Piper just grins. "Hey, benefits are benefits!"

"I mean, you're not wrong...." she allows.

Basil blinks "Am I being pimped?"

"Of COURSE not," Rikki says to Basil, then looks at Piper "How much for stud fees?"

She sputters, and laughs. "You'll have to take that up with the stud."

Sylvi puts up her hands. "If you are, I've got no part in that. Look, Rikki, I'm going to tell Mr. Hayes you agree. If you don't want me to do that, you better stop me, okay?"

Rikki sighs "Dad's... " A sigh "if I start acting nice, dad's gonna ignore me... but I guess.. just once, it would okay to be the good witch"

Sylvi frowns. "You...you think...he only notices you when you prank?"

"Fftt.. PLEASE, only insecure little girls think that"

"Well...I'm pretty sure that's not the case. And I bet he'd pay plenty of attention if you're suddenly working in construction. So let's see how that goes."

"It WOULD be handy to have a gal on the inside if they decide to help with more reno work here. Helpful for the Hayes's and the Super both."

"i'll sign the blood oath" Ahurumph to Sylvi

"And I don't know if Mr. Hayes's daughter works with the crew, but she's a pooka, too."

"Yeah yeah, everyone's a pooka these days..mostly goat pookas but it happens" She says "We got a deal"

"Cool." And Sylvi makes her farewells, heads back to Mr. Hayes to finalize the arrangement and get details for when Rikki should show up, which she then makes sure get communicated to Rikki.

Rikki sighs , then looks a bit pleased at something "Maybe I'll get to wolf whistle obnoxiously at people?"

A glance at Piper

"I'd say, follow their lead. If they do it, it's fair game." A grin.

A smug look to Piper "Angel, you're gonna be a bad influence on me. I can tell" Then she shakes Basil's hand "You're invited to my pool when we get it running"

"HEy, thanks" he says

"Want me to introduce you around? You should meet Etsi and Lyron, they're also Satyrs..."

"Yeah" Basil says.. and soon he and his cousin are on a tour.
