"I want to show my people that I... " She frowns. "I think it is important I do this."

"I know, but Shalimar might have a few ideas. He helped your mother" A reminder

"True. Though Coradel is fearless."

"I am afraid in that, I am certainly not Fiona."

"True, and overall that's a relief. Your mother can be a bit unpredictable... but may I get Shalimar's advice? Or would you prefer not?"

"I do trust Shalimar. For all his jests, he has a good heart."

"Then I'll make the call and see what I can translate" He says

"Thank you, Gray."

As it turns out, Shalimar has some advice, hard to understand, but then... a day later... a delivery comes in. Large boxes filled with..effigies and punching dummies... all dressed like Harkson in utterly STUPID outfits. Harksen as a French maid. Harkson as a jester with his pants cut out. Harkson with a stupid snidely whiplash mustache. Of course it can't capture sidhe beauty, but that's all for the better. A note with it reads "If only you had distractions they'd REALLY want to focus on while you bound around in Foolscap? One that would allow them release and joy.. alas. I can think of nothing"

That does earn a little smile.

Gray is impressed "They'll love it . I DO suggest we put a fire outside safe and controlled so they can burn one or two in a safe way and not inside" A grin

"And away from anything that might burn wild... so near the creek."

"I'll make it so"

And while there are more plans to do, at least the people will get a healthy kind of revenge.

Of course, it turns out Dio wants to help Sparrow with her fool costume for Carnivale, and dress for Imbolc! But that's another matter
