Dirk goes after his own wobbly one... aNd the redcap and grump troll are gone into Bergen once more

Frank doesn't get far before he hears a familiar voice say his name. Brekke approaches from the road, a large duffel slung over her shoulder.

His beard moves, and his eyes light up but he gestures to the wisp.

... which is starting to get away.

She returns the fond look, then notes the wisp. A raised brow, then she nods him after it as she drops her duffel where it is and goes to join him in the pursuit.

"What are you seeking?"

"You got my message about the mystery woman with the carving of the Lodge and painting of Siv?"

"I did. This is that?"

"Yes. Street name is Bunni, not sure how that's spelled. I found an encampment she's been to and through but doesn't stay at. I might have someone who would let me know if he sees her but... you know how it is; can't be -too- interested."

She keeps pace with him easily, keeping an eye on the wisp as they go. "I have not heard of her. Has anybody Whispered the items?"

"Not that I know of. I left them in the Lodge when I went to look for the red-haired woman, Bunni. Vali was there."

A few paces of silence, then a nod. "I will do so when we return." A glance over to him and another slight grin. It is good to be with him again.

Somehow the two have picked up dogs

The wisp keeps going forward

He glances back at her, and smiles.

He reaches over to touch her hand, maintains contact.

She keeps the contact of the touch, then glances down at the pup at her heel. "Good girl, Signe."

"She missed you. She was not alone."

"It is good to be back, and to be with you. The Count sends his greetings, by the way."

"I hope you gave him mine."

She nods.

A soft grunt; Good, thank you.

Signe wags furiously

"Besides this Bunni, all is well at the Lodge?"

"Mm. You might speak with Vali. He was ... he did not seem prepared to take the lead as the remaining member of the Triad. But, it was his first time, I think, so...."

"But he did well, if cautiously?"

"I would not judge him." after a moment.

A curious glance at the phrasing, but the wisp takes a flickering turn, and she focuses on it again, not to lose it.

Frank's eyes haven't left it.

Well.... a few glances at Brekke....

THe wisp leads them down the road and away towards the suburbs

Brekke automatically checks their surroundings as they go, as on a quickly-paced patrol.

McGillicudy grumbles as those WeIrDOs walk past, but otherwise it seems uneventful. The Wisp keeps a brisk but steady pace as it moves along with two trolls and two dogs behind it. They dogs enjoy the smells and effort , signe almost sure if she's not careful Brekke may vanish on her again. It takes time, but they get to the town, the ware house district.

Well, at least an area with warehouses, that niche area. Frank has been here before

Brekke likes this area less, and keeps an alert watch as they go.

He keeps a sharp eye out; if he knows of a space people tend to crash then they have no where else to go, he looks there as he follows the wisp.

And then, it starts to climb up the wall on the Devlin and Sons warehouse.

"In there, and up." Frank murmurs in a rumble. He looks for an exterior staircase.

(Fire escape, etc)

THere is in fact, a fire escape, that suspiciously, looks recently used

"Mmphm." Frank has thoughts about that, but goes over to take a closer look; safe?

It should hold even a troll but it won't be stealthy

"I will go up and work downwards. You go inside. Agreed?"

"This will be noisy." he indicates the fire escape but is looking around for an exterior ground-floor door?

She shakes her head, and makes a quick bunk, putting one hand out flat, palm up, then using two fingers of her other hand to mime a person on a trampoline...one, two-o-o, three, BOING!!!

And up she Hopscotches.

The doors on the ground level appear locked ...

and Brekke hops up, and lands on a roof ...

with a tent on it

Frank watches her go, sighs, and goes to test the doors....
