Colton smiles "Maybe He'll offer Symon dross or something to report on us?" A all ahead, "NOt saying you would, Symon, but her dad? Maybe"

Brekke nods to Jaymes, then goes back to listening to Tove.

"Maybe," Sylvi says through a grin.

...and stumbles gracelessly over a root.

"Oof!"

Colton catches her, "Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah!" Holding onto his arm. "Yeah, just...dark. We should have brought lights. Don't drop the thing..."

Tove whispers something to her father, and he pauses, and stops playing. She begins to sing, perhaps the last song o the evening solo,

"Im more worried bout dropping "You' you're more important" Colton says looking in her eyes "Break out my smartphone, it's got a flash light option"

A smile. "I won't break like a stereo. Here, let me take this..." She gets the cart from him so he can get at his phone.

Tove strums "When there's clouds hangin' in your sky
And they're just not lettin' any light in
And you feel like you'd like to give in
Don't you give up so soon" She stands as she plays moving about a bit as if refusing to be stilled any longer.

"What you need is a friend to count on
What you got, baby you got someone
Who will stay when the rain is fallin'
And won't let it fall on you" Fingers in motion, and wihle she she sings foreverone, she is definitely sticking close to Jaymes.

"I'll see you through
I'll cover you with a love so deep and warm and true
I will be there, oh" Jaymes looks up, pulled from his brooding between the chief's words and now this.

"Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright
Make everything alright, yeah
Na na nana na na..." She smiles a bit at him.

"I got arms strong enough to hold you" She mimes a flex
"Get you through anything you go through
Anything that you need you know it's only a touch away"

"When your heart needs a heart beside it
Should be mine that's it's keeping time with
'Cos I got so much live inside it
It beats for you every day"

"I'll be the one
To give you love
When it seems like there's just not enough
Mine will be there, oh"

"Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright
Make everything alright, yeah
Na na nana na na..." The music fills the area, perhaps folks even furter out can hear

"I'll be your shelter, I'll be you shelter Baby"

"I'll see you through
I'll cover you with a love so deep and warm and true
I will be there, oh" She's really hitting those notes

"Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright
Make everything alright, yeah
Na na nana na na..."

Colton gets his celphone lit up then turns "Woww, she can make her voice carry. an't make out all the words but.." he smiles "Sounds nice"

Frank sips his coffee, watching.

Kerri is awake enough to watch, eyes half-lidded as she grins, and she squeezes Olgar's arm.

Brekke watches Frank.

And further out, Sylvi smiles. "Wow...she's good."

OLgar kisses his the top of his wife's head

Jaymes actually does ssmile a litlte, nd when Tove finishes, he says "Beautiful"

Tove smiles "Glad you liked the song."

Jaymes nods "That too"

Cauzing Tove to blush but also look pleased

Brekke hides a smile in her coffee mug.

On the path, Sylvi pauses and looks back to where the singing was coming from.

Colton kisses her, "Come on, let's keep going"

Frank glances at Brekke with warmth.

Surprised by the quick kiss, Sylvi nods, one more hesitation with a look back...then she keeps going at his side, now she's carrying the cart while he lights the path.

Edwelweiss sees another dog in the distance and barks, but the other dog keeps going and Edelweiss stops

at the lodge, Torin sips his drink seeming amused by something

((Moving trip to house to Anywhere room))

Frank drifts closer to where Brekke is seated.

Jaymes looks bak at the house now and then, but he seems to like that Tove is sitting near him.

Olgar has been rubbing his wife's shoulders

Brekke reaches out to take Frank's hand, grinning.

Frank comes to her hand, taking it.

Kerri groans slightly at Olgar. "Cheater, you're using your superpowers again...." And she yawns as the shoulder rubs soothe.

"you had to marry an unseelie"

A smile and moreshoulder rubs

A sigh, "Yeah...oh, the torment of it all." And she rests her head on her arms on the table. "You have until sunrise to stop that, you know."

"I am duly warned" Olgar says

Brekke shakes her head in amusement at the Hearth and the Rover, and the tableau that seems to play out every year.

Frank settles in his 'spot' in front of her chair.

Speaking of tableau...Brekke absently strokes her fingers through Frank's hair.

Someone has by now, painted a crescent moon with a smile on Gerd's forehead to match Connor's smiling sun on his cheek

Vali looks like a drag queen from the neck up.

And now...it comes down to endurance. And Kerri's out, not snoring, but murmuring slightly now and then in her sleep.

Olgar smiles and when he thinks it's safe, winks to the others and gently carries his wife upstairs

Brekke chuckles. "I do not want to know the nature of the prank he pulls on her each year."

Torin says "he took her upstairs...no doubt she's going to be wearing something that if another man saw it, he'dd have to kill him" Voice of experience

Jaymes has frozen, very, very still.

On his shoulder, is a a sleeping Tove. She apparently fell asleep on him without realizing she was.
