"We're talking apprenticeships of our professions, not changeling stuff per se," CC goes on, "And we could use the help as winter is shaken"

Murray shrugs "Sure . we can work with this"

"You do have Kin." He points out.

"Sure, one of them works here already," Mentioning their kinian bouncer

"And a treasure they are."

"I'm not sure WHY you want this, but sure, more than a fair trade for shaping new blood" Murray nods

"Thank you, Storm." and he pours another round.

THey share the drinks, "Good show by the way, CC"

"THank you" She smiles "Speaking of which, I need to get back up there"

He takes her hand and kisses her knuckles "You do." approving.

She purs "Gents, looking forward to wowing you" And she saunters up

A soft sigh.

Soon, Lightning Strikes is sung, and Murray forgets to eat

Emerson just sips his drink and enjoys it all.

"She's damned disturbingly good" His guest says after a long time

A long pause. "She is."

"What's with the request for trainees?"

"How do you mean?"

"Seems an odd boon is all" He shrugs

"Ah, well.... the female mind?" he suggests, mystified.

"Yeah, I can't tell if the Dreaming made them crazy or devious"

"Nor why we are so attracted."

"Men are rock, women are water.... Rock thinks it controls the shape of things, but water always wears rock down"

He snorts "or something like that.. saw it on a bathroom stall..."

"As have, I'm sure, we all."

SNerk "Hope you liked the back up. "

"I will not forget what has transpired tonight, Storm."

"Hopefully that's a good thing." He observes "And to be fair, we are getting a lot out of this if it goes right"
