Yeah, it was a bit of both...but definitely lioness protecting cubs, even if they're not completely hers.

And yeah, Lira's a coward.

Lira's got karma coming her way.

Way I figure, a feckless Fiona would enjoy having admirers, especially ones that reflect well on them

Oh yeah, every house has its rotters

part of what makes them interesting.

....a Liam disgrace is less "value" than that promising Fiona fledge

Pretty sure Lira moved right on to the next conquest

Yup. As bling, Sparrow was tarnished.

Yup!

Oh. Just realized...Lira is pretty much like Chloe.

OH dear.

And you KNOW she was an adoring puppy - first love!

Chloe?

Oh the old Chloe

Coradel's host.

ahhhhh

Yes!

I had not considered that factor

The not-so-dearly departed.

from what I know of her, yes. Shallow and spoiled and selfish.

I mean, yes, it's a bit of a stock character, so no telling how much they were really alike, but still.

True.

And the Fiona/bad girl thrill of being the first to get her hands on the good little youth-group Baptist...

Oh my gosh, Lira's like that meathead guy who litterally makes marks on his bedpost

ha!

Predator, yup.

Yeah. Unequal levels of feeling in that relationship.

Not easier to get over because of that, though. Wounds are wounds.

Yup. "See, they never loved you at all" does not necessarily make the hurt better

Yup.

Xactly.

"Oh, so I'm an idiot AND I'm hurting. Thanks."

Coradel's got a bit of that streak, too, honestly. She's not above using what she's got to get what she wants, regardless of the consequences to others...sometimes.

chuckle That poor guard-troll.

yup!

His dreams are haunted now 😉

And if Lira never loved her - is the same true of her family? She got kicked out. The Fiona seemed to be fine and accepting, and then, nope....

Kind of makes sense how so many sidhe just took over... in 69, commoners had never seen an appearance above 5. "Hey, tiger. I'm just gonna take over your place and order you around, you okay with that?" "dddarr kay" "Thanks, sweetness." -Fiona Conquest of the Duchy of Laurels , 71

Oof.

Well, August isn't going to kick her out.

And a hoof in the rear from her first post-Fior friend...

ha!

Oh, there's definitely a clear insecurity thing going on with both Sparrow and August. Drives Coradel batty.

... which is honestly pretty much August's reaction to Coradel.

ha, yes.

Morthwyl has commented that Liam could use a shot of Gwydion style pride.

August doesn't FEEL insecure. He's VERY secure in that other Fae/Houses don't 'get' the value of Liam despite the Oathbroken status, and that's his lot in this life.

Bird was doing better before the whole Luke thing blew up
