"You think a text will do? Not a personal visit? You know their temperament better than I."

"Ah, that word is very difficult," Brekke says, but there's an undertone of amusement.

Frank sees to fresh water for the horses.

Gerd ponders "A text would do for Dame Gladiola I THINK, but you're right. The Baron would prefer to know in person. I'll visit. Forgive me Eddie, but... " She takes pictures

"And the word is falk."

"Falk- Dream of Adams... " Testing some out

Brekke nods and finishes working on the stalls.

Eddie gives a LOOK as the pictures are taken

Frank lifts an eyebrow but says nothing.

"Heck, not a priority right now I guess" Gerd says putting the camera away "The names I mean. I just ..wow. I can't wait to show Connor"

She pets Eddie "Sorry, Eddie. We'll give you and them some privacy now and then, honestly. " A stroke "And don't worry, doesn't matter how many stick around, or don't. You'll always be my girl"

A grin. "Connor will be very pleased." ((Understatement of the century.))

"Edie, are you hungry?"

Edie looks up at that with interest. WHo would have thought making these little guys would build up such an appetite?

"I will fetch food. I think it will not harm the mother to have a treat as well."

"Signe, come."

Signe follows dutifully, but she's young enough to look pleased that she's getting some attention too.

Frank stays and tidies up after the horse-chores.

Gerd rises "Oh I better get dressed for court"

Brekke goes back to the kitchen. "Signe, you must help guard Edelweiss while the pups are small, yes?"

Signe gives all signs of readiness to serve. She is Silver Wolf trained, and Troll beloved. There is no duty she is afraid of. (Though she has her doubts about baths)

A bowl of regular dog food...and a bowl of some of the party leftovers, including an excellent chewing bone. And for her service, Signe gets a bone as well.

There are plenty to go around, after all. Kerri is certain to make sure all the dogs get one.

They return to the stables and deliver the food. (Well, Signe keeps her bone.)

Indeed, Eddie has blankets, food, lots of love, and a promise that crowds will not be allowed to linger overlong so her pups can have SOME privacy

And the pups? Well, they're gonna be just fine... though, keep an eye on that runt
