"I'm good. Nab, you good?" he grins.

"Yeah, learning tennis" She says

"I noticed the outfit" He says and leers

She preens

"She does look good."Adam agrees. "And she's not playing bad, either."

"Oh Leonora's running circles around me" She says

"You're learning" Jack says "No shame in not knowing it all when you're learning"

Nabuni blushes again "I suppose."

"He's right." Adam encourages her.

"Well,, thanks." She sips "How are things for you, Jack? Besides coming in second I mean"

"Ouch, Nab...."

HE DOES raise a brow 'besides that'

"Sorry" She smiles

He snorts "Otherwise ,doing good. Same old same old. Everytimg this year folks start to feel a bit squirelly about the Samhain pull"

Adam snorts a little. "Yeah." with feeling.

"Oh well, most chimera aren't like that we either get changed when thnose we're bonded to do, or the forces of the season act on us more visibly" Nab says

"Hey, you'll let me know if anything happens, right? If I change?"

"I didn't last year but....."

Jack looks at him "Mmm how would you know if you did or not ? memories are fuzzy then"

"Last year was the first year I've ever forgotten Halloween."

"But, I'm not Fae really? So how can Iswitch courts?"

"Way I hear it Adam, you are fae, just resting. Just because the moon hasn't come up doesn't mean the tides don't feel it" Jack advises "maybe you will, maybe you wont, but I would bet on can't. Even kinian are affected."

"Well, Nab, if Ido, tell me?"

"If I know.. adam it's more like... well if you just went unseelie you'd probably know by how I would change. "

"How would you change?"

"A lot depends on your own nature.. not just seelie and unseelie, but the facet or role you seeyourself as in those courts" She says

"But... I don't see myself with a role like that."

"It's complicated, think of it as your legacy to the Dreaming" Jack says "the niche your personality fills in side the court"

"Doesn't that take us back to my soul being asleep?" a little glumly "I guess I just don't know how it's supposed to work. Guess we'll find out."

"Even kinian have courts" Jack says "Taht's what I'm saying"

"Ibelieve you, man, Ijust don't .... like, I haven't done it. No experience, if that makes sense?"

"course it does, Any expereince you had, you forgota nyway. Lot of folks in the same boat. Still" He wipes the counter "I see it.. folks start putting their passions before they're duty, start thinking Honor's bull shit... more and more and click"

"Yeah, Iguess that makes sense."

"Sucks we can't remember though."

"Everyone thinks that" Jack laughs "I think that. Though to be fair, sometimes it's funny... drives the curious types, Miss Zara, the Eiluned, some others BONKERS "

"Miss Zara's pretty cool."

"Oh yeah, the Baron asked her to be librarian and she took to it like a duck to water" he nods

"She's got some interesting fantasies too" Nab says

"She does?"

"Do not share whatever you saw, she will find out and it will not go well for anyone who heard" Jack warns

Nab pouts, then nods "Okay. Point. Sluagh have very little humor about that"

"Not like I'd judge her or anything."

"Doesn't matter. She'd be miffed" He warns

"Still, if she's not cool with people knowing... Imean, there is such a thing as a right to privacy. And to Dream, even for Dreams."

"Just so" He nods

Nabuni blushes "Well, I can't HELP it always. "

"It's okay..here, have some more drinks. I promised Adam I'd let him have a night to go nuts on the booze if he wanted"

"What, tonight!??!" Excited. "Nab, you don't have to help it. It's just how you are, and you know how to respect people."

"Sure.. you seem done with your chores... and it's a slow night. I'd rather do it while I can keep an on you. Few things though. First? Keys if you got em" He says "I'll be taking those"

"Nope, no keys. They're in my room. Want me to go get them?"
