"Where are you going? Why?"

"Right..sorry.." Gerd says. "I guess I'll just... be in the way there."

Siv looks up at Dagmar, "Mm? The Sea, Dagmar...if new sea trods are nearby I need to explore some...see where they go. Oh.. did you know ? did you hear? We have a direct trod by door to Fenix!"

Sigh. "Gerd, go see Vali."

"In the way?" Kerri looks curious. "Why would you think that?"

"Okay, so new trods - so you WANT to go, but you don't have to go?"

She nods agreement with Dagmar. "He'll want to see you, Gerd."

"He's got kids and... well, that new Nocker girl..." Gerd blushes

Siv looks at Dagmar, "Nope. Don't HAVE to.. I guess. Just really... wow. Jazzed."

"But you could wait for a long weekend or fall break and have company..."

"I thought we talked about that?"

The last to Gerd

"Oh! You wanna come? Of course, yeah sorryy sorry.." Siv bounces "Sure, happy to have you"

Gerd winces "We ..did." Begrudging admission

"So - can't know unless you go."

"Fine." Gerd says "I best go get warmer clothes." And she goes to her big room to change.

Colton comes down, he had a cahnge of clothes? looks like, he moves near Sylvi and says "hey." Taking her hand

Dirk comes in... and looks for Kerri. "How'd it go?"

Sylvi smiles and squeezes Colton's hand. "Hey, back."

Kerri gives Dirk a look. "You've got to stop eating Mrs. McGillicuddy's mailboxes. It costs us to replace them. Besides, you just ate a mountain of pumpkin pie!"

"Uh.. it was part of the test..yeah.. you know.. to see if like... uhm... it worked"

But he looks suitably chastised

She doesn't look terribly upset. "You're coming with me in the morning to pick out a new one."

"Hey, I know I brought back a mirror, and Dirk has a cauldron. What else did people bring with them? I kind of feel like we got stuff that wasn't for us."

The last from Sylvi, of course.

Brow-furrow. "A saddle. So that might be for Chief."

A curious look from Sylvi. "Why not for you?"

Gerd comes down drressed warmly "Got a skull I can order ghosts around or something. See you"

Colton says "What's wrong with you having a mirror?"

Kerri startles at Gerd. "You can what?!"

Sylvi blinks at Colton. "Did you say that already? I'm having weird deja vu."

"Gotta go, " Gerd grins and slips out

Colton's brow furrows, "I think maybe..yeah.. but I don't remember the answer. "

Siv sayys 'Oh she totally used going to Vali as an excuse to dodge that" YUP, Wired and stating the obvious

"...I don't have a horse?"

Kerri sighs. She's glad they're all safe and sound, but these wilders are a handful.

"Oh, there's an acorn for the Chief I think" Colton says

"So? You don't have a horse now. Doesn't mean you won't. I mean, you're the jouster, right?" Sylvi points out reasonably.

"Oh, yeah! I remember that. And I think...that rocking chair is for Mountain Emmit. Huh. I hope he doesn't get offended by that, say we're calling him 'old' or something."

Siv says "He's used a rocking chair before. I've seen it"

"Symon...?" She looks for the sluagh, but he seems to have hidden someplace to examine his own prize.

"Um. Maybe."

"So that leaves, what? A sword and an anvil. Wow. They're both cool, but I don't remember which one is yours, Colton."

"I.. don't remember.. the anvil or the sword.. no I came in with the anvil..but maybye that was because it was heavy"

That from Colton

"hmm darn if I used a twohanded sword that would be the one" He says "But argh."

"Why 'argh'? I bet you'd kick butt with that sword. It must be yours."

Symon peers up from a corner. He apparently went to clean up, but came back quietly. “I’m glad I don’t think you’ll have any call to make sluagh food en mass in that thing. Handy ability though.” Politely admiring.

"Well, is the Anvil for the Arthek guy then?" Colton says "Pardon ,Hearth Arthek"

“Colton should choose what he wants- the other thing left should go to the unseelie Hearth. But... choose one sword, or the potential ability to make many? ...given to one who is an ally now... but who knows the future...”
