The Satyr's eyes flare right back and he only just reins in his temper, normally such a mild-mannered fellow that one might even forget his horns and hooves. He gives a sharp bow to Nadeen as she pulls rank... "Baroness. I will take my leave."

She takes a breath, then says "of course. I only wanted to help, Julius. She does love you though. Please donn't forget that" She lets go and backs away

"She has an awful hot and cold way of showing it sometimes." He says back, and stiffly trots away, heading back towards his car. The gift box, for now, seemingly forgotten with Gwen.

The bunny nibbles at something, chew chew chew chew.

Gwen sighs "The Steward is.. he's sometimes gotten on my nerves, but he's a good guy. And he does love Bluebell... we've got to help them find each other or.. oh hey" At the nibbling

Nadeen sighs "Julius is dedicated to his duties. That's not a crime. I think perhaps it rankled me that he ignored me, unfairly. He is in turmoil. But my god. He makes it hard to patch things up when he won't talk to those that would be his allies. The man nneeds to work on communication period"

The wee bun is working intently on the corner of a small envelop that was tucked inside the box

"Huh" Gwen says

"There's an ennvelope"

Nadeen takes it "Thanks for managingg the rabbit, Gwen. I'll take a look at this. Perhaps find some food for the little lady or fellow"

Is it sealed?

It's half chewed up at this point, but she can open it, and see that there is a slip of paper inside, on light purple cardstock - seems to be a gift card/note.

"Oh no" The Sidhe sighs and looks over the note

"Oh good grief." Nadeen says "if only he'd had time" She says "I have to find Blue bell"

The little rex swallows, and he - it does seem to be a he! Reaches for Gwen's sleeve to nibble on.

"Okay. To the ggrass you go" Gwenn finds a patch of clovers for him

And the sidhe is off and.. undignified, RUNNING, Chewed note in hand

"Bluebell!" She calls out

MONCH, MONCH, MONCH! He starts in on the clover!

Lavender had a head start but was comfortinng Bluebell or tryinng to if she could find her

"Oh, Bluebell? She said she had to go to yoga class. A lovely day for it to. Though I did wonder that she'd give some young yogi a bit of a show if she tried to downward-dog in that dress she was wearing." Marigold is telling Lavender. "I think she had a change of clothes in her bag. Smart, the weather is so uncertain in Spring. Layers! Layers is where it's at, or you'll catch a chill. Now, even with the damp, did I tell you, I'm feeling a dozen years younger..." The boggan seems ready to go on at length!

Nadeenn groans "oh no. the two of them... they .."

"Nadeen, oh, you're just in time. I was going to ask Dame Lavender to try these new cookies I am readying for Beltaine. Tea, dear?"

Lavender turns "Huh? Reeve, look, Bluebell probably isn' up to an apology no matter how well intennded"

"Oh I don't have time," Nadeen says "I think Julius is being treated unfairly. If only she HAD heard him out. " She shows the letter to Marigold "Look at this, a third eatten.. but.. you too lavender. He IS willingg to consider a family."

"Well, of course he is." Marigold says serenely. "Any boggan with half a brain could tell that he's smitten on her, and though he might buck a bit, he'd move heaven and earth to make her smile. Why are you fussing?"

"Because they have a chance ," Nadeen says feelingg the pull of Beltaine, "The chance at something I may never have in a way I cannot offer to any... and it's in danger. Marigold. If they break too far it may nnot be salvagable. Bluebell thinks Julius doesn't understand and got him a rabbit as a replacement for family. Julius is off in a huff and may carouse or something in a fit of ..satyr stupidity"

"Standing riiiight here" Lavender says

"Oh, dear." Marigold wrings her hand. "Well, they've had spats before, and always made up. Perhaps just give them time. A Winter hold can feel as antsy with Beltaine coming on, as any Seelie hold come Samhain."

Nadeenn winces "But if I had only managed to make peace between them... I'm supposed to be good at this. And.. what if it doesn't work?"
