TXT: Dad? Siv sent a text

It takes a while; he does tend to keep the phone on silent.....

TXT: Siv? Where are you? Need help?

TXT: At the auction. Wanted to know if you liked anything on this list?

And she sends the list

A long pause.

TXT: Not for myself. Have you asked your mother?

TXT: Asking you, this isn't a mountain thing, this is a I value my da's opinion thing. Thinking of getting the helm for Dagmar but not sure

TXT: I am sure Dagmar would value any gift you offered.

TXT: Okay. Any opinions on any of the items?

TXT: For Dagmar? Combat-driven.

TXT: Okay. What about Mom? She's not answering texts. What do you think she would like?

TXT: Same, but let me see I talk her.

Frank's texting skills are....

TXT: Dad. She's busy I'm sure. Leave it be

TXT: Do you need help?

TXT: Nah. Unless you want to come over... which is fine. I'm doing okay

TXT: More than okay, I'm sure.

TXT: Thanks dad. Rough patch in some areas. High notes in others. I should have brought Kassedy, there are kids here. Hope she's reading up on the books I gave her to study.

If Frank checks, the girl is reading intently a huge ass book, history from the troll perspective
