"Happy Easter!" Two voices respond

"Leonora and Bachdion are visiting...."

"Oh!" She goes first to August to give him an enthusiastic kiss.

The two Fiona greet the third with a smile.

"Hello, my love!" to August, and then turns to them. "Oh, smiles won't do, you know that." Each get a happy hug and a quick kiss.

The hugs and kisses are returned

"It must be smiles-plus."

"We brought you an easter basket too" Leonora says

Baskets are on the kitchen table.

"Oooh!" she goes to look at the contents.

In side are... in addition to the easter regulars like a chocolate bunny , peeps, and so on...

there is also, under a protective wrap, a brand new tailor made suit for August, and a dress for Coradel

vibrant easter colors

Including a top hat for him, and an easter bonnet for Coradel

"Vashti did them special order"

"Oh, my! Oh, things to taste, and things in good taste!" She picks up the bonnet and poses for them with it on. "Is it glorious?"

"You are glorious." August avers.

"Most fetching" Bachdion agrees

"Oooo you'd look in that alone" A wink from Leonora

OOC These are some big damn baskets!!!

(Baskets of holding, magic inspires in 24 hours)

OOC LOL!

Oh, August earns another kiss for that one.

And a laugh for Leonora. "Well, perhaps not for Mass," she defers to August's sensibilities. "But I wouldn't mind posing that way for a certain small audience," she adds with a wink.

OOC I think we're post-Easter, here? Not that it needs to change your post.

August flushes lightly.

"Well, we're lucky to have visited then" A grin from Bachdion "But if you're interested.... I do have something to show you , picutres of Vince and my sons?"

Leonora mouths 'humor him or he'll burst'

"They're charming photos." August agrees.

Coradel hardly needs coaching. "Oh, let me see!" She eagerly looks at the ones he shows.

As August saw earlier, Coradel now sees as well. Vince and Bachdion's sons have grown, and are eagerly on an egg hunt!

My word, he took a LOT of pictures

August sips his tea.

Leonora chuckles

"You can see how fast he's getting... satyr blood will do that"

The Fiona baroness is entirely smitten with these children! "Look at them! So big! Ha! Yes, look at him go!"

"And the head of hair on .. I mean, Vince's mane is going to be passed on..." Equally boasting for Vince

Leonora leans against August "We really should let the kids come over to the hold sometime"

August accepts being leaned on.

"Oh, yes, let's!" she eagerly agrees with Leonora. "They're sure to love it."

"And we must let them have their first horse rides."

"Oh that would be wonderful" Bachdion says "Horse riding lessons? Coradel, I could kiss you" And he does, a happy quick one "Thank you!"

August smiles quietly.

"Oh, Teacher-Mine, you had only to ask! I'll do my best to see that they get a good start on their equestrian skills." As if it's an obvious element of childhood.

Leonora nods "Maybe one will even grow to match Coradel or Jeanette"

"Oh we'll see" Bachdion says "I don't want to put the bar too high for them. But they are great kids"

"Obviously. They've a wonderful mother and two splendid fathers."

"Now, would you two like to join us for dinner? August makes a mean spaghetti."

"But of course you know that."

"Oh... if it's no trouble?" Bachdion says
