"Hooks might be a better word"

"You just don't want to work for Chancey?"

"Right. I'll work for the baron with honor, I'd swear to him. Heck I might swear to the baorness, but..." A frown "Not the dame. I'll work with her, but not for her if I can help it. She's a bully and a brute under a classy veneer"

Briar scowls. "She ain't even a PROPER bully. Sometimes you gotta put someone in their place. But she's all stupid and sneaky about it and ain't got no good reason. She gives proper brutes a bad name. You know over at that farm, they got a 'cap working there? He's a guard and he gets to EAT any sidhe what try to sneak in. Now that's a job worth doing."

"Huh, cool" She has to admit, "Still we better not talk too loud about 'her' or we'll get in trouble." A look at Briar "You know, Briar. I think you're right. You are a PROPER Brute. And .. kind of cool yourself. One day you're going to be even more of a badass than you are now"

Her chest puffs up a bit. "Yeah? I mean, yeah, darn straight." She thinks for a bit, frowning at the effort. "So you think we can get Bluebell to get Roach to lay off? I can't beat him up because he's a dang horse and the Baron loves 'em."

"he's more protective of blossom, and boy does she like being made a fuss over. Well, we can try. If Blue bell won't help us, we'll just have to prank him back. In a waeird way, I THINK he just wants to fit in"

"Yeah? Huh." She thinks for a moment, and then snickers. "The makeup thing WAS kinda funny sounding."

"Fine, I'll doodle YOU up"

but she smiles

"Yeah! WAR PAINT!"

"Come on... I have other stuff for that" she pats the redcap on the shoulder "But first, let's get you MY Soda. I'm not that thristy so you can have mine"

"For reals?"

"Yeah" A nod "Why not? You've had a rough day, and besides, it's in my interest to bribe you to go easy on me right? You can pretend it's a protection racket" Helpful

"Ha! Yeah! Gimme your pop or I'll gobble your guts!"

A smirk and a nod "Guess I better pay up" And into the hold they go, and yes, Briar gets her protection racket soda
