"He's young." August points out.

"Tylar, tomorrow can you arrange to be casually seen by our friend Sam?"

"Oh sure, I'll walk a dog or somethin" he says

"Thank you. A good day's work, my friends." August pulls up and parks in front of the manor.

Temerity hmmm "Given there were no decapitations, yes, high marks if you deduct that little miss"

"Little miss?"

"She's just sad she didn't get to fight, Baron" The Squiree translates "and that the redcap wasn't really the fighting sort"

"Fah, a minow, throw him back" Temerity says, and opens the door stepping out, and opens the baron's too "Don't worry, Baron. I'm sure we shall face glorious doom together soonn"

"Oh, thank you." to her getting the door, and he leads them within.

And in they go. For now, Sam/Sylgg seems to be in hand, or at least, as much as can be at this stage

August is sure to brief Coradel and let her know how it went, and check in with Hume to see if there's been any feedback from Sam on line.

Lord Hume says "Well, he tried. "

"Tried what?"

"To post on a forum about how somehow a Liam showed up etc.. I blocked it.. and sent him something"

"Something?"

"A display on his screen.. hope you don't mind" He presses a button

and a small seed bursts into the form of a silver oak, pretty effective artistic graphics, and on the wood of the oak are the words 'Play Nice'

A frown. "It's a little... on the nose. But I appreciate the effort."

"Ah, apologies, Baron.. should I let him post?"

"I didn't want him scaring Nan"

August thinks. "I don't mind him saying that I visited; that might not be bad, ah, press, as it were. But no reason to let him frighten Nan." a pause "If it seems as though he's serious about harming her, though.......or her dreamer.... we should take action."

Lord Hume nods "Okay. I'll temper his post for him so to speak"

"Or... can you just keep it from going anywhere? From reaching Nan or anyone else?"

"You mean like I already did?" A blink "Minus the graphic ?"

"Oh. I didn't realize you'd stopped it going anywhere. My apologies."

"Sorry, sometimes I forget you guys are newbs to this," Hume says "Let's just say he won't have any contact with the internet I don't approve of"

"Perhaps he can earn it back. Good work, Lord Hume."

"Thanks" He says "Internet bullies make it less fun for all us, you know?"

"Bullies, in general."

"Truth, Baron. " He nods "Uhm.. I know this is an odd thing to say, but thank you for letting me help"

"It doesn't strike me as odd at all." a pleasant smile "You're very welcome. Thank -you-, for your help."

"Happy to" A smile and he turns to his attention to his lap top

And the two barons part. Having found some common ground

(End scene)
