Dutch proves to be a good guest.

And in the morning, set up a big pot of coffee

There are certainly more than enough at the Lodge to see to that! Likely a few of the regulars are there, or stop in, and introduce themselves.

Frank is up bright and early. It's so close to the holiday/holidays that he has declined offers of work (and MO-NAY!!) to be close to home.

"No trouble, least I can do. " Dutch tells folks

Siv seems surprised "If you're sure, Mister..."

"Dutch, just Dutch, young lady, mmm pretty lasses here, if I were 20 years younger I'd enjoy being rejected by you" He chuckles

Siv smiles at that, and brings her Dad a cup of coffee, admitting to him "Okay, he's all right"

"Mmmmphm." just an edge of a growl there? A hint of rumble?

"Dutch, have you been introduced to my youngest daughter, Siv? Siv, this is Dutch."

"AH, daughter..." A tone of apology in his voice? Or at least understanding, "Pleased to meet you proper, Siv."

Siv smiles "Nice to meet you, Dutch" A grunt to her dad ("Daaad, he was complimenting is all.")

Frank just sips his coffee and puts together a breakfast out of the usual spread the Hearth corp puts out on the regular.

"Smells heavenly" Dutch admits "Reminds me of this little nook diner near Omaha, Kelly's Pot? Ever been there, Frank?"

"Heard chatter." he says.

"Oh it's nicee. Kelly has kin and friends working with honest smiles, and the food is homey"

"Kith?"

"Kinain, Boggan blooded, some of her family are kithain though. Boggan and a Piskie in fact."

"Mm." Frank nods. To be fair, he's also eating.

The breakfast is hearty

"Dutch, get something to eat." Frank urges.

Oh, he's got some, put in front of him by Siv

"Thank you" Ad he dines "Sorry, I talk when I should eat sometimes" He admits

He doees alk, but he eats too

"So they figured it would take a couple days to get your rig running; how can we make your stay pleasant?"

"Give me something to do to help out now and then. I don't mind the comfortable life, but I need to chip in or it nags"

"We can always use another to share in patrols."

"Happy to help" He nods

Siv says "We'll give you a way to call for help so you donn't have to fight"

Dutch laughs "Darling, Clurichaun see a good brawl as a way of saying hello, but I can and do draw steel if I have to"

"Siv, you want to show Mr. Dutch around?"

"Just Dutch, Rigger"

"Sure, " Siv says

And she gives him the tour

While Frank has another cup of coffee
