Later, Dagmar marshals the troops for clean up. Kerri is gently rebuffed (but Olgar and Vali are not.)

Gerd says to Dagmar, "You sure you don'

t want more time with Symon?" She says "Brogan and I can handle this"

"Where do I start?" Pudge says, the boggan has been kept from pestering Anne Marie for help for his fellow Refugees, as apparently someone wanted to make sure she got a break, but he doesn't mind much. Instead the refugee is offering his help

"Sy needs some time out of spotlight. Pudge, if you want to help you can."

Olgar has come in, but quiet like.

"Where do you need me, ladies?" Olgar asks Dagmar and Gerd.

Gerd nods, "Heavy plate retrieval for Olgar sound good, Dagmar? Pudge, let's use your skills and let you work out of sight from most of us"

"Him and Cleo on dishes?"

"Good idea, Where is Cleo?" She looks over

"HERE" CLeo says "You'll let me help?"

"We'd LOVE you to help" Pudge insists, "You and I can dish while we dish... gossip that is"

Cleo smiles. Pudge has been kindly withh all kids, her included "Team boggan"

Olgar grunts and goes to get the heavier trays and plates easily

Brogan says "Who do we assign sweeping to? Lot of boots and shoes stormed in the lodge"

Decisions are made and jobs assigned. Gerd gets to tell Rowan their tasks, mind

Gerd notices this, nods and sees to it

Olgar does help Dagmar with her job a bit as he brings in large plates, privately saying "You're doing good here, Dagmar. Thanks for giving my wife some free time, but don't be surprised if she comesi nto the kitchen to relax" A chuckle "It's still her happy place"

"I mean, I can't judge. I'm happier busy than not at stuff like this."

Olgar nods at that, "We all got our happy places, or at least safe ones. Still, what you and Gerd ... AND Brogan" He says in case the squire snoops "is noticed and appreciated. " And with that, he gets to drop off a heavy tray for cleaning while Dagmar does her own work.

--- And it goes well---
