The Baron steps into the room, with his Lady at hand. "Mr. Carolos. To what do we owe the pleasure?"

Thistle rises, bobbing in a bow-nod-curtsy thing.

Caesarr rises, a big man, with a warm smile "Baron, Baroness... " A nod and turn to the nocker "Actually, I must confess, it was Trinna who reminded me this was your area of influence and pointed out I should fill you in on my intentions. "

"Thistle is a highly intelligent girl" the Baroness approves

Pink cheeks.

A glance towards Trina, and, "Intentions? Trina is our fledge, and though a wilder, yet underage by Mortal standards. Choose your words wisely, as she is under my protection."

Her eyes go as big as saucers! "What? No!"

Caesar looks confused, then stops "Oh hey now... " A look of disgust eases over his features for a brief moment, clearly offended, but he recoups "I mean, I told her of a local plan in the area and she suggested I speak to you first, Baron. "

"What plan is this?" The Baroness asks the Satyr, while putting a hand on Aiden's arm "What is it regarding?"

Aiden's expression relaxes a touch, as his own hand moves to cover Nadeen's.

"Well, I'm not sure you're aware that in addition to wrestling, I deal in real estate... often charity related tto help Kithain or kinainn families? It helps them get away from banality excess because who gets a spot is controlled, and , of course, helps folks less finacially fortunate than us"

Nadeen arches a brow, curious

"Philanthropic." He remarks.

"I try, and while philontrhopic, it at least breaks even. I do get benefits. Mostly in good will with good people, warm fuzzy feelings etc," the satyr goes on "I was thinking of buying up an apartment complex here in Carthage... Whispering Woods. I haven't begun negotiations."

"I am certain that you did not mean to imply that Silverwolf is unable to care properly for our own mortals and vassals." He says, in a cool tone.

"At the time, I didn't even remember I was in Silverwolf turf," He reminds

Thistle narrows her eyes, looking at the satyr.

"Mmm really, Caesar," Nadeen tuts but gently, "We're not that small a barony"

"Well, I got set straight" He gestures to Thistle, "And taking advice to be mannerly, I came here to let you guys know what I was trying for"

Aiden exchanges a glance with his lady. "I am sure we can come to some amicable agreement. Tell me about your intentions for - Whispering Woods, is it? My lady, why does the name sound familiar?"

"Because Thistle and her mother live there" Nadeen says

"I met Diane first," Caesar says then grines "Turns out she's a fan. " more soberly "Their heaters don't work half the time, launndry problems, windows sealed shut. Lots to do to bring it up to qualiy, so that's where I'd start. Also some rent control or even loweing the rates. "

"Ah." He nods, remembering.

"And, I'd give preferential treatment...to Kithain and their families, vacant apartments going to them first, not entirely fair, but charity begins with our own"

A glance at Thistle, his brow creasing just a bit. "Had anything been said, it is certainly well within our means to have taken care of any issues." He crosses his arms, and taps fingers on a crossed arm. Considering Cesar.

She prickles. "I'm good at fixing things."

"Ain't like any other apartments are better, really."

"True. But that does not mean that you should have to." His tone has thawed, and is much less frosty towards Thistle, gentle even.

Caesar says to Thistle "The Baron's right. You were holding that stuff together great, but you shouldn't be the one who has to just to get decent plumbing or services"

"But I mean it's anywhere. Ain't like my mom's doing wrong." Defensive.

The Baroness bends down "Thistle? Do you like Caesar's idea of Kithain control of your home and some of the changes he suggests? "

"It's a safe place, ain't one of the real ghetto ones where people do drugs or get the cops all the time."

"The maintenance is (*&%&^^, for sure, but, again, that's anywhere unless you're rich."

At being called 'right', that also appears to salve the Ailil's pride a little, and his eyes soften as Nadeen speaks to Thistle as well.

"I believe that we can come to an accommodation. I would suggest - Silverwolf shall not oppose your purchase, and in return, it will be known that, as we have no interest nor desire in the areas of realty management, you have done so at the request, or with the permission of, our Barony. However, Winter Rule falls to my Baroness, and so, the final word is hers."

Caesar nods to Thistle "Lived that life myself when I was younger, worse really. Sometimes mom and I lived in our car. I just want better for other kitthain is all. "

"Mom does great."

The Baroness ponders "Caesar, your heart appears in the right place, but the Baron is right there is an .. image situation. We already have some improvements for the barony planned. We must have some hand or at least eye in this, or it may lead to confusion down the road which goes beyond reputation." A thought "Thistle, wha'ts your mother's regular job again?"

"She's HR. Uh - mostly training and mentoring new hires."

"Hmm. I wonder if she would make a good supervisor?"

"For the complex I mean" The Baroness says

"She likes her job." FIdget.

"Perhaps Miss Rosemary might have a recommendation, if the current management must go." Naming the local realtor.

"She is Clurichaun and should be aware of the needs of the local Kithain."

"Of course!" Nadeen says remembering "Caesar, we don't want to leave out our community"

"Ah," Caesar nods "Makes sense"

"Unless you had someone interested in transferring."

"Mom's really good with people, but, um, not numbers, so much?"

"And if your mother is happy whee she is, we'll leave that be" Nadeen assures Thistle, "Caesar, we'll want at least 10% of ownership of any realty purchase you make here. Supervisors must have our approval. In exchange, we can smooth the process for you. It will be officially with our leave. And all repair work must be done by locals"

Caesar's jaw drops

Thenn she looks a the Baron "Assuming you concur, dear?"
