She follows in. He could probably walk her off a cliff

"She is amazing, yes." he says, and shuts the door behind them. Locks it "Can I get you anything?"

As he asks, he takes out his phone and texts a warning to Leonora.

"Oh I should ask YOU that. Your legaloffice is just a start. Do you need a spare set of armor made? I can get it on order" She offers "Or i can make you tea"

"TEA.. yes, I forgot, Zara loves tea, poaches the good stuff sly girl. I should get her a tea room... I'll have to tear a back wall out at Jacks'..."

Leonora soon texts back TEXT: She WHAT? WTF?

"Well, for now, would you mind keeping me company with some studying?"

"Oh.. that will HELP you?" She asks

"It would." he admits gravely.

She nods "THen I will. I can text orders to the folks Earth Runes so I can work while you study" Confident "Now where do you keep the tea ? I'll get it for you"

"In the kitchen. No need to text anyone, though. We, ah... we have poor reception. And, we like it that way."

"Oh oh dear.. I Hope no one thinks I'm slacking" She sets her phone down since it won't 'work ' and walks to the kitchen

And her phone makes its way into August's pocket. For safekeeping.

Soon tea is steeping

He slips his shoes off, in keeping with habit, and gathers a few of his drier law books and waits on the couch for Delores to return.

Delores returns "Baron, your tea" She looks up "what's that? Oh yes... I can help with that"

"I hope you'll have a cup too?" he stands as she enters and gestures for her to sit with him on the couch.

She does, "Of course, you said you needed company so here I am" She sips "I'll try not to talk too much"

"I would value your thoughts... here...." he settles down and opens the book at a bookmark, and begins to read aloud.

She listens intention.. but sometimes seems to hear more voices than his

And thus... he keep her occupied and for now, safe from herself
