"Um, try it."

A grin "Okay, anything else you want to know of me? I have a few hundred, but again many are personal"

"Not just now. You've shared much with me, considering, and I thank you." Jessica stands. "Let's find the others; you can join the tour."

"Sounds fine. I hope Maria doesn't mind going thorugh it again" A smile

"She won't." Surely. Jessica walks with her to find Maria and offers the gentlemen their choice.

Hackett is next, "Thank you again, Maria. " And then follows "Lead on , Countess.."

"Let's walk together." They return together to the Balefire and are seated, with food and drink.

He partakes of the drink, but not the food, and has a sip. Like all sidhe, he's... very nice to look at. There's a power in those eyes that could have anyone deferring, yet an easy going attitude that seems to say 'don't worry, I wouldn't abuse that power'. Trust it or no, but that is the impression.

Jessica clears her throat. "Will you tell me of yourself?"

"Certainly, I am a Scropio by birthdate, but I'd like to think I was a Leo in Arcadia... house reasons. I enjoy tennis, playing and watching. I consider myself easy going, but firmly believe if someone puts ketchup on pasta, the chef has the right to cut them ...badly. I enjoy fine foods, of course, and am nuts about trying cuisines I've hever had before ...but usually find I best go back to Tennis to burn off the calories. I speak Spanish, English, and Elven ala THe Lord of the Rings movies... it was a bet. I lost. So I studied."

Blink.

"Um, where do you hail from?"

"Oh! That... Duchy of Gardens in Willows most recently, but I've done periods of errancy on and off too. I was fostered by a Piskie family, sweet folk, they traveled. I stood out, they blended in... but we made it work"

Another blink. "Really?" Interest.

"Really. One of them had been knighted by House Fiona, and was considered the best qualified. A fine graybeard he was, and he almost made sure I got travel here and there"

"From one Fiona hold to another for major lessons and events I mean"

She nods. "Ok." She fills him in on herself as she did for Thessaly.

Leaving out her family ties ?

(Yes)

"Goodness, you really stepped into Da'an's warm gooey surprise huh?"

A cough "Pardon, I mean destiny leading you here probably took you off guard"

"Um, yes." She agrees.

"So.. free the pooka, stop the balor... then bam, countess"

"Not quite. There was a lot between that and now."

"Yes, I gathered some of that... but Digest version. Does someone always have to watch out for that? I don't want to do something amazing and get promoted. I'd be a terrible baron" he makes a face
