He leads her up to his room, shuts the door. "Uh. Nab?" He checks.

"You rang?" Nab flutters from the bookshelves. A full foot tall and with wings

"Hey, Piper," The imp beams

(The wings are new.)

"Ooooh! You've grown! And... what WHAT.... Are they just giving out Wings to everyone these days?" Hands on her hips. "Where are mine?"

"I Hear Luci worked for hers," A laugh "Me? too kind of but I DO owe you for ..something"A smirk from Nab "Maybe I can repay you sometime."

She flutters over ,and touches Adam's head, then bounces over to Piper "There, that should be it"

"Oh now that should be a story, I really need to get the deets from Lucia." A surprised look. "Oh, what for? I did invite you for that last ride-along, so nothing owed there when I had all the fun..."

Adam blinks at the succubus's touch.

"Oh, never you mind. So... you two want the room to yourselves?" Nab winks "I can head out."

"I don't mind if you stay, but it's Adam's room..." She reaches up to brush her head where Nab had touched. "You wouldn't believe what those springs did to my curls. I felt like bride of Frankenstein..."

"No such thing, Piper!" He protests, sticking off his jacket and starting to work on his shirt. "You were, are, beautiful. "

She laughs. "So was the Bride... the EVENING was lovely. But you, sir, have never fought tangles gone made with unseasonable humidity!"

He pauses in the act of loosening his cravat and smiles, reaching to touch her hair, stroking. "Well, I promised conditioner....."

Her hair looks back in order, despite her complaints - well, however much "in order" her riot of short curls ever is.

Nabuni has 'parked' nearby and seems to be lazing in the discussion like a cat in a sunbeam

Adam takes a deep breath and looks from Nab to Piper. "Up to you ladies."

"Oh I think her hair looks fine tossled" Innocent blink

A grin. "You can rub some lotion on me later if you really want." She offers innocently. "But, on with the show..." SHe reclines back as well, mirroring Nabuni's pose.

"Whew...." Adam takes a deep breath, admiring the view, and then continues stripping his shirt and then boots off.

It isn't a strip tease; he is not that experienced. But he doesn't mind showing off his body for their enjoyment.

Nab purs like a cat "Shoveling that snow has helped keep you in tune"

She shivers, making a face. "Swimming does well enough for muscles, and without that terrible frozen sky vomit."

"Yeah, but I already know how to shovel snow." He points out. He gets the red voile from his closet and sorts through what goes where before hooking his thumbs in the waistband of the black leather pants and glancing at the girls.

Nab grins "Oh you're so going to like the gift I got you"

He grins back and strips down to briefs before making a leisurely start on the red robes.

"Wait, wait... don't rush it..." She pauses and makes a show of admiring the least-clothed view.

Adam grins again, and dresses slowly.

Nab begins to hum 'bah badda badda da da.. bum bum bum'

That makes him laugh.

Piper makes a disappointed sound as the clothes come back on...

He does stand taller, the robes giving him an aire....

"Hey, I can always take them off again....." He offers.

Piper sits up now, looking him over, and she hesitates a moment, then gives a small smile. "They're... nice. The color looks good on you..."

He nods, smoothing the lines and twisting to check how they fall on him. "He had some pictures and I liked this best. I didn't expect to get two outfits. Hell I didn't expect to get any."

Nabuni says "I don't know why you thought you wouldn't when your folks did. "

"Well, Kinain normally don't wear voile. Not that I've seen, anyways..."

"Yeah. And it's like.... they need it. I don't. Still, glad I have 'em." He grins proudly.

"I... well, I'm glad you like it. And you deserve whatever you want, really, that they can give - you gave your blood and sweat to the lodge, so a couple of outfits is the least they can do, y'know?"

"Exactly!" Nab says to the Satyress

Adam shrugs. "I don't feel like I should take any of it for granted, though."

"No, but you shouldn't let them walk over you, either." She nods. "Not that I'm saying they are, or would... but y'know, a lot of fae aren't as nice as this lot."

A sigh. "Everyone keeps saying that. "

"Which part?" Nab says

"A lot of Fae aren't as nice as these are. Rivervale fae."

She stands up and steps over to Adam, reaching up to lightly press a hand on his cheek. "Listen, hun - I don't want to sound broken-recordy. But... there are holds out there where instead of asking you to pick an outfit, you might be dressed up and on display as a pampered pet. Or that what you did would be considered your duty and due, and you should count yourself lucky that you even GET to scrabble for crumbs of the Dreaming. Some fae are just shitty people - to commoners, to kinain,,, let alone to mortals... I just don't want to see you ending up hurt because you learned that the world is a nicer place than it is."

"They even seem nice to most Chimera... if it talks and isn't out to hurt folks , we invite it into the circle" Nab says "If it doesn't talk and isn't hurting folks, Dagmar tries to adopt it"

She might be joking on that last, but probably not

Adam grins. "You aren't wrong." He agrees. "Yeah. Well. It hurt when they acted like I was going to hurt someone here on purpose but.... less so, now."

Adam puts his hand over Piper's on his cheek, and kisses her (If she lets him).
