Symon is deep in his Cantrip... Not hearing Siv or Frank.

earldebuke 9:14pm

From a good disttance. This must have been sent by a sling shot or something!

robinrahne 9:15pm

Brekke looks back. "Dagmar, please stay here to defend."

Further... he needs to see further! More glamour poured in to try to get a wider look.

catnik 9:15pm

A grunt and a nod.

earldebuke 9:16pm

Siv is heading out with her mom. She's not talking, gabbing, or her usual chipper self for obvious reasons

shadylady 9:16pm

Frank returns. "She's fine." and if Siv's not in earshot he'll text her to tell her the same.

shadylady 9:16pm

"Dagmar, why don't you check the stables?"

robinrahne 9:17pm

"Siv, can you use the Narwhal to get to Caer Falken? Otherwise, we take the Jeep."

earldebuke 9:18pm

"Got it right here, Mom" she pulls out her own saatchel where the ship in the bottle awaits

Symon goes deeper into his cantrip, turning deathly pale and shadowy as his fae mein comes through to the wyrded side... luckily no mortals here to see...

robinrahne 9:19pm

A nod. "To the river, then."

earldebuke 9:19pm

And SYMON's mein seems more real than real... as his eyes writhe with greedy shadows that drag in more! More to be seen! More that is hidden will be brought to his gaze!

He shivers in glee at the power of the unleashing, eyes flicking to look at what only he can see!

catnik 9:20pm

catnik 9:21pm

"Will check... gotta... Sy..." A nod at who she is currently protecting.

earldebuke 9:21pm

And he sees a sluagh , not one he knows, spindly with a derby hat and a vest with a small flower in it. The fellow is a grump, and he shoots the meat wad with a slingshot... his lips move and Symon reads his lips 'Sorry poochie, job's a job'

earldebuke 9:22pm

Frank gets a text back.hasty. A 'K'

“Shit. SHIT.” He is muttering as he pulls and squeezes and drags to bring his consciousness back from the past to the Now.

earldebuke 9:22pm

but that's because a ship is plunging and reappearing in a different part of the County

catnik 9:23pm

"Sy, make sure we don't lose that... " Grunt, chin points at the poisoned gobbet.

He snaps to and pulls a little vial from his pocket. The contents emptied and he puts the gobbet in there.

earldebuke 9:25pm

Kerri may have Brown Dog collapse soon, but he's exhausted and weak, not dying. So..improvement

catnik 9:26pm

"I gotta.. I gotta check the horses..."

robinrahne 9:26pm

Kerri makes sure Brown Dog drinks lots of water.

shadylady 9:26pm

Frank nods. "I'm going to have a patrol around. Dagmar, you stay if you wish to. I can check the horses."

He snaps to and pulls a little vial from his pocket. The contents emptied and he puts the gobbet in there.

“Dagmar, wait.” He whispers, barely audible. But he waves her closer, if she will come.

catnik 9:27pm

She falters, and then approaches Symon.

He whispers to her, “This wasn’t coincidence. Someone targeted your dog. Not Oak. Not the lodge. Brown Dog. It was intentional... and that means you could be in danger too. Unless he was a real putz and hit the wrong dog... but I think any hit called out could determine between a brown mutt and a giant white fae hound. And this guess was a pro, I think. He said it was a job... I’m going to find out who he was.” He promises her.

shadylady 9:30pm

Frank nods to Kerri and heads towards the stables.

robinrahne 9:30pm

Kerri gets Brown Dog inside and onto a comfortable pile of blankets.

He whispers to her, “This wasn’t coincidence. Someone targeted your dog. Not Oak. Not the lodge. Brown Dog. It was intentional.., and that means you could be in danger too. Unless it was a mistake, but I think that any hit called out could determine between a brown mutt and a giant white fae hound. And this was a professional I think. He said it was a dog. Dagmar, I’m going to find out who did this.” He promises her.

catnik 9:31pm

"But Brown Dog isn't Kerri's."

“I know. That’s why I’m worried. The only one we know they are after is Mom and her family... or MAYBE the lodge for sheltering her? But why target YOUR dog?”

catnik 9:34pm

"I don't know."

catnik 9:35pm

"I don't even know who this guy is - I wasn't even a troll seven years ago."

“Just.. be careful? I have to make a few calls...”

catnik 9:37pm

"YOU be careful."

An up-chin nod to her. “I’ll text you when I’m done. K?”

He heads inside to use the secure phones. A few calls to make... he starts with Lady Grey, and then Mister Gluminski. Asking both if they knew of the sluagh he saw, describing him as detailed as he can from his glimpse.

catnik 9:39pm

He gives her a (clammy, cold) arm pat before he headed in...

catnik 9:41pm

Dag marches around the lodge, checking on what Frank may have missed.

shadylady 9:44pm

He's giving the stables a thorough going-over. He nods. "You ok?"

earldebuke 9:45pm

Stables good. Garden? Good. Purple tree. Fine. Driveway, good.

catnik 9:47pm

"I.. I dunno. I didn't expect somebody to hurt the dogs."

shadylady 9:48pm

earldebuke 9:48pm

Symon grabs the secure phone.. only to have his text chirp.. From Dirk
