The other fellow speaks however, "I am not the greatest musician or the best voice but I do play, and I know a great deal of lore. I am far traveled, as is my friend. Perhaps there's a part of the world we've been to you haven't and you wish to know"

Ash makes a bid

And the fellow is sold, for a bit more, but not to Ash and not to Jessica unless she ups the last bid

She does not.

And the two are separated. Ash moves over "So far all I've learned is they are knights errant who are good friends or at least partners. I Think, and this blows my mind, the blonde is Gwydion.. .and the bearded fellow is Eiluned"

"Stranger things have happened."

"Yes, but they're not often friends, even if both are Seelie" SHe frowns "mm "

And then it's Duff's turn.

Jessica watches to see who starts bidding, and at what price point.

"Twenty..." SYmond says

And bidding starts.. looks like it might hit a hundred maybe

Jessica waits, watching.

Duff removes his jacket, and turns showing himself as the illustrated troll. Every tattoo a story.

Bidding goes up.

Yeah,m it'll hit a hundred.

Jessica anticipates it. "A hundred and fifty pesos."

Cheers ...and Duff smiles.

Soon, he is hers.. and rejoins her, "Well, now's yhour chance to have me paint your apartment .. or mow a lawn."

"Maybe henna, later." softly.

"I would love that" He takes her hands...

and Beltaine unfolds wonderfully. Fine foods, dancing by the fires, and star gazing

(End Scene)

The Day after Beltaine, Ariel gets up, and bends the rules.. turning on Disney plus outside the 3 hours.

Salma curls up with one of her favorite storybooks and pretends to not be watching, but she hasn't turned the page in an awful long time.

The bed room the three girls share is like a princess suite, but there's only one TV

Ariel looks over at Ellie to see if she's asleep still, then goes back to watching Brave. "She does shoot arrows really well" She whispers

Ellie isn't up yet. She talks in her sleep, though what she's saying is usually too mumbled to make out.

The satyress draws her legs under her and sings "I will ride.. I will ride... " And she TRIES to sing softly. Least Miss Ash show up and catch them gaming the system

But it's more fun when the three of them can sing loudly and together.

"No, don't go..." Eleanor sits up like a shot, blinking and confused.

Ariel turns "We're not going anywhere... " She assures her friend. "We're just watching Brave. Well, I was. I think Salma is reading"

"Oh, yes." Quickly flipping the pages noisily.

"...oh..."

She looks around, making sure everything in the room is right.

Her friends and ..charges, well she is the noble here, are fine. They are there.

Salma slips down from her bed and heads over to Ellie's side. "Do you need anything? Glass of agua? Your chanclas?" Offering her slippers.

She shakes her head. "Gracias." A brief hunt of the blankets before she turns up the Rapunzel doll.

"We saw a Merman" A sigh from Ariel. She holds up her own name sake doll despite watching Meridia

"The beach was nice." Ellie agrees, hugging the doll tight.

"Yes," Ariel says with happy sigh "We get to go back sometime."

"And the ice cream. The nice Yama man, he understood the flavors right." Indeed, Salma had seconds and maybe thirds of the sweet treat.

"Yama?"

"It was good ice cream, for sure."

"Salma likes ice cream a lot I think, not that I didn't. It was yummy..err Yama..." She says

"I loved the bubble game... did you see how BIG the bubbles were? the faster I ran the bigger it got" Oh Ariel is lost in happy thoughts

"Yeah, it was a fun day."

"Yama, Like, with two LLL's. " She grins. "And like Emperor Kuzco, si?"

"Llama!"

"WHy DO they even have that lever?" Ariel asks

"It's a silly movie."
