"I liked kissing people as a satyr."

"only as a satyr?"

"Satyrs got less hangups."

"True, but they're also less..selective"

"Dunno. Think I kissed the right person..."

When she realizes what she said, she blushes. Hard. "Um."

"Thank you," A breath "Dagmar, may I kiss you?"

BLUSH. Nod.

Her slender fingers reach out and stroke Dagmar's cheek

She places her hand over Nadeen's.

And tilting her head just so, Nadeen stretches up and presses her lips gently against Dagmar's

A gentle moment of surprise, even with the prelude. But Dagmar doesn't pull away. Indeed, she kisses back - clumsily, betraying a lack of practice.

Nadeen is more practiced, but not too much more. Still, sidhe have an innate confidence , and an inspiring confidence at that. She guides the less practiced girl with her own example, even as Nadeen herself delights in the sensation

She cups Nadeen's cheek with her hand, blue fingertips tangling with white-blonde hair.

Nadeen makes a pleased sound in the back of her throat as the kiss renews with just a bit more heat... and then the sidhe pulls back "You know, you're very nice to kiss as a troll also"

BLUSH.

Cough.

"That was nice. Yeah."

"Not like... not scary, just nice."

"Not scary at all," a nod

"Dagmar, I think we.. well, we were lovers in that past life. I think father was upset about it. Not sure how much" A blush

"Well... I mean.. you need to do politics..."

"So, I guess he'd worry about that."

A thoughtful look "One doesn't have to ... I mean, one can be political without weddings and such"

"True."

"So I can date who I like.. if they like me back"

"I like you." Oh, there it blurts again - troll and Gwydion bluntness.

an admission "I was kind of hoping you did"

"It just sort of happened..."

A brow "like a rash?"

Snort-grin. "Yes. AN itchy rash that it hard to ignore."

Elbow bump

She laughs.

And gets kissed on the cheek "Silly Falcon"

"My Sunshine."

BLUSH.

A soft smile at that

And then, a voice "The Count will see you now, Baroness."

"of course," The Varich says

She shoots Dagmar a sheepish look, puts her game face on, and goes to talk to the Count.

Dagmar looks to see if she should follow... but stays if that's the plan.

Dagmar goes too.

And may fight the urge to fall asleep as the sidhe discuss politics and set ups and what to do with a likely future count etc.

sidhe really enjoy this? It's a childling and a new arrival. You foster em and sain em and keep working!

After it is done, Nadeen looks oddly triumphant. The Count is meeting Casimer alone to decide some things but Nadeen seems pleased regardless as she walks the halls of Caer Falken "He is willing to recognize the debt to the COuntess of Charm that I have if she asks... if I do this right, I might be able to parley them both into supporting him, fostering him"

"Awesome. So, you got him set up like you wanted."

"Baroness Nadeen, Dame Dagmar." The Chieftain is approaching them down a corridor.

The Baron curtseys, "Chieftain"
