"Later, Delight of many hearts" And he smiles

And when she goes to See Nadeen, Nadeen lights up like a star over snow

Grandfathers can be wise

(End Scene)

Lyron has the same reaction almost every non troll does "Hey mon, this is a huge place"

"I think it's about right..." Then again, in her mien, Dagmar stands over 7 ft...

"One gets used to it," Nadeen says

She checks the kitchen.

Sally Mae comes out "Who ooh , Dame Dagmar, Lady Nadeen, is all well?"

"Hey Sally Mae. Any of the big three around?"

"I haven't seen them, but one might come in" Sally Mae says then looks to Lyron "Oh sir, you must be freezing. .Take a seat. Something warm? Coco, or cofee?"

"Anything warm, pretty lady," He smiles.

"He says he wants to join a trago. Like - dude, why you wanna go from barbados to Jersey? Aren't there tragos there?"

"There are, but I thought I might want to hit the mainland," True

"Why?"

Sally Mae looks at Dagmar and Nadeen "Can I get you girls some drinks too?"

"I'm good but thank you."

"Fine, thanks" Nadeen says

Lyron answers "Thought it would be friendlier, also I lost a lot in the hurricane"

Sally mae shows up with hot coco and hands it to Lyron who takes it gratefully

"Thank you, pretty Lady" he smiles

"That sucks. I dunno how friendly it is there... but, well, the Wayburtons are nice."

"I'm hoping so," He smiles, "I know I'm a stranger, but I don't mean no harm to no one" True "But I do look suspicious, just appearing I suppose" An admission

"A little, yeah."

"Quite, actually" Nadeen says "It's been months since the hurricane, and friendlier? That's.. an interesting way to word it."

"Don't assume everyone on the island life is happy, or nice, Lady Nadeen" He sips "Some right rat bastards in every part of the world"

"So - running from a bad situation?"

"You could say that" A sip

"So who did you piss off?"

"Muldoon" Lyron says

"Yeah? Who's that?"

"Muldoon owns the island, effectively. You pay his tithe in glamour, you hand over your dross. And, yes, you pay your mortal money. He's a mean son of a bitch, and I hope his next life is a quadriplegic"

"...tithe? Like, pay just to be there?"

"You got it," Lyron says, and so far he's not lied at all, "Ooh sure, you can stay a step ahead of him.. but he's got a group of bully boys. They act as his snitches, and if you try to cross him, he makes you, or your family pay."

Nadeen looks to Dagmar, but seeing she's not declared a lie yet, looks back to the satyr "I see why you felt the need to leave. We have nothing like that here. "

"Seriously... and we have, like legit mafia in Jersey. Not here, but, y'know... Gardens."

"Well, you also have lovely ladies here," He gestures to all three, "And I'm glad of that."

Sally Mae chuckles at something. As if there were something ironic going on.

I think we have more girls than guys, overall..."

"Tell me more of this amazonian paradise " A grin. Satyrs are not shy.

Sally Mae says "Clearly, the hotcoco has heated you enough, sir. You ready for some food?"

Lyron raises a brow "Surely would not mind, Miss Sally, you being a kind woman to me I know. This is more than I expected."

"mm hmm" Sally Mae says, then looks to Dagmar and Nadeen "I know you didn't want drinks, but I can whip up some hotdogs , going to make one for him"

"Lunch would be good. Need help?"

"For hotdogs? I got it covered," Sally Mae says "If you want in the kitchen you're welcome, but I've got it."

"One for me too please," Nadeen says.

Sally Mae nods, and goes into the kitchen.

Lyron watches this exchange with interest, the departing Sally me particularly, then he says "If I can get used to the cold, this might be a very nice place indeed"

"Well, it helps to wear actual clothing."

"Oh sure, that old repression, making a man wear clothes" Exagerated scoff
