"Dirk is not an idiot like I first htought he was... EXCEPT when it comes to women. Serenity gives him such a hassle, a REDCAP a hassle. You know, and I know, that means she feels safe around him... he's listening to what she's saying and not what she's doing. I know it's not fair to expect a guy to be a mind reader, but DAMN, over his head everytime"

"Think we should tell him? Nudge him that there's something going on there?"

"Mixed feels on it.. the attraction IS mutual, by the way, I can tell that. SHe's no sidhe but she's got that princess vibe that some guys go for, I guess it makes sense she was a internet star, but it brings out some almost troll instincts in him, no offense."

"Well, protective instincts, sure, but...is he attracted? 'Cuz if he is, he might not believe that she is."

"This is delicious, by the way," she says, indicating the plate that she's almost cleared.

"Oh he's got thirst" She assures, then smiles at the food praise "I should bring more by to donate to Goldfinch" She observes "Others cook better than I do but I'm not bad and you guys could use it more. " THen she switches back "He wants to bone her, pardon the lingo, but he also cares about her as a person... which is GOOD, but he doesn't want to take advantage is part of it, little fledge gal and all"

"Y'know, 'got thirst' can be a little disturbing in terms of a redcap. But good. So maybe we leave it alone until she's sained?"

"That's my thought, but here's the kicker" A smile "Serenity is going to dress up for her sain day... fancy dress? She's gonna WOW him."

"Oh, I absolutely have to be there to see that in action. I forget when her sainday is?"

She tells her (Because ST needs to do the math)

(( 🙂 ))

"Sooner than I thought! Okay, putting that in the calendar." A sigh. "I'm being a sap, but I hope this works out for both of them for a while."

"Nothings lasts forever" then "Who are YOU seeing right now?"

A blink. "Weren't you subtle once?"

Sylvi's phone dings.

She laughs

"Hold that thought..." She takes out her phone and looks at the screen.

TXT: Gondor calls for aid. Can explain in person, but none of our crew should eat at [Lucia's Family's Restaurant}

TXT: Her parents are douchebags

TXT: Don't tell Lucia

"Dagmar's..." she pauses as she gets the third message. "...texting. Hang on a sec."

TXT: I mean, dont' tell her about boycott. you can tell her her DNA donors suck ass

TXT: Copy. Getting the 411 from her right now at GF. Wanna come over?

TXT: k

"Oh sure, Dagmar's been great"

TXT: She brought food, so bring an appetite.

"She's on her way over. And she's pissed at your folks."

"For the record, I am too, but I'm pretty sure they'll figure they're being idiots eventually. Maybe with help."

"With help?" Dubious "Do NOT sick Rikki on them, no one deserves that" Then a beat "Oh, and you totally didn't answer my not subtle question. I KNOW you've got someone on the side... boggandar, but who?"

She rolls her eyes, having been caught. "Problem is, boggandar is connected to boggantalk. I don't mind telling you, personally, but I don't want to piss off some other people."

"Is it okay if I guess?" Eyes shine

"Oooh...I'm kind of interested in seeing what guesses you'll come up with." A smile. "Shoot."

"Well, Linwood likes you wonder if you caught on? If so, maybe there's a ride. Other option is Basil, you and that satyr pop a bit when you're together" a smile "Last idea is that Doordash guy with the warm smile"

Dagmar texts as she heads to Goldfinch - several other wilders are informed of the boycott. So far, none of the grumps.

A surprised look. "Linwood? I mean, I've thought about it, but no, I didn't catch that he was thinking about it too. Huh." When Basil is mentioned, she taps her nose twice to indicate yes, then laughs about the Doordash guy. "Cute, I'll admit."

Dagmar gets positive responses! Even the redcaps, Dirk and Prissy, agree to boycott it!

"AH HA! Basil... I wondered." She claps "Good on you and him. Don't worry, he's not kissing and telling."

Siv, Piper & Jonas are informed in a group text. Very efficient!

A grin. "He's great. Fun, y'know?" Lucia might get a sense that she hasn't got the whole answer, though.

"He is, And got a great six pack" She tilts her head "mmmm I sense an undercurrent. E-laborate??"

A faux-innocent blink. "Don't know what you're talking about!"

"Omigawd, Mic, the hell? Yes, hi!" Dagmar tromps downstairs, arms somehow full of orange cat.

The boggan hears Dagmar come in, and whispers to Sylvi "Saved by the Knight, how appropriate" With a promise they WILL return to this later, then loud and pleased "Hey, Dagmar, come get some food!"

Mic is functioning on that single brain cell of his

A smug look to Lucia at the rescue, then a smile to Dagmar. "Hey, you. Let me take him while you eat." She reaches for Mic.

A text back to Dagmar from Piper: Noooooo! My garlic bread! 😭

"I was promised food!"

TXT: My mom'll make you garlic bread I promise. But please?

"Gnocchi, Lasagne, and Pesto right over here. Made by me which may not be the BEST but good darn it" A smile "Help yourself"

"It's pretty damn close to best," Sylvi says, letting Mic lick a bit of meat sauce off her finger.
