She takes the coat, giving a little interesting twitch so that it pops down over her tail, and closes the door behind them.

The Pup is Sound Asleep.

On the other side of the door, she gives Siv and Jonas a flapping , Shoo Shoo, wave of her hand. "You two have things to Discuss. I could feel it in the air tonight." And she taps the drum riff on the bannister of the porch (da-dum-dum-dum-dumdumDUMDUMDUM).

Siv blushes "PIPER..i.. ack."

Jonas looks confused "You didn't call me?"

Brekke looks to the 'Fire a long moment, and then back down to Frank. "My Heart, are you well?"

"Oh, I must have been mistaken. Adam, you parked over there, didn't you?"

"Yeah, yeah, come on....." Adam ushers her to the car.

Inside..... "No." His voice is a low growl.

"Tell me."

((Sorry Rae, that "Inside" was Frank))

Siv and jonas go for a walk... and they may notice Jonas taking off his coat and wrapping it around her. She eturns this by snuggling against him to share warmth.

(Ha! Okay, one moment.

In response, Frank just raises his hand above him and rests his it on the silver lump at the end of her arm.

Reaching the car, she pushes Adam up against the side of it and leans in, her breath hot against his cheek...

Adam kisses her soundly.

"Mmmm...." She purrs and presses against him deepening the kiss, the chainmail clinking lightly and sliding across the fabric of his shirt, as her hands, cold from the weather, sneak under and press against the warmth of his chest.

Brekke wants very much to take his hand, to hold it, and the misshapen lump is...oh, it is ugly. "I am sorry, My Heart." A beat. "It does not hurt," she adds.

Adam's hands roam under his coat against her skin and the cold of the metal. "Want to get in the car?" He offers in a mumble against her lips.

Nab sighs happily and she watches the show from the carhood

"Good." Frank responds. "I want to find the dragon, resurrect him, and kill him again."

And Siv and Jonas have gone off.. to ah, talk.

"Mmm, oh, you know I do... And the things I would DO.... but...." She rubs against him as she shivers from his touch. "But so much of this is borrowed lust, and... I don't think I could stop what I know I'd want to start..."

"I am glad you cannot do that." Brekke sips her coffee.

"I want to, Piper.... really." Adam shivers a bit too.

Frank grunts in response.

A sympathetic sound in reply. And she sighs and rests her head back against her chair, eyes watching the flames. "I understand better what it was like for you, when your hands...." she trails off. A pause. "I will need your help often. Until I learn how."

Frank would do violence if not for the puppy in his lap.

"Of course." The troll manages to grind out.

"Lets... just... enjoy this.. for now. The glamour wave... it came, and when it fades... it might draw this away. If we go further... " She shivers, and this is tough for her. "I want it to be because we know WE wanted to.... Mmmm...." She presses herself further into the kiss - even if they don't go much further, this is very, very nice.

A leg twitches... on the puppy, of course.

A butterfly watches.

NAB 's EYES are HUGE

Adam traces the lines of the bikini while continuing the kiss. "Okay, okay....." he murmurs into the kiss.

"Frank...it is done. He is dead. He will not come back. And we are together. It is done."

The troll seethes.

"My Heart, please. I need you here. Not angry." She is clearly tired.

And.... (condensed for favor of Shady getting some sleep)... even the cold air around them seems several degrees warmer as the two have a Truly Epic makeout session... before finally she breaks off to catch her breath, and declare, "I'm going to need ANOTHER cold shower. Ha. About that ride.... home...?" Her mouth, swollen from his kisses, bent in a grin - as she knows she took it juuust to the edge of no return before calling a halt.

Adam groans. "Sure... but, Piper, any time you want to do this again? Or.... you know, more? I'm down."

Frank takes a deep breath and tries to exhale the tension out, with limited success. "Sorry."

Nab sighs and glares at the butterfly

"Just...be here." Brekke's eyes slip closed. Yes, it seems she's likely to spend the night in her chair before the balefire.

As she rests, Brekke feels Frank's hand cover and squeeze her foot.

She traces her lips along one of the marks at his collarbone that will likely show up tomorrow - and grins up at him. "You betcha."

Adam gives her a cocky grin. "Hell yeah." He push-buttons the car unlocked and gets the door for her.

She swings around and climbs in, and behaves for the car ride... mostly. Not distracting enough to be a danger, but she DOES steal a kiss or a squeeze of the thigh at red lights...

..... and she gets kissed right back.

And it -might- be that it takes Piper a bit to get out of the car when they reach the Wayburtons.....

Before the balefire, the Chieftain sleeps, content that her home and people are safe.

Frank keeps a vigil. And a puppy.

She is willing to take all the time it needs to get out of the car.. safety first... and then a forlorn wave, watching the car drive away. A long sigh. "Damn." But, not entirely disappointed, she is still smiling, and hums to herself as she heads inside.
