A nod.

"And, like, everything with her parents was way messed up. The Browns were good people."

"Yeah. I only met them once at a game where the cheerleaders were with us? They seemed all right"

"Well, I was fostered with them when I first came here, before Jaymes."

"I think Jaymes is the better fit, but gglad they treated you right. Your dad's pretty cool"

"Yeah. They did their best, but... like, Jaymes and Tove are real."

"Tove fought HARD for you" A smile

"Tove's great. I think we might have jerky for the trip... SO spicy, too!"

"I know, she doesn't do bland" A nod "Hope Mrs Davidsonnn puts in nsome thinggs too"

"Oh yeah, we won't starve."

"I'm looking forward to this. I don't get to do stuff with you like this"

"This is gonna be awesome! Torrin has some old songs, but I don't think team-ups happen very often."

"In the time of legends, the wild ones and the shifters would ..well, stories very"

"Fight, sometimes. Team up others."

"But, like, we're what's left now, and we're both against evil stuff."

"Make us sound like superheroes, Amiga"

"Is that a bad thing?" A little smile. Lupe HAS been subjected to the entire MCU at this point.

A laugh "Nah. As long as I'm not quicksilver in that second avengers movie. El Sucko"

"No way. You're Ant-Man."

"I can do maggic tricks?" A grinn

"I was thinking short and maybe a criminal. Bet you'd look cute in a Baskin-Robbins uniform..."

"Baskins-Robbins they don't play" Semi quote

"They don't!"

"Hey, all well?" Tiara trots up "Sorry to interupt."

"Hey Tiara. This is Lupe. She's a friend."

"I.. oh" Tiara squints then seems to remember not to speak of fae matters "Ah, the guy at the apartments dropped by offering a space. Have you seen the ... Mrs King?"

"She was inside, not sure if she's still in or if she headed out the back way."

"Thanks, oh, hi, Lupe, " She offers a hand, "Didn't mean to be rude"

"No problem" Lupe shakes it "you the jerk of the group or is that someone else?"

"Uhm..." Tiara blinks

"Lupe!"

"I HOPE it's not me?" Tiara recovers

"It's not!"

"Whew" Tiara says

"Sorry. Lupe is blunt. She thinks she's funny."

"Fantastic, since you're not the jerk, maybe you and Sam could be friends, assuming you're both cool with it" Lupe adds, then looks to Sam, "And I'm freakin hilarious"

"Luuuuupe." She blushes.

Tiara blinks anew

Then she looks at Sam "I see what you mean. But if it's worth anything, we could hang?"

"I mean, I guess. I know you have a lot to work out still."

"It's okay, mostly I feel like I'm in the way"

"Well, it's not been a week yet... things'll settle."

"I hope so," Tiara says "My memories are.. uhmmm" She catches herself before she talks of past lives in front of the muggle

"It's cool" Lupe rises, "I Should go. You guys can alk"

"Sure. I will acquire snacks for the quest!"

A car pulls into the driveway...Brekke's Jeep, borrowed by the Hearth for the purpose of shopping.

Kerri climbs out and starts to pull out one full canvas bag after another, putting them down on the gravel.

Lupe grins "Speak of the devil"

"Quest?" Tiara inquires

"Quest! But first, groceries. C'mon..." Tiara is waved to help unload.
