...........

Morning, Jessica may not be awake as it is pacific time TXT: Dad and mom are mad at me. Dad also got himself hurt again. He should be healed. I just found out. You don't have to go, but I thought you might want to know- your sis

The text wakes her, yes. She fumbles at her apartment bedside and winces at the glare, blinks to clear her vision, and reads....

And yeah, that's what it says

TXT: Why are they mad at you?

TXT: Not as important as Dad being okay

TXT: Don't let me get blindsided.

TXT: Fair. I rescued the Dawntreader because the Hearth wanted it done and dad loves that truck, and also because heya Right of Ignorance. Had to disguise myself as Dad to make sure it wouldn't draw attention from authorities. SO... he's pissed

TXT: Jesus, Siv.....

TXT: What? Seriously, Jessica? What the fuck did I do wrong? Uphold the Escheat? Save something precious to dad? Obey the Hearth's orders? Which of these crimes is so worthy of dad treating me like shit for?

TXT: Dad is treating you like shit?

TXT: A matter of perspective. Let's say he's treating me in a way that makes me feel shitty and call it that. Now, you said 'Jesus' and unless you're calling on him that indicates you thik something I did was a screw up. So spill

TXT: You told me Vali, Dagmar and dad went to... what, Nashville? To get information about a childling's mortal family?

TXT: Memphis. Yeah. Went south in more than one way, though they won. Dad got poisoned..and they took the KEstrel back home .Hence I had to go retrieve the truck. So?

TXT: You drove the Rig from Memphis to the Lodge alone?

TXT: I took a nap when I needed to. Had a bit of help at a stop. But other wise, yeah, why?

TXT: And you disguised yourself as Dad?

TXT: I Had dross, I always do. And yes, had to. Right of ignorance would be endangered if I didn't have the right man driving.

TXT: I talked to dad, he's fine. When did all this happen?

TXT: _Last night. _

TXT: He was fine when I talked to him. When did you do all this?

Her phone rings

She startles and answers it.

"Hello?" Her voice, not used yet, sounds thick.

"Can ye hear me?"

"Siv? Yeah, I can hear you."

"It was LAST NIGHT" She says "Texting doesn't seem to be working"

"Because I answered when it happened. It was last night. After I left, obviously. I just found out. " Exasperateed

"No, I mean when did you do all the stuff with the Rig?"

"While he was poisoned" She says testily

"How long was he poisoned for!??!"

"Oh fuck I don't know I thought he told you... look, Sis? You're really cheesing me off.. I have asked repeatedly what I did wrong and you don't answer. When I answer you , you move onto another question instead of answering. Do you even realize your'e being rude?"

"Do you even realize what the time is!?!"

Jessica tells her.

"Sorry to wake you, your highness." CLICK

Her sister just hung up on her.

"I'm just trying to.... oh, fuck you, Siv." Jessica drops the phone on the nightstand and drops back into bed.

And the Fenix bale grouses

(... from a distance, since Jess is at her apartment....)

She sighs.

There's a knock on Jessica's door

A soft groan, but she rises, puts on a robe, and does to the door. She stands off to one side and calls "Si?"

The smell of ... Rivervale cooking

That makes no sense.... She waits for a response, a sound, something.

"Siento.. or is it Sienta? Hell. I'm sorry"

Siv's voice

"Lo siento." She answers as she unlocks the door.

"Lo Siento. My Norweigan is better already and I TOOK Spanish argh" She says "Can I come in?"

"Of course." She makes way.

She comes in, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, and when I got the right thing I was... it felt liek you were blowing me off.. and I'm sure you didn't mean it that way. "
