"Bachdion?"

((How many are still following?))

Bachdion appears on Coradel's lap!

Just as the other front tire catches fire, somehoww holding on thanks to the Boggan's love for her car alone

(One and a half)

That's an abrupt and furry surprise, and she yelps, "Wha?!"

"I think we're going to need to stop..."

"Not yet!"

"Everyone grab a part of me, if you want to live!"

That from Bachdion

"Oh the size of my bill for this," Someone mutters. The pooka?

She grabs hold, but can't help but say, "You've always wanted to say that, haven't you?"

She lays a wing on him. Delores says "I can't let got of the wheel, we'll die. You grab onto me!" She blinks "Lower would be good." As the satyr complies

The nocker almost yanks a horn back

"Deryn, quick!"

Sparrow keeps a hand on the nocker and another on the satyr.

The car hurdles as Claire grabs another shoulder and...

Bachdion calls out "Ruby Slippers for all! " And there's a burst of glamour and ...

a noble Subaru dies tragically deserted

Coradel is determined that there will be reparations...but not right at the moment.

They appear in a heap in the middle of the court, a voice saying "Do what you can, but I want them found."

the Jester looks at the group while the thanes ready to scour the city, points to Coradel and says "And for my next magical trick."

Sparrow is quick to grab her quarry once more, not allowing him any leeway.

Coradel looks at the Jester and laughs, collapsing back on the floor in relief for a brief moment.

The Baron raises a brow then sees the Swan Pooka, "Odette. I did not expect," e inclines his head

She rises and curtseys, wordless save for, "My Captor."

Coradel gets to her feet, helping up those near her if needed.

Sparrow stands, rapier in place against the nocker's back.

A thane approaches, "Permission to take your prisoner, Lady?" To Deryn

"Granted. I have his weapon. We need to see the Baron."

The Baron appears to be right before you all

Coradel gives Bachdion a quick, hard hug, then approaches the Baron and curtsies before him. "My Lord, we bring before you one who would have killed at least one of us." She gestures to the nocker.

The thane takes the prisoner pulling his eyes from LaFair to Coradel "I see. yes, it makes sense now. Sir Bachion's flicker flash drew you back, but took time. You see, a suburu belonging to Delores smashed into an Alt Right call center over an hour ago."

"No one was hurt"

Sparrow hangs back, rapier re-sheathed, arms folded - but her wings are still mantled and restless.

Claire whispers to Sparrow, "Beautiful work in capturing the guy by the way. Even if I had wings, couldn't have done better."

She flashes a smile at the AIlil. "Trust me, if I had stopped to think, I probably would have chickened out..."

"Good thing you're a truthbranch then," sly compliment dig combo

Coradel gives Delores an apologetic grin, then returns her attention to the Baron. "We were being pursued by three on motorcycles. We believe they were trying to silence this one."

"Half-Fiona. So I'm reckless on even days."

"Yes," the baron nods as the thane is putting regular shackles on the nocker , about wrists and ankles.

Coradel nods and quiets, but she's restless now. She casts a look at Miss LaFair.

"Take him to the dungeon. I will learn all that he knows. Keep him safe, watch his food, and more." An order to the thane, "By the time he is done, I will know more of them than he himself does. If he is fortunate, I will not let him relive the inevitable minute before his last breath over and over again " The Baron's age seems to fade slightly as his eyes flash with sidhe ire.

Sparrow shifts her weight, looking over at Cora.

Miss LaFair seems to be holding very still.

The Eiluned's ways are not her ways, but still she looks with pride upon her strong lord.

The Thane gives a nodding bow, and the Nocker seems scared shitless. But better in the baron's hands than those bikers yes?

That IS the question!

The eyes of the Baron fall on the wounds on Delores' arm, and Coradel's legs from the bugs, "How badly injured are you all? "

Coradel turns to watch Miss Lafair as the nocker is escorted out.
