"YOu DID Help" Gerd says

"You saved Lane, Dame."

The English Springer spaniel puts her paws up on the table, and steals a burger. Because apparently it's tastier in dog form"

"Is he settling in?" Brekke asks the spaniel.

Grunt.

GULP And under the table and out of sight. Then out comes the young woman "He had a long hard cry.." She moves to a piece of paper ,and beginns to write

A brow at the pooka speak.

Then hands it to the Chief

She accepts it and reads.

Connor rises to his tip-toes and tries to peep... FUTILE, because even on tip-toes he's not quite at reading height on the Chieftain.

Well, the Chieftain is sitting, but even so...nope.

Brow?

A brow at Tiffany. "Even on four legs, you are a remarkable confidante." She passes the letter to Anne Marie, but says to the others, "We have more information about him, but I would still like to give him the opportunity to share the information himself."

"Easier on five legs. Ask Buddy, he'll tell you"

A dubious look at that.

Anne Marie looks at the note "I'll still pry for a Jordan Grant missing "

Then she adds, "He is struggling. And yes, he could go Autumn easily. Keep that in mind, please."

Brekke nods. "And the grandmother....likely fae."

"If she's changeling that's even easier! Pardon" the Dame boggan smiles "But the gossip chain"

"I trust you to engage your talents," Brekke nods.

Anne Marie smiles "I'm off on just that"

"Unnless there are other orders?" She offers

"Let your sons know what happened."

"Dirk's already patroling around Jaymes and Tove's house as extra muscle" She says proudly

"And.. Symonn is off .. not sure where"

"Mm." Brekke nods. "Thank you, as always."

"As always " She puts a hand UP on Dagmar's shoulder "And Dame Dagmar...you protected Lane. You made it possible for Gerd to free Jordan. Seems even when you think you've failed, you help. Your mother and father are going to be PROUD, as are the rest of us too. Don't doubt it" A look to Gerd "Lovely burgers Gerd, and yes, lovely rescue too" And she heads out before wilders can fuss or blush

Which Dagmar does, of course.

Gerd blushes too "Bogggans" As if that explains

A brief, amused sound.

Tiffany mmphs "Sure everyone believes boggans"

Grunt.

There's a roar of an engine. A familar one.. Dagmar's bike?

If they look outside, they See Bix DeBuke giving it a test! Spring magics at work. He calls out "Hey, Dagmar, want to give this a test?"

Brow, and she goes to see.

And she finds her bike good as new...

Bix says "Mara maybe better at IMPROVING tthings, but I'm damnn good at fixing" Proud

"Yeah, it looks pretty good."

"Give it a quick ride around the parkingg lot, seating might need to be adjusted"

A flicker of hesitation.

"Oh right" He hands over her helmet, then looks at her "Hey, it's okay. I fell off a tractor once.. had it roll over me. I didn't want to go near it for a week, but..if you can, you should try"

"I need to take it home..."

"Cool" He nods" Drive it over slow"

Bix smiles "No charge."

A little brow furrow.

"Yeah. I mean - thank you."

"Sorry, was a joke.. I actually like 'healing' machines. Not everyone can do it.. so it makes me feel.." he searches for a word "Iike I'm useful I guess, like I pay the world back for the good things?"

Nods. "Everyone wants to feel useful."

A nod, trollish understanding. Tthe bike is turned over to her, ready to roar
