Jessica is still a little giddy from the glamour (for there must be some) from Shuri's first words. She's also checked in with family and is up to speed and feeling good about the situation there! And another set of Fae refugees and others have been sent on the way!! Yep! Things are finally easing up for a time.

Yes, all is looking good. So ..why are so many of the staff , boggans sidhe, and more... requesting the same days off?

She goes to ask Diego.

"Before I answser why, Can I have the day off?"

"THAT day to be specific?"

"Diego, the Hold will be empty at this rate! What's going on?"

"A good third of your holding is still pooka... and THEIR Holiday is coming soon."

And she knows what he's talking about.. PRANKSGIVING

"Oh God." Quietly horrified. "You're right."

"SO... if an emergency breaks out, let me give you the location I'll stay at, but untiil then.. I have that off yes?"

She takes a deep breath. Although she is not Sidhe, of course, she ..... very much Dislikes Carnivale and Pranksgiving; she never really got the hang of them. She feels similarly about Samhain, but is a good soldier.

She takes a resigned breath. "Tell you what, Diego. I'll get you all the folks that want that day off, and who I already said yes to, and you tell me. You're the Stewart."

"This is now the stewarts job? Oh you are cruel" A sigh "Okay Okay... worse comes to worse, we can have a dance off"

"I'm just saying, if I let all your staff go, how would you feel?"

"Terrified, but I am not a brave troll"

"Yes, but if -you- decide, you keep the staff you know we need, and I get to blame you if it goes wrong."

"Your leadership skills are improving" He says sourly

"Thank you." Soberly.

"Fine. I'll see who I can convince to brave it out" He walks off muttering in spanish

"You're a good man, Diego!"

More spanish!

and he's gone.

Phobos walks up "Who do I see to..."

And he is redirected to follow that satyr
