Gwen wanders through Earth Runes, looking for a group of nevers... who might be confused by the veil which by now has finally worn off...

ANd for Thistle

Of course, there are more chimera than Nevers here. She has picked up a Toad stool... a toad chimera bigg enough to offer a seat, it has a saddle shaped back

Thistle is curled up on a bench, tucked away in an alcove.

There are lots of little hidey-spots here. Fiona hold.

"Hey, Thistle?" A look "Why are you back here? Are you okay?" She's concerned

"Are you done? Is it time to go?"

"Arthur's finishing up in the library, and I got Blossom ready to go, but she's not in a hurry" A look "Looks like you are. What happened?"

"Nothing. Just bored, and ready."

"Yeaaah" She doesn't buy it, and her tone indicates she doesn't buy it, but.. mercifiully, she doesn't press "Sorry you're bored. Come on, we'll go get Blossom"

"Cool "

The two go along, the toad stool follows in case they need to stop and sit down. The nevers chime to find her again, some DID get lost. They head towards the Kennels area and Ayrie area

"Ninnies." Harrumph

"Okay, that's.. that's a new one" A blink

Indeed, one that must be left over from yule, a candy cane one, with red and white stripes, runs over Thistle's hair mesmerized

Brow.

Candy Cane, or Stripey, or whatever name will be called, CHIMES a hello

"Yes. Hello."

And then, they come to the dogs...two greet them right away.

Only... glowing, at least, putting out chimerical light

"He has fluorescent Cavalier King Charles spaniels." Gwen grins

Really, the girl's mental about dogs

"...Huh."

"I know right??" A smile

"Not as cute as the glennies."

The two spaniels seem to realize they've been snubbed and snort in duo

"Dame Gladiola, you return?" Sir Sergei comes down. He's a handsome sidhe, cold and rigid in expression, but oddly appealing

Thistle tugs on her vest and cuffs. Sidhe are intimidating!

"Sir, yes. I came to find Blossom? She said she's wait here" She says

"Ah, she has moved on." Sir Sergei says. "I Know not where. Perhaps to the kitchens?"

The faintest echo of a bird call from somewhere up in the Aerie. A mournful coo.

Gwen fights the urge to roll her eyes "Of course she did. " She says "Thank you for seeing her sir, and me. I know.. you may resent much but I swear you'll not regret,,, " She freezes at the coo for a moment, then continues "You'll not regret putting it aside."

"Tell your Baron that I realize Da'an chose this punishment, not he. I will contribute to his breeding if he wishes, as I told you, for this Fae Mountain Dog alchemy." Sir Sergei says, "But at that price."

"I will.... tell him, Lord" She nods "pardon us, I must seek out my charges in full"

"Of course" Sergei says then eyes the Nevers over THistle's head "Pardon, do you wish those removed? I have a very aggressive kestrel who could harry them for you?"

"What? No, they're friendly."

"Very well..." He says and leaves it be. "Be well"

Gwen says "Thank you, sir" And they withdraw, once away from the kennels she says "Blossom is being a pain in the ass again. "

"What's up?"

"She met Buck here too, and she's huffy. She likes being the only Centaur. Nevermind there's already one here, Daria, and now Buck visiting... well, she maybe a bit sulky that her kith is wider spread than she thought. Might be why she's making us look for her"

Snort. "Diva."

"I know... " They look around for a bit. When she sees a Maid, she says "Pardon me, Miss?"

"I'm the Maid Selena, Lady Knight" The piskie curtseys "How can I serve? Would you like hot cocos?"

Gwen looks over at thistle at that offer

Thistle tilts her head.

"...Piskie?"

"Yes' miss. I'm a Piskie. Quick hands, hard work, or so we pride ourselves." Selena says "Would you like a hot coco ? It's fresh"
