"Still asleep?" Reading.

"Yes." The notes indicate that he has a signs of a kith that was thought lost.. or tribe or whatever.. the bridge, the two tribed...

Eleanor runs down - she is looking MUCH better with her hair back (extra long thanks to some extra spring!)

She skids to a stop and bobs into a curtsy. "Good Morning, Your Excellency."

Mitra raises a brow at the new sidhe childling.

Jessica glances up, nods back. "Excellency. Dame Mitra, have you met Countess Eleanor?"

Then the EIluned warriroress bows

"I have not, A pleasure , your excellency"

"Dame Mitra has served Renaissance from the beginning. She is a trusted friend of mine."

"So she fought the Balor, too?"

Jessica nods to Mitra for her to answer.

"I have faced Balor." She says "And was present at the sentencing of Rathsbane the tyrant"

"Pleased to meet you, Dame Mitra. I am Countess Eleanor Hyacinth de Violette."

"Of what house, if I might inquire? I myself am Eiluned"

A little fidget. "Beaumayn."

"Do not worry, your excellency. While my house is cautious around yours, and I am sure vice versa, I call no Beaumayn enemy" Mitra says smoothly

"Beaumayn? They're the ones who came to the rescue when... " Ariel starts to blurt but then shushes.

Jessica looks over at Ariel. "Rescue?"

JEssica finds herself suddenly thumped into by a fae hound puppy happy to see her again

"Beaumayn are warriors. We must be very brave." She parrots.

"Yes... there was a raid by thallian and dark kin on the farm.. Sir Vali and two Beaumayn Sidhe came to our aid" Ariel says

"It was confusing..because.. you know.. farm" Sheepish

"Oof. Hey Azul." She rumples the pup's ears, and nods. "I see. That makes sense."

Mitra makes a note of this.

"Thallian have to be defeated." Somber.

Especially out of the mouth of a child who is clutching a Rapunzel doll...

Ariel looks at her friend "Are you okay?"

Nod-nod. "You are staying? We could play ALL the time!"

"I am sure there will be some lessons," Dame Mitra says "For both of you"

Ariel says "yes all the ..." Then hears about lessons "awwww"

"I've been sained! For a whole month!"

"Always something new to learn. Countess, I'd like to take you on a tour of Renaissance but right now I have someone I have to see."

Mitra looks at Jessica "I have my own hands full with the Pitt so I leave such teaching to you and Dame Ash. Shall we?"

Jessica nods. To the Balefire!

"Grown-ups always like lessons"

Azul walks with Jessica. That's her person

"They SO do," Ariel agrees

"Let's see where they're going..." A tug on the satyr's hand, and she starts after the pair of wilders.

Ariel says "Okay... " then a whispered hush of excitment despite having said it before "I get to stay" And following

The balefire surges to great Jessica

"Is it just me, or is she more lively right now?" Mitra says

"She's been feeling frisky." Jessica admits, going to the hearth and sitting there. "Hi." She reaches into the 'Flames.

The flames twirl around her wrist like a friendship bracelet of lively emeralds

Ariel whispers "The farmhold's fire is bigger, but this one seems nice and friendly"

"I came to talk to your sleeping friend, here." She murmurs.

he rests still... but his soul seems better.

Jessica takes the opportunity to inspect him.

Ellie watches the fire. "Sure it is, because the Countess is here. It likes her."

The wounds gone, she can see how handsome he is. He's... exotic. And that's odd. She's met Nunnehi and other Eshu from other cultures and not got such an obvious 'exotic' vibe.

Mitra says "I had the same feeling.. the sense that he's...different enough to pique curiosity, and same enough to trust.. maybe. "
