"Oh... oh! Did the walk go well?"

"It did, thank you, Dagmar" Jonas says

Siv grins "VERY well.. though I was really worried before that. For much of the day befoe, I was scarlet"

"...Scarlet?"

"My skin was crimson all over"

"...how?"

"Not sure , some prank. Everyone was a different color or pattern.. all OVER...." A sigh "Could not wash it off"

"Man, I don't like pranks..."

"I' m good with them, but not on the same day I have a big date planned" She grumbles

"it was a wonderful date" Jonas says "And the color vanished by evening"

"Well, I'm glad it worked out."

"It did" Siv says and gives Jonas a happy look, then back to Dagmar "Any other news here? "

"Um. No?"

"Oh" She says "Uhm.. has dad seemed okay?"

Brow furrow.

"I guess?"

She nods "Okay ... okay" She seems a bit worried about it, but nods

And Jonas, saying nothing, comes behind her and puts a supporting hand on Siv's shoulder.

"I haven't seen much of him."

Siv leans into Jonas and nods "Okay. Thanks."

"I'll keep an eye?"

"Appreciate it" Siv says "But i kknow you have to focus on your own folks"

"Yeah... Tove is going a little stir-crazy, I think"

"Dad, you know, the store is actually pretty busy?"

"That's ..weird to me but works" She says "Is he considered essential?"

"he sells foodstuffs, that probably puts him on the list" Jonas says

"Food and gas, yeah."

Jonas looks amused "he also has been known to enforce limits on toilet paper. "

"Of course!"

"Jaymes is tough but fair minded," Siv says "he'd be a good person to handle supplies period for a pandemic."

"Yeah..." A frown. "Don't like how he's exposed."

"I know it may not help much, but we use willowhisper and things on him to find out of he's sick" Jonas says

Siv stops "What? willowhisper his body to ask it if it is sick?"

"Yes" He nods

"And ..who thought of this?" She inquires

"Well, I did, " Jonas says "it seemed a pragmatic use of the magic and it set his mind at ease"

"Yeah? That's... thanks."

Siv reaches up and kisses Jonas Soundly.

He returns it, but seems surprised as it stops "What was the kiss for?"

"Jonas, you thought of a sensible way to keep others safe we didn't think of. Twas both intelligent, and trollish, and very you. " Siv looks VERY proud, then looks to Dagmar and grunts ("Didn't I choose well?")

Grunt-nod. (Indeed!)

A light blush from Jonas

The crunch of boots on gravel outside.

Siv turns at that, and yes, Oak barks a hello bark

"hunh." ("Speak of the devil...")

Frank opens the front door and steps in, taking off his coat and toeing off his boots.

And he gets hugged, "Dad"

"Oof!" He was off balance on one foot and hugs her back for balance. "Siv? What are you doing here?"

"Dropping off mail responding to what you sent, dad, and walking Jonas home" A smile

An acknowledging grunt. He stand with one boot on and one off. "Mm. Will you stay? A bit?"
