#anywhere

Tig looks around"Weird as it is, this place is nice. Kind of soothing."

Jess nods. "If you can stay long enough, you might check out the other holdings. The Pit is ying to this yang. Tidemarch is ruled by a Sidhe but it has beachfront. And Skyhook is a crafter cooperative."

"You should try the springs here, they'll fix you right up."

"Variety. Sometimes I think Rivervale could use a small fief in it. Something big nough for a thane whos served loyaly. A hot tub with a TV and a teeny balefire"

"mm springs? Oh heard about that" He beams

"Tig, with Lut living elsewhere, where do -you- live now?"

"Oh I have full use of the hold anytime I need it... but I've got this apartment I make a living out of.. thought about moving to THE apartments but" he shrugs

"Tell you what, let's get cleaned up, I'll find something to keep this in (the helmet) and let's catch up? We'll eat, or something. Ok?"

"Mroop?" Ramona twists around Jessica's ankles.

"Sure" he says "Look foward to.. don't look now, but you have Cat-ankle."

"Hi Ramona.... where's your girls?"

"Mrop."

"oh the girls have cats" Nancy explains to Tig "Holger too. We have oh, my a lot of cats. And Jessica has a dog"

"Jessica has a dog?" A smile

"Oh, he's bonkers for her. "N ancy says "gets on her bed a lot"

"Yeah, the animals just kind of... showed up."

"Showed up" A smirk "I think Jessica has been taking lessons on how to find her inner Snow White by Ellie"

"Hey."

"Okay, see, I would pay to see Jessica in a Snow White outfit" he says eyes twinkling

"Oh me too." A look from Nancy "Carnival idea!"

"No."

"Nancy, why don't you get Tig set up somewhere here for a few days? I'm going to get cleaned up."

Ramona climbs Jessica's leg. Tiny claws!

"come on, Tig. Walk this way" She leads on

He watches her walk "Not sure my hips work like that, but I'll follow" Then a nod "Later, Jessica"

and off they go

"Oh Jeeze......" She bends down and scoops up the kitten, making her hands full since she has the helmet in the other. "See you, Tig. C'mon you guys, let's get settled."

Ramona peers into the helmet!

"WUB!"

And plushie kitten face hug!

"No no no!!!" Jessica walks off trying to pull them apart.

And while Romana might swat and pat at the thing on her face, it does come off with help ... fortunately, the kitten has learned her.. oh god is she going after it again?

Jessica hugger/kitten wrangles

and goes to get cleaned up
