"Sure. Now?Sir Bachdion's stepped out, I can just save this stuff....." he turns back to the computer and clicks away quickly.

"Lest the Dame of Disney should waste away, were you to leave your work unfinished?" He questions.

"Oh." the handsome mortal frowns "Well, Sir said we had to wait till she was rested. He just wanted a list of apartment complexes. I saved that to his computer here and I sent myself a copy. I guess I could go see if she's feeling better? She was in the Healer's Hut; and Miss Emma was taking care of her." He explains.

"Then, to the lady!" He raises an arm in an ONWARD salute,

"Which one?" Adam seems up for either.

"Let us go meet your Nab, Adam. Otherwise I shall perish of curiosity before I have a chance to properly perish of unfulfilled desire and loverly woe."

They go looking for Nabuni... only to see one dazed looking Rollo with a stupid grin on his normally agressive face.

If they ask, "oh yeah... hot tub room"

"Avast, some fiend has stricken Rollo! We must see to it that he is bothered no more."

"Worry not, O Thane, we shall see that the peril strikes you not again."

"You do I'll punch your lights out" Rollo says but seems to tired to ddo more than threateen

"Tsk, tsk." A lowered voice to Adam, "He clearly is not in his right senses, he knows not what he says..." Leading towards the hot tubbery.

"Uh, Nab can have that effect on people...."

Adam follows, pleasantly surprised there is a hot tube.....

SOaking in a hot tub is a succubus, well, Nabuni, wings spread out, a contented smile on her face.

She sees Adam and her tail pops out of the water like a submarine's periscope "Adam!"

"Hey Nab. This is Vince. Can I join you?"

"Sweet sin, who do I behold? You and me, and the devil makes three?" A sweeping bow. "Lady, thou doth tempest me off the righteous path, if but to know thy name?"

"Vince, this is Nabuni."

"You know you can, Adam. " she smiles then looks at Vince 'Oh you are SO sweet. Nice to meet you Vince I.. wow." As if really surprised "You just see EVERY Woman as beautiful, don't you? "

Adam strips off, at least down to his briefs, and slides in.

He blinks at her, guilelessly. "And are they not? Well, surely not as beautiful as thou. After all, the most beautiful accessory a woman may wear, is my touch upon her skin." Taking the succubus's hand to drop a light kiss there if permitted.

She allows. She wears a scalled bikini, but as Vince kisses her hand , it shifts to a more jungle pattern "I can read what people want... and who they like and..well.. you 're different from a lot of fellows, Vicne" For a moment she looks like a mortal woman, no co ed, alluring, and to Vince, familiar.. for she looks like Queen Bess, albeit it Queen Bess in a bikini

He exhales, blinking rapidly, and rubs at his eyes. "Forgive, my eyes deceive me. It is the steam... A pleasure, Madame Nabuni, Consort of Adam."

"Well, to be fair, I consort pretty freely" She wins and grabs his tail "Adam, he's got a tail!"

A hand flutters at his chest. "Sweet temptress, to grasp my tail you have taken hold of my heart!"

Adam grins.

He relaxes back in the water, near Nab but not possessively. "Nab and me are bonded." He explains.

Vince slides to a comfortable spot just on the lip of the pool. "Mustn't dampen the mane." He explains. "Bonded? Ah, an oath?"

"Sorry," She says making sure her grip on the tail is soft and playful "Oh more like.. ah, I'm his Chimera? And he's my..dreamer? "

" 'Cept I'm not a Dreamer." with a sigh.

"A lovely dream, and willing to share his dream with the world - isn't that every dreamer's hope? A noble calling." Said without mockery. And a shake of his head to Adam. "What now is this? Pish. Pish, and even TOSH! I will pay the swear jar anon. You have hopes, and dreams, and wishes, and longing, desire so sweet it practically rolls off you like honey from the comb. We all dream. and Dream."

" Maybe, but I can't make Glamour. I've tried. I don't even understand -how- to do it."

He reaches out to lightly grasp Adam's shoulder. "Neither can I." He remarks, simply. "But I do dream, oh yes, waking and asleep, and that has nothing to do with my tail, delightful as it is. Buck up, my lad. Sometimes the prize is all the more sweeter the more that you strive,"

"See!"

"Yeah, well, you know I dream of you." He says to Nab.

"Yeah I do"

He grins at her.

That said, she keeps stroking Vince's tail with just enough nails

Adam sighs contentedly, stretching out a bit. "Nab, Sir Bachdion is going to give me a mission; fixing some guys that are causing a problem, evicting people and hurting Fae." He seems excited about it, anticipatory.

"Wait, he's putting you up against Autumn.. Autumn People?" Suddenly the Pooka's tail is dropped and Nab is grabbing him "Adam, I can't help you with that. I'd wink out. You'd be on your own. What if it.. what if it undoes something special in you? "

"It's ok! Nab, I know, it's ok....." he's startled, but tries to soothe her. "How could it hurt me?"

"You have a fae soul inside you..what if.. what if somehow it becomes erased and you lose not just it , but the fae part of your blood too?" SHe fusses

"How would that happen?" he blinks, stroking her back between her wings.

"Like it would happen to folks when they're already dream danced. " She points out "An unchrystalised fae is NOT extra resistant to banalitity"

"But Sir Bachdion wouldn't send me if it .... if it would for-sure destroy, you know. Whatever."

"I mean, tests, sure but there has to be a chance you'll pass, right?"

"Lady Nab, it pains me to see you in distress. Never you fear. Count Vincenzo will see that he remains safe and unharmed, he and all that may slumber within." He expounds with bravado.

"Sir Bachdion is Fiona and doesn't know what fear is and..." She looks at Vince "You'll.. you'll be nearby to take of my little Adam Apple?"

"Uh, hey, woah....?"
