MacTyre says "it's.. appreciated, your excellency, but hardly needed. No doubt the Lady of the Pitt has great tasks to attend to than play tour guide, as would you"

Mitra's brow rises

Gelach adds, "Though we do hope to visit the pit sometime"

Mitra asks "I'm sure you'd be welcome. I'm surprised news of my Regency has spread so far and wide"

Jess observes.

"Not so far... Beltaine parties are full of talk of who is who" MacTyre says "Even folks aren't there"

Gelach looks over his house sister with curious.. and confused eyes

Mitra sighs "I see." A look to Jessica as if to ask silently what the heck is going on...

Jessica takes a deep breath, and exhale slowly. "Well. If you change your mind and would like a tour, please let me know."

"Thank you, Countess. " MacTyre "Pardon, but if we might go? "

"Of course. You're guests." She nods.

"You're very kindand.. if I may say, the food here is amazing."

Ellie still has the feeling something is... active. About her. Hovering

A small smile. "I will let Maria know."

And bowing again, they with draw into the hallway.

She frowns and fidgets.

Jessica nods to them as they go..... waits.

And Gelach stops looking down at the younger Countess, realization in his eyes, and..amusement? "Might want to wait a few years before you open boxes too casually, excellency" He whispers to Ellie. And the sensation is gone.

Oh, she pouts.

"Ah, nnow it makes sense" The Gwydion says and keeps going

Meanwhile in the main room, Mitra says "Jessica, I have guesses on what you wanted, but just for the tally book?"

Eleanor is torn... but, no, into the chamber she goes.

A frown. "Their arrival .... seemed... very coincidental. And you and I both know sometimes I don't see the subtleties. Thank you for coming, Mitra. I wanted your perspective."

Ariel gulps, then straightens her outfit and follows her friend

"Your excellency, we need to speak."

"My perspective is that name, Gelach sounds damn familiar... I.." She turns to see the childling who has interjected herself smoothly and with authority

She bobs in a curtsy. "Countess Jessica. Dame Mitra."

Jessica turns as well. "Yes, we do, Ellie. Privately, though. Dame, you've met Eleanor?"

"But this is important."

"Ok." Jess nods. "Dame, can you wait for a bit, or come back later to finish our discussion? I'm sorry for all this....."

"Pardon, but maybe she should stay? And help?"

"I don't know if I have.. but by all means, go on young lady"

She puts a finger to her lips.

Jessica looks puzzled, but nods agreement with this plan.

Ariel says "I'll be the look out" And trots on tippy hooves to peek out the hallway

She looks at the Eiluned. "Can you?"

"Can I Help? Yes I would like to think so. How much? Depends." Dame Mitra says "I'm Dame Mitra by the way, ap Eiluned. You know something about those two men?"

"Well, I know for sure that Eiluned are worse than cats so he's probably listening."

"Pardon."

Jessica sighs. "Should we find a conference room?"

"He wouldn't be listening with his EARS."

"With your permission I can ward us from scrying for a short time" The Baroness says "Only by your authority, Jessica"

BIG NODS from the childling.

"Go ahead."

THe Eiluned waltzes.... counter clockwise, then clockwise twice. Glamour flows as a weaver ward is effected of sorts

"If you please, Your Excellency, I think you should send those men away as soon as hospitality allows."

"Call me Jess, please. Why?"

"They're spies, and they're here to spy on you, and they belong to some kind of secret society."

Ariel says "that good looks is just a trick to seduce you I bet"

"They're dangerous."
