"No.. no... I mean, everyone had a good time at the dragonslaying and no one was hurt after it raided the village consuming all its food"

She plants a smile on

"Okay... " Slowly parsing. "So you aren't hurt. Okay."

At that Eden's smile becomes mre geniuine "My soul maybe doomed to dark imaginings, but the flesh is scaly. " She pats another dog

"Well, you're pretty decent. So you're good by me."

A blush

"Pity you missed Imbolc. The music was awesome. And Tove won!"

"Yeah, heard she had a MILLION rivals" A pleased..smug look?

"It was the best holiday I've had yet, I think. Yeah, it was craaaazzzyyyy. I got to help in the kitchen, but Kerri as all, like, beetch pleez, I got dis"

At that, Eden does a tripple snap

A snort. "Exactly. So, like, mad cooking to keep everybody fed."

Whew "You know what I like best about Hearth Kerri? Grudgeless... knows how to to make Lemons into Champagne"

"Well, I bet she would."

"I like her a lot. The kitchen is always a safe place to go, you know?"

"Some more than others"

"Well, I dunno. I think everybody."

"I wish I wee a pooka somedays"

"Like - Kerri is real straightforward. She lets you know what she expects, and if you screw up, she shows you how to make up for it. She doesn't really, like, punish you. More... like..."

"Like?"

"Here's how to make it right, right?"

"Lays it out, so you know. And then, like, she doesn't stay mad."

"Don't know if I've ever seen her mad."

She nods "Or one could just arrange a trod to Bermuda"

"You sure everything is okay?"

"Abosolutely"

"That... that means no in pooka?"

"Can I help? You're my friend, I want to help."

Eden looks left, then right "I was the one who dragged all the troubadours here by their hair"

A long look as she tests out the statement.

"So..."

"Okay. But, like, it turned out okay."

"Ya?" A tilt of her head

"Sure. I mean, everybody ate and the food was good, and we had good music, so.. I mean, it's not like it was bad having people here?"

A look of relief then she gives Dagmar a hug

Blink, blink... awkward pat. "I'm happy to help?"

"Of all the Dagmars, you're the Daggest." Approving then a thought "uhm... could you answer a question? maybe?"

"Sure?"

"On a scale of -1 to -10, how much does Symon despise me?"

She bites her bottom lip

"Despise you? I don't think he despises you at all. He wanted to rescue you on Halloween, right? So you could have fun?"

A thoughtful look "Well.. I thought, well, I know I have no va va in my voom, but when I unlace my frill, he cuts out half way through Jurrasic park " Blushing FURIOUSLY

"Oh..."

"...I don't think Symon likes any dinosaurs?"

"Like, Symon does games and computers and stuff..."

"Yeeah? That's... that's uhm.. yeah... so the games he plays? "

"But not so much people?"

"Yuck. People. Glad I'm not one of them" she sighs

"Maze and Monsters! Maybe you could try it?"

"Maaybe" She ponders "Is it online?"

"No, at a table. But, like, since you are pretending to be someone else, wouldn't everything you say be made up?"
