"Well...you didn't lose anybody, at least not that we know of, and I think we would have figured it out by now."

"And you have your own ship to be risky with, now." An unnecessary reminder. "So no need to discuss it with her now."

"Aye, the Narwhal's my baby" Siv says then belches "Pardon"

"Better out than in" Tiffany says "Look, you guys need me, you've got me chipped" She touches her phone "I just wanted to thank you both"

"Cover your mouth." An automatic comment to Siv.

"It was quite the thank you," Kerri says, nodding towards the pizza. "You are very welcome, and please, Thane, let me sit for Theon again sometime when this particular season is done."

Tiffany gives the Hearth a hug for that

The hug is returned with a grin. "We need to keep you in fighting form."

"And not fighting with the Mountain."

Tiffany blushes "I do sometimes get a bit bitchy"

Siv fights a smile at that

"You do it well," Kerri grins and winks.

"De Naghtya" The pooak says humble then looks to Siv

"I'll be better with it after Samhain" Siv promises "Go on, Tiff. We're good. Patrol for me maybe?"

Tiffany salutes and heads out

Siv looks at Kerri "Really nice of you to watch Theon for them"

"It's important to balance out burdens, and though Theon is sweet, every working mother needs a break now and then. I had the benefit of being home all the time as Hearth when Sylvi was that age. Tiffany has a job as well as duties as Thane, and I don't at all mind helping her. Besides...it's nice to have a little one around sometimes."

A look over. "You're not planning on whelping any time soon, are you?"

A blush, then a shake of her head "I mean, one day, yes I would like to have a kid. " Almost causually said "I was raised by good people. I'd like to pass on the wisdom they taught to someone small and wonderful but I'm not ready now"

Which maybe the first open confession Kerri has heard that Siv plans to have a family. Or is it the unseelie making the girl sloppy with the notion? too casual?

"Hmm..." An equally casual sound as she makes some mental calculations. "Well, there's certainly no rush. But it might not hurt for you to help with Theon now and then, too. Get practice with baby care."

Siv stops then considers "After samhain maybe. I won't be clean enough like this for a kid"

"Absolutely true. I wouldn't let you near him."

"Geez, I'm not going to eat the boy" a chuckle

Then she sniffs at her armpit to double check if she's toxic yet

"The shower's free," Kerri notes helpfully.

"GEE, thanks" Siv says dryly but she puts note on the notes she was doing "Okay okay. I'll go wash up. You might want to see if Ives is finished cleaning that turkey. He offered to but i don't think you heard him. His unseelie side might be of the 'If you din't deny, he gets to try' atittude"

"He's an experienced hunter. I'm sure he's doing it right." That's what she's saying, anyway. Generous of her. But she will check on him as soon as Siv's en route to the shower.

"Or he could be putting things in the WRONG containers" Siv gasps melodramaticly, then smirks, and walks off

"Careful, Pillar," she says, but without much vigor.

Turns out, no, no crisis with Ives... as she directs him WHERE to put things now that the turkey is cleaned
