"Forgive mee lord, I mean the magic is hopefully NOT attuned o fae so we won't be affeced if we go i"

"But if it is, and we go....."

"I cannot risk it, and I cannot ask either of you to go where I will not." he says logically.

"But RK's son..." Dylasays

"I am not abandoning Jon." August says "But I cannot spend our people without more understanding."

"So.. how do we learn more from here?"

"I am not sure we can." August looks at the house.

"Well, then what's the point of asking you gguys for help?" Dylan says

"Baron" Temerity says "Please, Lord. the branch must be true, or what's the point?"

August takes a deep breath.

A text from Coradel: Love? Do you need aid? Apparently she got the bannerhouse text blast, too.

"Ah."

He takes a moment to respond.

Situation and location? He knows that clipped-text tone...she's already getting ready to get there.

Apparenlty, she's impatient, too -- his phone actually rings.

"Hello...?"

"Hello, love. Tell me quickly what's happening?"

And when he does.... "Well, if you have Temerity and Ivory there, you are well-supported. I will follow as soon as I can get there."

"I... am concerned for our people here.Yes, please."

"August, love...let heroes be heroic. That's what we're here for, yes? Be bold, my love. I'll be there soon." The sound of a kiss, and she disconnects.

"Me lord, she gave permissio, le heroes be heroic,charge!" Temerity yells

But before she can charge, she goes "Where hast that nocker gone to?"

Coradel, who practically dove into her car, peels into view!

Anybody who has ever been in the passenger seat while she's at the wheel should be in a cold sweat just watching her drift around the corner and all but slam into a parking spot behind August's car.

This is at odds with the easy stride she has while walking to the drivers side of August's car and knocks at the window.

Temerity waves from inside August's car

Coradel waves back.
