"Adam, he's..ah heck. " A sigh "Adam is a kinain who wants to be kithain so bad he can taste it, and by weird chances, he's come close two or three times and now he's almost a.. well, a dreaming miracle but still not able to get it. Piper and him broke up, and I'm not sure all the details but it tore him up. Now I love piper, she's been through a lot of shit and as youv'e seen has a heart as big as a parthenon. And I like Adam, he's a bit black and white sometimes, but he's got a passion and life and courage even before he became Fiona but on hold... "

"Desiring to be what you are not only leads to suffering..."

"Fiona on hold?"

"A man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for? " Wistful then "Yeah. He's got a sidhe soul on him that's still HIM... but he won't dream dance. In the middle of a hold NADA"

"I don't disagree - but one must fundamentally accept the self, in order to grow,"

"Well, see? No acceptance of self."

"I'm not sure how to have him be that open, particularly when his heart is on the floor currently" He admits

"Because of romance, aye."

"Yeah I..." He straightens "oh man I wonder if that's part of it. Romance and Fiona!"

"Perhaps?"

"Look, he got a wish to make him a sidhe of a Seelie House, it came up Fiona. It makes sense. Fiona have complications with love"

"They do..."

"Man, I don't know how Piper would feel if she found out her choice might be influenced by HIS House"

"Now, I have seen Emmitt transform a thallian into a kithain... but he shan't work with a sidhe soul."

"Feh. No. She has free will."

"Oh I'm not telling Mountain Emmit 'hey want to bring a sidhe into the world'" Shake of his head "And..yeah, free will"

"Aye. Now.... I am a soothsayer, nu? I could take a look at him."

A text to Zane. carving done. Anything else before I head back?

Zane reads the text "Scuse me" And txts back :_I think that's it, bit of glamour from the childlings ready into something can give her. _

"And you are but.. ah, Zara he doesn't know i shared this with you. Not sure how he'll take it"

"Well - I am findable, if needed. Once Earl is recovered we shall be back at Earth Runes."

"Thank you, Zara. I appreciate it." He nods "And if I can do you a solid too let me know"

And he taps TXT: He was just needing some alone time last I talked to him

"But of course."

Zane mutters "he was also miserable and wrapped up like a cacoon of depression but I'm not telling her that. She doesn't need a guilt trip"

"Well... sometimes a good sad can be cleansing? Mayhaps he should try loud music or writing poetry..."

"Adam writing poetry? Wow, the brain boggles"

She shrugs.

"Piper is on her way, she's got the box..." He rises "I guess we best get ready. "

"And, of course, let Siv into this plan..."

"Yeah, and as hte only non female.. I better make the pitch" He moves the chair from the door "I'll let you know it goes. "

"Thank you, Zane."

"Rock and Roll, I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor and a follower of the creed of the Wyld Stallion" And he heads out

****

The arguement/discussion between Zane and Siv is unknown to all but them... (And possibly those nosing against the door)

but it seems he wins her over

or more accurately, gets to live. And he comes out to see if Zara and Piper are here and ready

Piper is looking for Jonas to see how his gathering went.

Jonas is not too hard to find. His face is dour and grim

But he has a bag with glamour with in it "Piper, salutations is everything underway?"

Zara nods to Jonas.

He has at least one token of dross from Ellie and the girls - they sought HIM, and the little countess insisted, even before he could ask.

He thanked them, of course, and while the little countess does not know it, Jonas' distaste for sidhe has been yet further erased by her action.

Piper's distaste for adult sidhe is still intact, but she is warming up to the younger ones, at least this one.

"I got the carved box... Zane, I couldn't get to Tove. I ran into the Chieftain and she insisted. I didn't give her the full story - she may have guessed though." She looks guilty. "I hope her work doesn't affect the working negatively, but... if nothing else, it has maybe some of those good mama bear vibes? Help hold in the bad sauce."

Turning the box to show him both sides of the carvings.

"Blood kin?" Zara seems to approve.

"Oh wow.." He looks over it "I..." A whistle "Well, it will provide more power I think but the fall out is gonna be fun. I have to tell Siv no one told her mom and ignore the Narwhal here"

And Piper relaxes a touch, concerned that she has bungled it all.
