"Yeah, she and Siv were here. They're both really missing Jonas. And...um...I guess they went back to their apartment?"

"I suppose so... and I get it. Trios are are, but I've seen it before. Two gals, one lucky guy, and if he's out of the picture they can enjoy each other but they miss the swizzle stick in their mocca blend"

Definitely a blush. "You mean...like, looking for another guy in the absence of Jonas? I don't think that's what either of them are doing. I mean...I think they're pretty, um, good at...enjoying each other...?" she finishes lamely.

"Oh no no... " She waves it off "I just meant they miss him and not just in 'romantic love' way. Though he is important there. Ever notice Jonas plays the straight man, no pun intended, to their comedy drama duo? Piper gets a bit manic pixie dream girl, Siv gets a wild hair, and there's Jonas... trying to balance em. I hope he's getting some nice peace and quiet and zen in the dreaming quest. He needed a vakay"

A dubious look. "When's the last time you went on a dreaming quest? Peace and quiet isn't the norm, in my experience."

"AH, you gotta point. Last time I took a Dreaming quest I ended up with a bowl of never ending jelly beans while a crazy diva dude from hell kept screaming 'give me the green ones' as he tried to clobber me"

A grin. "Sure that wasn't the weed?"

She takes a last drag , considering, then winks conspiratorially "You know, I'm really not" then she says "Well, now I have the munchies. I'm gonna order some grub. You want anything?"

"Um...chicken taquitos?"

"Thanks, Etsie."

While the satyr is ordering food, Sylvi takes out her phone and sends Symon a text:

And yes, she goes off to order food leaving Sylvi alone

A bit of a delay, and he simply answers "Y"

A frown.

She eventually responds. TXT: If you and I are not okay, please come talk to me so I can make it right.

Another bit of a delay. TXT: we're good. see u around soon am sure.

Something about that "Soon" has a trollish undertone, as in "I'm taking that as a promise."

Soon, the food is here, and the Freeholder and her Veep are chowing down on the meal together. Taking care of any munchies

And Sylvi is plotting a way to facilitate a get-together.
