"Call Dame Claire? Or sould I just send our guest and her puppy?"

"Its a good thing I am not Eiluned, or I should explode" the varich with the puppy says

"I worry about your resources..."

"Could your cousin meet us outside of borders?"

"You want me to turn around and drive to Shirly? Because we have her van" Earl reminds "I don't think she has a way here"

"I mean Clem."

"Sorry.. yes, yes she might... textt her, tell her to meet us at the Stop and Rob, she'll know what you mean?"

Zara nods, and gets out her phone.

When Zara texts, it takes a few minutes for a response

TXT: Things are a bit crazy here, we had an armed stranger land

TXT: ...spider-friend?

txt: tall guy, bit blue, Murry had to slap him around

txt: OH I almost forgot, yes

txt: my fault

txt: meet us at stop & go? E was JUST E when I got to car

txt: woke him w/a/kiss, but he's pale blue

"I rather feel like a hot potato you're eager to drop" the varich arches a brow

"Well... taking you home is difficult, for that could endanger us."

"But dropping you off could endanger you."

"So we need a haven for you."

"I suppose as the rescuee I should just be grateful for aid. I do want to thank you. Would your paramour like glamour?"

"Oh, I risked myself for you."

"you did" She says "so feel no shame if I should aid your paramour to repay" She nods "Would you like me to give him a bit more gglamor?"

"Aye."

She pulls a mint frrom a pocket, and charges it, fading onnly a litle herself, and hands it to Zara "For you to inspect then hand to him"

Zara does kenn it.

Glamour only

"I'll risk it"

"It smells fine." She hands it to him.

"Do you have somewhere safe to go?"

"In truth, I am somewhat between locations... but don'tt worry, I'll get by" Proud

"Without your glasses?" Earl asks as he takes the mint, and resovers just a bit more "thank you"

"Ok, so - that's a no."

"Well, if you insist on holdinng my feet to the fire" A pout "I'm more worried about tthis puppy"

Earl keeps driving, it takes a bit, Iowa isn't that narrow a state "that speaks well of you"

"Mm. There is that Unseelie hold..."

"They have dogs."

"Pardon?"

"Ailil. With dogs."

"Though his lady is Varich."

"Wait, is the Lady Nadeen Dancingsnow?"

"Aye. I know her not well, in truth."

"I do not choose to spend my time with those of your house."

"But... her rule has not been a death sentence to the sluagh of that barony."
