"Well, don't think knights have a monopoly on honor."

"Furk yeah... I stand by my contracts" Proud

"Exactly."

"Your word matters."

A nod and she pats the troll's lower shoulder, "I still kind of want to see my ram break a gate open though. Maybe that's under 'Beauty is Life!'?"

A laugh

A grin "If Nadeen want's to test it out, I'm so suggesting McGillicuddy's shed"

"Overkill, maybe.. but...."

"Yeah well, I heard that on Halloween she gave out toothbrushes..again"

"She didn't even HAND them out, just left a pot full of them on the front door"

With music box made, and Battering Ram ready, the two girls are set for their gifts tonight.

"McGillicuddy is the worst, yeah."

"I mean, it's like she wants to be every rotten old lady in every book EVER."

"Agreed."

"Anyway, Nadeen is going to be like, the only sidhe around besides Brogan. Gonna be weird having her gone" A hurumph

Jaw-jut.

"Don't see why she has to leave. Maybe... maybe after high school, right? She has parents."

"Maybe, but she sure acts like she's leaving" head scratch

"I know." Huff.

"Why IS she leaving anyway?"

"Stupid reasons."

"Sidhe... always with the tragedy or triumph."

"I guess. She's so stubborn."

"Yeah. You two do have a lot in common" A nod

Then "that's not what you meant is it?"

"I dunno. She's gotten a lot nicer since she first chrysalized."

"YEah, you guys have been a good role model. Maybe you should take in a new sidhe every year" A shrug

"Or we just keep her."

"Leastwise until she has a specific place to go."

"Okay."

"So what if she has rank? There are more nobles than freeholds."

"This is true" A nod "But like you said, she's stubborn"

Sigh.

"You know it's not your fault right? Heck it aint' even your responsibility. "

"But I don't want her to go."

"Did you tell her that?"

"...No."

"Well..maybe try it?"

Frown.

A shrug, hapless

"Right. I know."

"Yeah." A nod. "it's hard to balance things out."

"She deserves to be happy."

"Yeah, but she seems to be deciding to be miserable and away.. least I haven't heard her say anything about happy either way"

"Yeah." Frown.

"I'm not helpin" A shrug "Sorry"

"No, it's fine."

"Yeah, well, that's still a furking good music box . She'll love it... or she's a knobhead"

"Well, we'll see. I should go get dressed soon. Fancy voile."

"Yeah I gotta get my outfit too. Thanks for help with the Battering Ram!"
