They approach, and one of the trees near the entrance grows a canine snout and barks at them!

Coradel is surprised but hardly alarmed. "Oh, that's clever!" she says with a smile.

"It's a... dogwood" Her knight observes, amusement in his eyes

The door open and a boggan calls out "Simmer down , Fido, we hear you and... oh, pardon" He bows seeing it is noble guests "I'm Pineworthy, sort of the butler here. How may I help you?"

Being very much the visiting noble, Coradel inclines her head politely, but lets her knight make the introductions and request an audience.

"This is Baroness Coradel Truthbranch ap Fiona, of Bannerhouse Truthbranch, and Ruler of the Barony of Earth Runes. We humbly request an audiance of your liege, if she be available?"

He adds "And I am Sir Bachdion ap Fiona"

From further in the hall, there's a voice "Bachy?"

Coradel blinks, and gives Bachdion an amused grin.

"Ah..." He blinks

Pineworthy turns and looks behind him "Dame Chareen? You know this fellow?"

"DO I KNOW him?" A female knight , a young grump/granddame sidhe laughs and comes out to lay a hot kiss on the satyr

"That would be a yes then," Pineworthy sighs

Coradel looks on. "A former student, Teacher-Mine?"

The sidhe parts, and laughs "Oh yes... Bachdion helped me win my Fiona Spurs" A wink, then a bow "Hello, House sister. Yes, I take it you too recieved an education from this rascal?"

"A very thorough education indeed, yes," she says, smiling and returning the bow with a curtsey.
