Adam knocks on her door.

"Come in" A voice says

"She's in" Sir Bachdion says "It's Adam and..."

"Oh DEFINIELY come in, Adam.. I've been so worried"

The door swings open by magic

He enter. "Grand Dame...." in quiet greeting as he approaches.

And he nearly walks into a flying saucer...

err tea saucer that is... there's a cup whirling through the air as well

As a tea set is floating into place at a nearby table

He ducks and dodges.

"Dame?!?!"

"Oh sorry dear... Just cheating with a bit of tea prep. Have a seatt, all of you... oh it's so good to see you, Adam, up and about I mean."

Sir Bachdion bows and starts to take a seat

Magnus grins "Grandame"

Adam bows as well.

Bald and in black, but upright and speaking.

"Adam, sit sit.." She eyes his head "Oh my... I do miss the hair. You have such nice hair.. had. Oh well, it'll grow back" She says "I know why you did it."

tea is set for all of them

He takes a seat. "Thank you, GrandDame.."

"You're welcome dear," her smile dims, not in displeasure

But rather sympathy. She hugs him him from behind "She was a wonderful individual. Her loss was a tragedy"

She can feel the tension. "She was, and it is." Softly.

"Yes, and none hit harder than you" She makes the tea the way he likes best and hands out cups "I remember when I lost my Hank"

Bachddion and Magnus have their tea served as well, and sip kindly

"I don't think you have mentioned him to me. I'm sorry for your loss." Sincerely.

"Long time ago dear," She says "I was close to your age and.. yes, it felt like my heart had been ripped out. But I knew it hadn't.... if my heart wasn't still there, I wouldn't felt torn up like I did."

Adam nods with complete understanding.

"But it's better to hurt than not feel at all" She advises

"Yes, GrandDame." He agrees.

"now, I am ALWAYS delighted to see my grandson" She moves to take a seat to join them "But you and my fellow mentors together make me think this is more than a social call?"

Adam tells her about the plans for Saining.

She listens then says "And you want to knwo if I think you're ready? Oh my, mentor or not, I am a bit biased. I want you sained and happy and.. oh. my. Well, one of those has to take its time. "

"But saining... yes I think that's fine"

She touches his hand

He wraps his fingers around hers.

And tells her about the Wake Orgy.

"Oh my! She'd LOVE that. "

He nods sadly.

"And wilders must wild" She says with a nod "Yes, this is a way to not just honor a death, but more importantly, celebrate a life"

Adam nods. "It's open to everyone. She'd want that."

A nod "I think you've done wonderfully, Adam. I hope you have help?"

"I hardly did anything. " he admits. "Steward Delores has done everything. I made a playlist and I'm letting people know about it."

"You're the one opening he door, you had the key, and you might not understand- but this is a Fiona hold and everyone knew it" she says

"Yes, GrandDame."

"mm " She says "So formal."

"We're not at the house." He points out.

"True true.. sometimes I do forget" She says "But I'm proud to call you my grandson ANY time"

"If I could pick anyone to be my grandmother, it would be you." Adam says.

Oh, tthe old woman flares with the beauty of a sidhe feeling strongly, radiant pride and affection and love at that praise

"No living wiht her for a week after this" Magnus jokes under his breath
