"You dangling a line infront of a cokehead when you put it THAT way" A grin

"Well, get yer jollies out wit' imaginin' that shit until it get old, a'ight? Ain' needin' no diplomatic incident shit."

"Fine...I save the complaining about them damn liams for when they all withered" He grumbles. No sooner does he help a woman get mentally and physically healthy (to be a higher class of sex worker) than the Liams seem to swoop in and help her get out of the life.

"Works fer me. They jus' don' understan' that some peoples got talents in bed...marketable talents!"

"It's a damn community service" he snorts. The COVID tests are mandatory, not by the law, but by him. It's cut into some profits. "Now.. come on.. walk me through like I was Blue and Stupd as practice"

So she can show him how she'll do the tour

Which she does.

(end Scene)

Ariel says "I wonder if Mara is going to be at Skyhook? I don't know if she's still there or back at the farm" She pokes her cereal

"Why would a troll be at Skyhook?"

"Oh she's not a troll, she's DeBuke by blood but ..." a giggle "She turned into a nocker... just boom. NO wonder they never coaxed out the troll of her. She was always so BORED with just the regular, but she was happy to help Bix with fixing cars and things... then one day, she decided not to just fix something but IMPROVE it and BOOM..nocker girl. " Ariel says "She's not bad, but she sure gets cranky if you touch her tools"

"Ohhh, yes. Nockers are very particular."

"YUP. " Ariel munches her cereal "She said that if I did it again she'd take a sander to my hooves. I THINK she was joking" Clearly not as sure as she's like to be

"Hard to be sure..."

"Yeah... but I decided NOT to grab nocker tools just to be safe"

Wisdom learned. Holger eats his own cereal, looking delighted at this brand he has never had before.

Boo berry

Does Ramona like cereal milk?

So it would seem.. as she helps herself up to sniff at it

and unless stopped, will begin to lap at it

Ellie is more prone to giggle than to discipline.

They've missed the cats, and the cats have missed them.

Holger's cat slides off the table when he gauges wrong...

without missing a beat, the troll catches his cat, and puts him ddown gently rather htan let him flump too hard

Ariel stares "they're supposed to be able to land on their OWN feet, Holger"

Holger shrugs

"A knight is sworn to catching. His hands do not let the kitty falls. His heart.." struggling with the English "Knows only cuddles"

"Has Salma been translating for you again?" Ariel guesses

"Si!" He beams

A smile.

Ariel looks at Ellie and whispers a quote from Frozen "I'm gonna tell him"

but soon they're being told to get ready for the next leg of the tour
