"I can't believe mamacita had to get the tabby agaiiin" Ariel says

"Tabby is a very naughty kitten."

"No wonder she's your favorite "Ariel teases

Book abandoned, as Ellie watches the four kittens suckle and snooze. Mamacita is grooming them.

"Oh, she is..."

Mamacita is quite forgiving of her most errant daughter.

At least, the kitten still gets fed, and cleaned

"Not like this grey. He's just a tubba-lump, all milk dreams." She reaches in to lightly stroke the chunky kitten.

"I think her sister sucked out alll the go go out of him" A laugh

The gray gives kitten purs

"He's sweet."

Giggle. "And his belly is so round!"

"I think this is it.... " a voice outside the door "....Pardona me, por favor, es el bibliotecha?" Wow that is bad Spanish.....

Piper giggles, nevermind that she only knows a smattering of 'bodega Spanish', enough to order veggies at a taqueria. "Is that how I sound in French?"

Ariel looks up "Hey, another satyress... " the redheaded freickled childling satyr girl is NOT mexican, but says "Hola"

"Oh, Zane's friend!"

The Pooka girl peers up. "El bandito! You climbed the wall and set a bad example for la tabbycita, now she climbs out of her box." Shaking a small finger towards Adam.

"Nah, your French is se.....sensational." Adam course corrects as all the little girls are there. "Hello, Ladies." He bows, more formally than his last visit.

Piper casts an amused glance over at Adam, a brow raised. "Hola to you too. I'm Piper of Rivervale, and I'm afraid that... bandit? Is with me. He's my escort, so I hope you won't arrest him." Looking over the three, and noting the small sidhe lady-to-be. And a curtsy, because she's sure it's never wrong to be TOO polite, even to a child.

"Hola! I am Countess Eleanor, and this is Ariel and this is Salma. Constance is working, so you mustn't be too loud."

A troll woman works on writing papers, but she does turn "mm? Another troubadour? Do I need to put her on the lists?"

"Countess!" And she dips her curtsy a little lower. A whisper to Adam. "Is that above Baroness? I can never remember!"

"Oh! Are you here for the music? Wonderful!"

Ariel says "It's PIper of Rivervale, Miss Constance"

"Countess." Adam gives her a deeper.... and fairly correct.... bow.

"Above." He mutters back.

A grin as she pats the instrument case on her back. "Indeed I am. And I've been told - that is, I am representing Rivervale." And a smile to thank the small Satyr.

Salma "hmmmphs" and settles back to her book, though she makes a motion- points to her eyes, and to Adam and back to her eyes. Watching!

"Where Jessica comes from? Oooo..."

"Piper of Rivervale. I admit, I expected Tove or Torin," She says "But so be it." She writes it down "And your escort?"

Ariel beams "Satyrs are taking over the lodges"

"Adam Thomas, Crash of the Storm, Lindnorm-bane - one of the protectors of Rivervale." She says, with fondness.

"Do you know Princess songs?"

"Adam Thomas? AH, yes." Constance writes down "But only Piper will be competing at the troubadour trails I take it. Out of the two of you."

"Princess songs?" A grin. "Why, are those a favorite around here?"

"Would I be allowed accompaniment, or is that against the rules?"

"Maybe!" She beams.

"You would be allowed for one of the three songs you choose, but only one. to show you could peform with other visiting performers"

Adam waits his turn to speak to Constance.

Constance seems to have the rules, "Here, a copy of the itinerary"

And she hands it over

"Good to know..." accepting this to lok over. "Oh, Adam was wondering about looking at the library. If you had a moment..." And she leaves them to discuss.

Ariel says "YUP. Disney songs are big here... "

Constance looks up

"I'd like a copy of the itinerary too, if I may? And yeah, uh, yes. Could I look around? Or point me in the direction of books about Court?"

"We're allowed two hours of Disney plus, too, so we can watch princesses before bed."

"Gerd brought us other movies, too..."

"I'll guide you, Adam. " Constance says "We have writings from Almond to Wayburton..." She says. Is that humor?

"That was nice of her. Gerd's a pretty good friend, isn't she?" And she takes a cross-legged seat. "Well, I -do- need to warm up my voice, so if you want to hear any Disney songs, that doesn't count as your screen time, does it?"

"I've heard of them!" Excited by this, he follows Constance. "Wait!" He dashes back and kisses Piper quickly, then off with the troll!

"Oh, no! I am allowed that. A lady requires music lessons..."
