"Okay." Snacks in tow, she claims a seat nearish Jaymes.

"It's a valid concern. Of course...if you're going by trod, it opens right inside the Freehold, so that's helpful."

A look to Kerri, then a smile, just a bit of one, as Dagmar claims a spot near him, so he asks Dagmar, 'You hope to go at the same time as Siv?"

"Maybe?"

Kerri hides her grin at Dagmar's snacks and seating choice, taking a sip of mint water.

"Not sure Siv is going." Frank points out.

"Huh," He says "Well, Like Frank says, it depeends. I'll consider it, but I'd still feel better if I went with you So we'll see"

"But family gets to go?"

"Well, you are family, but that's also why I want you to be... protected"

She shrugs. "Okay."

Frank lifts an eyebrow but dips his expression into his mug.

"Now, I knw you..." He pauses "Okay?" ALmost surprised, "Good. Thank you for understanding."

A carefully-controlled grin as she rises from the table. "Well, excuse me folks...things to do."

"Thanks, Kerri" he says

"Thanks for the snacks."

"Anytime, Dagmar." And she vanishes into the kitchen again.

Jaymes enjoys his own snack and drink, seeming at ease with Dagmar eatting by his side in away simillar to a Wolf chomping down on deer bits near a cub

But not that messy

Well.... Dag might not have the best table manners.

Frank smiles and stands. "I've got patrol. Thanks for the excuse to call Jessica, Dagmar. Let me know if there's anything you need. Either of you." He tidies up his mug.

"Huh," He looks at Dagmar, and, smiles a bit, "your call. Practice a bit of ball, sparring practice, or just a walk by the creek in the woods... or whatever, but hey."

"Sparring? Yes?"

A nod, "We have a practice polearm so you wont' have to use the swatter.. Follow me, we'll work on stance and some other fun things"

"Cool!" She bounces to her feet.

"Later, Frank"

Frank heads out the front door, stopping for a jacket and to pull his shoes on at the door.

Jaymees masks it wlel, but there's a bit of pep in his step at as well

"Bye Frank!"

The dogs seem confused on who to go with, so they split. Edelwiess will keep an eye on Frank, and Oak will watch two of the people practice their fighting.

*King of the Road*

Dag is enthused, ready to work hard and wail away with said practice glaive.

Jaymes will be a patient teacher, and try to hide his smile at her energy.
