-----------------------------------

Meanwhile,in TJ/Fenix, Jessica sighs as a redcap lad tries to explain how grabbing mortals and doodling dicks on the facesof those weaker than him is protected by his right to create beauty and art. His parents are standing by him in this... but the Liams are irritated.

Looking for an excuse for a break? She might notice she's gotten a text from Vali

Jessica applauds the boys intent, and assigns him art lessons with the Liams until they feel his skills are sufficient, then checks her messages.

The Liams sigh, but Father V agrees to do so.

The Text reads: "Hey, Jessica! Your folks are back. And more. Mind if family visits?" And for some reason, there's an attached picture of a tall young woman with a smile, and who looks, very familiar in a lot of ways. Something about the hair and eyes and... huh. 16 or so?

Vali! Sure, or I can come there? New gf?

TEXT: "Oh NO, no nno...lovely girl, but a bit young for moi, also I have a girlfriend and she's a crackshot at 30 paces.But you really should meet her. Either way is fine. When woudl be best?"

Jess checks with her team, explaining her desire to go home, and unless there are issues, she lets Vali know she will be on the way.

Well, that works fine. A certain Eiluned nods, "I think, as today's 'trial' indicted, we've hit a slow down" //Diego is still chuckling "Loved the ruling."

It looks like all is set up.

And so away she goes, via Trod, Firnost, Everwyrd, and then Rivervale.
