Piper joins in, and when the song ends, picks up with another, happily taking a turn so that Tove can dance as well - if Jaymes is up for it.

Jess seems content to sit and listen. Frank will offer Brekke and his daughters each a dance if they wish.

Jess almost passes, but then agrees; father and daughter have a short dance together.

Jaymes is. Siv and Jonas dance while Frank and Jessica do, then when Jessica is done,Siv dances with her father delighted "Da, you dance very well."

"Thank you. You do as well."

"Enjoying tonight? Despite the ah.. discovery that CJ is walking?"

"Not as much 'despite' as 'including' that incident, yes."

"Can't stop a king from taking a stand " A nod

Frank chuckles.

"Gerd says you're taking her on your next haul? got one planned soon?"

"Mm. Monday I'll contact the office and see what the schedule is."

"Sounds like ASAP if you can get it?" Surprised "getting the itch to travel on top of things?"

"Not as much that as Gerd's interest in traveling and I think we could use a little cash infusion."

"We hurting?" A troubled look, and.. is that guilt?

"No, we're not hurting." calmly "To avoid that state, I'm going to pick up some work."

His daughter grows pensive looking regardless "I think maybe I need to get off my ass around here"

Though she patrols as much as anyone and is often on a spy mission for teaneck

"I repeat, Siv, in my eyes you do plenty around here. For the Lodge, and the County."

She kisses him on the cheek, "I know, Dad. But me mortal half, because I am more fraggile to banality, has been a touch neglected. I go out and shop or hang out at mortal places so Bedlam is kept at bay, but I do not work there. If someonne were to look at Siv King, daughter of a trucker, well, they'd probably think she was a do nothing without a job and that she was mooching off her parents. Bothers me a little, even if the truth is I risk my life now and then for good causes and help out plenty on the hold side"

"Siv. You are older by Wilder standards but by mortal ones you are barely legal. Mortals would not expect you to be fully independent and self-sustaining. Trust me on this."

"Yeah?" She tilts her head, "I suppose ... you're right. I cann't even legally drink yet.' She cheers up "Thanks, Da, that does make me feel a bit better"

His beard moves. "Good." as the dance ends.

A whisper "You should dance with mom more often, I think she likes it more than she lets on" And Siv whisks away to dance with Piper again

As she whisks, she may feel a sense of skeptcism from her father, but needn't let that stop her.

However, Brekke soons finds Frank at her side.

"Things going well?"

A deep, satisfied sigh, and a nod. "Very well. I think Jessica is uncertain about the wisdom of welcoming garou, but I think it was the right choice." She looks at him. "You?"

Meanwhile, Piper dances with Siv, and comments, "Dagmar's friends are an interesting lot. Are they all from her basketball team?" Oh, bless.

"I agree with you." he extends his hand "May I have this dance?"

She blinks, surprised, as they've already had their dance. A hesitant look around...but it is darker now, and they're on the outskirts of the group. She nods, taking his hand.

And they dance, a slow uncomplicated sway.

Siv whispers in Piper's ear "Love... there be progigals amongst us"

"Oh, that Lulu is a fine singer, though I don't know if I'd call her prodigal..."

Kerri pokes Olgar in the ribs. "Put those dancing shoes on, big guy," she says with a wink.

"I thought you'd never ask" Olgar flutters his lashes, then grabs his wife and takes her out to the floor

Siv smirks and says to piper "She's a werewolf , darling. A garou. Like lupe"

Kerri smiles and is happily grabbed. She and Olgar are not shy about owning their section of the dance area.

Piper blinks! "No fooling? You wouldn't be pulling my hoof, would you?" And then she casts a worried look up at the sky... it's getting late, soon the moon will rise - IS it a full moon tonight?

Fortunately, no, it is not a full moon on July 4th.

Olgar moves with more skill than most would expect from a big ugly son of a.. ya'know. And he and Kerri know each other's every step from years of practice and understanding. Why he might even get fancy with her so they can show the younng folks how it is done

Siv smiles "Nope, but let's keep it on the down low, they have hteir secrets too. I promise I'll tell you more later. Or ask Dagmar if you doubt."

"Speaking of which...." A small smirk, and she lowers her voice a bit as she twirls with Siv. "Do you see how she's checking out Lulu? More than just gratitude for a good song, there, I think..."

Oh, yes, Kerri's more than happy to show off the moves that usually only get shown at that dive bar they like so much.

Lulu takes Dagmar "Do you dance? If so, we should. If not, I can teach you!"

Meanwhile, Brekke and Frank dance on in their own small corner of a large-sized world.

Siv blinks "Lulu and Dags? Huh. Did not see that coming" A whisper

"I don't.. I don't really dance, not really... uh.. maybe when there's something faster?"

Behind Olgar and Kerri, Tiffany and Vali mime dirty dancing, as Valil takes a runningg leap, and Tiffanny Catches him and holds him up right (obviously a cantrip is involved)

Lulu nods, "Would you like me to show you how while you watch? " Despite how that might come across, there's an innocece in the wolf's borrn's eyes

BLUSH! "I bet you're a very good dancer. That'd.. skald, right?" She's trying!
