"it's throwing the balance off" She admits "Even when I think I've got it balances, as soon as the ball hits the board it throws it all out of whack"

"Huh. Yeah, I can see that."

"Well, if you ever need someone to shoot at it, let me know. Be happy to help."

"Thanks. An accurate player might be just what i needed for authentic testing"

"Right here!" He gestures to himself in all his glory. "Anytime."

She laughs "Careful... I might also strap you to a jet pack some day if you keep volunteering"

"Cool!" He seems down for that!

"I see what they say when they claim you're Fiona"

"Thanks." he seems genuinely complimented.

"Fearless and eager to try stuff" She nods "Well I definitely will take advantage of that crazy if it helps my craft." A smile "See you around?"

"I hope so." warmly.

"Lovely!" She says and starts to head out

Adam stands (still in his briefs) and watches her go.

“Mmmmmrrph?” A sleepy hand reaches out and cups around her ankle.

“Five more minutes?”

Honora blushes "Viiiiince"

He grins up at her, then winks to Adam as he gives the ankle a pat and lets it go. “Do you see the Lie there? It’s never Just Five minutes.” GRIN.

"You're a shame to the sex if it is." Adam says faux-soberly.

“I have no shame.” He says with a chuckle.

"Good way to be!"

“Honoria, dearest, I am venturing on a death defying quest to restore rodent honor and vanquish the Fall. May I have your favor to take with me? If you don’t have a handkerchief, stop by my quarters later and we can sort things out...”

Honoria blushes again and looks back at Vince "Vince, you're a testament to mileage"

“Wait til you see my highway miles.”

“If only it wasn’t so hard to steer.”

"Frequent flyer....." Adam murmurs.

A soft laugh "Okay I am going... we Dougal are GOOD Girls"

“The very best!” He swears!

But a glance back at the Lion man and Adam, another blush, that REALLY gets deep at the praise, and out she goes

Adam grins largely.

"Man........." with some admiration.

“She winds up my heart. Ah, my one true love.” Admiring as well.

Adam laughs. "Dude, that's, like, the third or fourth woman you've said that about!"

“I do love them all, truly. Love is not like a pie. The more you open your heart, the more love can find its way in. The only limit is time, and stamina. I keep granola and Gatorade in my nightstand.” Grinning.

“And now I want pie.”

Adam seems a bit awed. "Are -you- Fiona?"

“Perhaps Delores will take pity on two starving amigos... me? Who do you think they designed the banner after? I inspired the house!”

"I can believe it." Adam scoops up his clothes. "You put it -perfectly.- I mean, Sir Bachdion, Sir Magnus, and GrandDame Bondraste have kinda said the same thing? You hit the nail on the head." A sigh. "I wish I'd put it to my dad like that."

He pulls his clothes on over the wet.

"Hey, did you say you were hungry?"

Smells come from the hallway, food smells

Adam notices, and sniffs appreciatively.

“I have sworn to fast, ere I see my true loves smile...” a sigh. His belly grumbles.

“And your mentors are all very wise. But can they bake?” Sniffing the air.

"Haven't asked..... seriously, did you swear off food? Food is, like, in the top ten best things about life. Maybe the top five."

Oh my ..some of Vince's FAVORITE smells

And Charity calls out "Vince, would you and your friend like -"

The answer is.. yes, they would like that Lion Chow on a platter

"Hey, Charity!" Adam brightens. "Vince, c'mon......" and he steps forward to see what might be on the menu.

“Charity! My dear, may I but have a smile? Then the lights may fail and the fires go out, but that your smile lights up the stars...”

"I end up looking at the stars when you talk like that.. shhhs.. eat..."

and the three have a lovely meal
