"Possibly rescuing children..." A sip "You know, of course, of the mortal tragedy in Afghanistan? Mortal nobles play politics, mortal commoners suffer either way however you feel about it. Well, they have changelings too. Confused and rare kith. Ones who might want to know they need bow to neeither sidhe NOR Oba"

"We have an opportutnity to shape some young minds in mass, and in liberating and helping them, the Thomas might learn to liberate themselves"

William gives an equivocating nod of his head. "Yeeeessss..... yes, that's not bad."

"Further more, while I do not condone 'child soldiers' should any of these new kith ..new to us, become wilders and still wish to take up the cause of rebellion, we could direct them to your contacts. The Shadow Court used children direct, I never cared for that"

"Agreed, yes."

He falls into thought for a moment.

"Rescue and relocation is a whole field unto itself. It requries resources."

"Quite the test for an add man and his wife yes?"

"Mm." still thinking "What do you think? Send them in with minimal preparation, let them see the truth of it and motivate them to invest themselves and their fortunes?"

"I'd want a back up hidden just in case"

"In case of what?"with an eyebrow.

"In they get in over their heads'

"Then they will have learned a valuable lesson."

"Thank you, Mister Pratchet" She says wryly

"Mm. What sort of back up did you have in mind?"

"Was thinking of sending you" she admits "just considering"

"I thought you wanted me away from that sort of thing?" curious.

"I do, mostly, but you ..and how to say this? I also want you happy and I worry sometimes you feel hemmed in. Also, you're simply one of the most brillaint men I've ever met and talented. If anyone could get them out if they have trouble , it's you"

"Mm." he gruntles "So... take them out, show them the mistreatment of childlings by Balor, allow them to be outraged to the point they -must- take action, and guide thier actions into rescue and relocation. Is that the shape of it?"

"I'm not certain, what do you think?"

He sinks into thought.

Shakes his head. "I do not think Kyle is ready to commit. And it would put me obviously involved and concerned. It would link me to the event. In the old days.... well, there were others to handle recruiting and managing the newly dedicated-to-the-cause. They must commit so deeply that to turn thier coat would be to damn themselves as well."

"I.. of course" She frowns "I should have thought of that"

He hugs her, one arm squeezing. "I have had years of practice, and a healthy sense of self-preservation."

"I know, but before I met you I'm pretty sure I was the smartest person in the room" A wink and kiss "Okay"

He kisses her back.

"I'll think on it" She settes into kissing him a whole lot more
