"They're both Liam." she confirms "And yes. My father is Liam also, although he's not here."

"I only heard the basics, who's your father if I may ask?"

"Sir Franklyn King of Rivervale."

"Well I'll be, I met him" She seems thoughtful "I doubt he'd remember me but we met once when I was a childling. Just briefly. I wasn't part of the Bannerhouse back then."

"Really?" Jessica considers "Probably before..... hm."

"I was a childling.. mostly I remember thinking his hand could probably fit around my waist and I wondered if he had anything hidden in his beard."

"His mouth, mostly." Jessica says matter-of-factly.

The Liam lady smiles at that

"Let me see if Sir Jack and Father V are available. Can you wait a moment?" she stands.

"Of course" She also stands "I apologize for any hassle this maybe causing to you or them"

"Right of Rescue, right? It's not a hassle, it's what we -do-." she steps away to send a message asking both gentlemen to come to Fenix and meet with Dame Garia.

Sir Jack shows up first

Father V has the message but will be in confessions unttil later

Which is fine with Jessica. "Sir Jack.... this is Dame Garia." she introduces them.

"Bannerhouse Tinean? A pleasure to meet you" He offers his hand

"We hopefully aren't seen as fallen too far from the Oak " She smiles and clasps his hand. she quickly explains why she is here, annd who she is looking for.

Jack looks at the picture , " I haven't seen him, but if the Countess has no other task for me currently I'll be happy to help you look" He glances at Jessica

She nods. "I've offered resources, supplies, people.... it's a matter of the Escheat. I've asked Father V to join us, and help if he can. It's not strictly a Liam matter, though; do what you need to do."

"If we need back up, I'll let you know, Counntess" Jack assures, hen looks to his peer "Dame Garia, if you'll follow me, I'll take you to Fatther V's Cathedrel.. while we wait on him we can see if anyone has seen the forgotten around at mass or nearby"

Garia seems surprised, pleasntly so "Well, this is as prompt a hand as I could have hoped for. Thank you both"

"Welcome."

"By your leave, " Dame Garia asks Jessica. She's fighting the urge to bow but remembers Jessica prefers it casual

"Of course."

And Jessica moves on as well, to the next item on her agenda.

It's not a Liam she has to face next but rather, Ash, the Beaumayn grump greets her warmly, a cup of coffee in her own hand "Bad time?"

"Not at all. I hear the kids are at the beach?"

"They are. Tonto and Neema are there with them"

She nods; that should be protection enough.

"I was going to ask for some vacation time afte pennons. Just a week"

"Of course."

"Thank you" She says

"Welcome. You have to make time for yourself."

"I suppose. Feels a bit selfish at times. But Mr. Viggo is a godsed"

She nods. "Ellie seems to be learning well from him."

"I'll say, I've tried learning a bit of braille myself... Ellie is way ahead of me and I've had her show me"

She smiles. "That's great."

"It's great, AND embarrassing. Kids pick that stuff up so quick. I feel like a tortoise waving at a jack rabbit"

Jess chuckles. "It takes time, and practice. I was able to pick up Spanish." she points out "And you're not doing to badly at that yourself."

"Gracious" A smile back "Yes, you went full immersion mode, but you're on tthe younger side yourself to these 'grump' eyes"

"Some days it feel less so, but thank you."

"Mm" A curious look "You don't seem ready for a togail yet to me"

"I'm not." she confirms.

"Alright. So, plans for a patrol later? I can join you if you wish"

"Actually, yes. Let me just check and see if there's anything left to do here?"

"Fine by me"

Jessica checks in with Diego and others to see if there's anything she needs to manage.

Diego informs her "The Nunnnehi have gifted us with some supplies... no wine, but a particularly strong coffee blend with a berry after taste"

"Oh?" that perks her curiosity "I'd like to try some, when possible. And we should probably think about a gift or two in exchange."

"I think its their way of apologizing for the mainnlanders so angry"

A sigh. "It's -not- their fault... let's think about an exchange anyway."
