Eyebrow.

"Today's not bad."

Frank nods. "Good days, bad days."

Gerd comes in, her gothic demeanor perhaps ruined with a snoopy stuffed animal "hey"
catnik 8:43pm
"Hey."
catnik 8:43pm
"Gerd, you should check on Connor..."
earldebuke 8:43pm
"What? " She pauses "I brought him a gift. What's wrong? Is he okay? Did this new kid try something?" Protective
catnik 8:47pm
"Just... talking about parents."
catnik 8:47pm
"He's sensitive."
earldebuke 8:47pm
"oh boy" Gerd says "Yeah... that's a sensitive spot for him.. which way did he go?"
catnik 8:51pm
"That way, as Buddy..."
earldebuke 8:53pm
"GOnna be a long cold night." She motions to the dog that came with her "Edelweiss, I need your help girl. Time to track. Let's find Connor okay?" And she heads out
earldebuke 8:53pm
Edelweiss with her.
catnik 8:54pm
A soft sigh.
earldebuke 8:58pm
The door opens... busy night?

"Hi Sally Mae."
earldebuke 9:01pm
"Hey, sorry if I'm a bit late.. I .." She looks around "I expected more folks here to be honest. "
catnik 9:02pm
"Quiet night." She shrugs.
earldebuke 9:03pm
"Well, you're my main audience. Got a request for a particular meal . Either here or something you can take your folks?"
earldebuke 9:06pm
"And how are you by the by?" she adds
catnik 9:06pm
Eyebrow.
catnik 9:07pm
"Meal request?"
earldebuke 9:09pm
"Well, not like your last meal or nothing, but I mean you want ribs, lasagna, or fish for dinner?"
catnik 9:10pm
"...Lasagna?"
earldebuke 9:10pm
"Easy to do, we talking any particular type of cheese or you want a 'yes to all the above' and I'll just mix it up proper with plenty of vareity?"
catnik 9:13pm
"All the cheese, yes."
shadylady 9:15pm
"I like lasagna." Frank points out.
earldebuke 9:16pm
"So you do, Mountain" A smile "One five cheese Lasagna deluxe coming up."
earldebuke 9:16pm
"Oh, how are the kids?"
catnik 9:18pm
Grunt.
shadylady 9:19pm
A sigh.
shadylady 9:20pm
"It's a challenge. Trust takes time. They are all still nervy."
earldebuke 9:21pm
"Sorry to hear it," SHe says "I thought it would be good Connor had new friends. Lily, and now Jack Flap" A look at Dagmar "mmm" ("Bit taxing eh?")
catnik 9:22pm
"Thinking we need more parents."
catnik 9:22pm
"Lot to ask."
catnik 9:22pm
A little frown - guilt?
earldebuke 9:23pm
Sally Mae says "Well, Gerd doesn't have parents anymore and she's doing solid right?"
catnik 9:24pm
"Well - Gerd still has Vali."
catnik 9:24pm
"So - she's special to one person in particular, you know?"
catnik 9:24pm
"It.. it's really different when you don't belong to anybody, even if you're getting fed and clothed..."
earldebuke 9:25pm
"Mmm ... this about Jackflap or Connor?" Sally Mae says
catnik 9:25pm
"Yes."
shadylady 9:27pm
"Both. Boys had a disagreement about having parents. Half in pookaspeak, so....."
