Likewise, Kerri has moved into the kitchen. In general, the grumps seem reluctant to use their cellphones too close to the balefire.

"So we can't cut off his damn head, yeah." Scowl.

TXT: Zane, if you are free, please come to the park lodge.

TXT: SallyMae, need you back here if you're available, please.

"I did not say that," Brekke says to Dagmar. "But if we did that now, it would not resolve the problem completely."

"Not yet" Nadeen says "But we can destroy his ablity to draw agents from the ether"

TXT: On my way

From Zane

"Wish I'd done it during the mission."

TXT: It will be a moment, so sorry (From Sally Mae)

Brekke pauses in what she was about to say and looks at Dagmar. An expression of sympathy. "I understand."

To Zane, a text:Thank you.

Frank steps back inside, nods to Brekke in the affirmative.

TXT: 👍 (to SallyMae)

Brekke returns the nod to Frank.

"Breaking the Code of Dagda? PUnk isnn't worth it" Olgar speaks up

Jaymes sighs "mmmph" (True)

She scowls at Olgar.

Frank picks up his tire tapper from near by the door and slips back outside, going on patrol while others are busy planning.

Olgar is unfazed

Jaymes pats his daugher's hand

"Perhaps not," Brekke agrees with Olgar. "But it is difficult to do the right thing and then have ones family and friends targeted as a result."

"He wasn't surrendering."

"I hear you" Olgar moves to his own daughter

Brekke nods to Dagmar. "You showed restraint."

Sylvi gives her father a slight grin.

Kerri returns from the kitchen. "SallyMae is going to be a little while getting here, but she'll be here."

"Yeah, well. Kept my temper."

"Admirable," Brekke nods to Dagmar.

Vali comes in with Sally Mae. She looks fine. He looks mussed, and his nose is bleeding. Behind them comes Carowyn looking furious.

Indeed, the mild mannnered liam almost pops with ire

"What happened?"

Brekke stands, looking at them with concern.

Kerri goes directly to Vali. "What on earth...?"

"Sir Vali and I had a plan, he used me as bait, I gave him permission and it worked. He had a bullet proof vest... so when they shot it just bruised him"

Sally Mae explains, but seems to be stressinn to Carowyn as much as anyone

Olgar blinks "Then wha's with the bloody nose if it was a gun fight?"

"I gave him the bloody nose" the Liam Sidhe says "And I feel not even a little guilty" True. He really doesnn't

"Bait?" Kerri sounds outraged at the notion, so her attentions to Vali's bloody nose might be compromised by that stance.

"I had a vision," Truth

"A vision that involves endangering our kinain?" Brekke knows Vali's visions are to be believed, but this is pushing it.

"The kinain was ggoing to be endangered anyway, I choose the place and time "

"I agreed to this" Sally Mae says a bit loud because folks don't seem to be listening to her

Carowyn still glares at Vali

Kerri, satisfied that the blood does not indicate an actual break, gets him a damp cloth to wipe off his face. Then she turns to Sally Mae. "Maybe you'd better explain what you agreed to, and why."

"He said that I was in danger, annd that darkness was coming for me. He said he had an idea to turn my possible doom into a trap for the enemy. I liked that notion." Sally Mae lifts her chinn "We DeBukes don't like just sitting around"

Nadeen rubs her forehead "Sally Mae, your money skills may save us all"

Sylvi nudges Kelby and whispers, "That's the truth."

Scowl

Then Sally Mae sees Kelby and her mouth opens "Hey you"
