Magnus raises a brow, "Okay.. Sis is the one who got the politis gene. I need to remember that"

"So...we're a banner house. We have already met two more of the Truthbranch...followers? Members? We don't know if there are more that we simply haven't recognized. I think we need to find out, and locate them before somebody else does."

"My concern thwre is tipping our hand too early."

"The satyrs - and perhaps Grey and Cahill? Laoghaire...." She trails off.

Coradel listens a moment before quietly adding, "Vince."

"Well, those were more your personal knights sister rather than members of the... Banner House but Vince.." A pause "Vince might be."

" I'm open to options to protect those who are our people. But before we go public, as it were, I need to go on the library Quest. When I returned with a book, we will know more and be able to approach the count and countess. And then the parliament of Dreams. Then we will be public."

Sorry guys, voice to text. I think you can translate?

"Won't that be fun?" Claire says

"..right..." A frown.

"When do you leave?" Coradel asks quietly, looking at what's left of her wine.

Clare looks to Sparrow, "I think what Magnus is saying is that... you have to be OF the Great House a Banner House is sworn to to be of the Banner House formally. So for example, I'd never be of Banner House Truthbranch even though I am of FAMILY Truthbranch" She puts a thumb to her chest "Because, you know, Ailil"

" I don't know. Zara news you're a better house. As far as I'm aware, she does not know the content of my meeting with my house leadership. Originally, we were going to find and enjoy the library. That is changed for me. I think she will support me, we need to decide what our next steps are."

A frown. "That means I am not of the Banner House Truthbranch, either."

"No, we're still Fiona.. but We are allies to the Banner House," Magnus looks at his mom "And we ARE of the familhy"

"What if Truthbranch is of both houses?"

A thoughtful nod, both at August and Magnus...then a grin to August. "Another reason why I couldn't take it up."

"Your marriage was the start of the house, that union..."

An interested look. "Possibly."

"Crap. If that's the case I have to attend meetings" A face from Magnus

"There is nothing to say an Oath could not be made, if someone wanted to do so."

Claire bites her lip but leaves it be.

"August...you said there was a list? Of members of the Banner House Truthbranch?"

Magnus says "I.. I think we have more help than we realize by the way"

"How so?"

"There was a tapestry. I can ask for access, I think it will be granted."

"Because , with father's permission,I've been searching Fiona sources."

"And signs indicate that House Fiona, not all of it, but a large chunk of it... has assisted that little Banner House." He pulls out a scroll

"..ah..."

"This bears a notation from one Fiona lord, talking about sheltering a Winged Warrioress and those loyal to her..." He hands it over to his sister

August sighs. "I asked you to get your -mother's- approval......"

She takes it, raising an eyebrow.

A wry grin. "Approval granted, if a bit late."

Sparrow reads an account of a redheaded winged warrior and some commoners loyal to Liam being sequestered ...

and it rings.. some odd bells.

Her wings fidget as she reads, the narrative tugging at buried memories... other lives...

August waits silently, allowing her to find her way....

Yes, she remembers... grandfather?

She closes her eyes, grasping...

August touches her with a fingertip and gifts her with Glamour, just in case it helps....

A startled noise.

And more of the memory flows!

OOC: C something else 🙂

"...disco?"

"More than that, Sis, you tried to get the Banner House recognized.. and according to that, nearly died. Someonee wanted to keep the Truthbranch's DEAD"

"But that would have been before the 80s..."

"It seems"

"So that ..cult with the Leanhaun was NOT you" Claire says

A slow nod, frowning.
