"Blonde moment?" Rikki assk

She shakes her head. "If only we were in London..."

"I was hoping we could maybe head back" Jonas looks at her hopefully

"Long as she doesn't forget to leave me the memo"

"I... yes. You're right." A deep breath. "...do you think Siv will be upset? ..or Sylvi?"

"The... what?"

Rikkki huffs "MEMO , the wisdom you fought for, tell your local pooka shit, that was the goal"

Piper gives Rikki a blank look. "I don't remember anything about that."

"You sure you'rre ot a peacock pooka?" Zane asks Rikki

She even waits a few moments, before poking the pooka with a grin. "I can only assume that the mustache is from YOU."

"Yes. I think I learned what I needed to." She tells the group.

"Oh, no, that that vegan diet" She grins

"SIv is angry mostly at herself last I saw" Jonas says

"Then we need to go to home." A nod. "Is there a trod that will return to Rivervale from here? Or... we could call her to bring the Narwhal... but I don't want to take her from her duty..."

Zane looks at his phone "We missed Pennons"

"I was kinda hoping we would miss Samhain. Is that selfish of me?"

"I thought you liked Samhain?" Jonas asks

"I do... but my lovers don't, and it's not all about me." She admits.

"Well, in this case, Sylvi is hoping you're helping her with Symon at gold finch... see, she plans on running Samhain this year at GF instead of RV.." Zane says

"With... Symon??"

She looks a bit baffled at that. "I didn't think that place was his jam. Loud, and like, boisterous, and stuff."

"Well, I think he gets to spook some folks? But maybe I missheard that part"

"He spooks me, alright." She admits, "But if Sylvi needs help, I owe it to her."

She takes out her phone, and starts to send a text... then stops, and instead, dials a number. Calling Siv.

She takes a few steps away from the others. Not so much from Jonas, but a little privacy.

"Siv. We're back."

She swallows, emotion making her voice thick, and stopping her up as emotionally constipated as a Rivervale Troll.

"Where.. where are you ? I'll take the Narwhal to you if I can? If .. if you don't mind?"

"I want to see you. Please, come get us?" She looks around... a little uncertain, until she gets her bearings. Oakland, right. That means that if they just go... wait a minute! This is her turf.

"Do you just need the name of a body of water to go there?"

"I can google that... be at.." She names the area

"Yes, we'll meet you there. Um, do you have room for a stowaway?"

"Well, sure. " she says

"We found Rikki... It's a bit fuzzy how. I remember... spears? And some sort of drumming..." She shakes her head. "Anyways. We'll wait for you there."

"Rikki went after you? Well.. that's nice of her. Sure"

She hesitates, then asks, "Is Kassedy with you right now?"

"Yes, but don't worry, I'll leave her with Connor"

"No... can you bring her? Please?"

"Oh , ae you sure?"

"No, but... I mean, I am sure. Please."

"OKay... we'll be waiting .. I love you"

And she hangs up. And so , little less than a half hour the plank to the Narwhal lowers

"Goldy tones" Siv waves

She looks like she wants to leap into Piper's arms

(Finale to be done later)
