#ccsemberclub

"I'm still stunned you were willing to pay for our flight, CC," Marsha Wayburton says admiing the club, "And the show was wonderful"

"Indeed, our thanks for that," Her husband, the professor, presses his glasses against his nose.

The boggan at the host stand has been professional, discrete, and service was outstanding.

"This is Emmerson, my partner, and, well," CC says looking at the boggan fondly, "mostly I use him for cooking and sex"

The boggan.... pinks? And looks sheepishly horrified??

"Capital," The professor offers his hand, "Nice to meet you, Emerson."

"Miss CC...." he chides gently before shaking hands.

A faux demure look from CC

Mrs. Wayburton, a kinian, grins "I feel you, Emerson. Satyrs are very casual about some aspects of their life. As a Kinain, I'm considered the 'voice of sanity' in the house, and I'm still a hippie chick."

"Now, dear," Cornelius says "You enjoyed your corruption."

"Quite a lot, yes, two children to prove it" Marsha beams

The boggan clears his throat.

CC smiles at Emmerson, then says "Marsha, I understand you also have Piper joining you?"

"Oh not with us here, no, she and Zane stayed in Bergen, with Lydia, obviously, but yes. A niece of mine, wonderful girl. I think she's an amazing instrumentalist and not a bad singer."

"Really?" CC seems intrigued, "Well, if she gets old enough and wants a job, tell her she can audition here"

"Thank you" Marsha says

"How is Zane coming along?" CC asks

"mmm" The Professor sighs "We love our son, but he seems to have a hard time finding his passion. I had hoped something academic like myself, but, while he has been hitting books more lately, he just doesn't seem interested in rhetoric or political theory and certainly not debates of same"

The boggan moves away, returning with a tray of drinks for all.

"He's just a late bloomer" Marsha defends.

"Maybe he's got some passion that needs hiding as his age? Like a Bondage dungeon?" CC tries to cheer the parents up.

"Oh, if only" The worried mother blurts.

"That at least would show some life choices" The professor agrees

The boggan winces sympathetically for the lad, perhaps filing him in an internal 'needs help file.

"How about you, CC?" Marsha says "I mean, clearly you're thriving. But did you ever find a regular traggos?"

CC smiles "Yes." Not mentioning it's a once a month thing "lovely group."

A fastidious expression.

"Good, we were worried" the professor says "I'm an intellectual and I still need to cut lose now and then."

CC smiles, "Don't we all? Now, I understand you're actually inviting satyrs into the area?"

"Oh yes, why with Piper and Brenda, not sure you know Brenda, we're actually becoming the second most prominent kith!" He says, "So we were thinking, why not encourage a few more, get a trago for the barony not just the county?"

"Sounds wonderful" CC says intrigued by something "How far are you reaching from?"

"oh, Mexico and Australia for two of the international touches" The Professor says

"isn't that lovely, Emerson?" CC says

"Oh, yes." Immediately. "Cross cultural."

"Yes" The professor smiles, "Exactly, and also, following the excellent example of our liege, helping those needing a better home is ideal."

What an interesting look on the boggan's face...

"Oh but I know you, Cornelious, you maybe a die hard reformist with a fascination for non sidhe nobles, but you have never been afraid of a debate. Surely other satyrs you invite might range from modernists to traditionalists or you'll get bored" CC says

"Oh yes, well, of course. " He smiles "I welcome breadth of thought." then "As long as thought is involved."

"Would anyone care for dessert?"

"Oh, I shouldn't" Marsha says in that way that indicates she really wants some.

"House made.... a favorite of Miss CC's....":

"Well, I wouldn't want to insult CC," Marsha says "You always have such good taste, CC"

"Oh Emerson doesn't give himself enough credit, the food arrangements here are under his skillful arrangement, but yes, Marsha, you must try it, CC looks at Emmerson "Desserts for everyone"

He bows and heads to the kitchen.

CC talks with the couple, Emerson doesn't hear it all while getting the desserts but he knows he'll be caught up if need be.

It is clear to him that the professor is a supporter and admiring of the Chieftain
