"Thank you" He says "Now, what do you want on the pizza I'm ordering?"

"Pepperoni?"

"Anything else?"

"Lutfisk or at least Sardines?" Tove joins in merrily

She wrinkles her nose. "Fish don't go on pizza."

"Oh fine,no fish" SHe says "Would bacon be okay?"

"Bacon is okay."

"Okay, Pepperoni, Bacon and extra cheese" He says and goes to make a call "You go clean your room while I do this"

SIGH. But... up the stairs she goes.

When she gets done, she finds a large Pizza and a smaller medium, both with pepperoni.

And yes, they can watch a movie

And so it is Siv comes into the lodge with a bloody nose and a victorious grin

She's almost glittering with glamour

"Edewleiss, Oak, how you doing me doggos?" she grins and pats them

"Arooof, roof roof!" A pup squeezes past her through the doorway, and shoves his head at her hand as well, begging for a pat of his own.

"Connor, you're a little boy not a puppy and.. oh I can't help meself" She gives him a pat too, " now go change to two legs for a bit if you don't mind?"

He gives a canine WHOOF of dismay, but scampers off to put his boy-suit on. Coming back, he is lugging.... oh man, is that Kerri's ENTIRE first aid kit?

"What happened? Did you fight the bandits? Did you win? Did they DIE??"

Brekke, perhaps alerted by a disturbance in the Force, enters the Lodge from the training ring side, through the kitchen and into the main hall. One look at Siv, and...."What happened." Tense concern.

"Okay okay..easy, I did get into a bit of a tiff...no one died. Just fists...and it wasn't a bandit but it was a creep who didn't realize no meant no" She reaches for the kit "Thank you for the hought but.." A turn, "mom! uhm. hi"

Catching the end of that, she deploys the dread eyebrow. "A creep? Who?"

He hands over the kit, sniffing at Siv a bit, checking that she's OK. "Did you BITE 'em?"

Dagmar follows the commotion.

"Hang on." Brekke goes back into the kitchen for a moment, and returns with a damp cloth. "Sit."

"Just a guy at a buss stop who.." SHe sits down

"Aw, damn! Who won?"

Siv's nose is unbroken, but bloody "Who do you think?" Proudly

He drops to the floor, sniffing the ground, and follows his nose to run - right into Dagmar, and tumbles backwards. "He needs a good biting!"

"Connor, do not track him. He's gone by now out of the neighborhood. Mom there's no reason to make a fuss"

"You, I'd bet. Hi Connor."

"So I don't need to punch nobody?"

"I hope you learned him better than he learned your nose, so he doesn't nose where he shouldn't nose no more. Even I know that noses don't nose where I know they don't go, and you know I know."

"I want to hear the entire story." Brekke hands Siv the cloth, resisting the urge to clean her daughter's face for her.

A blink at Connor, and a near grin.

"Folks I won the fight, have a little faith..." THen at her mom's request, "Okay, you know the nearest bus stop? There was this girl on the bench, bit older than me, mortal... and there wwas this guy pawing at her, or trying to. Said something about how he paid for a good meal, so he owed him a little consideration.."

"Well, she got powerful scared... and he was bigger than her..." She wipes her face a bit

"Hmmmm." An irritated rumble.

"And she reached for her cell , and he grabbed it and threw it in the garbage. I guess she was going to call for help or try to record?"

"Hmph. Guys think you always owe'm..."

A glance at Dagmar, but no comment. "And then?"

"Well, this guy did... so I come up to him, and say "hey, leave her be' and he turned and said 'or what?' and I said or I'll do something.." A look to connor as if only now regersting the nose talk "AH...right. Yes. He 'nose' better now"

He beams up at Siv as though she were the sun dawning across his face. "That's 'Goodboy' work there, that is."

But then ducks a bit, and glances guiltily over to the Chieftain. "But... hitting isn't nice?" Tentative, questioning.

"Hitting is okay if you're defending somebody else, right?"

"So he shoved me, and well, that made it easy didn't it? I said thank ye kindly, and brought my knee up to his groin...and the fight was on"

"Well, he did place hands on me first, Dagmar so I think btween defending another and that I was in me rights"

"I'd think so..."

A slow nod. "I would agree. He made the first aggressive move. And you were defending another. How badly did you hurt him?"

"Well, mum, I suppose I didn't much care how bad I hurt him.. after he bloodied me nose I got a mad... huh, wonder if that makes me vain? I grabbed his head and slammed it against the glass, HARD and I think I broke his. Because that took a lot of the fight out of him. Before that we traded some blows, shot for shot. He didn't hit as often as I did, but strong for a non troll so I felt it when he did. Get me in a good blow. Oh where was I...anyway, broke his nose, he spun around, and I put my foot up his backsside and told him to run!"
