"I think she likes the rhyme of it... gonna be a hiphop star...make her dad some baaaank."

"I'm not sure music runs in your family" Mitra says

"Aw, bitch, you jus' had t' go say it. Now I gotta invent some kinda instrument jus' for li'l girl to play in your ear allllll dayyyyy lonnnnng."

"You mean in the babysitter's ear, and I am far too busy." Mitra says

"Oh, she find you, donchoo worry. She find you." An ominous tone...then a wink to the little girl.

"Tweak... not to take away from the moment but... everything ok in Apples?"

"Blah!" The girl agrees

Necropsis bounces his 1 year old i nthe air, probably higher than some would be comfortable with. But Shuri seems to love it

Tweak doesn't seem bothered by it. There seems to be an understanding that if he breaks her, he's gotta be the one to pay to fix her.

A more serious look at Jess. "Uh...B...you talk to your peoples lately, right? I mean...you know what happen, right? With yer sis...?"

A tight jaw. "Yes."

Shuri, unware of tension, continues to try to get her dad to throw her higher "Dadadoda'ting!"

Mitra is sipping a drink

"Yeah, a'ight. And that shit sucks. An' yer dad...well...." She stops and clears her throat, shrugs. "Anyways...pulled a device off the engine. Professional shit. Was able to give yer pops a bit more info t' work wit."

Jessica nods. "It goes without saying that if you could focus on that......"

"With a number of refugees moved out to better lives, resources can finally go to other areas" Mitra says

"Pfft. Dunno how much more I c'n get offa it than what I gots."

"Yeah, who pulled th' drain plug to get shit moving, huh? People jus' like, whoosh, outtahere!"

Jessica shrugs. "Anything you can do, Tweak. Thanks."

Mitra says "Interesting question, that, Tweak"

"Yeahhhh...." Tweak frowns at Mitra. "Uh, not that I any kinda, whatsis, humanitarian or shit...but...well, them folks endin' up where they thinks they goin'?"

"Because of the undue liam influence, I decided to follow up to make sure they wern't being abusedl. Some of these escapes are.. down right choice. One lady now works for a Hounduran embassy in DC! WHo the hell has that kind of... pull?"

"Undue?" A polite question.

Tweak rolls her eyes at Mitra. "Yeah, cuz you moon-n-stars peeps always on th' up-n-up. But that other shit? Damnnnn....Okay, B, whatever you done worked out? You worked out wit' th' right peeps, sounds like."

"Hey, you make her barf, you cleanin' it up," she reminds Nec as he continues to toss the baby.

"Mmphm." Non committal.

"Let's say sometimes I think you might as wwell just join the House, Freeholder" mitra says

NEc catches the baby less than a foot over the floor, "You ain't made some vomitomatic to handle that yet? Your moma is a lazy ass...yes she is little girl" last to SHuri

"If you have something to say, Dame Mitra, feel free to speak with me in private."

"Awww, no, B! This I wanna hear!"

Tweak smirks and claims Shuri back. "Yo daddy gonna bust yo' springs, bouncin' you so hard..." She gives the girl a spin that seems equally subject to damaging laws of physics. "Ain't he?"

"Nothing I haven't said before, but if your'e going to put every adjective I use under the microscope ... then it gets revisited naturally" Mitra says to Jessica "Of all the Houses, you favor Liam the most. That appears to be a fact. I think too much so. If I am not allowed my opinions, kindly let me know?"

Jessica folds her arms over her chest. "You are allowed your opinions, Dame."

"Thank you. I am loyal and even obedient, which is, according to many in my House better than Loyal" she smiles JUST a bit "But I owe you my counsel, and you have become public known as favoring LIam due to policy. Respecting that, I mentioned that I followed up on the mortals to make sure they were not mistreated. Should I not follow up on the rest of them?"

"The only mortals that went north were those related to our own Fae. Families or Loves they would not leave behind. Feel free to follow up."

Mitra looks tempted to say something but visibly clamps down.

Shuri calls out "Mama!"haippily as she's swung and tossed about by her mother too

At that, Mitra smiles a bit, then "Excuse me." And heads off to do..whatever.

"Yes, Ma'am!" Tweak is so caught up in her daughter's happiness that she has revealed the one person she'll happily take orders from. Good think Mitra wasn't paying attention.

And Necropsis looks to Jessica, "Damn, Bluetooth. Her narrow sidhe ass not happy with you right now...you firing her?"

"No. Personal is not the same as important." Jessica unfolds her arms. "Tweak, you don't need to let me know; just get info to Rivervale soon as you can. I'm going on patrol."

"Yeah, yeah...hey, munchkin, say bye-bye to Bluetooth."

"By BLutoof!"

Shuri actually ikind of mimics a wave

"Bye Bye, Shuri!" The tot gets a smile out of the now-sour troll. "Good work today!" Jessica waves and heads out.

"Furk" The little girl nods as if to say fucking A

Tweak snickers. "At this rate, she gonna be doin' my negotiatin' for me in a month."

Necropsis chuckles and puts an arm around Tweak "And you end up thanking ME... you didn't want me putting my seed up all in your biz, but I was like girll..nah, this pay off.. and you were like wha what? NOO... and then I made my deposit and now profit! Cha ching... say Crawly waas right"

"I say, 'Crawly remember things kinda diff'rent 'n I 'members 'em."

"Dey say Memmory's the second thing to go" he shakes his head
