"I didn't." Not anger - pleading, perhaps?

Sylvi bites her lip. "You're...scared?" she asks tentatively.

"M'not scared. Just... just stop. Nothing happened."

And she winces slightly at the ding in her head.

"Ok. Stopping." Siv says "Sorry if we made you feel put on the spot. " Truth "Okay. Now, about Firnost?"

"Wait, no, hang on. Okay, Dagmar...I'll stop, but I want to say this, first...you're my friend, and I'm yours. And even if nothing happened now, I just...well, I just want you to know that if you told me, I wouldn't make fun of you or judge you or tell anybody else unless I thought you were being hurt, and then I'd try to get you to tell somebody yourself first. I just...I just feel like that needs saying. So...sorry. Yeah." A deep breath. "Firnost."

Dag chews on her thumb, worrying at hangnails.

"And I mean that forever, by the way." Sylvi adds.

A little nod.

"As for Firnost..." a sigh. "I'm pretty sure I don't get to go anywhere for a while."

"Well, I'll take her then, if she doesn't mind?" A look to Dagmar from Siv "I need something to take my mind off bancroft a bit anyway and.. I don't visit often"

Shrug.

"You do still want to go to FIrnost eh?" Siv says

Nod!

"And I've gotta get back to the Lodge, anyway. Thanks for the ice tea, Dagmar. And...thanks for saving my butt yesterday. I had a blast, really." She smiles. "Worth the punishment, really, but don't tell my folks I said so. See you guys later!"

"Seeya."

"Later, Sylvi. I'll be following shortly" Siv waves

And Sylvi is gone.

"I have to finish my math homework."

"Okay, and... " Siv gives her superstrong cousin a one armed hug "I wanted to say thanks for looking after sylvi, and me too really"

And she parts "See you. Good luck on the math"

She allows the hug, and returns a small smile. "Kay. See you at school."

"See ya" And out she goes

Siv isa bit worried for both Dagmar and Sylvi, for different reasons, but overall, I'm lucky to have em

And Dagmar gets some space, a deep breath.. oh, and math.

ugh
