August's bare butt gets a firm grip, but then, as he has his hand on something of Leonora's, who is he to judge.

"That was nice," Leonora says and kisses him

"Merry Beltaine." He says with soft warmth.

"Merry" She smiles, then glances over at the OUT cold Coradel, "God she's gorgeous..but let's scoot out of here before we wake her huh?"

It is, after all, 2 in the morning, and wwhile the two might want to talk... Coradel will need her rest for the events tomorrow

August nods and slides out... although he pauses and kisses Coradel on the temple before he takes his clothes and slips out after Leonora.

Leo slips on a robe and walks the halls with him "Look, decorations arelady up. Delores and crew are amazing"

August managed to pull on all his clothes, even boots. Although she might suspect he's gone commando, of necessity. "They are." He agrees.

"So... Temerity's mission... a success.. I didn't think she'd have it in her. " A smile "She too a family that was going to kill each other, pretended to be a lost mouse needing love..and intead of being killed.. she mused them to get along. "

The idea was crazy, but pooka ccan get away with Crazy most can't.

In the corner of a hallway, they pass by a familiar leg, sprawled out from an alcove, and half covered with a bit of silk sheet. Snoring from behind the curtain.

August shakes his head. "I had faith in her ability but... if it were me, I would not have been able to do it. Do you hear that?"

"Sounds like angels" She says "Angels with chain saws"

Oh, it's in stereo. A softer snoozing sound atop a lionish snore. He shifts, and the leg is drawn back in, maybe it was getting cold. Some start celebration early, some celebrate until Late, but Still Others keep Beltaine in their hearts (and pants) all the year through.

"I guess by morning they'll be ready to go again. I wonder if he's doing things for Charity again" She's tempted to peek

"... or to Charity...." August murmurs.

"Given how she smiles, I think we can safely say Vince isn't just 'lion around" A grin

August gives her a slightly long suffering look, and sighs.

A chuckle from out of sight - oh, did they wake someone up? And the softer snoring turns into a soft sound of complaint as she is woken up - but quickly turns into a coo of delight!

"I'm sorry, I blame pooka exposure" she says chagrinned

"We should, ah, move. Along. Or, away. I think."

"Right" And away they move

"Now.. about Magnus and this human trafficking situation.. do you know of I'm going along?"

"I don't have any more information." August frowns along familiar worry lines. "Magnus should be recovered by now but....."

"He is he is.. "SHe assures "It was bullets, not cold iron."

"Well, he hasn't shared any more with me. And if he'd told Coradel anything she'd have told me. I think."

"She would.. we know she would" A pause "She talks in her sleep"

Not necessarily true, but a good jest she hopes

August frowns. "You've heard her talk in her sleep?"

"No, no.. " A pause "Well, actually once..."

August stops and looks at her, listening.

"She called for your name when you were away, and gave an INCREDIBLE pout."

"She did? When was this?"

"Months ago.. but I dont remember the exact time"

"Oh." This seems to give him something to think about. They continue walking.

"She doesn't usually fall asleep first." He observes.

"She probably likes watching you sleep"

"I, ah, meant when we.... when it's not just the two of us."

"Ah" A nod "She doesn't betray secrets or anything when she sleeps not that I've ever heard"

August nods. After a few more steps together. "I hope she is ok."

"Coradel? She's more than okay"

"Good. Good."
