A nod.

The painting appears to be of Dagmar? Before tthe lodge.

"Go ahead, shake it" She smiles "Like it had sand inside"

Eyebrow. Shake.

Now she's in front of HER house...

"WHerever you've had a happy memory, it shows you at that location whenver you shake it"

"Would that be .. the wonder he's looking for? " She offers

"Maybe?"

"Well, if he doesn't want it, why don't you keep it. Siv tells me you deserve it anyway"

"...why?"

"SOmething about you alerting Puff to a mortal girl? That's... look, as a mortal soul myself, that's big news"

She blushes.

"Well.. I mean... she needed a friend like that. And Puff needs kids, right? Win win."

"Yes, but not everyone bothers to think of others and how to make a win win like that. Good work." A smile then "I know ..given what little I know of your past, you may not have many places you think of as 'happy' so it may not work as well for you"

"Well, look..." Shake shake - lodge. Shake shake, Barn.

Shake shake - the woods between the barn and the lodge.

"Oh look, there's Stormwake" At one moment when it catches that location

"Oh, yeah!" A grin.

"You know, I think I'll ask Earl if he can paint that horse for you" She ponders

Blush!

"That's nice, but, I mean, Stormwake is Chief's."

"True, but I doubt she'd mind you having a painting of him. Or maybe I'll just bully Earl into trying to get a paintign with all your critters."

"Of course, odin might think no painting could do him justice"

"none can!"

"his is a regal demeanor" she observes straight faced.

Dirk comes out "Those were good."

"Dirk, would you like to talk about what a pretty cat odin is?" Sally mae asks him catching him off guard.

"Bah, Scrot's cooler" He insists

"Peach ain't bad."

"Not bad? she's like super cool...she can like climb to the top of the book cases and then drop a book on Symon's head..and not even on purpose. On Purpose is Lovecraft"

"Yeah?"

"Totally... like one jump it's like she had a cantrip"

"Odin doesn't do that." She concedes.

"See... Scrot's got a gift for accidental mayhem"

He sounds proud.

"Sounds it."

"Yeah. Odin's okay I guess. He's got that nick fury of cats thing"

"He does." Satisfied.

"Now I'm going to imagine him with Samuel L Jacksons' voice" a mmph from Sally Mae

"Oh that would be cool if Odin would say he wanted these mice off his mother fu..." Dirk starts to say.

"DIRK!" Sally Mae says.

Dirk sighs.

Dagmar snickers.

"Well. I'm gonna see you guys around later. " Dirk says "I just remembered I wanna make sure Scrot has her food." He waves, seemingly to have forgotten the talk about Adam.

A wave. "Seeya."

And dirk goes offf.

"I think that cat's been good for him," Sally Mae says.

"Agreed."

"I won't say nothin to him if you won't"

"Let's not jinx it for peach" A nod then "About Adam, might I suggest you talk to the chief about this? Or I can if you prefer? It's not telling if he's really having trouble with wild chimera."
