Tove returns with food, "Okay..here"

"So once he's better, we can take him to his owners..."

"Yes, and that won't take long. We may have to lie and say he missed the barbs if we tell about the pit at all"

"You lie. Gives me a headache."

"huh?" Lupita says

"Long story" Tove says and feeds Theo, "Oak, keep Browndog from stealing food."

Oak sighs but obeys.

"Magic stuff, yeah."

Theo soon eats, then needs to sit down again He's still very weak

Gerd wakes up 'What'd I miss?"/ It's Siv who answers having returned "A dog is being rescued. "

Dag lurks protectively.

"Cool" Gerd yawns and looks at Theo, "poor guy."

"yeah," Siv says "He's got owners, or we'd end up with a nother dog I think."

"I think betwee nthe two houses we have enough" Tove says with a chuckle

"Two Bit wouldn't want another terrier. And his folks miss him, I'm sure..."

"Twobit is very pushy." She agrees

Siv bounces is dressed suitably again, shirt and shorts rather than the bikini

"She doesn't like sharing, neither. Nope. Theo has to go home."

Gerd says "Got Edie"

SHowing HER favoritism

"Mackerel converted me to cats" Siv admits

"So, owners are probably mortals. They don't need to know that he was hurt, just that he was stuck in a hole..."

"Sounds good" Tove agrees

"Well, I've texted mom, letting her know we could use a healer for a hurt dog but some of the healing has begun, and that there's news we want to share" Siv explains

"I got pics of the trap. Once he's home, we should look for others."

"Hey, remember Grasp? He had traps... " Siv recalls

"Yeah, I know."

"My people would find out whoever did this and put them down in their own face first" Lupita grumbles

"Don't give me mum ideas" Siv asks

"Well... won't say we wouldn't."

Much fuss is made over Theo, but the little dog, feeling safe, and now full, falls asleep again

"so I'm going to forget about half of this" Lupita says "or more?"

Dag nods. "Probably. But you get to brag to your werewolf friends about knowing some Giants."

"Tell'm I'm taller than you! You know, in ANGRY mode."

"HEy, not so sure you..maybe.. " Not sure.

"Please do not wolf out in here," Tove says "You'll drive the dogs to a fuss"

"Okay, sorry, Mrs. King" APologetic garou

"Yeah, save it for battle!"

"Hey, Tove, can werewolves go to the Dreaming"

"One hears rumors that a few find their way back home" Tove says

"Think how badass it'd be, fighting side by side?"

"Ha. We can head to the spirit world... only we call it the Umbra. Bet your Dreaming is in it somewhere"

"Adventure!"

"Before you two go off... " Tove says "Id ask that you remember to let us know mm? I'm going to be worried anyway but douibly so if I don't know you meant to adventure"

"Yes, mommmmmm"

"Now, while we wait for t he Chieftain or some other healer to show, any of you hungry? I'm sure Kerri won't mind if I cook something"

"Starved!"

"Dad... better see if May is ah done... we may need to behave ourselves when she comes in here unenchanted" Tove says as she moves to the kitchen

"We can totally act normal."

"Well... maybe not Siv..."
