Jaymes shrugs back, "Well, I got news. If that's what you think, you've got it reversed. We're not moving around you because we're trying to fiigure out who gets 'stuck' with you, we're trying to figure out who is best for you. We're not sure which of us are right, or even good enough. "

Sylvi's eyes are big and bright as she looks back at him. "Oh...I...me too. I mean...with you." A little wince as her words come out sideways.

Colton smiles at that, blushes a bit himself, "Thanks." Taking the meaning instead of the side ways part

"I don't want to go. I like..." She fumbles. "I like it here."

"Good, we like having you here," Jaymes says, "In fact we aim to.." He clams up, "Sorry, ah, somethings in motion so you can be here more often."

Sylvi gives another little smile. "Thank you, too." Not looking away.

Colton sighs, content to get lost in Sylvi's bright and beautiful eyes, "Would you like to walk ...to the woods for a bit? Maybe we can find the same spot Siv and Kelly got...lost."

"That's... okay." A nod, uncertain.

Sylvi hesitates, and bites her lips. "I... want to. But."

Jaymes nods, "Good, " And thinks on it, "Loook, Dagmar. I am sorry I opened those old wounds. it's been bothering me for a bit. Andd I know you have no reason to believe us but our word, but there's no one here at this lodge, or the neighborhood of fae for that matter, that would want you hurt. We're just very clumsy at showing it sometime. well, maybe not Frank. he's like mr. Rogers on steroids."

"It's not... it's just... it's just what it is."

Colton nods at the hestiation, "uhm.. I think I'm supposed to read a poem about rosebuds and gathering and stuff? but that's..not my strong suit, and besides, if it makes you uncomfortable, then don't ever. Not even with me and..." A sigh and a mutter "I am can't believe I'm saying this. whatever we both want when we want it, can wait. Maybe forever , maybe for never, maybe next week. it's okay. "

Sylvi listens, her expression going serious, and she blushes again. Then a nod. "Okay. And...thank you. For understanding." A little pause, then she leans in to kiss him carefully.

"Not anybody here's fault I'm broken." Resigned.

Colton returns the kiss, soft and gentle, "You're welcome. " Wistful, "I'm still going to dream though."

Jaymes raises a brow, then "I'd say more bruised than broken, maybe wounded a bit, but... you'll heal if you're given what you need. We all have scars, Dagmar, old wounds, unfortunately yours were never tended to properly and that's through no fault of your own. " A pause, "Hope you don't mind me saying, but the 'system' mortals have sucks."

A little bashful laugh from Sylvi. "Okay." She seems about to say something else, but doesn't.

A snort. "It blows. Few more years, I can get a job. Then I can be on my own."

Colton ponders asking Sylvi what she was going to say, but then decides maybe it's best not to.

"I...think I'm going to go in, now." Sylvi stands.

"Oh, um..may I walk you to the door?" He says, then Colton adds, "I'd walk you to your room but I think a Great Pyreanness Fae hound might sit on me."

Jaymes nods, "Maybe something sooner than that will come up. If anything, you're DUE for some good luck after all those years of bad hands."

Siv has flirted a lot, and looks rather pleased with herself , delighted at having got to .. you know, try it! That said, she is wishing the other fellows, especially Kelly, well

"Yeah, you're probably right." Sylvi nods, and she gathers up the vase with the flowers.

"Maybe." A sigh, wistful, rather than reflexively dismissive.

Jaymes nods "May indeed be. You sure you don't want that soda?"

Colton escorts Sylvi to the door, and gives her a soft kiss beforeshe goes in, "Night. I had a great time. "

"Well.. okay. Is there Dr. Pepper?"

Sylvi returns the kiss. "So did I." And...she kisses him again.

"Yeah, hold on and.." A cooler opened, and one cold dr. pepper handed over.

Colton and Sylvi 'say good night' with just a few more kisses, both a bit breathless when it ends.

"Thanks." A cautious smile.

Eventually Sylvi pulls away, catching her breath and smiling shakily. "Wow. Good night, Colton. Happy Beltane." And she opens the door and slips inside the Lodge. He could easily follow if he chose to...but she closes the door.

"No problem," Jaymes says drinking his own beer.

She settles down to sit nearby, and drinks her pop.

*Sylvi out*

Siv waves to the boys, espeically Kelly, then starts to leave acting super cool about this...until she turns and sees a Kestrel fly off towards the trods. Her eyes widen, her lips part in surprise, and she swallows, and ducks on into the lodge herself.

Colton sighs, and heads by Jaymes and Dagmar, "Hey Dagmar, I should head home now, but I'll work on the bangs. "

"AND the emo pout. You'll get all the girls."

"And probably some boys."

Colton admits, "I don't want All the girls just..well... " blush "But thanks. You gonna see AntMan and the Wasp when it comes out?"

"I want to... yeah. Probably gonna see if Symon wants to, too."

"cool. Symon's got mad knowledge" A smile from Colton.

Jaymes raises a brow, "you and Symon get along pretty well huh?" asking Dagmar

"Symon's pretty cool, yeah."

"Huh," Jaymes says "I think his step mother's glad you're a friend to him. She seems to want to get him a few."

"She's a... well, I'm sure she means well."

"I don't think sluagh and boggans are much alike."

"Boggans always mean well, but theyre' good folk, and no, not much alike." Jaymes nods, then looks to Colton, "You heading out?"

Colton nods, "Yeah, I should go home, feed the cat, that kind of thing. Been a great party here though"
