"I doubt that," she says about the story.

Brow

"Put it down, and tell the tale."

he winces... "Ah, well.. ' he goes in and puts it down, then comes back "Honest, It's a bit... embarrasing"

"Not to make too big a deal of it? I got propositioned" And... Dagmar's boon indicates it's utterly true. Someone offered Uncle Olgar.. uh.. favors. And Kerri's Wife dar reads that no, he is NOT bullshitting "Soooo" he says changing the subject "This little guy lives in Duluth huh?"

Brows go up, eyes go wide...and then the hands are on the hips and her look is very narrow again. "Spill it."

"Well..." he pulls her aside to the kitchen, allowing Dagmar some space so she doesn't have to think about her uncle and sex

(Pause for the couple, but Dagmar can continue)

Bilbo looks at Dagmar as if to ask what that was about?

"Being a couple is complicated."

Snort

"Well, it is!"

Oak comes in, sees Bilbo, and barks excitedly!

"Oh jeez, Oak..."

Bilbo has hidden behind Dagmar

Oak looks so excited, then he sniffs, and... his wagging tail stops

"What?"

Frank follows Oak in, carefully tapping his boots clean (ish) before stepping inside.

"Hey Frank."

Oak just looks dissapointed

And Bilbo peeks out

"Oak, what is it?"

"Hello, Dagmar. What word?"

Dagmar knows dogs, and Oak was excited to see Bilbo until he got a good look. Clearly not who he was hoping for

"Well, I know his person's name. Sounds like a sidhe in Duluth."

"Oak seems disappointed."

Frank can look at Bilbo's size and guess why. He probably thought it was one of his puppies here

BIlbo however bounces up now, reassured, and tries to make friends!

Oak bumps noses, gives a tiny wag, but it's mostly him being nice

"Mm. So we need to get Bilbo here home."

She nods. "Olgar's gonna map out the way to Duluth."

"Mm. Good that Bilbo will be home. You taking him?"

At the word 'home' Bilbo spins happily

"Yeah. Probably with Sy."

"Good."

"Wonder where that cap came from, though."

"He ran off soon as he could."

Grin.

"Yeah."

"Mmphm. He is well cared for." approving "Pardon me." and Frank excuses himself.

Bilbo looks up at Dagmar

"Soon."

Wag and he plops near her feet

When Dagmar sits down... Bilbo leaps into her lap... and... well, she's waiting anyway so

(Fade to petting)

(In the Kitchen) "Okay, three wilder women on a quest hunt thing... they caught their deer, but ended up pissing off a chimera when one of hteir arrows almost hit it during the hunt. They wanted to 'repay their debts' and said 'beltaine was close'.. and I don't get it. they weren't drunk... and this face has discouraged folks... " he shrugs "More than that, i'm old enough to be their.. sunday school teacher"

Kerri listens with her arms folded. "Seems they saw past whatever discourages most...and they better have kept their paws off."

"Don't worry.. .the two of them backed off when I said I was married"

Wait... the math shifted there

A blink. "Two. And the third...?"
