the first says "Please don't let it be me, your ladyship. I just wwant to enjoy my Dreamers"

Near by the seat of power, relaxes Vinci. Was he here all along? Or did he slip in when Coradel was distracted at some point? Either way, he's there now, unassuming, and seems content to lounge near the base of the dais. He idly examines the nails on one hand, checking his manicure, between occasional glances up at the supplicants through trailing tendrils of mane.

Coradel looks at the first sister. "Hmm. So, you'd enjoy musing without competition, and without the burden of instructing others? I'm not at all sure that's the sort of behavior I want to encourage...." She taps her lips with a well-manicured fingertip.

"I mean, merely that , I've so rarely gotten a chance to enjoy my musing's fruits, lady, now that I finally have a chance? yes, I would like to. And, also, I resent my sister and am not sure I can bring myself to teach her well" the first sister says

"That...seems reasonable. Well...we will find you a teacher to guide you until you remember all the steps of musing," she says to the second. "And you," to the first, "will allow her to muse the next Dreamer you find if she does not find one first."

"Yes, Lady. Thank you." //The other sister sighs and pouts at the work, but bows as well and the two walk off.

A nod to each as they leave, then she looks to Delores. "A teacher shouldn't be too hard to find, I hope."

Delores smiles, "I think we can get one or two options"

"Good. Well, then...what's next?"

Inish announces "Our next complaint is brought forth by a kinain with her nocker father. As she is not fae but fae blooded, you are not obliged to hear her out. Will you hear her?"

"Kinain? I don't see why not. Bring them in."

He stretches, settling back down, and watches with interest, eyes lazily trailing from the lady to her subjects, and back again.

As Vince moves, she gives him a fond smile.

"Oh for the love of Tesla, don't do this , Hedwig" A nocker man looking about 40 is following his teenage daughter, she ..is hard to guess her age of at first. But a second look would guess around 16 or so. One reason for the initial confusion? she is,well, flat as the proverbial board.

"It's Hedy, Dad, which at least is better than Hedwig. There's a reason Lamarr changed the furking name" The girl says but gulps a bit when she sees the nobles, and bows

Coradel nods a welcome in reply, and smiles at the two. "Greetings. How can I help you?"

In the back of the court, a white-haired sluagh approached Inish, with a slender elf in tow. He's handsome, but all sidhe are, with sparkling eyes and dark, flowing hair.

"No furking probemo, here your grand sidhness," the nocker assures, "My daughter's just being you know, hormonal, you teenagers"

"Oh?" She's a bit amused. "Well, that's not exactly a problem, but it can cause challenges...." She looks to the girl. "Can you tell me what's going on?"

The new Sidhe is dressed in a rather Edwardian set of voile dapper in silver and black.

"Absolutely nothing is going on, Baroness, and I thought that was just a cruel act of mean mother nature" she straigtens her Star Trek T shirt which is long on her waist

He quirks an eyebrow in interest as he eyes the newest entrants, but his attention is drawn back by the fussing kinain.

"But it turns out, I'm under an enchantment! My dad! He's good with metamphosis...and .. I think...I think he's used it to keep me from... well, ornamenting my hood if I'm not being too subtle"

"Hahaha Kids!" the father laughs, "Crazy idea am I right? That would be a project of years! Who would do that?"

She looks to the father. "Mister...I'm sorry, I don't know your name...." she glances to Inish.

"Pardon, your Ladyship, that was my slip" Inish says "This is Goodnocker Clancy "Claptrap" Keller and his daughter, Hedy"

"Then, Goodnocker Keller, I'm certain that you would want your daughter to be free of any unwelcome enchantments, if they did exist?"

"Oh ho, sure..." he gives a wide eel faced smile "But no enchantment on my daughter is what I'd define as unwanted"

"Dad! At least three different changelings have kenned me and said they sense glamour, not in me, but ON me. "

The New Eiluned coughs into his hand

She glances at her companion. "Care to share?"

He leans forward, inhaling deeply, as though he could smell the enchantment.

Indeed, there is glamour on her, not just in her, and those kenning can tell

the Eiluned whispers to Zara "I'm not sure I should say anything, but remember how I said some Eiluned can read the winds?"

Coradel gives the father a long look...then points at him. "You love your daughter, and you want her to live to her full, honest potential, so if you do have an enchantment on her against her will, drop it now." It's possibly the most casual use of dictum anybody in the court has ever seen.

She nods. "You reading her?"

A nod

And then, the Nocker father snaps his fingers, and ...

The T shirt....rises. Indeed, the girl's smartphone begins to play the theme from 2001 the space oddessy... as the magic is released, and so rise, and continue to rise... the gifts nature intended

Soon her once long T is a midriff, and a proud set, well on the more abundant than average size is somewhere under neath the Enterprise D

"Ah furk" Claptrap winces

A dubious look at the nocker. "You were saying?"

A rumble of amusement.

Hedy Grins "YES! In your FACE Ashlely Coppen, you plastic bi..." then remembers where she is

"I mean, thank you baroness," The girl says, "thank you thank you"

Zara stifles a giggle with one pale hand.

Claptrap groans "oh Baroness, now she's gonna have furking..boys after her. Daughters are complicated enough without.. you know? you don't know"

She smiles to Hedy. "You're welcome, but those will take some getting used to. And a new wardrobe. A word of advice...foundation garments will be your friend, but let the girls out every now and then, too."

"I will!" she beams

The steward whispers to the Baroness, "Lady, with your permission, I'll have one of the seamstresses take her aside and help her with advice and a few choice tops to take home?"
