She blinks at that. "I -do- like kids, but I wasn't going to run off with him in a sack, if that's what you mean..."

"Long story short, his bio-dad sucks."

"Connor's a sweetie" Siv says "And we're very protective of him, " A look "I Missed the visit of the bio dad though"

"As you like" Jonas says "I'm heading there now. So I guess this is my valediction. Good eve, ladies."

"Well, if he's as much of a turd as Dagmar thinks, maybe you didn't miss much? Oh, wait, no.. I'll come along."

She stands up and grins to Jonas. "If you don't mind the company?"

Jonas nods and waits for her "Certainly"

"Well, pleasure to see you again Dagmar, Hearth Kerri, nice to meet you Siv, I'll see you around."

"Nice seeing you, Piper. Have a good night!"

"Anytime , Piper!" Siv waves

Jonas escorts her ... so she'll at least know the location

Siv turns around then says to Dagmar "Jonas, hes' WEIRD right?"

"Well, formal. And nervous."

"I guess... he didn't seem nervous to me, annoyingly competent." She says "Didn't even need rescuing..not really" Mutter grumble

Eyebrow. "You didn't think he seemed nervous?"

"Well he didn't when he kept me from dro.. I mean, not when I first met him anyway"

"Well, that wasn't here."

"I think you forget how intimidating this place is when you're an outsider."

She looks around, "Maybe" She hadn't seen it as anything but home, then "Wait, you were intimidated?"

"Well, yeah."

"Mmm you hid it well under a lot of distrustful glares"

"True that."

"I guess to me this was... just a move. I mean, mom and dad were here so I knew I'd be okay. They'd told me storeis on how wonderful it was. Oh mom's eyes would light up when she talked about the forest"

"Well, sure. You belonged your whole life."

"I did" She admits

"But when you aren't on the inside..." She shrugs.

"Yeah. I guess it would be intimidating"

She says

With a look of deep thought "mm.. well. damn it. Now I feel bad for Jonas"

"You can be a pretty harsh judge, sometimes."

"Bam, snap. Mind made up."

Siv winces "I thought I was getting better"

"Well, give Jonas a chance - yeah?"

"Fine I just... I think my ego got crushed by this one is all..." She's blushing

"What?"

"Why?"

“Cause he saw her moomoo’s”. A sleepy voice remarks, on his way from the kitchen, a sandwich in hand, leaking peanut butter.

"Hey Connor."

"Well" She lowers her voice "I went to rescue him right? Into a part of the near dreaming ..arctic waters is where I found the whale. Only..." A BLUSH deeper

"Yeah..."

Siv says "And I won't go into details in front of the L-I-T-T-L-E B-O-Y"

“You maybe didn’t see me with a Saaaammmiche...”

“I’m not a litter box! Whuff. Rude!”

"Connor, we do not blackmail family." She sighs

"Oooo-kay then..."

He sighs. “I can eat on the porch and then go right back to bed? The moon is my nIghtlight.”

"You can't sleep?" Siv states what might be the obvious.

“My tumbly was a’rumbly.”

“...and I wanted to hear the story.” He admits.

"How bad can it be?"
