"Now, what information do you seek?"

Brekke nods appreciation for the caution, and she makes sure she's listening with the boon when she says, "A person we know has had recent difficulties with a group that seems to be somewhat known here." A glance at Frank to see if he's going to stop her before she says the name. She's not as good at this kind of caution as he is.

Frank's beard moves.

A slight nod to Frank before she continues. "Baron, does the term Cal-Bel have meaning for you?"

"Yes, I am sorry to say it is" The Baron scowls "Rumor and spy reports mix to paint a shakey picture but Cal-Bel is an anti Noble terrorist. One who has been involved with rabble rousing, theft, and threats to titled kithain"

"So Cal-Bel is an individual, not a group?"

"That is also under question... the Cal means they're based in California, he she or they resent the term Pacifica. It maybe a group is sharing the name Bel but what that stands for I don't know."

The Gwydion frowns "I fear it has been one of my frustrations thta we haven't been able to solidify more details. Even sluagh who are friendly to me have yet to determine all the facts for me. I will not blame them though, ultimately a leader is responsible "

Brekke's brow furrows a bit as she considers what the Baron said, and she finally shakes her head. "This is not much to go on. And we must find them. There has been an abduction."

She also listens for that 'ping' of her boon.

"Who has been abducted?" he inquires

"A mortal. Not kinain, but related to a prominent fae leader. That fae is receiving extortion messages."

"A mortal?" He seems surprised "THAT , to my knowledge, IS new. " Not once has he pinged in a lie, and seems to be forth coming "And what prominent leader? And..well, what mortal? Maybe there is more to go on"

The lack of falsehood encourages her. She thinks it may be a risk, but she says, "The noble is Countess Jessica of Renaissance. The mortal is her birth mother."

"Countess Jessica, the Flamefree? The Houseless radical? They went after the mother of one who pushes town halls? That is... mind boggling. "

"As I understand it, the town halls are not enough. They want more."

"A mortal? That's... wicked. Baroness. I can't speak for all Gwydions, but most Falcons I know are more concerned with kithain than daughters of Eve. Is there anything, besides the relation, that would make this particular daughter of eve stand out? Is she a Kinain who is frequently enchanted?"

"She has been enchanted, yes, but I do not know about frequency." A look to Frank -- does he have an idea on this?

He shakes his head. No way to know.

"It may have been a matter of opportunity," she suggests.

"At this point, I think your husband's house maybe more in the know than ours, my fellow Falcon," The Baron ponders "You have asked for discretion, would you be willing to allow me to summon one of the Liam of this court? Oh and can you tell me the name of the relation?"

After a moment, Brekke nods. "Please, summon them. And the name is ((fill in the blank for the player who is currently blanking, please))."

Gruffydd nods "I shall send for him"

(Pause)

OOC The name of the relation who was kidnapped is Regina Blaine.
