For Adam, slipping into his house isn't a new trick. The hopscotch got him to the window of his own house

Bachdion hangs below

He opens the window easily and slips in. "Nab?"

For once, she's right where he wants her to be. She must just have gone off feeding. Because she's almost aglow "Hey," She covers her mouth as if hiding a burp.

"Hey...." he approaches and takes her in his arms, kisses her ardently. "Missed you."

Mmmmm! Pleased, she returns the kiss and starts to guide him to the bed, which is great.. oh wait, isn't he supposed to talk to her about something?

Might want to hold that off

Oh, he goes to the bed willingly enough but speaks as he does. "Sir Bachdion is waiting outside. Move to EarthRunes with me?" Directly.

That doesn't kill the mood, but it puts it on hold. "Wait, what?"

He nods, flush with excitement. "Yeah! Promise, you'll never need juice again. They finally talked, and I have -three- mentors! At least for now, while they figure things out. So I'm spending most of the summer there, and then figure out what's next. Come with me." It's a request.

"I... but I've lived in this house for ... well, I think iwas first dreamt here" She seems unsure "I... it feels weird. What if I don't like it in a new place?"

"Then we'll come back. Or something. We'll figure it out." gently.

"You leave the house all the time."He points out.

"Well, SURE, use logic why dont' you? Next you'll point out I stayed at the Wayburtons for a week"

He grins. "You did." he points out.

He takes her in his arms.

"well, I guess.. he's there NOW? I have to get my things, " A fuss "Adam , what about my clothes? and my books, my make up kit?"

"Bring them! I'll help you carry them. And if you want you can leave some stuff here. I am. It's not like we'll never be back."

"Adam, I'm a Chimera, I don't HAVE stuff" A grin "Sure, yeah, let's go"

He laughs, happy. "You want to go out the window or down the stairs?"

"OH why not the window... Hey you sure i wwon't cramp your style with the lady Fionas and stuf?"

"We're a package deal." he says firmly. "I mean, we're not exclusive, are we?"

"NOPE" She says "I've slept behind your back LOTS of times" Cheerily

"As long as we're honest about it." he agrees "Anyone who wants into my life has to be ok with you being there too."

"Aaaadam, it's okay if you find the RIGHT Girl or guy to give me up for. I'll be fine"

"The RIGHT girl or guy will accept you." with the solid surity of a 16 year old. "C'mon."

She shrinks and flutters out the window "Race you"

"Ho!" he cries and lunges out the window. Happily, he is practiced at this.

Instead of breaking his neck, he comes down with a tumble smooth as silk

"Ha"He looks for Nab and Bachdion.

Already making introductions. Still shrunk, she is on his palm bowing and giving him a nice little view. They've met before he suspects, but he's happy to talk toh er.

"Hey."He jogs up.

"Just saying hello again to your lovely lady friend," Bachdion says "Did you get your things?"

(Can we say he did? I didn't realize he was supposed to. :woman-facepalming: )

(Sure)

Swinging his Backpack forward, Adam shows he is ready, and Bachdion nods "Well, clothes aplenty await you at the Hold."

"They do?"

"Sure, Vashti lives for that stuff. Oh she made you a suit for Siv's party but you didnt' show up so it is still waiting. You missed a great show but I'm sure Sergei appreciates the help"

Adam shrugs. "Wasn't in the mood. But I'd like to see the suit." he grins "Can we go?"

"Certainly. " A smile "A satyr, a teenager, and a demon girl walk into a bar..." And they vanish

back to Earth Runes

(End Scene)

Nadeen speaks to her servants/Adoptive Parents and makes her excuses. they are dears but sometimes they need to be whammied with magics that Sir Frank might not approve of to be fully managable. The less he knows, the better

***************

The food was delicious, and yes, maybe Nadeen has a bit of Connor's Zuchini

And, dinner done - Connor is left to help with "CJ Puppy" while Dag checks in with Symon.

Dr. Lee opened the door for 'Sam', nodded stoicly, and let her in to go to 'Symon's office' aka the basement

God knows what his son does down there

The lights are all off, but Symon is visible as a lump that blocks a bit of the glow from his monitor in the corner. "Hey, c'mon in." And belatedly, "Oh, go ahead and turn on the light - it has a dimmer."

The sound of a toe stubbing, and then the lights fade up a bit.
