"mm" She looks around "Ahha" She gets a blue tonka truck "This his?"

"Probably."

She hands it over to the dog, "Sniff it, learn it. We want the boy smell. Got it?"

Sniff sniff sniff, wag, "Wuff!"

"Thank you, Dame." tensely.

"You're welcome, Countess. I... I am sorry, I edidn't anticipate the boy would go off questing. I should have."

"None of us did, and we would have more reason to; we know him better."

"It's easy to miss a beat. I best get started with Ivan"

"Please do." Jess says without rancor.

She starts to bow... stops herself, and just nods. Then goes towards the trods with her dog sniffing the silver

Jess fidgets, shifts... and stays.

"It'll be okay, boss" Phobos says "Holger's a tough kid. Sides, he's still a changeling. "

"He's a childling." she mutters.

"Childlings have quests, they have adventures. We redcaps know that they gotta get burned to learn to respect fire"

She looks at Phobos, and blinks. "Right. 'Scuse me." and she goes out to make another phone call.

Redcaps are.. kind of rough

and she makes her call

"Vali?"

"Jessica, hey. Olgar's on the look for Holger"

"Good. Listen,... Do you know any kind of stuff that could help figure out if Holger is on a quest?"

"I'm not the best with Soothsay but I know a little. " he offers

"It's more than I know. Anything else that could help?"

"Mmm Will o Wisp could guide folks to him with time. Eshu might stumble on him too"

"How many can we let loose?"

"Wisps ? One per caster and the caster will have to follow the whole way" he answers "Eshu? Good luck herding them, but I can give Caspian DeBuke a call? He's an Eshu"

"Please, do it all. I'll provide money or dross or whatever."

"Jesssica, Holger is part of your family, or close enough. YOU are family so he is like OUR family. We don't charge family, Jessica. As mountain I will cover the dross use. Money we can swing"

"Just let me know."

"I'll get it all underway. Don't worry, Jessica. Together, we'll find him"

"Thanks."

"If you had something of his, could you ... look back?"

"I... know someone who can."

"Ok."

"You also can have Mitra try it. "

"I can? I will."
