"Smart. Otha might know more about this."

Nessa folds her legs underneath her, lowering to the ground at the side of Sparrow's chair, this putting them at about the same height.

"I'll wait with you..."

"Thanks. So! How are you doing with lessons?"

"Nessa, thank you for watching her" But the big roll DOES look curious, then says "I am going now. " So sparrow will know, as if his heavy footfalls wouldn't hint it

I could study you for ages and learn the secrets of every curve... she shakes her head! "Um. I still need to speak to Mr. Bix..."

"For Spring, of course." She smiles. "I think you'll enjoy the Art. Sylvi... oh, you might not have met her yet... but Sylvi is very skilled with them. Healing waters, making things grow.."

"Oh! That sounds amazing... I do love growing things... at least, things that grow. I've never tried to grow anything myself, we never had any land, but.. oh, I'm babbling."

"Maybe you could try a garden?"

"But to be able to heal... I mean, really healing, not just treating wounds..." Her voice wistful, and not just from her gaze on the Sidhe.

And footsteps

"You don't have annti Cupid wards?" Bix says but not to Sparrow, to Otha

"Most holds seem them as minor Chimera" Otha says "They're not paranoid like your farm"

Nessa looks up, and then casts her gaze down, cheeks flaming.

"When everyone is related, love arrows willy nilly is NOT Minor.." Bix says "So darn straight, wards"

"Hello!" The blindfold sidhe greets them, cheerily enough. "I got pinged!"

Otha says "Oh my. Baroness. You didn't see anyone?"

Nessa shakes her head. "That little... the cupid was on her, trying to pry her eyes open!" A sigh. "I helped her cover her vision..."

"We had Cupids at FontaineBleu and Earth Runes... Fiona attract them, as a rule."

"Very quick thinking" Otha says. Otha might be beautiful, she's sidhe, but compared to Nessa's Sparrow, she's almost plain to the satyrs eyes

"Now, they could have hit Dio. She'd enjoy it."

"I See. " Otha says "It seems they've decided to come here." A nose wrinkle "This could be tricky, Baroness. It's not the same as a chicanery affect. "

"It should fade, shouldn't it? The infatuation usually lasts a day or so..."

Bix says "But we should be able to flush out the cupids with the right magic. "

and Bix says "Flushing out can depend. The best protection from cupids is already being in love or infatuated. When's the last time you had romance?"

Otha rolls her eyes "Bix is right. If you already have strong feelings for someone else it may pass quicker"

Her feathers slick. "That's... no, that's not really an option."

Nessa asks softly, "Are you okay?"

A thin smile. "Sure."

"mmm " Otha ponders "We might be able to leech the excess love off before it settles in"

Nessa reaches out and lightly rests her hand on Sparrow's, giving it a soft squeeze - reassuring.

"Well, maybe... direct it to couples?"

"Spread a little romance?"

Otha frowns "What about the intention resonance? WHY Will you be pushing his love aside? That can affect things"

Bix says "Oh snot.. Zane's Cane"

"Because... well, imagine the chaos is I am besotted?"

"Showing favoritism, or... foolishness..."

Bix says "Just because a leader is in love doesn't mean they can't be fair. Clem's cut no slack to Cadman when he's there"

"Love is a powerful thing, Bix, not every ruler has that resolve.. begging your pardon, Baroness"

That las from otha

while They fuss over Sparrow...

Nessa feels the urge to comfort Sparrow more.

"Romance has... I mean, it has its place, but there are other kinds of love, too."

Nessa tries to resist the urge to turn Sparrow's delicate hand over, and trace soft patterns with fingertips on her palm. Swallowing, she draws her hand away from the Sidhe.

Bix says "Well, I think you're crazy to deny it. One day I'm going to meet the Right guy and you can bet I'll hold on hard"

"I hope you do!" Earnest.

Otha raises a brow at him "See, this is why you couldn't be Court Seer. You don't say things 'I think you're crazy'" she turns back to Sparrow "I'm going to ken you a bit. Maybe this Zane fellow can be called if he has a means"

"Alright..."

Nessa twines her own hands together, casting another glance over to Sparrow. This is all from that silly little arrow? But it feels so... real. She's always been captivating, but Nessa had never quite noticed before the way tendrils of hair fall so gently around her ears, and how the delicate feathers of her wings catch the light..

"I can't quite get a bead on it. That may mean it's not so bad" The Aesin says "But I still.. Bix, call that friend of yours"
