Gerd slips in, carefully. the dogs fuss, of course, but she's not worried about them.

Making sure no adults are around, she takes a breath, and makes her way towards the bathroom to tend to her busted lip.

There are smells and sounds of cookies being baked in the kitchen....very tempting smells and sounds....

She already wiped the blood from her hands in the cold snow or water outside. Then she smells, and sighs..but worrying at her lip only reminds her it's busted. She sinks into the bathroom, and splashes her face to cool it off...maybe once washed it won't look busted? Oh! Wait... the perfect idea! Sylvih as make up! She'll cover it all clever! Gerd looks pleased with herself and gets to work with the lip stuff... she can this. It's just girl stuff? And she's a girly girl

The bathroom - upstairs?

A light is on and the door is closed.

The cookie smells get more and more tempting.

Well, the bathroom Sylvi would use, but if need be she'll use Siv's or even kerri's bathroom for the liip stuf.

Soon enough, Dagmar emerges - no shower in the lock room, but one here! She is dressed in sweats, with her hair wrapped up in a towel-turban.

the kitchen door swings open "Hi, Hearth. You have cookies?"

((Note: One full bathroom upstairs, one full bathroom downstairs near Kerri and Olgar's room through the kitchen, one half-bath downstairs off of the main hall.))

Upstairs bathroom! Though she's heading down...

Kerri grins at the question, her back still to the door. "Fresh from the oven. I want to save most for decorating, but perhaps I could spare a...." she turns and sees Gerd's face "....few." She frowns.

OOC: Good reminder

BIC: Gerd begins to have some worries her lip has been noticed despite her CLEVER cover up

A sigh, and Kerri wets a cloth under the kitchen tap and hands it to Gerd. "Wipe that off so I can see it. What happened?"

"Miss Kerri, do I smell cookies?" Teenager in the kitchen!

Gerd sighs "How'd you know?"

A half-grin for Dagmar. "You do, and you have certainly earned some." But she's still preoccupied with Gerd.

"The ones on the left rack should be cool. Take three." That's to Dagmar.

"You haven't quite mastered makeup yet, Gerd."

"Thank you!" She scoots over and snags exactly three. She fits the first one into her mouth whole.

"Oh." A sigh "Sylvi makes it look so easy" She wipes her face, and yes, reveals a busted lip

"I'm waiting," Kerri points out to Gerd.

"Aw shit - you get in a fight, Short Stack?

"oh" She hangs her head "Well, not much of a fight. I uhm.. might have knocked a boy to the ground"

"Might have...?"

"Okay, DID." Gerd says "there was this boy and he was a smaller boy a horrible word, because his dad is gay...but his dad wasn't around, and the littler boy lost his temper and started to fight, like the big boy wanted? And it started to turn into a beating, and I told him to stop it, and the bigger boy wouldn't stop it and then called ME a horrible word..i think...and I told him to stop or I would punch him." A blush "And then, well, I if I didn't I'd be lying right?"

"Damn straight."

Gerd sighs "AM I grounded? "

Kerri listens seriously. "Repeat the words. You will not get in trouble for saying them this time."

"I don't like saying them, they were hateful and hurtful and said in a hateful hurtful tone. You really want me to say em?"

Kerri considers. "You can whisper them to me. Or write them down. I want to know what you heard."

"Sounds like a bully."

She whispers to Kerri, after she bends down

Kerri listens.

And says "Sorry, told you they were bad"

Then a nod to Dagmar "he was"

Then she nods seriously and straightens. "You were right to be upset. The last one is an insult word for lesbians, by the way." She turns to get a cookie, but before giving it to Gerd, she takes some icing and puts a quick runic design on top. "Here...this should help."

She bites it in the center of the rune, tentatively

"He called you a dyke? I hope you hit him hard."

A wry look to Dagmar. "That was one of the less nasty words."

"I knocked him on his butt" She says "And I don't get it, what's wrong with Lesbians? Why would anyone... people make no sense"

"Some people can't understand people different from themselves. That, and bullies don't usually adhere to what makes sense."

"Mmmph" As healing magic comes from the cookie

"Well, I guess. I know you guys don't want me to fight, but... he was beating that boy"

"It sounds as though you defended somebody who could not defend himself. But how did you get a bloody lip?"

"Oh. I bent down to see if he was okay, and he kicked me in my face. I hit him again" A blush "I guess he suckered me " Then "He didn't get up on the second punch"

"Hm." Kerri frowns. "Where is this?"
