Zara taps her chin. "Lady Captain Siv is also.. mm... flamboyant. She can serve as a good buffer for attention, that we may act with less direct notice."

"I have worked with her in the past." He offers, a tidbit that he hasn't shared. "Under another face."

Head tilt, eyebrows lifted. "Aye?"

"We raided the treasure room of the bandits who were kidnapping centaurs..." If she has time for another cup of tea, he will share the tale.

There is always tea.

A quite interesting tale! A close call, almost having his head caved in before convincing a mighty centaur named 'Buck' that they came in stealth in the centaur's favor, a griffon fledgeling rescued, and even a small balefire spark recovered.

"I'm glad the griffon was taken in by Count Hemlock. It's screech when it was hungry could peel paint - and it was always hungry. The spark - that became Goldfinch Freehold. A nice enough place, if you like that kind of thing."

"And Buck hast found a rather comfortable home and bed. Though, ach, I can only imagine the noise of the gryphlet."

"NOT sorry to see the end of that one." He agrees. "Siv masterminded that plot, I'll readily admit. Though, it was interesting to take Pooka form, even outwardly. Rather than being watched with suspicious, everything I said was discounted as not worth paying attention to..."

"Rather freeing, in a way." He sips.

"I find it fascinating to slip into the guise of another kith, to understand how the world operates from a new perspective. Very enlightening. Though pooka is one I have not tried."

"I can text Siv, unless you prefer to give her a call. I'm sure she'll help."

"Perhaps invite her presence with us?"

He nods, and sends a text to Siv.

TXT: need some help in the ship department. important. u around KC?

TXT: I'll see if I can get off work early today.

TXT: no rush. planning stages. library.

TXT: Dangerous adventure? Derring Do needed? One can read the hope through the text

TXT: not sure. hope not. (Siv may roll her eyes) will help ur mom out, though.

TXT: I always miss the exciting stuff. Still yeah, mom. You know I'll be there!
