"They dont' get it what Freedom means to girls and women" Siv agrees with Dagmar

"Exactly."

"Freedom?" Jonas blinks "I thought the subject was horses?"

"Exactly."

"Horses, Ships, each girl has her own way, Jonas. Her own symbol of freedom, and it's dear." A brow as if she is VERY disappointed he doesn't get it.She even tisks.

Jonas rolls his eyes

Siv repeats in a whisper "They don't get it"

"Nope. But you do!"

"For me it's ships, but yeah.. okay, THAT One is pretty" She points to one that is, of course, the color of Sea foam

"You would..."

"Guilty and unashamed" She says

A grins

Grin.

Even Jonas smiles, a bit

"Okay, so yeah, this last page says if you want to submit something send a chimerical letter and if need be some sort of picture... oh neat"

"How do you take chimerical pictures?"

"I'm not sure" She admits "But there must be a way"

"Nockers know how" Jonas says "i've seen it. "

"We have some round here..."

"Maybe one can hook you up" he says

"Hm. They tend to be explodey types..."

"Maybe they know someone non explody types. I could call Bertrand. He works in glass" Siv says

"Oh! Yeah, Bertrand's alright."

"I'll put word out then" She nods "See if he can hook us up. Of course, you may not want to share pictures of Star"

"Why not? She's the most beautiful horse..."

"That's what I thought you'd say" She grins "Yeah. I'll ask"

"Stormwake is ALSO handsome, of course..."

"Of course" She nods "Just ask him"

Snerk.

The girls talk more about the horses, both the ones here, and the ones in the letter... and dont' realize that Jonas has gotten each of them their favorite drinks and just put it in their hands

"OH!"

"You know what you need? A hippocampus!"

"A water horse? Oh I won't lie, I'd love one, but where would I keep the beauty? "

"Mmm.. dunno."

"Maybe it'd be wild, but you could call it, like, with a horn or a seashell or something..."

"Wouldn't mind a friend like taht" She smiles

Jonas says "Why not turn INTO one?"

"Or that!"

"Though a friend is different from being a thing..."

"Working on it" Siv says "And Dagmar's right, sometimes you want a companion, and animals are , well, sometimes they understand better than people"

Jonas mmms but leaves it be

"You think that's why pooka are so easy to talk to?"

Siv nods "i'm sure of it... they're tied to those dreams enough that you look into their eyes and just ..share. Well" A thought "That and they can't really TELL what you said to anyone else, not exactly"

"True... oof, headachey."

Siv grins "See, that's an edge the Lions have over the falcons. Fewer headaches"

"I guess."

"And it might be nice to be fearless... oh, hey." She realizes she has a Dr. Pepper, and drinks some.

"Thanks, Lover" Siv says to Jonas as she realizes she too has a drink

"More heart aches" Jonas counters

Siv sticks her tongue out at Jonas at that
