"Also possible" She considers

"I wonder what effect the Gift of Pan would have on them?" he muses.

"Ohhh, that is intriguing."

"Oh it removes inhibitions so can be quite individualistic in it's effects. We Satyrs often have to reassure others it is not mind control or even coercian, but if mixed with certain cantrips it certainly greases the ralis on predetermined paths "

"You could tailor the emotional desires, when you see just what they repress?"

CC says "It might take more than one cantrip... layering them, but yes. Yes I could"

"True. A well-crafted education takes some time and investment."

"In this your kith has greater patience than my own ... as a rule" She admits

"Hm. Well then. Roughly.... Miss CC uses the Gift on our two captives to find what they have been hiding. Based on that, we layer cantrips on them to cause them to not only behave on those inhibitions, but to enjoy that behavior. And then we have them educate us on what they guess about the others?"

"Well, tis our purpose, nu? We were dreamt to educate errant souls."

A nod at William. "Aye, that seems meet."

"Miss CC? This hinges on you."

"Oh I can do it, but I'm rather glad we brought in Zara's insight" A nod

"Now, Mssr. William, your social skills could well be used to... influence... our two friends, even without magic. Or to tweak their reception."

She beams at something said there, "Well, mayhaps"

"Hm." he blinks, and rubs his chin "I suppose. If I could observe them interact..."

"Well, social engineering is not my forte, sir."

A chuckle "You might be better than you think, Kitten, but yes, I think Emerson had the basic plan laid out"

"Honestly, had they simply chosen to follow basic manners...." She shakes her head, tsking.

"If Manners Maketh man, then I think your theory on projection fit even more"

"I suspect this will be very... ah... 'entertaining' might be crass." She taps her chin, thoughtfully.

"Hm. Well, shall we go to where they are? Miss Zara, I know you're curious to see how it goes....."

"I confess I am."

"She's got a thirsy mind,darling. It's what makes her so learned"

"Then, when we've finished out tea we'll go." he smiles.

"No rush on that, " A gentle sip of the tea which is pleasant

"Id do very much appreciate the balance of earthy and fruity notes in this blend, Miss Callidora."

"Oh I'm so glad. I confess, serving tea to such a connoisseur of the beverage can be a touch intimidating, "

Zara smiles. "Oh, with such good hospitality, you could not go wrong."

"See that Emerson, we're still 'hip' with the Wilder crowd" Her eyes sparkle at him with gentle humor

A chuckle.

"I am thrilled you are enjoying it."

"Truly, it has been too long. I fear inertia has gotten the better of me. Comfort can be complacent."

"Oh then we're happy to offer you a chance for a side adventure as it were, or at least a brief change of scenery. "

"Certainly!" With a jolly smile "A bit of mischief can be good for you."

"Aye, it can." A wee smile.

"Oh Emerson isa bit of mischief himself. I was an innocent before he got his wicked wicked claws in me" Faux angelic look

A wheezy rattle of laughter.

He laughs softly as well.

The meal is quite lovely, the pie praised, and idle chatter made. CC finally wipes her lips with her napkin and says "Thank you for indulging me. "

"I live for it." he assures her.

"And I live to be indulged" She confides

Zara smiles.

"We'll leave the things here for now; shall we, ladies?"

"Let's" A nod

He offers each of them an arm to escort them to the car, and drives them to the Kansas City Arms Hotel. The fabulous decor and high class atmosphere of this hotel makes it the prime place for visitors from outside the city to stay and an excellent meeting place for those who wish to discuss business away for their normal meeting spots. The lobby is adorned with ornate fountains, and a small bar server drinks at all hours.

Arm taken. They enter the Arms itself and she smiles

Zara glides along, dark eyes drinking in details.

Emerson nods to a few of the staff, strutting proudly along with the two ladies; let 'em guess!

The elevator, and then down the hall to a room. He taps at the door, and lets himself in.
