"Because, I am convinced you will eventually become a sidhe... I want a before and after.. a chance to learn more about sidhe souls. Yours is.. autumn, but it's still closer than most studies than I'll get"

"You... study Sidhe souls?"

"It's something of a fascination of mine. I want to learn how they expire.. and that means I learn their nature" She says

"How they.... expire?"

"You mean like... milk? Or.....uh, the other way?"

"Oh yes. Arcadian sidhe that possess are a mystery. Their souls, upon their hosts death, who knows what happens? So many theories. There are some who theorize that of ALL kith, only the Arcadian sidhe know an afterlife akin to heaven, or.. even hell. I find that a bit much but it is fascinating is it not?" She says "You appear to be an Autumn Sidhe.. but you came by it unusually so I think I can learn muc h from you"

"Sir Magnus talked a little bit about Autumn Sidhe......"

"He is one, as will you be.. but you nderstand why I would love a bit of your blood before and after? It would make scrying the nature of you , comparisons before and after, easier?"

"Yeah, yeah, I can see that. But, uh, a couple Pennons ago I got, like, super-warned about giving away stuff like that. Sorry." he -does- look abashed.

"I understand" She sighs "It's good advice. It's just.. well, I wouldn't do it to control you. More for science? or at least lore?"

"I wish." he agrees.

"Ah well. Thank you for listening, Adam. YOu really were very reasonable to at least hear me out" She nods graciously

"I wish I could." he says "Maybe if we can find a way to do it safely? I dunno. And, you're welcome."

He grins. "You guys be good now....." he winks, and walks away with his plates to the pooka and nocker girls. "Hey. Mind if I sit?"

"Oh no. Cooties" Zing says, but scoots over for him

He hesitates just a moment, but then sits down.

"You guys settling in ok?" He takes a bite. Doesn't matter of what, he's hungry.

Kylie says "not bad actually.. I think I'm getting this nocker shit down " She says and shows him a bit of jewelry

"Woah.... those are -nice-!!" Adam genuinely appreciates them. "Uh. Do you, like, sell stuff?"

"Well, sure, but I'm not a pro, nott yet.." She looks sheepish and swipes at her blue hair

Zing says "What my client means to say is that each Kylie Jewelry product is guarenteed to swell your manhood"

The nocker sighs "Pooka support." As if Adam will understand

"Uhh....." but he grins.

"Can you make jewelry do that?"

"HA" She snorts "If I could I'd charge a LOT. No, but I make some nice stuff if you wannt it for yourself or a friend."

"Cool." as he eats with excellent manners "I'm going to keep that in mind."

"Miss Zing, you doing ok?"

Zing watches his use of the proper forks and such, tail moving "He knows the secrets of the three seashells"

"He's just got sidhe training, Zing" Kylie says "She's fine"

"You guys have kith here to hook up with ?"

"Oh sure.. Nockers at the Keyclub... and Zing has..."

"Mufassa!" Zing says dramatically

"Yeah, other pooka" She says

"Though Dame Temerity scares the hell out of her" The nocker adds

At that, the pretty asian american girl with cat features looks around spooked

"She's pretty bad ass." Adam admits.

"She's taken to chasing Zing. In animal form. I keep telling Zing SHE is the feline here but.. she jus clambers on top of my head at the softest squeak"

Zing gives a hapless shrug

"I'll protect you. If you want." he offers, between bites.

"I respect the ballsize it takes to offer that," Kylie says "And I'm sure Zing does too, but Temeirty would chew you out for lunch"

"Sure, but then she's chewing me, not you."

Zing smiles "Oh my bold Leander." A kiss on his cheek and she says "it's okay"

He GRINS. "Just sayin'."

"So you guys know Vince?"

"Is it possible to NOT know Vince?" Zing says surprised anyone would ask

Adam smiles. "He's a great guy. I mean..... Awesome."

"He's a bit extra" Kylie says

Zing sticks her tongue out at her friend

Adam, it must be said, watches that tongue flicker. "He is, but he's solid. How do you guys know him?"

Kylie blushes "he crashed our party"
