"But, Grand Dame, this is how she showed up. I wasn't dreaming about succubus. Ididn't even know she was there, until she showed herself to me."

"the succubus is a default state. She's become more and more what you wanted. I think" The grand dame considers "I could be wrong mind you. No fool like an old fool they say"

"I just want her to be who she is."

Nab says "He would never TRY to make me into something I'm not ..though, in away that's what I do ddo. I pick up on the fantasies ofo thers and become that so I can feed" Nabuni thinks about it

Then she adds "Will I change more?"

"when he fully becomes a sidhe? it's quite possible" Bondraste says

Adam smiles, then if falters. "You ok with that, Nab?" some worry.

"I.. dont' know" Nab says with a surprise

"Oh." at a loss.

"I mean, I guess if I change it'll be liek I won't be in a situation where I will mind?"

"But are you ok with that?Imean.... it sounds kind of creepy-mind-control."

"I'm pure dream.. it's part of the danger how flexible I am."

"I like danger."He grins "And your flexibility."

A chuckle from the elderly Fiona nearby

Nab bumps him lightly

His grin is unrepentant. "Well... if it happens, and you don't like it, tell me. Ok?"

"I will try but sometimes I don't know what's going on. Mostly I read passions"

"You should enjoy being here, at least." With a sigh "I'll try to keep an eye on you, too."

"Thank you for bringing this up, Grand Dame. I didn't know." sincerely.

"It's quite all right. I had a unicorn once. He transformed." She says

"Yeah?" awe in his tone as he gazes on her. "What happened?"

A slight blush "that's a story for another time" the old woman chuckles

Nab's eyes widen and almsot glows from some memory

Adam glances from one to the other and grins. "Ok, of course, Grand Dame." (he does have SOME tack....)

"Grand Dame? I think... well.... I just want to say. Nab and I... we're a package deal. I really want to learn from you, and the knights, and I love it here. Just.... we're bonded, they say. I can't leave her out there somewhere. Are you ok with that?"

"I see? Well, as long as you understand that some lessons are going to be just you and she wont' be able to attend those?" the older woman answers

"Oh, sure!" relief "I mean... I don't know if you have to teach both of us, just that she'll be here. With me. I mean, when she wants to be. We're not exclusive."

"She's her own person." He smiles and kisses Nab's cheek.

Nab smiles "I really couldn't be monogomous. I think I'd die"

"You'l l fit in fine" The old woman smiles

Adam smiles broadly, happy. "Cool."

"She met Sir Bachdion.... uh. Sir Magnus was in his rooms. With his wife. You think I should go knock?" he asks the Dame.

"Oh I'll handle Magnus. Now there is someone who MIGHT Nix Nab being here, and you should ask her if it's okay and make introductions"

"Who?" worried.

"The Baroness Coradel, Dear. Right of Demesne" The Old Fiona tuts "We are your mentors, but she rules all that happens in this hold"

He swallows. "Oh."

"She's......"

"He's gonna have his brains fall out" Nab explains

Adam looks faintly offended. "Hey."

The old woman covers her face with a fan

"Sorry, Adam but you know how you get around some sidhe" Nab says with a shrug

"Hey... Grand Dame? Do Sidhe have the same effect on other Sidhe? I mean.... I figure they can't because otherwise nothing would get done but..... man......" He trails off, his attention on Bondraste.......

"Oh, even we can be in awe of ourselves" She says "I remember when I first saw another sidhe after my dream dance had subsided. I was borderline worshiipful, and yet he also felt natural. Remember, Adam, you are as much as Sidhe as I am now , it's just sleeping. So with that in mind, try to think of how sidhe look as not less beauitful, but fit and right?"

"........."

"Yeah. Like... like that's how I want to be? Not... not 'cause I want to be like that but that's how I -should- be?"

"So it would appear , dear. Sidhe was in your blood. Now it's in your soul" The Granddame nods "Magnus has theories"

Adam seems introspective.

"Yeah. Oh, hey... Thank you, Grand Dame but.... I do want to introduce Nab to Sir Magnus myself. I mean.... if you can put in a good word for me, THANKS! But... "

"But you don't want to rely too much on me when you don't have to?" Not offended

"Uh. No. I... I said I would? It's my responsibility."
