With all her things moved from the old van to the new and supper eaten, Rowan had time to talk to everyone personally.

Everyone was gathered at the family table or near it, making it easy for her to speak to each person. When she got to Tannr she laughed and hugged him.

“I havent even done anything for you. Thank you so much...”

Raina laughed, “You will see him at some point I imagine, considering what a klutz he always was...”

“Was sister, was... not so much anymore.” Tannr took the teasing good-naturedly, knowing his sister was right, but also knowing that years on the Unformed Plane changed a man. No one who had seen him wield a sword would ever describe him as a klutz.

Tori comes up behind Tannrs chair and wraps her arms around his neck. “Hey... I need to check a few things on my computer. Excuse me for a bit?”

“Sure, I'll be right here.”

“Okay. As long as you're sure...” Tori teases.

“Red...” Tannr turns his head to face her, “I'm not going anywhere.”

They share a brief passionate kiss that leaves them both smiling and Tori heads to the bar to retrieve her laptop.

Alise had been watching the exchange and sends to Stoney, I can hardly believe that is your sister.

Stoney replies, I know. She must truly have feelings for the man. Raina and Erik are good people, I hope Tannr is the same...

Ob and Pandora had been speaking to Rowan when Ob picked up on the comments made by his brother and sister in law. He signals Patti as he takes a seat and orders a round for the table.

The conversation ebbs and flows. The women talk to Pandora about how she is feeling with this latest pregnancy. The men discuss the patrols and what other action can be taken.

Ob watches Tannr, gently teasing Star about taming all her animals and that their place will soon be a zoo if she isnt careful.

"Our Star has a talent for taming wild things... " He drapes an arm around his wife and nods toward his sister. Tori's concentration could be seen from where she sits at a corner of the bar. Woe betide the person who disturbs her. He grins at Tannr. "If I didn't know you were Kin to Erik and not her, I would say you share her gift."

Tannr laughs, “Red's wild? Seems rather civilized to me...”
