"Oh, I forgot he existed" Olgar says (lie) then looks at his wife and daughter "You want us to eat?"

Sylvi's jaw drops. "Wait, I'm..." She looks down at her pajamas and robe. "I can't go like this!" She races up the stairs.

"Tell Colton that Sylvi said she can't eat" Olgar tells Sally mae

A dubious look at Olgar. "Your subtlety needs work."

Sally Mae rolls her eyes "A LOT of work"

"Don't you dare, Sally Mae. "

"I'll tell him we'll be joining him in just a moment. Excuse me, everybody. And Vali, Tiffany, congratulations again. Siv, welcome back, and don't you dare leave until your parents see you in the morning!" And Kerri goes to speak with Colton.

Tiffany waves with her left hand "Thank you, thank you, I conquered him with effort..." In front of Sally Mae

Sally Mae grins "Well no wonder the mead is out! I got tonight's duties down, Hearth"

Siv grins "Got it, Aunt Kerri. Sides, they'er not getting off that easy"

Colton and Kerri talk, long enough that even Sylvi might be dressed in time. And Olgar ..hey, he changes his shirt. What more do you want?

A few moments later, Sylvi comes galloping down the steps, in dressy casual, and shoots her father a look of mild outrage before being all smiles for Colton.

Colton greets Sylvi with a smile

"Hi!" Sylvi gets a bit of revenge on her father by claiming a very enthusiastic kiss from Colton.

Olgar is very good andd hides his sigh

And soon, Colton and the Davidsons are heading out

Sally Mae and Tiffany gush for awhile and Siv joins in.

JAYMES looks over at his daughter and grunts ("Chatty, aren't they?")

Grunt. ("Right?")

Gerd says "Dagmar was thinking of crashing with me tonight if that's okay, Mr. King?" An excuse to stay by the balefire the girl "And it would let her catch up with Siv"

Jaymes looks at Dagmar , brow raised ("Would you like to do that?")

She bites on her lip and nods.

A nod "Okay" he says "Make sure you eat." Firmer nod

Siv turns "Hey, wait, both of you are here tonight?" A relieved smile "That does make me feel better. "

"We could watch Xena?"

"Been awhile" Siv says "Sure"

"Oh dear, that means popcorn is a must I take it?" Sally Mae does not sound as put upon as her words 'oh dear' might suggest

"Well, yeah. Popcorn and Dr. Pepper..."

Gerd says "Tea for me, please?"

"Dr. Pepper's fine by me too, Sally Mae, and thank you" Siv says

Jaymes grunts "They'll need real food later, please"

"I never left anyone to starve, Mr. King, don't you worry" Sally Mae says

He nods and then kisses his daughter between the horns "Be good. Proud of you."

Ack! The rules.. people are watching!

"Da-ad."

"mmph" A shrug, ("I slipped") slight smile which on anyone else would be bigger.

"Mmph." She doesn't seem too upset.

"Night" He says to all,and slips out.

Siv says "At least your dad doesn't call you Fishie when he forgets" reassuring

Gerd chuckles

"Oh jeez, yeah..."

"So, we wanna set up down here?"

"Totally" Siv says "I don't want my dad sneaking past me in the morning"

"Fine by me, " Gerd says "I'll break otu some sleeping bags"

"Great! I'll go help in the kitchen..."

And they arrange things...

Sleeping bags! Popcorn! Drinks!

Vali and Tiffany had gone into the kitchen to talk to Sally Mae but they are on their way out to.. uhm talk as a couple.. and wish all well

soon enough...Xena show time!

Dagmar is a trooper, but she's probably still the first to drop.
