Zara is in "her" library, snuggled up with Bronte, tea, and a book.

Earl's voice down the hallway, far down, or her keen ears would know more than the identity of the speaker. But who is he speaking to?

Curiosity draws her closer to the door, listening

"I could do it, sir, but I'm not sure about accuracy...." Earl is saying "I'm not an astronomer or an astrologer for that matter." //"It would really help, and I can pay for it" Ah ha, the former Sir Bellamy "Let's just say I think a chart of stars in painting form would work, and... I assume the idea of working ona ceiling appeals?" //" Yes, what artist would be tempted?"

She drifts down the hall, shushing the wyrm on her shoulder with a gesture.

"But, you're working on something, a zodiac like patern on the ceiling in this hold? Seer business?" Earl askss, voice clearer than ever as they close//"Well, I am the Seer yes."

She lurks, watching.

"I think I can make it happen, yes. But the pacing maybe slow... I don't suppose you'll tell me more on ..possible ritual uses?"//"I had no idea you were interested in magics so, Earl. I thought that was your lady?"//"My lady is in a class by h..you changed the subject to evade the question." //"Did I?"

"Hello, Miss Zara" the Eiluned says

"Eiluned are good at evasion."

"But now I am curious... what are you planning?"

"Will you insist?"

"Mmm... depends."

"upon?" A smile

"How persuasive your euphemisms are?"

The Seer inclines his head, "I leave such swaying to your amour"

Earl smiles, "I think you heard what I know"

She draws close to Earl's side, placing a hand on his chest. "It sounds like the start of a great working."

Earl blushes "It would be for me, but the occult angle?"

"That is what I mean - a bunk component."

"It might serve more than once at same," The renamed Eiluned admits, "I was hoping to be able to ..assit the hold en masse and yet also detailed work"

"Oh, see? Now I am curious."

Earl mutters "you? nu"

A laugh from our good seer, "It has to do with tapping into the remaining Eiluned energies, and more. The Former Baron was of my house you know?"

"I am aware. I have some experience with your house."

"Hopefully mostly positive," he says "Let us just say then, that there are things in play here that... well, I will learn a lot by serving her"

OOC: Here

"Serving whom?"

"Serving here" Alamandine says

Earl raises a brow

"I am a sluagh, sir - not a Fiona. Would you care for a walk? Mayhaps to the library?"

"If you wish" Alamandine says, "Assuming Sir Earl does not mind?"

Earl shakes his head, "Just Earl is fine."

Zara leads the way back to her library, where tea waits.

The Eiluned and Troll both realize that the lady is to be seated first, and wait until she has done so. earl pulling her chair out a bit for her

Zara settles, and idly scritches Bronte's tiny horns. "So - you are interested in astronomy, sir?"

"And Astrology, though for us they are often one in the same"Alamandine smiles, "Though I don't limit myself to the Greek"

"No? What else do you study?"

"The Mayan Calender for a time, Chinese, a little. And all I can grab on what we believe of Celtic views"

"Ah. And so what do you hope to accomplish, with these painted charts?"

Earl will sip his tea, perhaps to mask an expression.

"I hope to be an even better seer, of course," Alamandine assures

"Aye? In what way do those help?"

"Well, you see," Alamandine sips slowly... perhaps deliberately so, then "If I can gather up the right...influences on each member of the hold, I will better know how Da'an and chance both move for each in particular and the whole as its sum

"

An eyebrow. "You are looking to map out all of the da'ans here? You know the risks, nu?"

"Oh yes," The sidhe assures, "But as much of it will be kept 'here'" He taps his forehead, "there's less danger"

"Unless you encounter a determined Baron or Countess."

"And, of course, that da'an may twist if it is handled overmuch..."
