"Yeah. I'm holding."

"Good on you. Don't worry, we'll slap that sidhe to the surface somehow"

"Yeah. Maybe."

"Hey, you're one of a kindd.. don't beat yourself or anyone else for it having some odd rules"

He sighs. "Yeah."

"You're feeling tense lately. Boggan dar." he explains "Part of that 'it sucks' thing?"

"Yeah."

"How can I help?"

"No one can help." glum but accepting.

"Well, that DOES Suck"

"Yeah."

"Anyway." He scuffs at the ground. Dumas sniffs it.

"Anyway.. look. I don't know your problems well enough to say... but if you ever want to spar and burn off some pissed, I'll be happy to slap you around with practice weapons and vice versa. Been teaching Tylar. I can teach you"

Adam thinks.... nods. "Yeah. Cool. Take you up on that."

"And... yeah, thanks. Thank you, Thane Rollo. I appreciate the offer."

"No prob. Just when you do become a sidhe make sure the stick that goes up your ass never replaces your brain cells"

"Huh?"

"Some sidhe get anal"

"I don't judge."

"Every body judges a little"

"Danger is in becoming what you hate or fear "

"I'm not scared of anything."

"Even Fiona know fear kid. I've seen it. Day they stole August.. the Baron. The Baroness was terrified. She also became the most dangerous woman I ever seen. FIGHT is also a fear response. One dead balor"

Adam thinks about this and asks "Only one?"

"To be fair, not sure on the kill count"

He nods. "Yeah I get that."

He scuffs the ground. "Anyway, thanks."

"No problem. You've had a chaotic road . I get that"

"Someone, a Balor, stole the Baron? How?"

"I mean... if you can say."

"Oh I forget the details.. I think he was drugged and stolen... kidnapped. Got roughed up though bad. ANd the Baron is not a bad fighter .. not great, but not bad. Mostly he's a peaceful sort. His wife? NOT so much"

"Yeah." a grin.

"We would go to hell and back for her.. funny thing? She'd probably hold a party on the llust level"

((Lust or last?))

(Lust) 🙂

A wistful sigh.

"Sorry Junior, you must be THIS Cool to manage that"

"Yeah. Maybe someday. I have enough problems as it is right now."

"Thanks again."

"You're welcome. See you around"

"Yeah." Adam slopes along.

But Adam is not the only Fae here... obviously. And August.. August maybe getting a surprise

.............

August seeks his soul's son.

And finds him, in a small back up study going over some notes

He taps at the door.

"Come in"

"Magnus. You are well?"

"Well enough I suppose. Kind of want to pinch someone's head"

"Pinch... someone's head?"
