"Yeah, my bad, completely. I'll walk you to the door.... unless, you want a ride home?"

"I will" Nab says with a smile

She snickers at the Demoness. “I’m good. I want to think this over a bit more. Maybe inspiration will strike around block 3. Oh, but- Adam, I WAS going to ask if you wanted to see if the lodge needed help with Patrols. That’s why I’d stopped by originally. See, Siv has been busting her butt lately, gone every time I stopped by to say hi. I’m no fighter or ranger, but I figured maybe with some backup I could help out.”

A frown. “Though maybe now after whatever is going on has been resolved...”

"Yeah! Yeah, 'course. Happy to help. I mean.... it's got to be one of the safer places around, for me, right?"

"Suppose so..." Zane says, "Siv's working that hard? Huh. "

“I guess so. The fourth or fifth time I stopped by and she was out on patrol AGAIN I figured something was up. Or she’s avoiding me...” a winning smile. “But naaaah.”

"Not you, you're lovable... " Zane chuckles

"Even with bangs" A low but not low enough mutter

She blows Zane a raspberry, the only result deserved.

"I'll say." Adam vouches for Piper's loveableness.

“Let me know what you decide, Kay?” And she heads out.

Adam follows her to the door. "Yeah, I'm in, absolutely. Piper?"

“Yeah?”

"You want to get something to eat this week? With me?"

“Sure! I’m always up for a snack.” She gives him an impish grin.

His smile is warm. "That's great. I've been thinking about you. A lot."

“With everything else going on? Good! Keep me in your dreams and that Sidhe out of them, and I’ll call it a job well done.”

He catches her hand. "You are. In my dreams, I mean."

Zane backs up and pretends not to notice

Adam will kiss her hand, if allowed, and opens the door for her as Piper leaves. Then he shuts it and leans back against it, grinning.

She goes a little pink, but laughs it off and lets him kiss her hand, with only a smaaaall eye roll and grin at the cheesiness. “Catch you soon, ok?” And she heads off.

"This day.... has not sucked."

He watches his cousin go , then "No kidding.. dude, nab full sized?"

Adam nods solemnly. "Stacked, Dude, She was HOT. Well, she IS hot, but she was full-sized hot."

"I mean..... she knows how to do stuff that..... WOW."

"I hate you juuuust a little now" He says

Adam nods. "You should. You really, really should." He sighs. "Ya know.... I didn't mind it. Being Sidhe? And the other changes? I just.... no way am I going to hurt Lily, or the rest of my family."

"I mean.... if that's what it's like when a Sidhe takes you over, it was ok."

""yeah, but your mom as a satyress? Oen closer to my age even? DUDE... she'd be welcome to our traggo anytime"

"MOMS." He emphasizes. "And Dad was a troll, and could squash you."

"Yeah well.. I.. worth it" he says "Night dude" A grin and a pat on the shoudler

"You need a ride?"

"nah, I got energy to burn" He waves

And heads out.

Leaving Adam feeling..pretty good despite the dangers. If he could have it all right up to taht sacrifice your sister bit? Wow. Would he

"Yeah. Me too." Adam sighs, and shuts the house down for the night.

And to sleep he goes on luxurious red sheets
