"You want it, it's yours, but lemme get you something that'll actually work....."

"But this is perfect..."

"For an outdoor shade? It's drek!"

"Drek for almost anything, in fact...." muttered.

"It's more.. ah.. for aesthetic?"

"Feh." But she bundles it up in paper.

Miriam gets a hug!

Bony, a touch clammy, but very happy!

A quick, tough hug back.

"I could take a picture?"

"A picture?"

Earl blushes for some reason

"So you could see how it all works out..."

"Oh, of the schmata? Yeah, fine." a little baffled as to why that's important but.... whatever.

"Aye, in my head it is very pretty."

"Well your head is a very pretty head, of course it holds pretty things" Earl beams a bit dopely

"Eeesh."

"Luftmensch." Fondly.

"they've been talking like this all day ,mama" Jacob whispers "It's icky"

"Yeah. Better keep your distance. Cooties."

the boy scoots further back

"Oh, aye. Cooties."

"But when you're in love as we are, you call them Cutiecoots" Earl says

Jaccob shivers at that. "Disturbing" ANOTHER foot back

"Love, dwell not in schmaltz."

"You two got nothing better to do, I got work for ya....."

Earl chuclkes, then blinks "Work?"

"You think this fabric sorts itself? How do you think these bolts got here? And you ain't even SEEN the industrial stuff!"

"I'll get to work" Earl says "Am I allowed to quick silver to speed this up? "

"I don't want you going fast and screwing it up......"

"RIght" he says and will forgo

"Hmmph."

Coradel's laughter rings down a corridor after a bard makes some clever quip.

August looks up/over towards that sound.

"Show time" Shallimar straightens August's outfit

"Showtime?"

Shalimar sighs and shoves August towards the sound of Coradel's laughter "how is it you've managed to begat?"

August pinks. "It was another lifetime ago...." but he heads towards Coradel's laugh.

Shalimar calls after him "Clearly, time for a refresher course" He looks over at Vashti "you see what I have to work with here?"

Vashti puts a finger to the Jester's lips, kisses the finger between them, and says "Shhh"

It seems to work

Coradel turns, smiling, as August approaches and reaches a hand to him.

He reaches for hers and takes it. "Blessed Imbloc." with a kiss.

Oh, he doesn't get away that easily. Once he is in her clutches...or at least, as soon as their fingers touch...Coradel moves to him with a dancing step, and soon enough is drawing him into a swaying dance step.

Earl helps Miriam, following her directions dutifully, and mutterrs "Yes, Ma" when she gets particulary fussy

The music around Coradel and August grows , and they might recognize the song that has been called is one from their FIRST Imbolc together. A tune of memory AND renewal

Zara helps, though she has her own opinions about how things should be sorted...

August has learned to dance, and recently seems to have learned a few new steps, a new grace.

And he seems mesmerized by his partner.

Coradel moves to his lead, turning and bending to his touch and direction...and enjoying every moment.
