"It's the BALANCE i'm talkin about, it's pole arm, not a tomahawk"

"Well, man, you gotta really put some spin on it. Gotta throw it hard."

"Well, Icann see how you did THAT then I just huh"

"I think it was luck. Or da'an."

"Like, Leech kinda earned it?"

"More than a little " Her eyes narrow and darken "those poor people"

"Right?"

"The man was well named, taking like a bloated tick, growinng rich and fat, and that's not enough, he has to destroy those who Might be a threat to him?'

"Still say he was like the mom-fucker guy."

"Oedipus? Took his eyes out? "

"Yeah! See, like, we did this in school."

"This oracle lady was like 'you're gonna kill your dad and schtup your mom.' Right? So to avoid that, he left home."

"Thing is, he was adopted."

"And his birth parents, they were told by the oracle lady 'Your baby is gonna kill his dad and schtup his mom."

"SO, they abandoned the baby, trying to avoid it."

"But by both trying to avoid it, they kinda caused it?"

"He didn't know it was his mom he married."

"Mind you, killing a stranger in road rage is seriously messed up... so, like, he was totally still a murderer..."

"But he didn't know the stranger was his dad, you see?"

"So, Leech, like..."

"Leech thinks he's gonna be killed by a centaur."

"But if he had just left the centaurs alone, he would still be fat and rich in his little empire."

"That.. makes sense" A nod "Mounntain might aggree"

"So yeah, he's a dumbass."

A smug look "I hope my litle gift threw his math off"

"Oh?"

"Soothsay doesn' work so well on me" She shrugs

"If he thouht he had it all figured out, then maybe... maybe i helped make a whole to bring his fate he brought on hisself come sooner still? Donn' know"

"Maybe!"

Siv goes on "Oh, did you catch up on news of how the other side of things went? Sylvi was a boss! " She relates how Syli reminded all of the Code.. as she heard it

"Annd Nadeen's dictum took out like 5 hunters"

"...yeah..."

"gona be a hell of a tale when your mom and gramps are done with it"

Then Siv hears some one call for her "Gota go. That might be piper"

Leaving Dagmar with a sleeping Grryphon...
