CC ponders how, and if to bring up to her Emerson the visit from Kerri.

He has seemed in a good mood recently, at least. Planning a trip to Seattle.

She almost hates to bring it up. yet, he might be hurt if he learned another way

Oh to hell with it "I had a delightful guest the other day. "

"Wonderful." He cuts a bite of his steak (rare of course) to eat. "Whom?"

"Well, Kerri came by to chat about the Thomases. Like me, she's worried about their marriage."

"I think I gave her a few good angles to consider" She says then looks over the maps "oh my, are we going to be near the Space Needle?"

He is staring at her. "Kerri? -Davidson-??"

"Yes, that Kerri," She says "Lovely woman, really. Came of her own accord because of her concern for Kyle and Brenda. Since we both talked to the couple, we compared notes."

"A lovely woman indeed." he agrees. "She was -here-?" He looks around the dining room and towards the living room, as if the giantess might still be hiding there.

"Living room, I was watching Aquila and Fausti..." A smile "Now, I don't you obsessing over it. It was all about the Thomases, nothing more."

"Still....."

He puts the steak in his mouth and chews, reflecting.

"She came -here-? From Apples.... about this Kyle and Brenda?"

Just making sure he has the facts right.

"I don't know if she had other places to be while in KC, but yes."

"My goodness me." Mildly. "These Thomases must be.... interesting."

"I thought I told you about them before?" A sniff, a touch hurt "Are things only interesting when she is involved in them?"

"You mentioned them, Dearest, but the marital woes of a couple and family are only so interesting. Be they new Fae in unusual circumstances or no."

"Of course, you would wish to advise your kithmate."

"mmph" She says not fully mollified but seeing his point however reluctantly

He looks back to her. "Dearest, really?"

An eyebrow.

"Just saying it sounds like I could mention Kerri and suddenly annny story I tell you is better. I don't get jealous over who you sleep with, but I'm a bit worried if I need to start using another woman's name to make my life interesting to you" A soft huff "But maybe I'm being unfair."

His lips twist in amusement. "Are you -jealous-?"

"Don't you enjoy this too much" She warns "but no, not yet, consider this the rattle on the end of my tail though and step accordingly" Hurumph

"I just don't like my moments with you taken for granted as 'same old' and needing spiced by interacting with kerri"

She MIGHT be playing it up, it might be sincere. As a satyress she'll probably have the mood pass quickly.

"Hm." He puts down his flatware and nods, standing. He exits and is away for a little bit. He returns and motions her to stand.

She does

He steps behind her and she feels a couple tugs on .... well, he's always found her tail attractive. He steps back, still behind her. "Hm."

A life time of dancing and striding on stage singing certainly keeps some assets in good form.

"Very nice indeed. No Kerri needed. At all." He says, warmly.

She laughs "it's not the physical interest I get jealous of, silly" But she does seem defused and turns around and pulls him in for a kiss

Behind her as she turns, there's a tinkling, hissing sound; like pebbles and bells shaking?

She pauses midd kiss, and twists to get a look at her rear

He tied a baby rattle to it by the rattle's ribbon.

It's hanging from her tail.

She shimmies, twists, and shakes. it would appear she knows belly dancing

He chuckles, loving it. "Oh yes, Dearest....." Smiling. "There's the rattle at the end of your tail..... wonderful. I shall have to activate it more often."

CC shakes her head, turns and says "Careful dear, you'll need to up your oyster intake if you 'activate me' too often"

He holds her chair out for her to sit if she wishes; although with the rattle there....

She leans over "You need to pull the stinger from my tail"

"Ooooo...." he sounds as though he's been offered cake! And he does release her from it with a tug of the ribbon. He puts it next to her fork.

And she sits onto her chair "Later, after dinner, we are going to talk about safe words for ... protrusions" A promise

He chuckles and seats himself. "So. What did you two vixens discuss?" He takes a sip of excellent merlot and offers to refill her glass.

"Well, like I said, mostly that we were both in agreement perserving the marriage. See, if I had time I think I could bring them around to quite an open relationship ineed, but I confess trolls are tricky. And I told her that's why I suggested her to the Thomases, for the troll viewpoint" She takes a sip "Kerri seemed surprirsed at that"

"Forgive me, Dearest, I don't mean to stick my oar in, but don't the Thomases decide if the marriage is to persevere?"

"THey already decided dear, or at least, they care enough to seek help. That's a good sign" She says
