Clem looks at Zara at that, a touch of curiousity herself . mmm. A sign she is hear to talk to if her friend needs that

Then Clem says "Samhain seems to be sticking to me like white on rice"

"Well, perhaps tis needful."

"Vince, while oft a lover - would you be interested in educating the wicked?"

"Oh, I often seek out the wicked. Why, just the other day, Dame Leonora needed a spanking..." but he looks intrigued!

"We might be using a rougher paddle" Clem says

"Oh? Has any offended thy honor, my ladies? Shall I remove the velvet from mine paws?"

"I hope not. The velvet is part of your charm, you are, after all, a most noble lion..."

"And the dead? The dead may not learn."

"In short she means I can't kill anyone. I just feel like a hunt, Vince. Best it's directed against nazis and surprimecists"

"Forgive, Clementine. But you knew this when you sought me."

"Perhaps then, just the tippy nails. I shall score upon them their lessons to learn well, an it please thee?"

"I think I counted on it, Zara. We both know Unseelie doesn't mean we're monsters"

"I am, in sooth, Lover more than Fighter, but when those fight against love, then the lover must fight."

Then she says to Vince "Sure, was thinking of making it a girl's hunt out, but a pooka's creativity can be useful." She eyes his mane and touches it, "Damn, yours is softer tahn mine"

"Oh, but I am a monster. A nightmare, at least. A witch, certainly..."

"Perhaps I may show you my shower mane routine?" And he offers, "Should this be for Ladies, I shan't intrude. But say the word, and I will pace until thy return to tell the tale."

"Vince is a hale companion..." Zara offers to Clem.

"Come on, Vince. Anyone worthy of the Witch, is good enough for me. We'll be heading to KC, a city that's wild and untamed and dangerous. But we'll protect you"

"My brave protectoresses! To the hunt?"

"We shall three be knownst as the Lion, the Witch, and the.... forgot a piece of her wardrobe." He grins rakishly at her bare abdomen.

"Let's just say I'm proud of my core strength and want fellows to know that a squeeze play could require healing after" A wink "Come on you smooth talker" And Clem starts to lead them to the trods

He bows to let Zara go first, then follows, tail swishing eagerly to the rear.

Zara sends a message to Earl via Quatre, but 1122 hitches a ride along with the trio.

And off to KC they go
