#dreaming

"I don't know" She admits "She's a satyr so if she can, it's metamorphosis cantrips. Doesn't seem likely"

"Where did you last see her?"

"Bergen but she isn't there anymore" She looks apolegetic "Wish I had more to give you than that. It's possible your sister knows more. She's quite the spy herself"

A long pause as he drops the last of the uniform rags to the ground. "Nah." softly "Sounds like she's doing fine as she is."

A brow "Lily still loves you too"

"Nab might be around the Bergen area, then? Like the Dreaming side of it?"

"If she is, the Rovers would know. I haven't heard any report. But if you need to look around there, Olgar's another to inquire about" SHe says "Put my uncle to work if you need him. "

"What name are you going by now? Where are you staying when you're not in the Dreaming? Are ye all right? Sir Bachdion is worried"

"Jo Jo" Jo Jo adds

He seems reluctant.

"Uh. I'm .... I'm squired to a Gwydion knight in Grass. I'm fine, I'm doing ok. You know. Building a life." he sighs "I -was-."

"Oh" She says "Well, that's good. Wait, what do you mean 'was'?"

"I have to find Nab. I'll explain to... to everyone and... borrow some supplies and stuff and sell the... sell some stuff and ... find her."

"Sell stuff? Hey, maybe I can help. I got a bit of cash, some dross. "

She says "I feel like I dropped a bomb on you without warning. "

"S'ok. We're even, now." he blinks.

"Well, not so sure... you did save me from having hot coffee torture, and I think you made it possible for US to restore coffee flavor to the world. "

He shrugs. "Right of Rescue."

"Which is why I came to help Jo Jo, it was making him sick" She says "Still, I couldn't have done it without you and I do feel indebted. So, call it troll pride? Also, we're both of House Fiona. You're my House Brother on a search for love. I feel I should help somehow, even if it's only lending you dross"

She can't help but notice how much Adam has changed, and that he's not really answered a lot of her questions. "What Gwydion knight are you with?"

"I'm good on dross, thanks. Learned to catch and make my own."

Jo Jo perculates oddly during this

"Okay. Well, ask Uncle Olgar for help if you need a trod guide... is there anything I can do to help you though? I notice you're not answering half my questions. Where do I send Nab if I find her befoe you do?"

He stops, looks at her.

"You don't have to look for her. You don't have to get involved." serious green eyes like lasers.

"No, I don't, but I ran into you while not looking for you. If Da'an wills it, I may run into her while not looking for her either" She says pragmatically, in practical tone that is more like those of her father and mother than she realizes "What where should I send her to find you if that happens?"

He can't fault her logic, and sighs. "Send her to Firnost. She can stay there, it's pretty safe. And I'll be there on and off and check in. She can leave a message with the gloves and all."

"Okay." She nods "Sounds like you just as soon no one else know your business. I'll try to respect that. If I remember this, can I at least tell some at Earth Runes you're well last I saw you? And your sister?"

She does notice that he's changed. The voice. The eyes are more penetrating though that might be the dreaming

"You think telling anyone would do anyone any good?"

She ponders then says "Yes. Some of them worry about you. And Lily is your sister still."

"Jo Jo" Jo Jo offers coffee to both

"Uh... thanks." he says softly, but doesn't drink just yet "She's my sister, mom and dad are still my mom and dad, and everyone... everyone is still everyone...." he looks around their surroundings.
OOC DD? Loosely?

They've left the keep which was swept away behind them after 'exploding' as is proper when heroes walk away. They've come to hilly country rich in coffee beans and rather picturesque. They're on the silver, of course. There's a clearing with protection to the side if they want coffee. Siv pulls out two metal cups for them and Jo Jo pours

"With some changes like I said. " she nods "Lily is older now, though still away away from wilder"

He steps off to the clearning, taking his coffee with him; she and JoJo are welcome to come along. He unslings his pack and sets up a small, quick camp; more of a pitstop. He does this with easy practice and out of his pack; a small fire, a folded ground cloth for padding which he offers to Siv, a short leather flask set on the ground next to where he sits.

Siv takes it, "Mightly gentelmanly of you" Siv says "Are ye happy where you are staying?" She asks

"Yeah." he pokes the fire up, offers her the flask first "Good room and board, training, patrol responsibility, plenty of action. I get a stipend too. My liege looks after me."

He motions with his armored arm.

"Well, I am glad for ye then, but all sorts of curious" She admits, taking the flask putting it in a bit of coffee, and drinking "I know you've always had a hard time finding just the perfect place for ye. "

He takes the flask back when offered, and takes a nip straight.

"I can tell you while back to mortal, your mother and father are doing well" A sip after she returns the flask "Oh, Dagmar, Symon and Sylvi are at college... Jimmy too"

"Yeah? Good for them." softly, but not falsely.

"At Earth Runes, I understand that Baron August is getting a law degree, or at least in PRe law, the Baroness is very proud of him. Lord Hume is heir and for now folks are at peace with that. Turns out Minerva is a commoner sidhe," A sip "Sir Bachdion keeps talking about retiring from mentoring but no one believes him" she pauses "he does worry you've been gone so long"

"Mother and Da are.... well, Dad stepped down as Mountain" A frown "Zane thinks he did that. Blames himself. Zane's at Dark Gate now"

He's quiet a long moment.

"He was angry at me the last time I saw him." finally "Sir Bachdion. Zane.... wish I'd had a chance to say good bye."

"Sir Bachdion is a satyr, they tend to run hot fast. Piper sure does. They feel hard" She sighs "And he got scared for you. Fiona never take that well, do we?" Then a nod understanding about Zane "Zane wishes it too. He's becoming a skilled wizard"

"He already was."

An amused look "I suppose he always was. Don't tell him I said this if you ever met him again, but he's gonna be a legend." Then to assure "He's doing well. Da got him on a good start"
