#elsewhere

Tove ignores the whistles with Troll aplomb.

And as she launches into a second song, her eyes look over and she almost loses the tempo... as she sees Dagmar, but with effort she keeps singing

Dagmar is a statue, steady as a boulder in a constantly shifting sea of people.

the near mistake means this song isn't AS GOOD but it's still damned good

who is that jerk who keeps cat calling?

Glaaaaaaaaaaare

(Charisma plus intimidation roll if you like)

/roll 5

THe cat calls stop, sure, she's young looking, but she also looks like she might go over there and murder him for fun. So the guy shuts up

A curt nod. They have an understanding.

And the third song switches, and the musicians are suprirsed, as Tove looks at her daughter, gives a nod of her own, and sings to the crowd, well, she's singing for her daughter possibly

"You think I'd leave your side, baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you want
And if only you could see into me" A smile


Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me


When you're on the outside, baby
And you can't get in
I will show you
You're so much better than you know
When you're lost and you're alone
And you can't get back again
I will find you
Darling, and I will bring you home
And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time, you'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side, baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
And if only you could see into me


Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby"

Dagmar KNOWS that.

But she's here for Tove!

There are cheers and.. Tove bows and then ..sllips behind the curtain, but Dagmar might notice the 'head jerk' that means 'meet me around the corner'

Dag goes that way

Dagmar comes to find her mom on the step to the backstage's side. "Dagmar? what are you doing here? Is CJ okay?"

"CJ's fine. Torin and Dad are home."

"Good" SHe says relieved "So why are you here alone?"

"Why do you think I'm here alone?"

"Why are YOU here alone?"

"I'm paying back a debt" She answers (True)

"That's why you are here. But not why you are here alone."

"Oh" Realization "Dagmar I, I'm sorry. I didn't ... did I hurt your trust?"

An expression flickers across her face, but she decides to shrug instead of answer.

"I didn't tell you because I ... I suppose I didn't like Thyle and this is rleated to that. I didn't want you to have to do anything with them 'reformed' or not"

"I don't know much about it, but this dude sounds sketch AF."

"Eamon helped your grandfather and I when times we rough. " she says after a long pause

"Yeah. And when is it square?"

"Hopefully after this" She doesn't sound sure "I apologize honey. I didn't want you in this, and instead I made you worry. "

Scowl.

"So he determines what's square?"

"There are limits. You really think I'd put up with too much?" she says

"Uh, yeah."

"Mmph" ("Well I wouldn't")

Brow.

"Well.." she frowns "I don't THINK I would"

"And that's why you shouldn't be here alone."

"Dagmar... this place isn't wholesome.. wait, you asked why I thought you'd be here alone. you're not? Who's with you?"

"Logistics and Intel."

She ponders then whispers "Symon's here?""

A small nod.

"Bless that boy" She says glad her daughter has someone watching her back

"We're a team."

"A good one" Her mom nods

"...Yeah." Quiet grin.

"Okay." Tove ponders "Stay around, I hope to be done in the next two hours. Eamon is somewhere around here, and should be getting what he needs to help him. Which should even us"

"There's should again."

"Mmmph" ("Mommy's GOT this")
