"And once you're a wilder, cootie shots don't work!"

"I guess that's one I hadn't heard of" Theresa says to both "But ..well, that's natural isn't it?"

"Bbbtt" Felicity raspberries natural

"Felicity, manners" Theresa fusses

"Sorry" Felicity mutters

"Well, there's a piskie who NEVER had a togail."

"And he finds other childlings who don't want to grow up, and there's a special star-trod to a realm in the Dreaming with pirates and mermaids and adventure for as long as you wish!"

"PEter Pan is a PIskie?" Theresa considers "That makes sense"

"But wendy was Eiluned kin..you could tell by how curious she was to go along" Felicity wants in on this

"Oh, I could see that. And she was smart."

"Do you think Nana was a pooka?"

"MAYBE" Fellicity says excitedly "I bet they all had at least fae blood like our... your mom"

"Yeah! Like Mom!"

"THank you girls. I admit, I do enjoy that benefit from time to time"

"I'm glad we're allowed to enchant you now. Not like before." Before, when the baron wouldn't even spare glamour for full-blooded childlings...

"Well, I have to balance it out" She bends down to hug them "But I'm glad too. " A squeeze "My life felt very gray before you let me see your world. It was a good life because of you, Irene, but now with all of you , it's a great life. thank you"

Irene responds with a happy little hum and a tight hug.

And, just like her little 'treasures,' she doesn't mind sharing the hug with Felicity, either.

Nope. Feliicity says "I'm glad too"

The hug, sadly must end , but when it does "Okay girls. Your choice. You go hide and I go seek, OR... we could make popcorn and watch Sleeping Beauty "

A happy sigh. All is well. "Ohhh. Popcorn!"

"Sleeping Beauty?" A brow from Felicity "is that somene's favorite?"

"Mom's."

"Mine" Her mom nods "I love the animation ... and the owl is adorable" She does not mention the crush on the Prince she had

"Malificent is a badass. You should keep your promises with faeries."

"You should" A nod from Felicity "Can the popcorn have butter?"

"Of course it can have butter"

"Yay!"

And they soon have popcorn, and a movie starting up. The big sofa has room for Three!

Irene flops down on one side of her Mom, head on her lap.

And soon, her mother's fingers are brushing her hair lightly while all admire the story of a fairy battle of Winter and Summer....with a few mortal royals too
