"Can't sleep, I keep thinking about... I'll try" He rubs his eyes

A little shrug from the troll.

"Good. And I understand. I'll do what I can, Vali. We'll see." An encouraging grin.

Vali grunts, then says "Did you get all that?"

Directed towards the door

A sigh from Kerri. "It was too much to hope that they'd mind their business, wasn't it?"

"Dagmar, get away from there" Nadeen says "it's not polite"

Eden's jaw drops

She raises an eyebrow.

Nadeen has also scooted abit away from that spot

"Yeah, real nice." A scowl.

Nadeen shrugs and mouths 'no point in more than one of us getting caught right?'

Vali says "Yeah. I used to be a spy so not like I can throw stones here." He grunts

"ANyway, I'm going to catch a nap"

"Rest well, Vali. I'll let you know." She doesn't even mention that she's letting him skip out on the cleaning up she was going to make him do.

"That's BS."

Vali comes out "What's BS?"

The others are not as lucky. "Ladies, if you're done with your cocoa, bring your mugs here and help me. Connor, you too."

"Mrrrp?" He looks up from his drink, sticky faced, and wanders along. "More marsh-a-lows!"

Nadeen sighs "I'm sorry, Dagmar, that was wrong of me. I was snooping, and blamed Dagmar." Loud enough so kerri can hear too, "Let me handle the chores."

He looks from Dagmar to Nadeen, and back again, then to Brekke. "Me too."

"Was Tiffany on the Kestrel? She's at New Agengard."

"I was snoopy." He nods and licks the rim of his mug, then slips past them to start filling the sink (neatly!) with soapy water.

Vali sighs "Maintenant je sais pourquoi les tigres mangent leurs petits." and moves on to his room letting Kerri handle this then he turns "Wait, what?"

THe last to Dgmar

Kerri doesn't make a big deal of the admission, merely nods slowly to Nadeen. "Good choice."

A glance as Vali reacts to Dagmar. She half-listens while helping with the clean up. "Thank you, Connor."

"I mean... nothing?"

"You said Tiffany ... yes she works at New Agengard, why would she be on the Kestrel?"A bit bleary from lack of sleep, Vali is on the first step

"I dunno.." She frowns. "Guess she wouldn't."

"But she works for the Countess, I mean."

"Yeah, I thought you knew. " Vali says

"Sort of?"

Nadeen sighs and works, then says "Connor was an angel"

Vali looks at Dagmar, "Dagmar, I'm... not exactly at full strength, but if you know something about Tiffany I'd really like to hear it"

He helps out, and gives advice to Nadeen as he sees her eyeing a sponge dubiously, "If you put 'em in the water for a bit then the sticky comes off easier. Here, I can wash 'ems and then you can dry the clean ones? On account of I can't reach the up-cabinet and I'm not supposed to stand on the counter no more."

"I don't think I know anything!"

"Okay okay, sorry if I upset you" Bleary eyed he sighs and moves up the stairs gone

She sighs, and heads for the kitchen.

Kerri supervises and assists the clean-up.

"Miss Kerri?"

Dagmar's job, of course, is to put things back on high shelves...

"Yes, Dagmar?"

"What if you think you might remember something but don't really remember remember it?"

"Hmm...happens a lot. Well, I think you take it for what it is -- a possible but not certain memory -- and you talk it out to see if any more comes of it. Do you want to share?"

"I don't want to get anyone in trouble..."

"I.. on Halloween... I remember being on the boat, you know?"

Splish splash. Maybe a lot of water is getting around, but at least it's clean water, and suds...

A blink. "The Kestrel? Hm. Do you remember anything else?"

A sigh. "Flying..."
