August looks.....

"It's just two mortals. and we're not 'harming' them are we?"

"I don't think there's any way to stop them before they get to the airport." he murmurs.

Coradel watches, then starts to pace restlessly.

"Bachdion," she says.

"Does he know the area well enough?"

"Could he send me?"

"Let's find out...." She fishes her phone out of a pocket and texts.

TXT: Pls come to the Library now. Urgent

Hoofbeats racing down the hallway like a machine gun sound...quick silver plus satyr speed and he almost crashes into the library rapier drawn "AH HA! Base villains, you have..." He looks around "Okay.. my bad. Text said Urgent"

August moved between the crashing interoper and Coradel, but steps away when he sees who it is.

"Yes, different kind of urgent," she assures him quickly. "We must intercept the two who disrupted Carnivale. They have threatened the monarchs, and are now trying to leave by the airport." She steps aside so that Zara's scrying is visible.

"Can you flickerflash there? Do you know it well?"

"Oh" He says "Well enough. I've picked people up at the airport before. I'll go now id you like"

"Should we send Earl with?"

"August wishes to go. If you can send him and Earl," she pauses to nod to Zara, "they may have good success. If you can go as well, all the better."

"-I- need to go." August repeats.

"Do you need dross, Bachdion?"

"Earl would be extra juice to flicker-flash back."

"Oh, true. I was thinking 'troll' not his other skills."

"Zara, this needs to be done now. If you can tell Earl quickly, then perhaps he can meet them there?"

Texting!

Bachdion calls out in the hall ways "Zara's in danger!"

There is a sound of boggans being bowled over as a LARGE figure is on his way

A soft chuff. Pleased.

A sword drawn and Earl says "Zara are you..."

"I'll explain later..." Bachdion says putting a hand on August's shoulder and Earl's

"It's ok, Earl, it's ok.... Sir Bachdion was... being expedient."

"We do have a situation though; can you assist us?"

"Yes I just.." And that's when he, August, and Bachdion vanish!

Zara raises her hand. "I'm.. oh."

"Well."

"Coradel, do you wish to watch?"

They should be at the airport, but they could be ANYWHERE

Coradel watches that rush of action, giving them a serious nod of encouragement as they go.

Then she sighs. "Earl won't forgive him that easily. Yes, see if you can spot them...or follow the thugs and we'll see if they get intercepted."

"Oh! We can tell them where the thugs are..." she holds her phone ready to text.

"You tell them... once they are closer, I can switch the anchor to Earl. I can always find Earl."

"Yes, okay." She watches the image closely.

"Feh. They are kadokhes."

"They are what, now?"

"Kadhokes. Worthless people."

"Ah." Pause. "I wonder if that's related to okey-dokey," she muses in an off-hand way as she watches the men in the car.

"August wants to know where they're going to park," she adds, reading a text.

"Looks like... lot C?"

Coradel watches, rapt, as the ambush is sprung.

And they see the encounter about to begin!

(Pause)
