Kerri grins slightly. "It's hard work. Dangerous. And I don't think I've ever seen a childling Rover. You'd have to ask Olgar if he knows of any."

“What if there is a tiny trod? Or it goes through a log or up a tree? You have to resume Everyone even if you can’t fit through the door.”

"These are excellent questions." She nods seriously.

"you are being truculent!" Jonas says.

His voice on the other side of the door

"Will you calm your tits? It was endearing at first, but now you're getting annoying" Siv opens the door

"It's been an hour and you have yet to seek a healer... if my verbosity has driven you to seek salve and balm, well, GOOD." Jonas says as they come in arguing.

And Siv realizes she just said 'calm your tits' where a childling could hear it. "I..oops"

Kerri doesn't scold except for a pointed look. "What's this about a healer?" She stands and goes to look Siv over.

Siv has shallow lacerations, which isn't so bad, except she has like seven of them. It looks like she was hit by razor wire.

She also has three good abraisions, that might be worse.

If she weren't a troll she'd be crawling instead of the bit of the hobble she's doing

"Sit down near the balefire. I'll be right back." She goes into the kitchen to fetch a basin of water, clean cloths, and bandages.

Jonas gives Siv a LOOK.

"I'm doing it because the HEARTH said to, not you" Siv says "I'm a grown woman" And she flumps down near the balefire in a manner that might challenge the point she just made.

JOnas says "Salutations, Connor" A nod

But hsi eyes linger on Siv

Kerri comes back out, murmuring something quiet and lyrical over the water in the bowl before she takes a seat near Siv. "Jonas, hold this, please," she says, handing him the bowl. She dips the cloth in the water, and then gently starts dabbing at Siv's cuts. The water takes away the stain of blood...the glamour starts the healing. "Tell me about it?" she requests as she works.

Jonas takes the bowl, "Certainly Hearth. And thank you."

Siv doesn't wince, not with HIM there, though Kerri can tell she's tempted to. She answers "There was was a fight... the darkness came out..tentacles with tiny blades along the edges swoooping for the boy... I'd kidnapped him with Vali's help, brought him to the Thomas' house... the gate opened.. the name used.. and...the soul flew into him then that wound in the Dreaming itself. Olgar couldn't stay, he had to accompany the mortal soul... plunged right into the dreaming with him... "

Kerri frowns slightly, her jaw tensing, but then only nods as she continues working. "Nadeen's father is secure in the boy's body?"

"At Caer Falken" A soft hiss at something as a particularly touchy wound , an abrasion, proves to be a bit deeper, "Don't worry, Hearth. Your husband was amazing. Though truth, we all were. I dived and dodged a dozen tentacles when the abomination came out... a patch work.. monstrosity of kithain souls never meant to be stitched... Dagmar went toe to toe ..she was a force! Vali tried to close the wound... his winter magics stopped it from spreading, but twas your daughter who well, healed the wound! And Nadeen may have felt helpless, but what she did to that balor lord on the other side... poetic I think"

Any "I told you so' Jonas might have had about Siv's wound vanishes on his lips as she hisses however briefly in pain.

She re-wets the cloth, another careful touch at that sensitive spot, more quiet murmurs of cantrip work. After a few moments, "I think maybe the specifics about the Balor aren't for young ears..." a slight nod towards Connor "...but you should tell your father so he can record them. Jonas, would you set that down and get Siv a soda, please?"

"Yes, Hearth" A look at Siv "Thank you for tending to her."

"She's not tending to me for your sake," Siv says, "Let me do my own thanking.. and my favorite soda is..."

A brief lift of brows at Jonas, bemused.

"I know your favorite" He says and walks off to do so.

"he does?" She blinks actually surprised

When he's gone, Kerri quietly asks, "Is there damage I can't see while you're dressed?"

"Of course he does."

“Are her tits calm now?” He asks Kerri, all innocence.

A sheepish look, then ""Nay. I lucked out there, thanks for asking. As you saw, my left leg took the worst of.." BLUSH

"Siv, you are many things, but you are not that dense."

Then a grin at Connor, and she asks Siv, "Well, are they?"

Blazing purple "Yes.. and I need to put something in the swear jar, don't I?"

"We'll let it pass this time. And Connor, that's not a polite word to use, unless talking about the titmouse bird." She's gone back to finishing up the healing touches.

And coming out with a cold drink with a touch of ice, "Your beverage," he sets it down in her hand. By the coloration and way it bubbles, Kerri can tell it's a 'suicide mix' probably in the perfect amounts. She might fuss about using two sodas to make one, but then he's clearly getting Siv her favorite

The excess is permitted this time without comment, and she finishes up her healing. "That should help. Those razor cuts were deeper than they looked. Be alert to any new pains starting, and let me know. With wounds that finely cut, it's easy to miss some, but hopefully the cantrip caught them all. Thanks for your help, Jonas." She gathers up the cloth and bowl and goes to the kitchen to set them away.

"You're welcome, Hearth" Jonas looks Siv over in a manner that might be intrusive if not for the geniune concern in his eyes even now.

"Thank you, Aunt Kerri," Siv says as the Hearth heads to the kitchen

Whether it's a matter of oversight or chaperoning, Kerri does not call Connor to follow her into the kitchen. The boy is still there in the room with them, though for how long is up to him.

Siv puts a hand on Jonas "Stop fussing. I'm fine. You taught me well, thank you for that."

Jonas seems to relax at her touch but "Well, I am a bit annoyed that you were were sent into a banal area when I would be more... OWWWW" He says as she digs into his arm. "Why am I being gouged?"

"Because I will not have my challenges used to hold me back from my duties," She warns him and pulls nails out of his fore arm, "I know you want to protect me, it is our nature, we're terrible brutes, but my own parents cannot keep me from doing what i think is right even if it be dangerous. You will not either." THen she leans up and kisses him on the lips.

It's a brief cootie exchange, not TOO alarming to the Pup nearby hopefully

And when they part, Siv says "But you are allowed to be concerned and fret and worry for me."

"What a bargain," he says blinking

At some point, Kerri did return from the kitchen, and she now clears her throat. A slightly amused look, and she seems to relent about something. "Connor, come and help me with dishes."

And presuming that the boy is helpful and goes to help in the kitchen, Kerri gives Siv a quick wink as she leaves the two of them alone...for the moment.
