And not too far from UMKC, either

That might narrow it down a bit.

Maybe Sunset Park?

FIne by me. I'm not too fussy G I think you arep utting a lot more work into it than I am

harrumph, KCMO is being confusing about school districts

looks like there are multiple districts even in the city

I vote Oak Park because I like the mascot

Then Oak Park iti s

I can SO see him wearing that on a t-shirt

I think the RV crew will be jealous

Yes!

Let Colton get an edge up on Sylvi 🙂

Not a goal but certainly a perk

And he's doing good - helping out Dubh, guarding Cora, probably being hauled with Bird on thallain patrol

Oh sure. He's MET Thallian so isn't totally at a loss

Bird is not super keen on violence - she thinks being VISIBLE is a good deterrent

And Colton might pick up on her Liamish bent towards service - patrol is often as not dealing with mortal stuff

Helping old ladies across the street. That willbe weird for him

Yup

She is not a leanhuan

Yup. Looking for dreamers? he's done it. Helping folks who don't seem to have much chance of becoming Dreamers? Why would you?

Not sure if she could explain, either

it's "the right thing to do"

Now, Colton is encouraged to find his own Dreamers to muse. Did he see that there's a comic store? Maybe he can make friends there...

He probably has by now

And his Dreamers are HIS

"You mean, you can muse them and want them to be happy for themselves not just because they give you glamour? I mean, not 'trick them' friend them, actually friend them friend them?"

"....yes?"

"weird."

"Friends are nice, though."

"Yeah, pretty nice"

"Maybe you could make your own comic, or find someone to collaborate?"

"that could be fun."

he's gonna be a liam yet

Vali might joke that once Sparrow's got him really up to snuff, House Beaumayn might try to steal him away for THEIR sports team

Ha!

Now, no pressure from Bird on house - not until he's closer to knighthood, at least

Her plan, mind, is to try and get him ready for spurs by 16. 16 seems a good age.

Seems to be. nod

And he doesn't strike me as demanding knighthood or any such thing impatiently. Heck, he might not realize anyone is considering it

Well, Deryn took him on with that intent - train towards eventual elevation. He might figure that out at some point.

Some off hand "when you're a knight, you'll need to remember..."

"As a knight, you'll be expected to...."

"A knight is sworn to valor"

ohhh, Bird needs to see that movie
