Adam steps back a little. Grown ups in charge now.

"Adam, you have fun," Brenda says "you've been a big help. Let us know if someone from the lodge comes by" She moves to his dad's side as they ready to head to the lodge

and they leave him alone, well, alone same for Miss Prim and Nab maybe

"Sure thing, mom....." When the coast is clear, he charges upstairs. "NAB??"

Nab is hiding under a lamp...but that tail gives it away

"Hey, Nab?" Gently.

"No nabs here, just us chimera..." She peeks out "Yeah tiger?"

"C'mout, Nab. Listen.... when you did... whatever.... to my parents. Uh. Did it make them Unseelie?" Still tender, careful.

"you mean did feeding them unseelie glamour while they slept and playing with their dreams about the glory of an unseelie sex romp ennncourage them to be unseelie?" A clearing of her throat "I don't know for SURE. There could be other factors. But hey, they stopped opressing you right?"

A sigh. "Yeah, and thanks. I mean it. I'm glad for that. But, uh.... people have noticed? And.... you think you can turn them -back- without anyone noticing?"

"Well, they'd have to expend the glamouur, which would have happened over time... and maybe get new glamour instead ... " She says "Though I suppose I could give them visions of super seelie sex... which iss NOT as vanilla as some thing 'repay all debts' can lead to quite the enjoyable night for example. I mean yeah, true Love CONQUERING too... and Death before dishonor.. if you put a french twist on it, makes sure you get the other partner off before.. you know, now that I think about it, the Seelie code COULD be Raunchy as hell"

"Just.... if we, if you, could switch them back, maybe the whole Lodge would back the hell off us? Mrs. Davidson was here....."

"Yeah, I overheard" She lowers her voice "Honestly? She scares me more than the Chieftain. "

"Maybe so but can you change them back?"

"Yeah, but.. you'll be grounded again." she reminds

A shrug. "Not the first time."

"Well, if you're SURE I should be able to do it"

Puzzled. "If I'm sure.....?"

"Well, yeah. I don't want to do this only have you fuss to undo the undo... it's draining"

"Hey, I don't want that either!" Concerned. "Are you ok?"

"Well, it won't drain me too much to undo it I guess, that'll be fine." SHe assures

"Can you do it without getting caught? Or, uh, so they know how it happened?"

"if they sleep, I should be able to," she says

"Shit. They went to the Lodge."

"Well, I'm sure this won't escalate at all" Gulp

"Fuck. Ok. So. Damage control?"

"If need be" she says "Oh i just hope the Lodge crew doesn't tie me to this"

"No! No, they can't. No, don't.... not if they can. I'll tell 'em it was me. Somehow. Don't."

"Adam, don't be ... you're very sweet, but you can't turn folks unseelie and they'll realize that if they look for suspects. I'll be fine.. I think. Flopsy will probably protect me, then chew me out in private. I'm part of the.. err well ,it's kind of like a union."

"No. No, Nab."

"I asked you to. It's me."

"I didn't tell you HOW I was going to do it ,so easy jumping onto the landmine I laid"

"Well, ok, I should have asked when you were going to do it in the first place so.... how?"

"I told you. " She says "Feeding them unseelie glamour why they slept and playing with their dreams"

"No, how are you going to undo it? Feed them Seelie Glamour? You need mine? Take it."

"Adam, you've got to STOP voluteering yourself when you don't.." A b reath "you scare me sometime, Adam. You don't always ... you want so hard to be a hero you don't always consider self harm. I can do it. Honestly. I'll let you know if I need your help"

"Nab, I love you, and I don't want you hurt because of something I asked you to do!"

"I volunteered, Schmuck" She says "And I ccarea bout you too"

"Yeah, but it was me that asked you to. So. It's me." He offers his hand to her, to step onto.

"Just... don't.." And she flies away

was she crying?

"Nab! Come back! I'm sorry!!"

"NAB! PLEASE!"

She's gone. Hard to find someone that small if they hide AND fly

But a voice speaks, the doll that protects her sister "most improper how you gush and declare your love for every female you couple with." A sniff

"Nab?"

He looks around. Yep. Prim. "So where have you been?" His tempter hot.

"Watching. And some times making food, and sometimes reading stories" She says

"I gotta go......"

He thunders down the stairs to his car and away.
