Isis nods "We will fill her with food and glamour...and she will go 'oh nno, I am full"

"I will, yes." August, clearly entranced by the redhead, bows and continues to escort the group inside, and to the 'Fire."

"Excellent idea," she says to Isis. Then she turns Samson and urges him into a quick trot around towards the stable side of the manor.

Delores of course is happy to serve, the Steward blinks at somethingg as she meets Gail, "Of course"

Coradel asks a stable groom to care for Samson, makes sure to give Samson a carrot before she goes, and in short order the tap-tap-tap of her riding boots echoes in the hall as she approaches the balefire.

August helps to get everyone settled, and looks up at the sound of boots.

Fadhailia basks "Oh very nice"

"It is, isn't it?" Coradel responds to Fadhilla's comment. "Our balefire is such a delight. Now...how are you doing?" she asks the faded boggan girl.

A warm smile to August as she speaks to the guests.

August joins her at Gail's side.

"I'm well, Baroness... well, nno I suppose that's an untruth. But I will be"

"You'll rest here tonight." August insists gently "And feel much more yourself in the morning."

"Of course you will," she says confidently.

"How did you come to be in such a state?"

"It's a longg story, suffice to say I had a bit of an adventture getting a family heirloom"

"Are you injured?"

"A few scratches, Baron" She says

"We should have Emma come and see her."

"Miss Fadhilla, did you rescue her?"

the eshu smiles "Well, I showed up when she needed a friennd"

"Time by the balefire will do me fine," Young Liddel says with a smile

"Timely, of course," Coradel smiles to Fadhilla.

August brings both guests something to eat and drink from the delivery Delores makes, and encourages the other childling to enjoy as well but -not- with their books in their hands.

"And you are welcome to it," she nods to the boggan girl. Then she turns to one of the EarthRunes boggans and requests food and drink for all, and to fetch Healer Emma.

While they wait , the Steward tells the Baroness "Two rooms ready... hot bath. Miss Vashti has new clothes ready. There's something about this girl"

August gets caught up briefly with childlings wanting to read bits to him, which he indulges.

A possum arrives, riding on Poppy's back

Pooka.

"Oh, perfect, Delores, thank you. And here, Healer Emma, we have a patient for you."

"I really donn't mean to be trouble.. I... " Gail blushes

Ears perk and whiskers lift. She is a very clean and fluffy possum. Likely very soft to touch. Gail could find out@

She..kind of has to feel, a genntle pet

"Oh, nonsense," Coradel says to Gail.

"See, she don't bite, she just ggets all MELLOWDRAMTIC.." POppy explains

Emma knows when someone has barbwire cuts when she sees it

Emma is soft and fluffy, confirmed!

Her little pink nose gently sniffs at the girl - it is an examination, but it doesn't feel like one to Gail. The grey fluffball is not a threat.

Gail smiles "Frabjous day, callooy callay"

Emmapossum kenns the girl, checking her glamourous health as well as her physical.

And August makes his way back over.

Coradel reaches to take August's hand, fingers lacing with his.

He smiles.

Her glamour is WOEFULLY low but fie will help that

But there's a treasure on the girl

at her waist

sniff sniff paw

"Hey no.." the pen falls loose... and clatters to the ground turning into a sword !

Such a blade! Onn the side of it etched the words SNICKER SNAK!

"Miss Fadhilla, you are, of course, invited to stay with us for a time, if you wish."

"Oh!"
