"Yeah? I, uh, didn't think.... well, you know, I'm glad everyone got back ok, and all."

She is warm, and you'd think that the chainmail would be cold, or pinch, but that seems to be part of the allure of it, it is nicely warmed to body temp and the metal smooth and lightly clinking as she presses against him...

"Oh, me too." She holds the hug a little longer, then releases with a little reluctance to smile over to Siv. "Everyone came home okay? Oh, excuse me. Hearth, Mountain," And gives a quick curt- no, doesn't work in a bikini - Bow! To them.

Siv looks to Jessica, "You realie mom and dad will TOTALLY expect you for thanks giving"

Emmit smiles

"Sure." Thanksgiving and Independence day are her usual visits.

"Young lady... heard you'd help out on the farm."

Her cheeks turn BRIGHT PINK. "Oh, yes.. glad to help, no need to mention it..."

"Ok, I'm going home. I'll be back, though." She heads towards the new trod.

Adam seems lightly dazzled by Piper.

To the Mountain - "It was really Zane's work, most of all... I was just the catalyst."

... or maybe he's just fascinated by the bikini.....

"Mm get the feeling I'm behind on news "Emmit says

Siv walks her sister to the door with Coy

"Ah, well... there was a bit of a... kerfuffle. Some nasty folk showed up... armed for bear, if you wanted to take the bear to a circus with you." Meanwhile she has leaned back a bit against Adam, letting one of her arms wrap around him, seemingly unconsciously. "I don't know why anyone would want to kidnap a Troll - you'd have HOLY HELL to pay once they WOKE UP... but they had SOMETHING nasty in mind, I tell you what."

One of the mortal's arms goes around Piper's bare waist, and he looks like he's won a lottery.

"I better go home" Emmit says alarmed

"Young lady" Emmit says to piper "Sounds like you were GREAT help. I'll find a way to repay you and zane, or at least wise the family will"

"Just glad that everyone is safe. Lady Clementine was a real peach as well, she had everything well at hand, though they were waiting for things to cool off a bit before they tussed the invaders up, lest they get drawn into the fray..." Her cheeks pink again and her voice gets a bit breathy, before she pushes THAT memory back a bit.

"Uh huh..." The big man grabs a rocking chair "Sylvi, much obliged! Hearth Kerri... we'll be light ing that work load"

A pause, tilting her head and grinning. "Fruit pun NOT intended there, honest. Sir Vali would think I'm trying to steal his thunder."

Siv returns after dropping her sister off to the door and giving one last hug, but she has been listening.

"So...you saved the farm somehow, with Zane's help? is that why he's empty despite a trip to the dreaming?"

"I... I woul;dn't say SAVED the FARM, that sounds like a hero's quest. I just helped to slow up the invaders along the way. Otherwise Lady- er, Chieftess? Chief Clem, she would have surely have taught them a thing-or-two. Maybe in a more elegant fashion." Though she can't help a snicker in remembering, a hand to cover it a bit.

"Chief Clem, though Chieftess could be cool.. not lady. DeBukes aren't big on noble titles " Sive says

And Emmit has slipped out

She seems to be nuzzling one of Adam's ears now, but glances back up to Siv as she speaks. "Hmm? Oh yes. Chief or Chieftess. The farm was really nice, I'll have to go back... the fellows there are all so polite, and this one lad promised me a tour..."

Definitely won a lottery. A BIG ONE.

"I'll bet," Siv nods and wonders if this is what it was like for Sylvi when she first came in

A yawn that she tries to stifle. "But Zane is going to be okay, right? Just zonked out for a bit? I know Auntie M was worried, for all she plays cool as a cucumber..."

"We'll not sure...something about a ritual and magic catching up with him?" Siv says

"Yeah.... he put a lot of juice into his working. I've GOT to have him tell me what he did... it was - incredible. Those people just - and with my cantrip to give them a little push..." She swallows, but then is distracted by the butterfly flittering above her head suddenly. "Jiminee, not now..." Blinking, and trying to look away from the light flashing off it's irridescent wings.

the flutter quiets

"Push into what?" Siv blinks

"...norgy..." She mutters, with a cough.

"Nor.." realization "Nor-gee.. oH.. oh a..." Siv blushes "Zane's magic was.. ah.." a glance back , "he had magic that caused that?"

"Nor....?" Adam has been listening attentively, and now grins BROADLY.

She grins through the slight blush. "You shoulda SEEN the looks on some of those farmlads faces as they made sense of what was going on... A sidhe lord in charge, and a pooka lieutenant, and then their goons too - all in one big sweaty heap in the cornfield..."

A happy little mmmm sound. This one from Nabuni

"I wonder how Jonas is doing? " Siv says

Adam doesn't seem to know what to do with himself.

Somehow Piper is on his lap now, leisurely slung across with an arm around his neck. It's crazy how they can do that without one noticing, hm?

And somehow, both his arms are around her waist.

"If they hadn't been planning something nasty, I might feel bad for making them... ahh... but I don't." A firm nod. "They wanted to take advantage of the folk at the farm, so they get what they get, and probably a LOT more fun than what the Farmhold woulda done to stop them, or what they plan to do with them now."

"Oh, no denying" Siv ssays "Good on you" Refocusing

"Must have been something to see. I mean, I totally get how -you- could start something like that....."

Siv rolls her eyes at Adam but has to admit the boy can be smooth enough "Oh you two want drinks?"

"Mmm, flatterer... oh, sure, something fizzy and cold would be great...."

"Sure, thanks......"

Siv nods "Welcome" And goes to get herself something cold while at it.

She whispers into Adam's ears. "Oh, I could show you things. Some of the arts I know, they can make someone... want something.. crave it..." A hand against his back, lightly tracing. "Friends of mine, back when.... they could consume someone's thoughts, almost with a single song, make them yearn for more..."
