"Yeah, that's what I meant." she waits for Mitra to go first, and reminds her "Pants."

"Oh right" She calls out "Pants, Fontaine. We're coming in"

"Oh bother" Fontaine can be heard. then "Okay done"

"Thanks... " Jess mutters, feeling just a little flushed for no reason she can pinpoint.

And they enter

"Well met anew" the Caladrius says standing in the spa. Fontaine has given the bird pants, that don't fit well

"Hi." Jess grees him.... and blinks. If Fontaine is not wearing pants, she flushes deeply.

Thank goodness he is wearing pants too

Jess breathes easier. "Hello Cladrius." she tries again "See you've met Fontaine."

"Of this fine water spirit, I hath indeed gained acquaintance. How fare thee, Countess? Thy run was of solace to thee?" it says, and bows also to Mitra "And again I greet thee. Daughter of the Secret House"

"Charmed" The Eiluned curtsies

"Um, yeah. That is, yes. It helped." she looks at Mitra.

"Hast the two of you concluded upon if ye wish me to burst this spell afore it's natural fade?" the Caladrius asks

"What do you think, my liege?" Mitra asks

"Um... yeah. I mean yes. Yea, verily. We'd like .... um, the spell burst."

the Caladrius spreads it's wings and there is a POP sound

and both Jessica and Mitra fall on their butts as they deal with the sudden return to their true and proper ages

The few extra years feel heavier than she remembers, but she's a troll and can bear the weight.

And..she has insight and oddly good memories... she had mom to herself for a bit, and in a way life before this never could grant. That's a gift.

That perspective is.... worth thinking about.

Mitra blushes "Oh dear. I'm going to be a bit of a nag when I get older aren't I?"

She is once more a wilder

"I took it as coming from a place of friendship." Jessica takes stock of herself and looks around.

"Thank you for that" She smooths her voile

Jessica stands and offers Mitra a hand to rise, if she needs it.

She takes it

And upsy daisy

Jessica knows to be careful with her strength and lets Mitra come to her feet while being steady for her; no launching the Eiluned.

"Thank you Friend Caladrius." Jessica says with a respectful bow to the chimera.

"Thou art welcome. Twas easy to do so little effort on mine part" the bird assures

"Easy for such as you to be sure" Mitra says respectfully

"May we honor you for your service in some way?"

"But let me bask in thy waters for a night and I shall rejoice"

"Fontaine?" she checks with him.

"Oh I would like that. Do we have to keep wearing pants?" he inquires

"Not once I'm gone." she glances to check with Mitra.

"The same"

Jessica nods. "Ok. Um, so yes. Please stay and enjoy and if there's anything you need just ask." she nods, and leaves.....pausing outside to assess what needs doing.

They pause outside. Mitra glances over "Wonder how long they wait before they take their pants off?"

"Pretty sure it's already a done deal."

"I guess I should figure out where things stand."

"Well, Constance kept records of course. Meticulous"

"I have got to give her a bonus." Jessica avers. "Ok, I'll go talk to her. Are you ok to get back to the Pitt or would you rather stay here a bit?"

"I should probably go to the pit" Mitra sighs "Been away too long. It's well managed without me"

"Same here. As it should be." She offers Mitra a warriors salute.

It is returned

And they part

Jessica seeks the library, and Constance.

She finds them. Constance looks up "Oh, you're back to your normal age"

"Thankfully." she agrees "I guess things have moved along without me for a bit?"
