Is she not pretty enough? Did she do something wrong? Oh drama!

Well, she knows he's Colton's friend...and Sylvi's in touch with Colton....

Right. "How's Kelly, not that I care" "If you don't care why do you..." "Not the point!"

Mind you, Sylvi got a teeeny pang of jealousy when Colton was making Dagmar laugh.

Yeah, both Siv and Sylvi has boooyyyyysssss for Beltaine

I think that went RIGHT over Colton's head. He's used to the jealousy being one way. 🙂

and he's stomping on it...because Coradel warned him about that and she was right

Dag is not really ready for boys yet.

Dag has reason to be on guard

Dagmar could have had boys too...plenty of offers to dance...but yeah.

I think she's self conscious about being so "big." 14 is hard.

Colton's being sweet...but that offer for a walk in the woods? Just a LEEETLE bit too risky.

And then there's the older wilder and younger grump aka Tove and Jaymes. Jaymes is now on Tove's radar and she's not sure if she wants to guide him in for a landing, or sic surface to air missles on him.

Brekke TOTALLY gets that.

(re: Dagmar & big)

Yeah, Tove & Jaymes is a dynamic I hadn't quite seen coming.

thank goodness for Symon.

I like it!

Yup . Troll girls strike me as the ones who end up against the wall when the music starts playingwith boys who are either too intimidated or don't see them as anything but 'you know, one of the guys'

Yup.

"Ingrid, smile for the boys." Bares fangs boys scatter

Ha!

Yup!

Dag is a tomboy.

Siv is actually thinking about her mom's not starting till...much later on dating and things. While she hoped for advice in some areas, she also is realizing that her mom is NOT a hypocrite asking her to take it slower sometime. And..that's oddly nice.

Siv wants to go go go

Yes, she does. And her parents seem glacial to her, but she's learning that there is more involved in that than her being fragile. Maybe.

Sally Mae, I think, is becoming kind of the 'safe slightly older sister figure' at RV for Siv and Sylvi.

Good. And yes...Brekke is not the one to go to for first-hand dating experience advice.

She didn't start dating at all until after her chrysalis...and she didn't chrysalize until she was out of college and out in the working world, I think about 24.

dang

Yeah.

yup.

Lonely woman.

Very

With her dad, Siv knnows that he has had a hard road on the path to mom, so he gets that too. she's..slowly grokking her parents in ways that being on the ship couldn't reveal.

Because she hasn't seen the real worl

Gerd is kind of happy being a kid, sure she envies the wilders their freedoms, but ..she realizes they're all slightly insane.

Yeah...the stories they would have told might not have revealed a lot about their younger lives. They might not even really had much access to those memories in the Dreaming, maybe?

"they've got the adolescence"

and it also takes a certain amount of maturity before your parents are people

Ha! Oh, Gerd.

Gerd is a happy kid.

God forbid someone hurt her.

She'll explode.

Vali would show whoever did there are a hundred and thirteen ways to hurt someone with cold.

Even unseelie, Dag is a troll. And Gerd is OBVIOUSLY innocent and must be protected

Rock on, Dag.

Also, I think it got lost in the rush, but somewhere in there, when Dagmar was telling about Bramblebrow, Sylvi wondered about the quest for three....

See, I find it amusing that is seems rather like it might shake out to be mountain, heart & storm in terms of personalities.
