"Snow! Is that how we ask?"

"PLEASE" The MOnkey says, all teeth

Sylvi checks her phone. "Ohhhh, crap. Guys, I gotta bail on you. Stuff just blew up at home. The hand got loose." She lets herself out of the car and starts for the shortcut at a jog. "Good to meet you, Adam, we'll talk soon, see ya, Dagmar!"

"Bye, Sylvi!" Snow says "Bring fruit next time... iif you want" She adds wit ha wave

Adam is staring at Snow.

She laughs, "'Kay, Snow! Bye!" and she's gone.

"Ohhh, yeah. Better get it. That thing is creepy."

"I think we have pears inside, Snow. C'mon, Adam..." Dag stands, and offers a shoulder for the monkey to perch on.

He -does- watch Sylvi go out of the corner of his eye.

Snow leaps to the shoulder "Hello, Adam. I am snow! "

"Or Adam's, okay."

Adam looks at Snow in amazement. "You talk."

"Yes!" snow sayss happily "I know many words for many fruits, but I talk about other things. You are shining nicely today. "

"Yeah, well. Thanks."

"You are welcome." It is at this point that dagmar might realize that the oath is not triggered by Chimera

"Snow's a chimera - like the Crab, but friendlier. You give her fruit, you're a friend for life." She leads him to the kitchen door and inside. "TOVE! DAD! I"M HOME!"

Jaymes and Tove appear to be BOTH home. Whatever they were talking about stops as Dagmar comes in with an enchanted

"Okay, you've met Dad, so that should be fine, but you can't actually talk to Tove yet but we totally have a plan for that part of the Oath..."

She snags a pear from the hanging basket over the sink and lobs it at Adam. "Think fast."

Snow looks ready to leap after it

Adam catches it, and offers it to Snow.

THEN he looks at Mr..... King..... Oh.

"Dad, you remember Adam? From the store?"

Snow grabs it "Thank you"

Jaymes grunts "Hello again, Adam"

While Sam is "huge," she has nothing on a troll grump - Jaymes is quite rightfully called a giant.

"Hello. Sir."

He doesn't seem frightened as much as properly awed.

"I'm Tove." Tove smiles, "Dagmar's mom. LOvely to meet you"

"Oh" TOve says "Here.." She shows her phone "I got permission and so do you"

"Sylvi and I are working on a whole list so she can approve most of the lodge at once."

"We get through that, things'll get easier..."

He seems unsure about whether or not to look at the phone, and looks at Sam instead.

"I think eventually she'll regret being on call for this," Tove says

A knock at the door, softer than most trollish fists.

Jaymes says "Come in, Symon"

Adam's eyes flash a question at Sam.

The door opens and he peeks in, and nods to Jaymes first. "Mr. King." Then he jerks his chin much less formally to the kids, moving over. "Sup? They running you through the rounds already?" To Adam, and to Dagmar, "Dags, I swear, this math camp is going to KILL me. Sorry to flake on our caving plans. We still can do that, and it might be less humid come fall..."

Adam's eyes go BIG again as he stares at Symon.

"Oh you two have met?" Tove says of Symon and Adam

"Adam, you should be fine."

"You'll feel it, right?"

"Symon, you've met Adam?"

"Wy... wy... wy...."

"He's a sluagh" Jaymes grunts

"If you met Sy before the oath, it should totally be good. Shit, the sooner we get that list approved..."

"SO much easier. Less stressful."

He regards Adam, silently meeting his gaze and shrugs in response to Dagmar. The scrawny boy now borders on skeletal, and his eyes are sunken and black. grey lips extend in a grimace like a frog's mouth, too wide across pale mottled skin, and purplish gums peek from within. His hair is lank and greasy, and almost seems to move on it's own, shadowing his features a bit as he leans to let it fall forward, blissfully covering up his face a bit.

Short, curly auburn-brown hair covered in a ball cap and an angular, fine-featured face shrouded by sunglasses. Tall, caucasian. Tee-shirt and shorts.

He looks at Sam. "Is it the water?!!?!"
