"Invade? He already rules here.. sort of..." Mitra says "I'm going to look into this. Jessica, its up to you if you coax them out but I'll have an easier time snooping on them in here than..." A sigh "Forgive.. have you asked the Maria or Rosa their opinions?"

"I haven't seen them yet, no."

"Well, sometimes boggans have a knack" she admits

"You should always listen to your boggans, the baroness said that, and she was an EIluned too."

"Ariel, he WON'T invade, at least not before the bad storm knocks down the apple tree."

Jess nods. "Mitra, do you want to talk to them directly?"

"Before what?" She looks at Ellie.

"Not for a long time, I don't think."

"Oh.." Ariel nods, "I don't understand, but I believe you"

"Beaumayn, right?" She looks at Jessica

"Um. Yes, ok. Ellie, you... you saw these things? In a vision?"

"No? I just followed them around and listened."

"I'm not supposed to tell visions. It's very hard, sometimes."

Blink.

"Ok."

"The most frustrating ." She sighs "Fine."

"I think we could talk to one of the boggans now under a good cover. you look hungry to me, Jessica. Probably skipped a meal." And she pulls a bell rope

Jessica gives her a Look.... but doesn't argue.

The bellrope, seldom used, can be rang a certain number of times for things such as..summong a meal.

Jessica has never used the bellrope to summon a meal...

perhaps she just perfers to eat in the kitchen, her room here, or apartment where it's a bit more private. Maybe she jusat imagines someone RINGING up Kerri.. and that feels.. WRONG.

But she's almost never ever done that...

and yet...

Maria and rosa BOTH show up "We have a meal ready for you lady, but if you want us to change the order..." Smells good

Ellie WAVES at the pair.

"Oh we get you girls something too... but most for the Flamefree mmm? She skipped breakast I think. This is a nice brunch "

"Gracias!"

"Ladies, this is wonderfull... something with a bit of Citrus and all.." Mitra smells "But if I might inquire..regarding guests... what would you make of our two visiting sidhe knights?"

"Oh now you know we don't gossip..." Maria says

"Hardly Ever" Rosa nods

"But since you seem to WANT to..."

"And it would be rude to ignore such..."

And it flies... "They're intrigued by Our Jessica..."

"But they don't seem to be rude about it"

"Very stand offish"

"But they are tight, like brothers."

"They would die for each ohte, OBVIOUSLY"

"Yes.. I think they went to a war together"

"Or perhaps loved the same woman once"

Jessica picks self-consciously at the food.

Ariel leans over to Jessica "You have to eat the greens too. That's the only way yo ucan grow big and.. oh.. you know..if I were you I'd skip to the good stuff"

The little fawn gets a faint smile from the big Countess.

"But whatever, they share bond like blood"

"And the little girls...they think they are cute.. but who wouldn't huh?"

"Mostly harmless they are thinking..."

Ariel wrinkles her nose at that. Sure, she IS cute and harmless but no need for folsk to go around THINKING it

"mostly they seem surprised... Sir MacTyre, he is ..nostlgic how much you are the loved?"

"yes, nostalgia... it makes them sad too. Gelach does not like the past as much. I think he hurts more even"

"They remind me of someone who has lost a great love"

"But that's just our guessing" They each shrug
