"You should keep the Ariel doll. I mean, you're Ariel."

A blush "Well, hooves isntead of fish tail but... really? I.. well, if you say it's okay"

"But you have to bring her when you come play! Rapunzel will miss her."

"I will" She promises then "Maybe I can go a shearing early? I'm not a wilder.. but the Chief is letting some of us travel more"

"oh, shearing is like this.. uh. chance to see the world thing like the Amish do.. only we have TVs an phones"

"Well, if your brother is here...."

"And the Countess is a troll, so she has to be a good influence. Trolls are very honorable. You can trust them, unless they're green."

"Well, when they go green they're unseelie. Not many on the farm" She says "But some. "

"And... yeah" She says "I... I need to ask the Chief, and the Countess both I guess? "

"You can keep Ariel anyways, though."

She clucthes the doll "Thank you"

"And my brother's at the farm, my cousin is here.. but maybe my brother.. yeah"

the satyress cheers up

"Oh, sorry! Okay."

"No don't be... it's more like an adoptive cousin.. so many DeBukes I.. makes my head hurt"

"That sounds nice, though."

"Well, it does mean it never gets lonely" She ponders something then nods as if her mind is made up.

"I've been to a farm before. Do you have chickens? They're funny."

"A few chickens, they've got a rooster who always makes noise at dawn... " A sniff "Chicken coops smell bad"

"Oh, and there are cows. Those are cool. And horses"

"Mostly there are lots and lots of vegtables. "

"Oh, stinky isn't fun." Nose-wrinkle.

"You get used to some of it, but yeah" She laughs

"I'd take you to the farm to see but they might not let you in, they're kind of.." Embarrassed, "Well, anti noble? "

"Oh... "

"Well, some nobles are bad. That's why you need good ones, to keep them from taking over and protect commoners."

"Well, we don't really need them at all, we run things ourselves... well," She ponders "The trolls do. They got a Chief and a Storm and a Hearth and a Mountain and they handle things with suggestions from everyone."

Brow furrowed. "But what if there's a crisis? You need someone in charge."

"Yeah, that would be Chief Clem." A nod "She's nice.. taught me some spring arts."

"Oh, see? So you have someone. Trolls are the second best nobles."

"They are?" She says "I guess that makes sense. " Unsure but considering "They want to look after EVErY body"

"That's why they led so much when the sidhe were gone." She nods.

A lower voice 'Sometimes, they get kind of bossy though.. and 'don't touch that, you could get hurt' and 'don't leap on that, you could slip' and oh 'the bees won't like that'"

SIGH. "I think that's just grownups."

"Trolls are like UBER Grown up. Even the wilders get fussy"

"Wow."

"Yep. Like big blue boggans but quieter" She plays with her name sake doll's hair

"There's boggans here. Miss Rosa and Miss Maria."

"They're so nice! Miss Rosa has kids."

"They seem nice"

"oh" A grin "Changeling kids?"

She shakes her head. "Regular kids, she said."

"Oh.. that's a shame, you can't tell them ANYTHING" a sigh

"Did you try wishing for Childings your age to show up? You're like a princess..maybe it will happen?"

"I'm a Countess, not a Princess... and, you know, being a real princess is not all that great, I don't think."

"Not like a disney one, they can have adventures and go wherever they want."

"Oh" A pause "i'm sorry. You probably will have to marry some guy for politics don't you?" A nose wrinkle "Yuck"

"Oh, probably. But I had to leave after I got sained because I'm Seelie, Gerald said."

"And being a Countess means that I could take over but that would be bad for the Balor."

"Balor suck" A snort
