"Just... forgive me, I was wondering about Sally Mae and this.. Lyron gent. He seems nice enough but..." A clearing of the Liam's throat. "I hope he understands not to take advantage of Sally Mae. She's a remarkable woman but I worry she feels isolated at times and he might not see the vulneralbity there" Unspoken something else

"Well, can't get around 'sfine' " She nods "Okay. Hope I can buy you a drink or something sometime. I DO appreciate the escort " True

A grunt in response. The lodge looms ahead.

THe old woman nods and quiets. Seeming to sense that's what Dagmar prefers.

A blink at the sidhe as she pours her coffee. "You are...defending her honor?"

"Oh no I mean, well, I...does it need defending?" Cautious. For truly, they are the wise house

"That is entirely up to SallyMae. I would say that it needs defending from anybody else who claims the right to decide that for her." Somewhat disgruntled, she takes her seat by the fire.

"Ah," THe knight says then "Well, Truthbranch protects mortaal love in all forms, and she is a mortal so ...I am sometimes going to try to assist mortals in such matters"

And the door opens as Dagmar comes in, a small Nonplused Chimera flying bewildered (Or is it indifferently) about her head

(✊ )

Blink!

Etsie blinks at it too, "Odd."

The old satyress looks about "Oh, thank Pan. I CAN See the fire"

Brekke is about to comment to Carawyn, but then the door opens and she...raises a brow at the chimera.

Then she stands in the presence of the elder. "Hello, and Welcome. Are you Etsie?" Brekke goes to greet the woman, putting her mug down.

"I am, thank you. You must be the Chieftain. Dame Dagmar was nice enough to put up with my failed jokes and guide me here after I got lost. I thought I might ask for a night by the balefire. At my age, even motel six has trouble keeping my light on"

Dag chews on her thumb, hanging back.

Carawyn sees Dagmar, goes into the kitchen, and coems out, offering a Dr. Pepper

A cold one.

"Oh. Hey. Thanks."

"You're welcome. I wanted to thank you for introducing me to your father" Carawyn says "The job has been perfect for my needs" Truth and a smile together

"Oh. Cool."

"your father informs me that if you ever come by on my shift, I'm supposed to get you whatever iced drinks you want."

Brekke grins at the satyress. "Please, come and sit by the balefire." She directs the elder to a seat near the glow of the flames.

"Do you wish refreshment?

"Yeah? Cool."

She does, visibly basking "Oh thank you that's nice. See, I went up to what I thought was a hold, then , poor Dagmar at the door, I push by assuming she's opened the door. . and Tove and she are so nice they just tend to me kindly while I go on until they explain my kenning is not dead, there's just no balefire there" She waves off the offer "Oh no thank you. I had something to drink recently. "

"Yeah" Truth . His eyes glance towards the kitchen thoughtfully

"Ah." Brekke nods. "I understand. And I am glad you eventually got here." She looks to Dagmar. "Thank you for providing escort, Dame Dagmar."

"Oh, and this is Sir Carawyn Truthbranch," she belatedly introduces the sidhe.

"An honor" he says

"My goodness..." The satyyress admires Carawyn "If you ever want to help me break a hip..."

The liam's eyes go very wide

"S'okay. Duty."

"Sorry, dear. Hoof in mouth happens" The satyress says "Nice to meet you."

Brekke looks slightly amused by Etsie, but she doesn't chuckle. "I understand you will be staying in Rivervale."

"I will" She smiles "Already got a nice little place, apartment with a garden box."

"That's assuming you're okay with it, Chieftain. I realize you don't know me and satyrs can be a handful" She says "I hear you are of House Gwydion ,so .. Gwyd away anytime you like. My life is an open book, with the saucier pages a bit worn"

She coughs.

Brekke shakes her head. "I have no objection, as long as you respect the Escheat."

A glance to Dagmar... something wrong?

"I'm good with the Escheat, I should be, I'm old enough to be there when it was in its first edition" A fun lie

And, she is good with it, it was the old comment that lied.. for those wanting a double check

A nod. "I am glad that you have found shelter."

The old woman nods "Yes, when that satyr bought the appartment complex, I was just pleased as punch to take advantage"

A puzzled look. "Which satyr is this?"

"Caesar, he's big into real estate." A smile

"Indeed? I did not realize he had bought an apartment complex." She sips her coffee. "I am intrigued by his interest in this area."

Headshake from Dagmar.

"Well, it seems he coordiated with the Wayburtons. Special changeling discount. Not a bad spot. I got a ground level, of course. " A smile " I hope the young folks who live up stairs don't complain about my blaring my music too loud"
