"I can send folks back" Earl finishes

"Whiterun, can you extract yourself from the pool? I think Cynder would enjoy meeting you."

"Cynder? Why, I'd be deligted" Whiterun does extrac himself

Jess steps out and returns with a troll-sized armload of robes and towels.

"thank you, Jessica" Earl says. "I know my casting was... intrusive"

Coradel smiles at the change in the unicorn's manner. And she's grateful for the robe and towels.

Whiterun looks at the Baroness "I may return to make amends to you annd yours, baronness. While you are a woman of passion, your love shines pure" A bow

A pleased expression, and she returns the bow with a courteous nod. "Your return would be welcome, Whiterun. You must meet the rest of my hold."

Meannwhile, rumors of new arrivals are about to kick sttart the kitchens if theyr'e not stopped

"Not intrusive, Earl, you did call first."

Jess is fine with refreshments being arranged for. These are guests, and noble at that.

Once dried off, Coradel asks if she might have a brief tour. "I don't mean to impose upon you, Countess, but perhaps one of your people?"

"I'd be happy to show you around, Baroness. Um. 'Jessica' is fine, by the way."

"And if you wish to call me Coradel, I'd be delighted." The Fiona's smile is stunning.

Blinkblink. "That's... very kind. Yes. Thank you. Um. Coradel. There are changing rooms right there....." and she points out a few amenities.

The Unicorn has gone to see Cynder

And a room to changge has some WONDERFUL Mezomerican themed gowns and the like

"Thank you so much," Coradel says, touching Jessica's arm briefly before making her way to the changing room.

Ohhhh....amenities like that are definitely pleasing!

Jess has to take in a breath, and then makes sure that Earl and the boggan.... Delores? are supplied as well.

Delores has changged into dry clothes "Countess, thank you so much. " She looks about "May I talk to your staff? You know how we boggans love meeting our kith mates?"

Coradel emerges decked out in a very becoming robe.

"Yes, of course you may Miss Delores. And 'Jessica' is fine, thank you. Earl, you ok?"

"I'm fine just a little ah... " A blush "I'm a bit embarrassed . You look well , Jessica."

"Earl, Delores, did either of you manage to keep yuor phones intact? I need to contact August."

"Embarrassed? Oh, right, the phone.... um.... I do have someone who might be able to help, Coradel. A... nocker."

"My phone is intact actually" Earl offers "I got a water proofed one after that time in Parisian aqeuductts"

"Oh, I have somebody at home who might be very offended if I took it to anybody else to sort out beyond simple drying. My...heir, Lord Hume ap Dougal."

"Waterproof? I'll need to look into getting one of those. Please...." she reaches to borrow his phone.

"Well, water resistant" He offers it "And yes, Hume's damn smart at this stuff"

"Oh. Of course."

She finds August's contact information in Earl's list (ignoring any other information she might see there), and texts him:

TXT: August, it's Chloe. I'm using Earl's phone. We found that lost lamb we were looking for, but ended up a little bit south of where we expected to be. All is well, but might be a little while getting back. Give L a 💋 for me...a good one. 😉

That's when the antlered basset chimera is seen , hooked up to a red wagon and pulling two childlings

"There, Hume, I remembered this time, you little...." she mutters.

She's handing Earl his phone back when she sees this...display. "It seems that my friend's chimera has been pressed into service.'

Earl's phone - TXT: She is sleeping; I'll wait. Please be home when she wakes?

The phone buzzes while still in her hand. "Ah!" a smile. She looks at the message and nods. "Of course. Countess....excuse me, Jessica, I will need to return as soon as I can. I may need to return for a tour at a later time."

Itzel and Tex keep racing by"Weee"

Jessica accepts the Childling energy as par for the course. "Um. If you're sure?"

"Earl, please send me back with Thistlesnort, and bring Delores and Whiterun with you when you return." Then she claps her hands abruptly at the rampaging childlings. "You will need to release the hound. He must return to his wounded mistress."

"awwww" the kids do release Thistlesnort who walks up ready go go

"Your pardon, Jessica, but yes, I'm sure." Again that dazzling smile.

"Thank you again for your hospitality." Again that light touch on the arm, and then she turns to Earl. "When you're ready."

"Boys, let the chimera go. Earl, go ahead. I hope all is well at home, Coradel."

Earl nods and gestures to the Baroness and the Chimera "There she is, Mrss Concordia..." And Coradel is gone, along with Thistlesnort.

Techically Itzel is a girl, but she was wearing a low brim hat

A laugh echoes and fades as she is whisked away by the cantrip.

Earl turns around "Not even the strangest day of the week at Earthrunes" he admits

"Or here." Jess points out.
