Clem groans "It makes sense now. EIluned are the nosy ones..... so naturally, she's got to imagine a conspiracy."

CLem waves "Nice meeting you, Shuri sweetness" Then she looks to Jessica "Sorry I missed it"

*Gone*

"No, it's ok. She's mine, after all. Ok.... so.... I'll get her out to the apartment... I kinda want someone who can stay with her, too, though.... Um.... Demaris?" She hails a young boggan. "Could you see who you could find? Diego would be good, maybe, or... well, see who you can find?"

"Si, si" and off the boggan goes

Clem nods "Might be best if you used her delusion to coax her there, gentle like. "

"Right, but I want back up and someone to stay with her. We can get people in and out for relief."

"Well, I could offer you Coy" She smiles meaning the thane cousin who works here, "he IS a DeBuke, so use him as bait?"

"Yes, sure, that's good. I think he's probably near the library, unless he's working."

"He's on duty, in fact. "

"Ok, I'll find him. If anyone else shows up for this, have 'em hang on for me." She heads off, collects Coy, and returns as quick as she can.

That's not hard, just change's coy's assignment- but he is curious as he's dragged off "You need me to sidhe sit?"

"Shhh... yes. Look, ok, it's not a secret but we don't need to spread anyone's business all around the fief, right? So... just.... discrete. Ok?"

"Okay, sure...what should I do around her ? I mean?"

"Um." She thinks. "Well... she has to stay away from Glamour, and Sources of Glamour. She needs a little Banality, actually, but I'm hoping the apartment will do. You know, um, nothing more drastic required."

"Okay. I'll do what I can. I guess I hadn't thought about it, but she hasn't been dealing with non fae things for almost a month"

"Thanks, Coy. I really appreciate it. I'll go with you for a while, and I'll make sure other people are there too, get you your breaks and all."

"Appreciated, but I'm not afraid of hard work. " He says //Mitra is in her room ..the string s are EVERYWHERE Now

"Ok, just follow my lead." She murmurs, then taps at the door.

"Yes? Who is it?"

"Mitra, it's me. I, um, I have to talk with you. Can we take a walk?"

"Sure...but...two trolls? " The door opens and she looks guardedly at Coy, then whispers 'How well do we really know this guy?"

"He's a DeBuke." She says softly.

"Yes...but under whose orders ?" She whispers

"Come and see."

Curiosity is an Eiluned's weakness...and if she were thinking clearer the knight might find anothe way to learn but she comes out "Okay, I'm listening..Hello, THane DeBUke"

"Greetings, Dame Mitra" Coy says. "Where to next, Freeholder?" He says deferring to Jessica to Mitra does not think anything here is HIS doing

"Follow me." And she leads the way out to the hot streets of Tijuana and towards her apartment.

And she follows, once she's on the street "Tall people can see further in environments like this can't they? " She asks "Asking for a friend"

Mentally, she ticks over a list of what she has in stock there and what might be needed. "Yes." Absently. "We have an advantage, I guess."

"Good... Jessica, you'd let me know if you -knew- there was a plan for..." A Look at Coy, then a lower whisper "old grudges come back?"

"Mitra, I don't want anything, or anyone, to hurt you. I trust Coy in this. He's a good guy."

"It's not me I'm worried about, Jessica, you get pulled into this you could get hurt, or banished or worse... and yes you could die. I didn't leave the countess to lose a friend and liege." A snort , even in her bedlam she does sidhe loftiness and concern both well

"Thank you Mitra. Let's get to my apartment, ok? We can talk there."

"Safely."

They get into the apartment, and she checks things out , almost as if expecting a troll brigade, then nods "Looks secure"

"Come and sit. Coffee?" It's still a bare-bones place, a couple homey touches but.... Jessica fills the coffee carafe then stops and examines the coffee maker carefully.

They sit down and Mitra says "It's a little... bland" Where are the vibrant colors? WHere are the butterflies that talk? that's... "Yes, coffee is fine."

Assuming Tweak hasn't improved the coffee maker, and that Necropsis hasn't defiled it, she makes coffee. With a small gesture, she puts Coy near the door.

"Well, I'm not here much. I got a cactus." She points it out. "And there's food and stuff. You know, necessities. It's a good place to catch a break."

"Yes, I guess, but what about the troops, shouldn't we be looking in on that? and the ruins...and why troll lodges are more common that pooka lodges or even boggan lodges? "

"The troops are healing up, I've got good people there. And the ruins aren't near here. Culturally, trolls have lodges. Pooka have, um, burrows I think. I'm not sure what boggans have." Calmly, setting out mugs.

"Oh yes. Burrows"

She seems to be less agitated, still on guard, but as if excess energy has leeched out of her

Jessica makes the coffee, pours it, and brings it over, handing a mug off to Coy. "Mitra... I have some concerns."

"Oh? " She takes it and sips

The two talk, and Jessica finds herself taking a bit more time than she meant before leaving a sleeping Mitra with Coy nearby

Jessica makes a note to return, Coy will call when she wakes
