Brekke chuckles briefly and sips her coffee. "A handy skill."

"I love that musical!" Ramona says "I Know it's old ...but the 80s movie was one of my mom's favorites and she got me hooked"

Then she says "But other than that, I'm not sure it's all a whirl," To the Chief "the knowldge isn't sticking like the images... the images are light but I can kind of grab them... the skills are more like..grabbing water."

"Wait. Might pop back when you need it."

A nod. "You will need to rebuild skills. Or perhaps learn new ones entirely. But sometimes a tendency to certain skills persists. You will learn, but it takes time. After a year, you will no longer need a mentor. You will have your saining, when you will remember more of yourself. That 'grabbing water' feeling will subside then."

"yeah?" A Look to Dagmar, "That would be... not sure when I'll NEED to make Gin."

"Oh, you'd be surprised" Zane says

Ramona looks over to the Chief, "Okay. But you don't know who my mentor is?"

Brekke looks to the two wilders in the room. "I might have a few thoughts. But I suppose it would be best to have you mentored by one of your own kith. Another Boggan."

"Dagmar, Zane, do either of you know how to get in touch with Lucia?"

"I can text her."

Zane nods "Probably best. Girls always suspect I have ulterior motives."

An eyebrow at the satyr. A bemused eyebrow.

"It's not my ONLY motives" Truth.. a kind of lame truth but a truth

The boggan's turn to laugh

Dagmar's text gets through, and Lucia is happy to help

Frank leads Wynette in from outside.

It's at that point when Wynette enters.. and the Chief sees that a grump is going to require a different touch. "Hi, are you the manager?"

"Lucia'll help!"

"She's a boggan like you, and has more boggans in the family. We aren't all blue giants and Zane."

Zane's jaw drops as if someone just called God "Big Mistah G'

Frank clears his throat. "Chieftess, this is Wynette Washington."

As introductions among the grumps are made, the Chieftess and Knight and new Piskie go to a private area to talk.

Leaving Dagmar to talk to Ramona. And Zane

"So, she was a piskie?" Ramona says "And Lucia is like me?" To Dagmar, "Great... uhm.. are boggans all uhm.." She looks at her self "Heavy?"

Bow furrow. "Um. Roundish? Like hobbits."

"Trolls usually ain't skinny, neither."

"You are CUT. " She admits, "It's like reallly imrpessive. I"m... uhm.. roundish you say?"

"THICC if you prefer," Zane offers.

"Plump?" Trying to help.

She winces at plump "You know what, let's go back to Roundish"

"So what do boggans uhm DO? I mean.. we're fairy tales come real? Are we like, granting wishes?"

"Oh... sorry."

"Boggans... oh, they're like Kerri." She nods, this is obviously high praise.

"They make stuff happen - like, see what needs done, and then fix it. They make things, too, like food or clothing or furniture..."

"Lucia likes to say she's not like other boggans, but I don't know many boggans... but she still is really good at figuring out how to help?"

"They're kind of like the cobbler's elves" Zane says

"Oh! I like home ec. I wonder if that's why?" She says "So we are kind of like fairy god mothers, without the wishes? We..help folks when they're not looking?"

She nods.

"Well, maybe wishes when you get your magic."

"But it's not like the old days where we worked wonders that could affect whole cities," Zane says "But we can do cool stuff. Dagmar is getting good at the Winter Ice stuff and some weather stuff"

"You can control the weather?" Intrigued is the boggan.

She wavers her hand. "I can call thunderclaps. My dad can do more impressive stuff."

"Still neat. I used to do a song to make it rain.. one about appleseeds." She sighs wistful

there's a knock on the door

Zane sniffs, "I smell pizza? She brought pizza? "

"Boggans." A shrug and she gpoes to get the door

Lucita comes in with yes, a pizza, "Hey. Brought your favorite type. What's this about a new girl?"

"Hey Lucia. This is Ramona. Zane found her."

"...She's new."
