A sigh. “I don’t LIKE thinking of myself as intolerant. But… it’s not like judging someone about their skin color. Different kith ARE different. And Sidhe are what they are… and Liam are what THEY are.

I’m not sure I'll ever get over that distrust. And… I'm not sure I should. It’s a survival mechanism, you see a wolf, you don't wait to see if it's friendly. You assume it's wild, hungry and someone rang a dinner bell. One you're safe up a tree you can get a chance to suss out otherwise…”

"So... is this your tree?" He looks at the wall

"It's a good place for it"

She rubs the back of her neck. “I don't know. This place is… it’s really great though.” That they can agree on.

"Oh furk yeah,.. i mean, I can't keep up with the satyr parties, but it's pretty furking sweet. Sam lets us experiment as long as anyone involved volunteered. I launched Bach in a Soapbubble once... he floated for rhours"

“Oh! That catapult was yours? I laughed my ass off when I first saw it!

"Oh it's from original gear here at the place.. I just repurposed it. " he grins thouh "Didnn't realize folks would use the cauldrons and stuff to drop folks who go off key. "

"Could you tell me about that Knight friend of yours? She from around here?"

"No she was an errant. Sometimes I meet up with her but she travels."

"Sometimes I wonder if she.. ever served unnder Jude. I didnn't want to know.. I was worried if she said yes, it would ruin our friendship" He admits

"Do you think maybe I could.... no, nevermind. That's stupid." She shakes her head, and shoves a bite of hot dog into her face.

"Lots of things are stupid. My furkin last name for example. Go ahead" Munch

"Does she know, you know, your past? Did she save your life, even knowing that?"

Picking at bits of the bun and nibbling at them slowly.

"Yeah" A nod "Surprised me. Said my life was worth as much as the High King's... said that's how it worked"

"Wonder if she'd say the same if it was on the line versus a dreamer..." She says with a touch of sour note, and then shakes her head. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. Who knows? She might go aftter the High King if he ravaged. that, at least would be fair" Snort

"Weird opinion for a sidhe to take, is all. Especially one with rank. Isn't it right in their oaths, like, they have to obey their bosses? Like, the entire CONCEPT of feudalism is that some animals are more equal than others."

"Hey I agree with you, but Terese is... there's a reason she's a friennd"

"Do you think she might be willing to meet me?"
