Julius clears his throat. "Still, we are in your debt. This goes rather further than asking a friend to help you move, which is already quite an imposition."

"Careful, Julius. I'm the sort who actually uses debts now and then for a good cause," A sigh "Perhaps it's Beltaine's pull, but there is something to be said for someone having love's rewards."

He can't help a glance back at Bluebell, who scrunches up her nose and wiggles it at him cutely.

"Worth it."

"Of that" she laughs softly "I have no doubt. "

A pause "Ah, at risk of bringing up a reminder of some.. tension, you two may want to thank Gwen when we get home"

"You really came through. I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't answered. Well, I do know... probably waited until morning to try again." A sigh. "Thank you, Nadeen. I'm not sure if I called upon the Baroness, the Reeve, or just a fellow hold member, but whoever I have to thank, thank you." He blinks. "Gwen?"

"I am an ensemble in myself" Nadeen preens humbly, yes, somehow that works from her, "Yes, Gwen. Who has.. so far, saved a certain furry giftt from... a fox, a dog, a redcap.. though I think Briar was joking, and chewing on Calanthe's dress which was left in the laundry area. She thought you'd be back LONG before this and so has NOT taken said creature to the zoo"

Bluebell's eyes widen in horror. "Egads. Not... her beltane dress? The one with the fern-lace border?"

"I've never seen Gwen move so fast in my life, fortunately I don't believe the little muncher really took a bite out of it," Amused eyes. Part of her wanted it to get a CHOMP out of that thing.

Julius sighs in relief. "As amusing as that sounds in theory, I'd worry that the wrong bunny might get the blame. Yes, thank you - I'll be sure to thank Gwen. And I'll find the little one a good home."

"Silverwolf can be a dangerous place for an innocent little bunny. Not one so wise as I." Bluebell adds.

"Wonderful," A nod and a curious look at Julius, "Julius... I want to apologize to you while we're talking. I saw what was left of the note you left Bluebell..." She offers him the original "Even with the missing pieces, much would have been solved if we had ALL given you more time to try to explain. Bluebell has talked to you, but while less important in your world, and rightly so, I feel I should apologize for .. well, not making a stronger attempt to make peace. I wanted so hard to be a diplomat for you both that i neglected to be a friend until now"

He bows to her. "Graciously said, and appreciated. Though, you were also right. I was being a jerk."

Bluebell adds, "Perhaps not only he. Oh.. oh dear."

"What?!" Julius leans in, worried.

"I left my chocolate in the River!"

That leaves him stumped. ".... I will get you more?"

"My hero!"

He carefully pockets the note with thanks.

"Chocolate at the... River?"

Bluebell flaps her hand dismissively. "It is no matter. All is well."

Soon they're returned to Sivlerwolf by trod, car, or if need be Knight's Heart Cab

Julius finishes explaining, "And with a little bit of properly fuddled paperwork, your refund will be as good as taken care of. And an anonymous donation to the clinic, out of my own pocket, of course."

A brow at that, "I hate the idea of you dwindling your nest egg with your plans of .. well, couples need resources. I'll talk to Aiden about it and see what we can swing. Right of rescue as it were"

He blanches a bit. "We needn't bother the Baron with such..." Julius demures.

"I.. " A brow, "Julius, do you fear he'll react badly?"

He frowns a bit, and shakes his head. "I suppose not. But I still would rather not bother him with this. I'd prefer to resolve things first, and present it afterwards as a situation that he need not act upon."

"I will respect your wishes in this" she says, "You are the voice of experience here and I respect that too." A breath, "Belaine is going to be mostly in the evening here.. .but I think you'll love it."

"We'll all work together to make it a night to remember." He promises, and Bluebell nods as well. Though, she has fingers crossed behind her back, so who knows?

"At least some folks will have romace" Wistful, "yes." And the barking of dogs greets them, none louder than Pyscka "Forgive me, I'm rather tired. You've got it from here you two?"

"We're good. Thanks to you." He frowns a bit though. "Still need to check in with Danica... but no matter. I'll take things from here."

"Oh yes, I'll text her to let you know you're home" Andn she does "She'll want to know"

"Thank you. I'll speak to her as well to clear anything up." He bows, Bluebell curtseys, and they head off to there own quarters.
