"Kerri is. Heck, Gerd has mastered Wayfare."

"Me, I can do a little bit of weather stuff and sometimes whisper."

"Extraordinary" Jonas says as the burns on him go from dangerous to something minor

Siv leans over and looks over Jonas chest with concern, "Looks like she got the worst of it, looking good again."

Jonas covers his chest, "Ahem. "

"Oh don't be such a puritanical pain in the keester" Siv says.

"You could both use some time by the balefire, but first get out of that armor. Wash up, but be gentle on those spots."

"If I practice, I'll be able to heal, too, but that'll take years."

Kerri does try to hide a bit of a grin at Siv and Jonas.

"Thanks, Aunt Kerri, I'd hug you but still a bit tender" She puts a hand on the woman's shoulder though then looks to Jonas, "You shower first."

"Praytell is there a point to your decree?" Jonas says

"Partially as you are still new to Rivervale and I can use it any time, but also?" Her nose wrinkles, "you stink worse than I do."

Kerri raises a hand. "I don't want to hear it. Siv got healed first, Jonas showers first, Go."

"Your olfactory biases are born of..." But then the Hearth speaks and he immediately complies, "Yes, Hearth. " And he rises to just do it.

Jonas departs, and Siv mutters under her breath "yeah you better run" as he does.

"Siiivvv. Quit it."

Kerri gives Siv a very pointed, very amused look.

Siv blushes "Quit what?"

Adam has a thought but keeps it to himself.

Eye-roll.

A glance to Dagmar, then Kerri rolls her eyes conspiratorially.

"Siv, go take those things off. That armor is...absurd."

"I was thinking I rocked it actually, but fine" she says and then "Oh wait.. one thing , sec. " She reaches into a pocket and pulls something out and hands it to Dagmar "Here you go."

Eyebrow?

It's a picture of Tom Hiddleston in Loki Garb, and on other side, in pennmanship are words "To my most amazing enemy, Samantha King! You will rue the day! - Hugs and kisses Tom Hiddleston"

"Oh, dude.."

She shows it to Adam!

And Kerri!

Kerri gets a glimpse of it, and smiles at Siv. "Very thoughtful."

"Yeah, he laughed when I told him what I wanted him to write and just went iwth it. Nice guy. I gotta go change"

And even she gets captured by that wonderful smile for a moment.

"Hm? Yes. When you're clean, come down for food."

"That's really cool, Sam." With a fond grin.

"It is! Wow."

Kerri sighs and shakes her head with amusement as Siv vanishes upstairs. "Well...do you two need anything?"

"I don't think so... Adam?"

"No ma'am. Thank you."

"That was.... That was really neat to see." He offers. "The magic."

"It's always cool." Agrees. "Someday I'll get there..."

"Well, I'm glad I was able to do it. It used to be that if somebody was badly hurt, we bandaged them up and plopped them in front of the balefire until the Chieftain got back."

"You're working on primal arts, Dagmar?"

She nods. "I can whisper. Sometimes."

Kerri nods. "A good place to start. Adam, are you interested in learning some of the Arts?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"I bet you'd do good at it. Your blood has to be strong, right?"

"I guess. I can figure out how glamour or magic works yet so."

"Hmm...." She considers the boy. "Adam, what's something you've always dreamed of doing, but seemed impractical? I know it's a personal question, but it's one way to start learning where your skills might lie."

"Yeeaahhhh... "

"Vali or Frank probably could explain it better. I'm still not really sure how... I mean, it's magic..."

Adam flushes. "When I was a kid, I wanted.... I wanted to be an adventurer. Like, I knight or an explorer. Ran all over the place with a stick, like a sword or machetti."
