Adam sighs and rests his head on Nab's breast, one arm draped around her. The bedsheet is pooled around his middle.

Nab snuggles

"So glad you decided to come here with me." Adam is snuggled right back.

"Well, Pretty sure they're going to have you too busy for THIS sometimes" A sigh "But that's okay. I hope they teach you more dueling... preferably shirtless"

"I will take my shirt off, regardless." he promises.

"And hey, not like you're going to go hungry here, huh?" his mouth moves; he must be grinning.

"Not likely" she says "Wow... the Baroness' fantasies are ..well, I'd share them with you but you're just not ready." A concerned look "Yeah, might break you"

"Hey...." he looks up, faux-hurt. "I can handle it! I mean.... yeah, ok, she's....." a sigh.

"Adam, you're a Fiona now. They don't always know what to be worried about" Sounding more like a girlfirend informing her guy of his limits rather than the sex kitten chimera she's supposed to be

A sigh. "Not a Fiona. Yet. Maybe."

He nuzzles. "That Baron came to talk to me. The Truthbranch one. Is it me or are there a lot of Barons and Baronesses around here?"

"Yeah. Seems a bit odd. Maybe there just aren't enough holds. I guess they're lucky they don't have a king bumming around?"

Adam snerks. "Just the Chief, Mountain, and Siv."

"Ha. Punny" she says

"Anyway. I'm still not sure what he wanted. Quiet guy." a shrug that rubs against her.

"He's a lIam, mostly they want to protect mortals I think"

"Yeah. He offered."

Adam stretches and somehow ends up sprawled over more of Nab than before. "I was about ready to leave, Nab."

"Oops"

a knock on the door

"Who is it?" he calls.

"Squire Tylar ap Liam. Not my bussiness, but you have to be up ready to help with the hawks in.. thirty minutes?"

"Oh, crap. Ok, thank you. Uh, squire. Thanks, I'm getting up....." And after a long kiss with Nab, he gets up to clean up and dress.

Nab watches him shower and go .. "Good luck"

"Why, am I going to need it?" A cheeky grin and he is off in the shower, water going.

And then, ready, he bounces back and will give Nab a kiss good bye if she's still there.

Nab is there, an returns it

"Back later. Have fun." He whispers with a smile, and dashes out.

and off he goes. He might owe Tylar a thanks, because Sir Sergei has no patience for tardiness. Instead, Adam gets there on time

Adam makes a mental note to owe Tylar a solid. As soon as he figures out who Tylar is.

GOOD question

One he casually asks Sir Seirgi.

"Squire Tylar ap Liam, sworn to Baron August. The Squire is a boggan. A hard worker"

"Oh. Yeah, that matches." Adam is carefully feeding and tending to the animals.

"Careful, they will steal from each other if given the chance"

"I know. This one's bossy. And the dogs all think they should go first. No teamwork."

"In time, they will learn"

"Yeah. Takes practice." He agrees.

A nod, and more lessons go with the chores
