"Okay okay..." Siv says folding over for piper like a lawnchair "IF he's okay with it"

A quiet nod of agreement.

Her arms thrown around Siv. Well, most of the way around. And whatever she mumbles is mostly lost as she buries her face in a hug on the much taller lady.

Siv returns the embrace "I'm sorry. I was very selfish and I didn't think how it would affect others"

A blink. She glances down at Frank with some surprise.

Piper wipes at her face. "I'm sorry for fussing at you. I know you're a Captain and a Knight and all. But that doesn't mean that I can't worry."

"I know I know, and I'm sorry. But I'm a Fiona and a troll, reckless duty is part of who I am" She says stroking Piper's face "But I could at least take others into account more"

Brekke clears her throat again, perhaps to remind the girls where they are before they dissolve into a passionate embrace. "I think, Siv, that that is all others are asking."

"You're a knight and a fiona and a troll. And you're brave, and strong, and smart. And clever, and daring, and caring, and you wouldn't leave behind someone in need. And all of that equals part of why I love you." She releases Siv, reluctantly, at the sound, but leaves a hand on her arm. "IS there a way I can help?"

"Well, you could have said so mom" A sigh

Then to Piper she says "Actually, you may want to thank my dad. he was the one who told me notes were.. not going to do it."

Frank is watching the 'Flames, perhaps to provide a semblance of privacy.

A somewhat surprised glance at the mountain. This, from the man who thinks a twitched brow speaks volumes?

Brekke is trying her level best not to look uncomfortable. "Siv...if it is agreed that you will inform others and coordinate your support, then perhaps you should seek out Jonas now."

And she does bow her head a bit. "Thank you, Mountain. It means a lot."

Siv checks her cellphone "Yes, mom that's not a bad.. " She reads a text "Crap. yes. Must get Jonas. Now. Pardon. Piper.. " she shows her the text

"Welcome, Piper."

She sighs at the wisdom behind Brekke's words, and slips the note, unopened, back into Siv's pocket. "We'll laugh about that later. When you're back."

A brow furrow. "Something is wrong?" To Siv.

"Oh, for the love of...!"

"I Need to catch Jonas... " Siv says looking panicked again "He.. he might have.. been rash"

Brekke closes her eyes a moment. "He seeks to avenge you."

With an Of course he does tone.

"We have to find him before we're both out of a boyfriend. Where might he be? I'm fast... I can help look." A shake of her head at Brekke. "No, he got the idea in his fool head that Siv was about to run off to be a hero, and decided to PREEMPT her!"

Frank sighs. "I stopped the one I found......."

"It amounts to much the same."

To Frank. "The one...?"

"The one hero I found."

"Yes, Love you both mom and dad but Piper and I.. we gotta see if we can stop him" She gives each parent an impulsive hug, then goes out to the door

Piper follows without a second thought. Her lot has been thrown, and it falls with Siv.

"Siv! Contact us if you need help!" Brekke calls after as the two go.

Something is yelled back, possibly a 'yes' ... but the door is closed, the two wilders are gone...Leaving both Brekke and Frank alone, in the remnants of Daughter Drama

"She will." quietly.

Brekke sighs heavily. "You did what you could."

"And got some pie, too." He agrees.

"Hmph. I did not get pie."

"I will take you for pie." After a pause. "Siv asked me if she should contact a one-eyed boggan about this matter and wait for the rumors about dead nobles to find her."

A still silence. Then, "I will speak with her." Grim.

"She knew she's spoken wrong just as the words were leaving her mouth."

"She apologized."

"Mm."

A long pause. "She is not entirely wrong. But it should not be done."

A longer pause. "Are you suggesting......?"

"I am not. I am saying that she understands the players and their motives, and how to use one against another. But she still should not have said it. And it should not be done," she repeats for emphasis.

And the two parents notice that drinks have been refilled. Liquor to add nearby if they wish.
