"True that."

"This hotdog is...heaven" He looks at Sally Mae, "Please tell me you're not seeing anyone?"

Sally Mae actually breaks into a laugh, not giggles, just as if something is cosmically funny "I have to get back to the kitchen, pardon me" And in she goes

Nadeen blinks at that

"I say something wrong?" the Satyr asks Dagmar

"No?"

"I think she doesn't get enough flirting."

Nadeen says "One way to find out. Good luck. But we all like Sally Mae very much. Bear that, and the fact that most of the people here are protective and frightening strong, in mind." The last of her dog is eaten

"Oh, trolls do tend that way..."

"Noted," Lyron says eyes glancing at the kitchen door

"But Sally Mae is great. And smart!"

"Oh?" he asks

"FInacial wizard," Nadeen says

"Pretty, she cooks, and she's going places? " Lyron says "hwo does she NOT have a boyfriend or three?"

"Not a lot of guys? Especially not her age."

"Or they're already partnered... or they're cousins..."

"So," Lyron says "Things look promising."

"Well, there is a sidhe" Nadeen says "Sir Carawyn and she have interacted pleasantly. So don't assume things are easy."

"Oh, never" he agrees

"Carawyn seems nice. He's been doing good at the store."

"The store? " He says

Nadeen says "oh, it used to be a typical convenience store gas station, but now, Dagma's father has bought it and spruced it up. He was nice enough to offer Sir Carawyn a job. The good knight accepted."

"Lucky guy" The Satyr said.

"I don't know if he can hire a second employee yet..." She chews on her lip.

"I won't press then," Lyron says "But thank you for considering me for it, Dagmar. "

"Could see if Anne Marie wants extra help, but Jonas free time, and Siv would like that" Nadeen ponders.

Lyron laughs, "You know what? Excuse me. I appreciate trying to make me into a working member of society, but i need to thank someone for a hot dog."

And he gets up, and goes into the kitchen.

Nadeen's jaw drops open.

Then "Well, he's bold , isn't he?"

"Satyrs, yeah?"

"I mean, I was bolder as a satyr..."

Nadeen smile gets a bit wicked "I remember."

Blush.

"Didn't care about my scars, either. Man, I was half-naked!"

"You looked good. Shorter, but good," She smiles "But I like you even better like this. "

"I... Jeez, I wonder how long the cupid thing lasts... I hope..I... " She blushes again, and reaches to touch Nadeen's hair. "I hope it stays."

Footsteps outside the front door, and then Brekke enters, Oak preceding her at an energized trot, for it's a brisk temperature for a patrol today. The Chieftain notes the room's occupants with a nod. "Dame Dagmar, Lady Nadeen." She sets her cloak on a peg near the door.

Nadeen frowns , then "I was attracted to you even before. I just didn't know how to..." Then she rises to see the Chieftain and bows, "Chieftain. We have a guest."

Dag clears her throat, sitting up straighter. "Chief."

If she noticed the closeness between the two, she makes no indication. "A guest?"

A glance around the room, then back to Nadeen.

"Oh, in the kitchen. With Sally Mae. Chieftain, did you hear anything about.. a traggo forming in the Barony level?"

Apparently the Varich thinks it's best to forearm the Chieftain.

Brekke pauses and blinks. After a moment, she says, "This is something of Professor Wayburton's doing?"

"I suspect so" She says

"Hm." She looks to the kitchen. "Does the guest have a name?"

"Lyron. He's from Barbados!"

"Has been pretty honest so far..."

Brekke nods to Dagmar, trusting her Gwydion instincts. "Well, I will meet him. Excuse me." And she heads for the kitchen.
