"I am mortified" Jonas says "This is the second time, SECOND time this happened"

"Piper wasn't there for the first, and it was Samhain, you don't know it's our fault" Siv points out

"I remember she was the one who wanted to party in New Orleans .." He points out

"And it was a hell of a party. I remember you enjoying the two of us dancing up against you..." Siv says

"I don't remember that" he says unsure, then a sigh "I'm talking about how I woke up."

"Look, I admit, topless horse racing in the French Quarter... if that IS what we did, sounds wild. And we might have used you as our horse"

"Again" he says "Remember Pennons 2019?" A reminder

"How can I forget?" Siv says

"And I wake up..again.. in horse form, and apparently being held as collateral!"

He huffs

Piper reaches over and runs hr fingers through his hair soothingly. "There there. You're here now, right?"

"It's just... huff. You two realize you sold me right? Or at least pawned me?" But he does calm

Siv kisses him on the lips, then says "I don't know if we did that or not actually.. memories are fuzzy. But do you really believe unseelie uses would leave you trapped? We'd break you out and steal you if that's what it took. Isn't it, Piper?"

"I'd NEVER leave you in jail. Or anyone I cared about." Firm and sincere.

"Jail or trapped or in a pit or anything..."

"Although tied up might be a thing."

She allows.

He notices the passion in Piper's voice, then looks to see Siv's own firm assurance and eases further "Fine. But it is vexing not remembering what might be a.." He blushes at the tied up comment

Siv grins "I like the way she thinks"

She keeps with the hand stroking through his hair, letting her fingers trail on his scalp in a soothing way. "And you know we can't force you to turn into something.. so whatever it was, you were in on the game." A smile, and she murmurs, "Stallion."

SIV's turn to blush "oh the rep we'll get if folks hear about that"

Jonas smiled a bit then broke into a coughing fit

She pats him on the back.

"Fine fine.." he recovers "But what did we win? Did we win anything? "

She reclines back and smiles lazily at the two. "I feel like a winner."

"mm so do I" Siv joins her ,almost sitting in piper's lap, which is a lot of girl

Jonas shakes his head "I think it's a testament to my shallowness that I cannot stay irate at you both even when I might feel justified"

"I wouldn't call that shallow. That's.... mmm... being the bigger man." She can't QUITE hide the bit of a grin there.

"Oh Piper" he groans

"It's a valid turn of phrase!" She argues back with a laugh.

" I enjoy it" Siv grins wolfteeth

Checking her pockets... and then Siv's pockets, for any surprises.

She finds a key that was not there before. It doesn't look like a car key though a nd there's an adress... outside of New Orleans?

She blinks at the key, danging it curiously. Mailbox key, house key, PO Box key, skeleton key.... and gives it a kenning.

"Odd...."

Light glamour on it, but not a treasure

"Okay.. that's not your apartment key" Siv says

"Noooo...." Showing her the address.

"Ring any bells?"

"It's a storage shed key" Jonas says "At least it looks like the sort I've seen before"

Siv blinks and looks at Jonas "We won a key to a mystery box?"

"It's Samhain mystery. " he says "Everything is a mystery box."

without missing a beat, siv turns to Piper "Hear that, Piper? We're virgins again. Post Samhain morning is some powerful shit huh?"

She goggles, then barks a laugh! "Siv, oh, to put it in metaphors you'll understand, that ship has saaaaaaaaaaaaaailed!"

"Caught fire, and sunk to the bottom of the sea" she giggles back "Okay okay..so when do you guys want to go check out this shed?"

"It's still the weekend, isn't it?" Giving a luxurious stretch. "How do our chances seem for some faster-than-light travel?"

"Really good seeing as I have the Narwhal.. I mean, we might have to uber a bit"

A Grin! "I forgot that it works for any bodies of water... I kept thinking it was just for the seaaa."

"the Gulf of Mexico IS part of the Atlantic Ocean, Cali Girl" Siv says "Your Pacific bias is showing again" A kiss to Jonas "Coming with?"
