She sees Ellie bending down and petting something saying 'hello"

Slowly, Jessica nods.

Fenix's flames dance

"I have to go, there's a circus!"

She abandons the watering can to SPRINT back to the throne room.

"Right." Whispered.

Dame Ash clears her throat

"Countess Jessica?"

She seems to be away.

Dame Ash turns to the Couple, "New Demands are on the Countess that have arisen, you understand. If you'd like to practice as a group a bit longer... or focus on entertaining the heir, Countess Eleanor."

"Good morning, Dame Ash."

Jessica roams the flowers views like some people might roam halls. It's so odd to have such clear images and sounds. The flames have sent her glimpses in the past... but this is clear as crystal

Dame Ash bows "Countess. "

The atrium, the healing springs, the kitchen with Rosa & Maria hard at work, one peeking outside.....

"Countess Jessica seems to have..something new to focus on right now, " Dame Ash says "Perhaps you'd like to meet, greet, and give your opinion on the jesters?"

"Oh, the flowers are tied to the Bale, and SHE is tied, so they must be having a conversation..."

"Buenos dias, jesters!"

The crowd of jesters has filed in, and they greet and cheer her , bows and more..

the Couple who did the duel make a show of deliberately clumsy bows that actually are graceful, the lady says "Slap at yourservice..." "And I am her prettier half, Dash" the fellow says

She gestures gracefully at the crowd. "You are most welcome, Slap, Dash, and company."

The fire seems to be done showing off, and Jessica hears Slap and Dash announce themselves

She blinks, coming back to the room (having never left it......)

Other jesters introduce themselves. Ash has to translate some Spanish, but does. Where Slap and Dash appear to be Piskies, Tonto (No relation to the Lone Ranger's friend) is a Buffalo pooka whose LARGE size should be intimidating but ..isn't. Bonk is another pooka, but quite small even when not armodillo form.

Quickly she takes stock of what's going on.

Well, it would appear she tuned out during Slap and Dash's display of dueling... and Ash handed over the social aspects to Ellie.

Bonk is jugging turniips

An aside, in wonder at Tonto - "He's like Ferdinand!"

Tonto grins and says in a Mexican accent "Why could the Pony not sing the lullaby?"

"Por que?" She responds.

"Because" he says "Pony was a 'little hoarse'" Making a motion to his throat and a wide grin

Ash whispers to Jessica "Are you okay? "

Giggles!

"What did the Mama Buffalo say when her son went to school?"

Jessica nods to Ash. "Yes. Just a... brief vision of the future. Putting down roots. Nevermind."

Tonto laughs then says "Bison!"

Ash mutters "Dont' remember you at the house meetings"

Jessica gives her a small smile, and turns her attention to the jocularity.

Ellie giggles and nods. "Yes!"

SLap and Dash, the married couple are doing acrobatic displays.. they must be using glamour becaucase somehow she's using him as a baton

Bonk's juggling balls bounce wildly, grow tiny teeth and nip as he runs away from them

So much to watch!

Ellie tries very hard to pay attention to ALL of them at once!

Jessica not only pays attention to the jesters, but to the reactions of Ellie TO the Jesters.

Tonto seems to like Puns and while his accent is thick, he's clearly versed enough to get them in two languages. He's got a gentle giant vibe going on. Slap and Dash have superior acrobatic powers and work as a set. Bonk seems to portray himself as someone who can't control his own acts, which actually takes a lot more control than it shows.

Ellie seems to like all of them, but something about the gentle giant gets most of her attention.

Ash whispers to Jessica "There were two 'scary clown types' that I sent on home. I hope you don't mind"

"I do not." Firmly if softly.

Tonto shows a trick only those with horns can do... twirling rings on his horns which makes his head go back and forth

Ariel comes in and is soon giggling and laughing

"Ohhhh..."
