"you okay?" Siv says softly

"Sure." Gruff.

"Okay. Want to try the tank game while we talk?" Siv says, remembering that sometimes folks talk more when they have an activity

"We can try it, yeah..."

Stomp stomp towards the living room, pausing to scoop up Odin en-route. "He likes watching."

"Well, someone has to be the ref" she observes and they plug it in, each of them given a tank to stomp all over nazi scum.

Dagmar concentrates, laughing when she gets to roll over the hessian horde with prejudice.

Siv says "Should we feel bad when the make ouch noises in German?"

"Hell no. It's funny! ACH! ACH MEIN GOTT! Fuck yeah, I'm a TAAAAANNNNKKKK!"

A laugh "Glad you like"

"C'mon - you get those Huns over there..."

"On the starboard! Got it" She says , forgetting starboard is for ships!

"TAAAANNNNKKKK!"

Siv laughs then "Shit, they've got panzers!"

Odin seemingly disapproves of the noise and makes a show of turning around - in Dagmar's lap, blocking her view.

"Gah! Cat!"

"Help I'm o no Odin..not now... " A panzer bombardment!

Dagmar ducks and weaves, trying to play around the feline assault.

Siv groans "My engine is down... I got one shot left..." //Odin looks at the controller and swats it when Dagmar makes it move

"Hey, Squinty!"

Ack! Her tank is spinning and a panzerhits her tank dead on! Her gun is down!

Siiiigh. "Dead!"

"Me too" She eyes Odin "I thought you were Siamese, not Teutonic"

"He seems to be a traitor."

Odin cleans himself, thus rendering all charges spurous

A sigh, and she scratches his head.

"Well, up until the Cat Merc that the nazis hired....with tuna or something, it was fun right?"

At the scratch and the word 'tuna' Odin mews and turns as if to say Tuna? don't toy with me here. Where?

"Oh, now you've done it..."

"What? He doesn't know 'off' or 'out of the way' but he knows Tuna?"

MEOW

"Yeup."

"I think you're in for it now..."

"Oh your'e worse than Mackerel" she says to the cat

"Meow" Firmer

"Well? You promised him, obviously..."

"Well, I left it in my other pants"

Oh firm one eyed stare.

"Let's find some tuna treats?" Siv finally breaks down

"We have them in the kitchen. C'mon..."

The cat 'herds' the girls towards the kitchen with an unblinking gaze

"We know, she heard you..."

"Geez... " but soon the sacrifice to Odin is prepared...as it was in the old days
