"Me too, to be honest. I know what it means to you, and it will mean a lot to me as well"

"It's magic. So it'll be real. I mean, it'll be cool when all the paperwork happens, too. Tanya got to go to court and had her picture taken with the judge and the Browns and there was a party..."

"huh. What kind of party do you want?"

"Pizza?"

"Pizza party it is" A nod, and he moves to a calender in the kitchen and makes a note.

A grunt "Okay. What else do you have to do tonight?"

"...Forged in Fire?" Testing the waters.

"Mmm no homework you say?"

"No sir!"

"Okay. Tell you what, go shower so you can switch into your PJs and then we'll watch it together and you can go straight to bed after if you want. Good?"

"Yes! I'll be down so fast! Don't start without me!" And she's thundering off.

"I won't" and he uses the moment to clean up the plates, and text Tove he misses her and hopes her performance is going well.. and check the school website.

He smiles proudly and by the time she comes down, has sat downon the couch

The show paused at the intro

Dagmar is back down quickly enough, in the plaid flannel PJs that are still new. "It will keeeeeeeeeel." She drops down on the couch beside him. "Play it!"

"On it! Hope thi s is good as the Scythe one they did on halloween"

"It'll be awesome. Hey, what's a farrier?"

"They make horse shoes...I think. May not seem fancy, but boy they learn to smith fast" And the smiths enter at the smithy of honor.

"Maybe I'll be a farrier..." Content, settling in to watch.

"With your grades at shop? I bet you could take to it really well" And while there is no lady smith this night (Darn it) it wwould appear that the one after this is a rerun with a lady and.. could she coax just one more show out of him? yes. yes she could.

And she does, even if she's half-nodding off at the end of the last one.

If she does fall asleep, she'll wake in her own bed in the morning. Odin laid out on the pillow next to her head. She will have another day at school He ? He will be a cat. Clearly, the felines have it better.
