"Well," Ash says "THAT was... interesting" The Pennons situation was cut a bit short because of the happy dream dance of Shuri, and everyone of Fenix heads back to the hold to help wash Honey off

Jessica scraped as much as she could off, but is still fairly sticky.

"I suppose we should have been prepared. For her Dream Dance, not the honey."

"How? She's been in a hold for awhile, there was a good chance the girl was purely kinian"

"Mm. It's hard to predict, I know. But her existance is pretty miraculous to begin with."

"Something un uusual about her birth? Besides odd parents, I mean?" Ash is curious

Fontaine (WIth pants) peeks out "I've set the spa to extra hot to help melt the honey off when folks are ready"

"Um. Can we keep the crowd small at first? No, nevermind. I can shower in my room; Fontaine, can you help everyone who wants it?"

"Oh we can keep it small if you wish" He assures. "I was going to wait outside. I know how odd folks are"

"But mostly I was thinking the glamour from the honey could feed the spa, or if you want it burned off, the balefire " he explains

Salma FUSSES as she passes with Holger. The brave young troll is coated with honey, but Salma's book was SAVED.

"Estupido Troll! You are such a mess!" She scolds fondly.

"Si, I am quite sticky," A smile though just a bit as he notes his good work in saving the book

"Do bees like honey?" Ellie wonders at Ariel. "We could invite Shuri to a tea party...."

"She's very young for it..." Ariel says looking at her legs "It is ALL in my leg fur. Ugh"

"She's a little young, but she's a childling now, too..."

"Your'e right, your'e Right," Ariel says

"And maybe she likes dolls?"

"Surely she knows how to read?" Salma says, suddenly aghast at the idea that she might not...

"If she does not, you will help teach her" Holger says surely

"I'll, um, go see if the Balefire wants it. And/or shower. Everyone, feel free to get cleaned up."

And she goes to her 'Fire.

Jessica move to the fire and it greets her! A new soul, lovely! Wait, what's this? THe flames curl around her... and Jessica feels like she's holding out a moist delicious cake to tempt a friend

"Um. Please, have it all......" She tries to figure out how to feed honey to the 'Fire without embarassing herself. Further.

It moves forward, the flames wrapping about her .. now she knows how the stick inside a lollipop feels, abruptly cleaned by a warmth

The flames take in the residual glamour and then... at the outter ring of it, create dross. ! Little candies , bee shaped

Jess chuckles. "Can I send these to Skyhook? A welcome present?"

The flames are fine wherever they go, dross is of use to all

"You have enough?"

a feeling of curiosity, as if to say 'there's more?'

"In the spa, most of us were covered in it.... I can call others in."

the flame seems to go quiet... as if meditating, then it flares happily. It would appear it shares with the spa

No, it's fine, the waters can use it too

A smile. "Thank you. We are stronger when we share our strength. The troll says.

The flames seem to agree quiet heartedly

Ash can't help but say "Sometimes I think that's the only time I see you smile"

"Hm?" Jess looks over.

"When you're with the flame I eman" She says "or the childlings at times"

"I enjoy spending time with them."

"Good. Because I'm sure when Salma finds out about the books we broguht at that vendor, she'll plotz"

A sigh. "Which reminds me; I have to invite Tidemarch's library here to have a look. I need to tell Constance."

"You got some books?"

"Children's books" A nod "Though for older kids some of them"

"Can we reimburse you?"

"Oh no worries. " She waves it off

"If you are sure....."

"I'm sure. If I really feel short changed I'll snag one of Diego's winebottles"

A small wince. "Come to me instead, please. I'll make it right."

"I was ...78% joking" She assures

"My offer stands."
