"Well, there you go.. everyone inn? Take a seat and I'll drive us up to the hold"

"Ludmilla?"

"Will you ride with us?" it might be even more of a squeeze with the troll on board, but.....

"I'll walk" She offers "bit crowded for trolls full grown. would you watch the children for the drive back?"

She has her limp, but it appears Ludmilla would raher not gget crushed

"Of course. We'll see you there."

And back they drive, the childlinggs lookingg over the boggann with care

When they arrive, the boggan girl awakes "The purplesnorkawakerr won't FIT in the Closet annymore" She starts, thenn look around

"Let her sleep." August cautions, too late.

"Hello." he changes tactics "We're taking you to a Freehold; you'll feel stronger soon."

"Oh.. a freehold?" The boggan smoothes her dress

"Yes," Isis nods "You shall be our prisoner, and we shall fill you with gglamour and food and make you enjoy a hot bath, and there's nothing you can do about it. "

Popppy joins in with a 'mwhahahaha"

"I'm.. not with them" Enri tries to explain

"I'm Kenny" The kinainn boy smiles

"I'm nelsonn, SQUIRE to the Earl" Nelson declares, then whispers "Actually, Earl is his name, not his title, but it's funny to say i that way"

August presses his lips together to control his expression.

"My name is Gail Liddel" The boggan declares "Some folks call me Liddy...annd I am not afraid of full meals or hot baths"

"Oh..." Isis steeples her claws (Err fingger tips) "You will be." A snap of her finggers she looks to the otherrs "We may also have to give her nice clothes"

"Oooo fancy" Enri sighs "Silk, lace, Roofles!"

"Frilly dresses you can't hardly climb a treed tree in" Poppy shivers

Nelson ponders "Vashti?"

"Vashti" Kenny agrees

"Let's feed her to vashti!" Isis claps

"What's a Vashti?" the litle boggan asks

"A creature of the night" Poppy makes flappingg motions "She'll fix you up good."

Fadhilla shakes her head with a smile as they pull up

"Vashti is our fashion designer." August explains kindly. "She is a pooka, much like our friends here." he indicates the childlings in question.

Then helps the childlings out after they park safely, and offers his hand to help Fadhilla out as well.

"I've met, Pooka before, sir" Gail Liddel nods

"Baron" Kenny says "August is a Baron. I'm his page"

"Page?" Gail looks him over "You seem nnice, but I'd put you at a paragraph."

"Ha! " Poppy grins

Fadhilla takes the help out and seems to move with greater ease

(PLease flp Kenny to Benny , too many to edit now)

((No worries! I had figured out what you meant))

Benny asks "Should I have them prepare a room for Miss Fadhilla and Gail Liddel?"

"Yes, Benny, thank you."

the page races a ahead. That's how it ggoes, some Pages take a bit, others go past quickly

August escorts the group towards the door behind Benny.

"What's this?" Coradel says as she trots up to them on Samson. She's wearing a very smart riding habit, glamorous in its strict, trim lines. "August, I didn't know we were having a parade," she adds with a smile.

A large book mobile waits in the background...

Annd ann Eshu grump inclines her head

Bennny can be heard inside gettinng the Steward

Coradel nods courteously back to the grump.

"Coradel." he says warmly, the eshu's arm in his. "May I preset Fadhilla, the proprietor of this book mobile? Ludmilla invited me to go with her and the childlings to meet it. And this is Miss Liddel; she's had some challenges and I invited both of them to visit us for a day or so. Miss LIddle was in Ms. Fadhilla's bookmobile, resting."

The boggan chidlling bows low, lookingg so faded it's amazing she knows who she is

"Gail Liddel"

"Ms Fadhilla," another nod, "and Miss Liddel...oh." Her smile vanishes immediately. "Oh, do get her inside quickly!"

"Let me stable Samson, and I'll meet you by the balefire shortly."
