"Smells good. Back in a few." And he heads upstairs to his room.

Olgar nods and waves "No problem. If you're late I get your share"

"Hmmph." And he's gone.

In the kitchen, Sally Mae inhales it all "Doesn't that smell wonderful"

"Totally."

She peeks out "Looks like Olgar is here. You join him if you want to. I'll be there shortly"

"Sounds good."

Olgar greets her... and sometime, Gerd slips in, nods, and goes out with two small plates.

Olgar watches this, then looks at Dagmar "I missed something?"

Shrug.

"Connor needs food, too."

"I think Gerd just went out with his if I read that right"

"But go out yourself if you want to make sure she took something for the horses" He seems to get that this is also a concern

"Horses don't need anything... I took care of that."

"Whos talking need? That Star of yours seems to think apples are just tribute on top of it all."

A chuff. "She does. Star's a diva."

"oh, speaking of horses..." Olgar says "I know you got that mask to see her, but I dropped by that island with all the horses, and talked to a rover who frequents there more regular than I. Something something about extra eye on ash and something something blah blah blah of letting us know if she ever needed something"

"Yeah?" She perks.

"yeah" he shrugs "I can't imagine what. They got great vets there and everything"

"Well, Ash has some healing to do."

"Mmm well, someone put her in the right place for it." Was that a nod of approval?

A grin.

"Yup. Vali sure did a great job with that trip" Olgar eats another slice

SNORT.

A chuckle "If I wasn't at least a bit of a jerk you'd wonder who had replaced me"

"Truth."

"What sport you going into for spring?"

"Track and Field. Gonna throw heavy stuff!"

"Good. I wanna know what and who to bet on" Olgar says

"The Mexican Jumping Bean, obviously. Lupe's doing pole vault."

"Ooo good tip" he nods "yeah. It's like she's made out of very light but very tough springs"

"Exactly. So..." She makes a whooshing gesture.

Jaymes and Tove come in... ANd Sally Mae sets them down...

"Wait, this is why you told me not to cook tonight?" Tove says

"You have GOT To try your daughter's garlic bread, you two," Sally mae sits them down.

Purple!

"mm sniff" ("Smells good") Jaymes takes a seat.

Tove beams "Oh? " She sits "ooof" Then smells "It does smell good."

Sally Mae smiles as she creates a King regather as best she can.. Frank will be down soon and no doubt the chief.

And Dagmar's garlic bread gets much praise!

Sally mae may not be as sneaky as Kerri, but she's clearly learning
