more likely "Can I go to Sylvi's?"

I think the latter might be more successful. Ask for a sleepover.

"Making friends, really cool girls, want to be in their group...."

yup!

And she's had sleepovers with SYlvi before

Tanya, of course, is in the Parade with the cheerleaders

Of course she is.

Yeup

Tanya is, obviously, the special one

Well, obviously to the Lodge, Dagmar is.

true

but to the Browns? She's somewhere between paycheck and virtue signal/moral duty

Why won't she just be pretty and cheerful and bubbly and like makeup?

They seem nice enough.

yup!

Dag is adamant that they are fine.

Compared to open abuse, mild detachment is wonderful

True.

Sam is treated well. She's just not one they're going to go above and beyond for, move to adopt, anything like that.

Frank called it when he said she's never been "first"

She can be.

Well, Jaymes may or may not realize it, but she's really trying to give him a shot

see if he's "safe"

hihi

A bit unfair, really. Since, arguably, Dagmar is dangerous.

*waves!!*

She loses her temper? Bad for anyone on the wrong end of those fists

Well, let's see a little Dagmar/Jaymes action then !

We have guests today but I should be able to split attention

*chuckle* I'm still on for Shabbos if you are, too.

And I owe you some lawnboy info?

Where were we on that?

you owe me lawnboy info, yes

and I want to shabbos but am at Mom's

Right after-trodding.

so, you know, mom rules

Ah. Mom. *nod* Ok, let me do you some lawnboy.

well, if Frank asks Dag to help in Baltimore, she will

I do think Jaymes realizes he's being.... interviewed, so to speak

Yeah. He's both amused and frustrated by that. "What, do I need to juggle logs?"

ha

She's been burned before

She might need to pester Frank about the oath again

he got distracted last time

Olgar notices that. Show Frank something shiney and he's off

I think Dagmar desperately wants it to be "real"

I started three lab adoption applications yesterday and got the address/map/phone to the local animal shelter.

I ascribe that to the House; 'New info? Woah, wait, yes!'
