A slight brow at Lupe, but an amused one.

"Yeah? I can whisper already. Jonas of all people's been helping me so I can talk to the horses..."

A smile at something.

"Now...you say the bodies are still out there? What are your rituals in this regard, Lupe?"

Lupe has been texting, then looks at it "Pack is already pickign them up. We got a litany..rules about secrets, too"

"Wish I could meet them sometime..."

"Fair. Now...I have heard Dirk's telling. Is there more to be told, or does he have the story complete?"

"Most of it? They came up on us, we fought, Dirk and Sylvi joined... I think us being fae surprised them. OH, Sylvi did cool magic..."

A frown. "THEY have magic, one of them did.. made me see stuff..."

"Well, you met Rails I thought but... oh yeah, the plants thing.. Sylvi whammied them with thorns" Lupe nods "Slowed em down, made a difference"

A frown. "They do?" She looks to Lupe for confirmation of BSD magic.

"Awful stuff..."

"Like... I saw... I thought I'd... like I'd lost my temper and hurt Tove...." Brow furrow.

"Some of them have ..gifts from dark totems... twisted spirits.. " Lupita acknowleges "Madness, fear... lies"

"Probably the Dancer didn't know WHAT was being drawn up, just going for what was inside her greatest fears or worries"

"Nightmares."

A grim nod.

Dirk looks over at Dgmar and admits "if someone made me see a dream wheree I Killed Anne Marie? It'd rattle me. Then I'd kill them.. like you killed that bitch guy. So.. good"

She bites on her lip and nods.

A sharp look at Dirk, but she doesn't say anything. "Lupe, I hope you will tell your people who fought at your side today, as I am sure mine will share the tale of fighting along with you. We know you are a friend. I hope your Caern recognizes my people as allies, and knows who they are."

"They do, Chieftain. Rails says you're a tall glass of water and an even bigger mug of all right." She says

"Hm." Amused. "But I speak not for me. I would have your people know of Dagmar, Dirk, and Sylvi, that they should be safe if they encounter each other."

"Rails seems okay." She stretches once free of her cuirass.

Good thing Brekke knows she's been healed - the tunic beneath is scarlet with bloodstains.

"Sure. I mean, I haven't been telling much about you guys because, well, some of it I forget when the glow goes but als oI remember you have your own secrets. You want me to tell them about Sylvi and the others you got it."

Lupe looks at Dagmar "We got a change of clothes for her here? We don't want her mom seeing all the stains"

"Tell them at least that you know they are allies. You need not tell more." Then to Dagmar, "Yes, you must change. I think Kerri is out, but I think Sylvi will have extra clothing for you to borrow while that is washed here."

"Thanks. Yeah, I'm the next shower..."

"Lupe should fit some of Gerd's stuff, I think..."

"Let me find Gerd and ask." And Brekke rises to go upstairs.

And off the CHief goes. Shortly Gerd comes down "Clothes being prepared.. shower when you're ready , Dagmar. I'm gonna make you guys some soup"

"oooo, soup."

"Yeah, was thinking something beefy, restores the blood." She says "And I hear you guys LOST a lot.. healing helps, but nothing like natrual recovery."

"Hey, we won."

"Damn straight" Lupe says

"I mean, lost a lot of BLOOD..geez the three of you are so macho" Gerd smiles though

Rather than get offended, Lupe flexes

A weary grin and she flexes.

"COKE" Lupe says

"You so owe me a coke" Lupe grins

Gerd raises a brow. "Neither of you is owed a coke until one of you says Jinx"

"hunh? Jinx?"

"Yeah it's like something Uncle Vali taught me. Two friends do something or say something at the same time by chance, one would say Jinx.. and then declare 'you owe me a coke' because they said it first." Gerd says

Dirk blinks "This is a thing?"

"Well, it was a thing," Gerd says

"Yeah, I heard about it too. I had an uncle who did that" Lupe says "Forgot about the jinx part.." Then "Since you said it first I guess you win.. I'll get you a coke. Still, cool thing is we did it at the same time"

She grins. "Totally. Great minds, yeah?"

"yeah" Lupe smiles

"Look, I'll get you BOTH sodas, along with the stew, but I'm begging you, one of you go shower.. my nose is used to delicate tea aroma" Gerd says

Lupe rolls her eyes
