A pause. "Not so bad being Sam, these days."

"Nope. "

"Kind of cool being James without the Y since I signed that paper"

"Sam King and her dad James." A grin.

A smile back, and a nod "It's good."

In the Lodge, Sylvi calls a quick hello to her mother then heads upstairs. She lets Flopsy out of her backpack, gives the aquarium tank a quick tap-tap-tap to say hello to the undead-thing-hand, and texts Colton ( Hey. Almost Saining-o'clock here. How's your day going? ) before she starts getting changed. Her best formal voile with the emissary sash, definitely.

And Dagmar and her dad go in to their house so she can go get that armor on

TXT to Sylvi : It's okay.

TXT "And on my way"

Sylvi smiles at her phone, and just texts back a ❤️ .

There is time - the armor can be a bit of an affair, with ties and buckles...

At the lodge, Siv bounds down "Sylvi, how is she?"

She almost allows a silent happy thought about how there haven't been any unforeseen emergencies arising...but squashes that notion before it gets far. You just don't tempt Da'an that way.

Tove can help with the armor buckles

Sylvi's checking her voile in the mirror and starting to work on her hair. "She's all kinds of jumpy, but good. Don't think she tried to kill anybody today, so that's a good sign."

"Jaymes is funny. He's totally proud-papa but trying to be all calm about it. It's cute."

"Oh yeah, like you and I never gushed or had our dads get all swelled," Siv smirks

Thank Tove! Buckles, and Flyswatter, and her hair up in a crown braid (thank Tove again!)

"You look so..." Tove beams, and almost says beautiful, but then decides to say it in a language the girl would prefer "You look like a hero."

"Oh, my Dad gets so sappy!" Sylvi smiles at Siv. "Yours keeps it under wraps better."

"But really...." hushed confession "...I like it when Dad gets sappy."

"I won't tell anyone if you don't tell anyone that mom was actually touched by that stupid large card" A wink

Dagmar beams. "Thanks!"

Sylvi laughs. "I think Vali has a deathwish, though!"

Tove goes downstairs with her, "Jaymes, you must look."

Jaymes turns to see Dagmar "Wow. You look so grown up"

"And clanky!"

"Well, not nearly so clanky as you'd think. Probably because it's, like, chimerical..."

"I wonder what death he's seen for hismelf that he's hoping to avoid it by having mom do it for him?" Siv smirks

Symon is around, hanging back from the hubbub and bustle so that he doesn’t get squished under some big blue feet, but he shoots Dagmar a grin and/or thumbs up whenever he catches her eye.

Soon enough, everyone is gathering at the lodge, Dagmar, of course, but there's also a very confused werewolf.

"This is... when you guys said trolls were BIG...." Gonzalez mutters "I mean..holy shit. Pardon me."

"Lupe!" Dagmar grins.

The enchanted garou gives a hug "That's only half of it."

"So this is what I really look like, yeah?" She LIFTS Lupe with the hug.

"Geez" she says

"Symon and Sylvi are around somewhere... Dirk, maybe, he's a bit unpredictable..."

Kerri has decorated the hall (with help from Gerd and Connor and others) with early-blooming bulb flowers and sprays of forced forsythia...it's very spring in the Lodge right now.

Sylvi grins at Siv. "He's lucky she was in a pretty good mood. Okay, let's go down and see everybody, sounds like folks are arriving."

"Oh, hey!" A grin and a wave when she spots Symon back, but she also reads the "too many people" body language and leaves him space.

Siv nods and bounds down the steps

He does manage to sneak over in between crushes of people and whispers to Dagmar, “just think, soon we can go travel the trods, visit Firnost if you want, but more importantly, you’re not getting away with staying home from quests again. I mean, the other guys are cool and all, but I need you at my front to slay the bad guys.” A grin up at Dagmar. “So, go slay this thing. I’ll be rooting for you subsonically.”

"Hell yes. Questing after school lets out."

Sylvi follows after one last check in the mirror, and then heads down the stairs after, Flopsy in her wake.

"I'd say right after this, but Jaymes is gonna probably say no..."

Olgar whistles, "Hey Dagmar. Got something for you to use if you want"

"Huh? Use? For this? Sorry guys.." She heads for Olgar.

"Hey, Gonzalez! You freakin' out yet?" Sylvi smiles at the enchanted prodigal.

He notices Lupita in residence and, if catching her gaze, gives a polite nod. Keeping an eye in her direction, and surreptitiously checking his phone to see if it’s a full moon tonight,

"Yup. Don't worry, you can go back to your friends. Actually, it's about friends. " He holds up what looks like an eyeball in his hand, and eyeball it is, well, made of quartz. Olgar hands it out "This will watch the events, then later, when a certain mortal dreams, he, or SHE, will see this whole thing when they next have a dream... it will be like they were here, kind of. Any mortal not here you want to see this?"
