a closer one to the BEST Pot

"There we go."

A bit later the head peeks out. Mmm is the BESTT Pot still there?

It is. And Thistle is painting it.

She raises a plumed brow at the little fairy.

"I see you, y'know."

And BACK into the same pot it was in a second ago it goes

Snort!

The door opens and Gwen peeks in "Hey?"

Thistle startles and blushes.

"Uh, hey. Stonewall."

"Hi, Thistle." She says "Ah... you got an ice blue never eying the pot you've got ... in case you didn't notice"

"She's been buzzing around, yeah."

"They ring and echo, so..." She taps one with a fingernail to demonstrate.

"Neat"

"Nevers like bells. And bright things."

"No wonder you're their queen"

Snort.

"I'm sure they like other people fine."

"They sure don't like blossom or the falcons"

"The falcons try to EAT them."

"Yeah.." A shrug "Sorry about that"

"Well, they can be hyperactive, annoying little na'ars, but I don't want themeaten."

"I'll keep a look out for them" She offers

"Thanks."

"So, you hear anything about the party? That night was kind of a weird blur..."

"Ah.." She blushes, a light scarf about her neck "I think i went ah well"

"I mean, yeah?"

"Musta drank something strong, all I'm sayin'"

"Well, that's kind of how i works.. Samhain is a time of mists. .. of veils lifting, memories stirred and then gone aggainn"

"Seriously?"

"Seriously... it's a magical time, but magic is not always friendly. It's a time to honor the past, yet also when we embrace change. I can spiritual, or base. The baron could word it better than I. "

"Fair enough. Do ghosts come out or something?"

"I wouldn't know for sure," She admits "But there are always stories"

"You think there ARE ghosts?"

"What about werewolves? Vampires?"

"Oh boy.. ah yes. We call them Prodigals. Dreams that lost their way, forgot they were dreams. As a rule it is best NOT to mess wittth them, especially not the Children of Lilith. However sexy they may look, they are cold corpses that enslave and drain blood"

"No sexy vampires, gotcha."

"You ever meet one?"

"Mostly I've been taught to avoid. If I met onne, I was lucky to miss it. or it mess me. Now Werewolves? Ask the Baron about them. He hAS met some"

"Dude!"

"I'm telling you, the Baron maybe a private kind of guy, but he knows some shit. Oh, there are also wizards, will workerrs, annd they can be really dannggerous. Some of them are Banality central.. but even the fairy tale looking ones can drain our balefires of their magic. I tthink I may have met one of those before my change. A medicine man kind of guy...he always looked like he saw more."

"Cool."

"Yeah... there's a lot more that I don't know about in detail. Mostly I'm sharing what was told to me. As a rule, avoid prodigals. i'm a bit worried about tellingg arty. he's so.. curious."

An oddly soft grin. "Yeah, he is."

"It'll serve him well, but I do worry he's gonna get in trouble" She nnotices the look "Mmm but you two DO seem to look out for each other pretty good"

"Oh yeah. I mean, we became fledges together. So we gotta."

A nod "Just... if he finds out about prodigals, try to keep him away from them?"

"I can try. Art can be a little impulsive?"

"Yeah." She sighs "I need to just ggive you guys room to be yourselves I know"
