#anywhere

Davey/V turns out to be a charming young man, very exotic looking, lithe and confusing to those who have Bisexual tendencies and didn't know it. He greets the Baron and Baroness with a formal bow full of ballet like grace, and then dares a quick hug "Thank you both so much for bringing my brother back."

Coradel returns the hug easily and happily. "He brought himself back. We just helped him to get the last leg of the trip."

Linda is just delighted to have both her boys together

August is, of course, more reserved but not unfriendly.

Davey says "So this Earth Runes, what job does Vince have there? I mean, he said something about libations?"

Linda fusses, "V, it's so simple even teenager could card it, he's clearly the fountain of joy and tears at this Earth Room"

Coradel smiles at Linda. "Well, he's certainly that. But he's also our resident mixologist, and he's rather brilliant at the job."

"My boy, a mixologist! Laying down the fresh beats and the DJ sounds!" Delighted

"Ah...well," Coradel looks from Linda to V for help about whether that is pooka-speak or if the woman is genuinely confused.

"She means a bartender, mom. Not surprised, he's always had a gift for hearing other people's troubles" Davey says

"That he does. We do have a senior bartender, Jack, who was part of the hold even before I arrived, and he is splendid, but Whiskers does more experimental work."

"He as much confessed to that to his father" Linda nods

Coradel's smile fades a bit. "I did mean to ask...are you well secure from the man? Or does he still have some influence on your lives?"

"Actually," Davey looks to his mom, then speaks. Clearly he's used to being the translator "Dad only got violent once, but once was enough for mom to get me out of there. That was years ago. We can handle him now if need be. I've thought about revealing who I am... folks keep saying I don't look like a Vince, wahtever that means"

August frowns, listening.

Linda notices the look, "Pennywise for your thoughts?" to August

Coradel nods as V talks. "I am glad you didn't put up with him at that point. I hear stories of women who do, and they don't end well."

"I regret you had to go through that." He explains.

Linda pats August "After that I became quite the heathen, rejecting all things about god. Because, as you know, my husband wasn't just a client, he was also the president." A reassuring smile.

"Mom still goes to Church" V translates

Coradel is amused by Linda's reassurances.

"Are you two well cared-for by the local nobility? Hm...I'm not even sure whose County this is...."

"Some of my biggest patrons though I'm not a member of the court" Davey says

"Patrons?"

"Oh sure, they pay for shows and so on" He says "I'm a dancer"

"Always tripping over his own feet" Linda fusses

"Excellent. I'd like to see you perform, sometime. Oh, perhaps you could both come and visit EarthRunes, and we could sponsor a performance in the area?"

Linda beams "See where my son mixes a logogist? Oh..."

"Well, of course! You must visit." And Coradel starts describing some of the amenities of EarthRunes with pride.

"oh I'm just an old worn out suitcase"

But her lizard tail sways

"Nonsense! We'll be delighted to have you there!"

"We'll definitely go"

That from Davey! Who smiles
