Frank is listening to his phone as he enters the Lodge.

She finds Siv warming by the bale

An irritated grunt at the phone, and he tries dialing.

(OOC Calling Brekke)

He lifts his free hand to greet Siv.

His daughter is half faded but nods weakly "Hey da"

"Siv?" Alarmed, he heads over, phone held loosely.

"Hey dad. It's okay. Bale will fix me up"

She says it a bit blandly shedding banality

Frank kneels at her side. "Tell me what happened."

"I was looking for ..For Bunni, and signs" She says "Went to some shelters"

"Found her. You know better than this, Siv."

"I'm good at gathering intell da. Met an autumn person"

"Siv....." Frank sounds frustrated.

"Sorry da, didn't seek her out on purpose . She runs a homeless shelter. Nasty woman. Full of poison sugar"

"Kept treating everyone like pitable pathetic failures. "

"So let's bring Anne Marie in on it, see what she thinks." Frank stands and gets her a Glamourous glass of water, putting the bracelet with the rest of Adam's 'gifts.'

"Da... I've already texted her with a warning" Siv says "And don't waste yoru glamour for me, the fire will restore"

"I'm your father, I'm allowed." He hands her the glass.

"Mmmph" she takes it, "Grown woman, can handle myself" She drinks

"Thank you." he sits near her "We found Bunni."

"She okay?" her mein is less gray

A familiar tread outside.

"I think she will be. -Can- be. She's got food available, a room if she wants one, and a phone. I'll follow up with....." Frank turns to the door.

It opens, and Signe trots in first, looking back over her shoulder to Brekke who follows and shuts the door.

She takes in the scene and her eyes widen. "What has happened?" she says as she goes directly to Siv.

Siv's horns look still ...vague, her luster not there. "Found An Autumn person, running a homeless shelter"

"Told Anne Marie by text " She adds

"Mmmphm."

"Oh, Siv..." She goes down on one knee next to the cot. "You must be cautious...." Whatever else is going on, this is where her worry is suddenly completely focused.

She strokes her silver hand over Siv's head where her horns should be more pronounced than they are, and feeds her a bit of her own glamour through the touch.

"Mor, jeg var ikke redd. Jeg er Fiona. " But then the hair touch and she bends her head a bit "it was worse than fear, it was like.. all she said about how 'sad' I was was true... it was a defeat without fear."

"She's a grown woman." Frank repeats in a dry tone.

the glamour feeds her further "I have the fire" She reminds "And yes, I'm a grown woman"

A slight grin at the Norwegian, and then a frown again. "Sad?"

"We'll let Anne Marie know."

"It's how she ..operates. Anyone who comes in, she tells them how SAD they are and how they'll get help from their wretched pathetic selves.... She acted like I must have been prostituting myself on the street.. and after ten minutes I almost ..' A deep breath

then a look at her dad "For the third time, I texted her, she knows"

not irritated, just trying to cut through his worry and remind her she does intell for a living

Frank rubs at the base of his horns. "Right. Sorry. I'm ... distracted."

Brekke looks angry about the Autumn Person. "She must be dealt with. Removed."

"It's okay, da. I know I've scared you abit. Sorry" Then a look to her mother "I was hoping Anne Marie might give her a bad report or something, get paperwork on her butt without even going near her. " An admission "Then again I am more ..vulnerable than most to Autumns"

A nod. "She will know how best to work within the system." She's checking Siv's color. "And you must rest."

"Is that the order of a chief, or the insistence of a mother? " A bit of a smile

Frank goes to get Brekke a cup of coffee and brings it to her.

"Both." A slight grin, then she stands and turns to Frank, accepting the coffee mug. A quiet whisper: "We should show her."

"Well, no fighting the double whammy" She says "Besides, Da will just make it three fold. I'll rest by the fire"

A tilt at the head as they whisper but she can't make it out.

Frank nods agreement. "Bunni had another item when we met today. That bracelet." He indicates it where it rests with the other 'gifts.' "Siv, you have seen all of these?"

"I Haven't seen the bracelet" Siv says and looks over

Brekke picks up the bracelet.
