"I've got you, Lily, c'mon. Let's hurry so we don't miss the story."

Sylvi leads the way upstairs.

And up Lily goes

"Oh, storytime. Mountain Frank promised to read us THREE stories a'cuz there is three of us tonight." Connor squeals in delight as he heads up the stairs.

Jack bounces up "He Chief tells good story" A look back at Gerd "Your sister's was nice too" And then bound bound

Gerd shakes her head "I can't believe they liked Vali's old story"

"He -can- tell good stories." Frank allows.

And soon Sylvi sends Lily back down the stairs in a troll-sized grey t-shirt, belted with a sash, which on her looks waif-like and tragic.

"Very nice, Lily." The grump approves. "Come join us for stories." He has a book.

"Three stories." Connor adds.

Frank sighs. "Three."

And lily twirls a bit, in her tragic hip

The Mountain is a soft touch.

Jack grins "You're the best, Connor" And he moves to take a seat in a lap
