Siv grooms the horses "No, Dagmar's fine. Just thought I'd save her a little work. And besides, was thinking of talking to someone. "

"So that's you" Siv says as she works Stormwake's mane "And Star, and Spark, of course"

"Dad doesn'tt like me taking odd jobs for the Spymaster. But damn. I'm good at it. Mind you, partly because of me gifts. "

"And I'm still furious at Rikki... Eden not so much, and Piper thinks Dad was unreasonable" A sigh

"And.. I'm not sure if I'm..." She combs "Am I a leech?"

"I mean.. I patrol. I do help the County, but to Rivervale, I seem to be the last person folks turn to." A thought "I mean, if they need a ship I guess for transport but even then they think of Gerd fflickerflashing first. And if it doesn't involve transport... seems like I'm not even on the list of who they think of getting help from. I love my home but I .. I don't want to just take from it"

"Is it my folks don't want to bother me? Or is it I'm just truly the last one on their idea of who can get a job done? Do they think i'm shagging Piper and Jonas all the time ? " A snort "First of all, even if I wanted to- Jonas is too duty bound to live like that, and I can't tell you the number of times a musical idea hit Piper and suddenly 'Musician bed death' " She mimes "Oh siv i just had an idea..' and over she flips to write down some lyric ideas."

Star nickers

'Oh sure, laugh at me" Siv smiles though and moves to tend Star's coat now

"Oh well, I wanted to be an errant knight, did I not? Almost insulted Baroness Coradel when she hinted I could swear. Didn't mean it as such, just this my home. Only, I guess I need my home more than my home needs me"

"well, I'm gonna pout about it out here rather than where other two leggers can hear me. thanks for letting me vent"
