There's that sound again. Do we have a window open?

Oh, I loved all the sites in that scene. And the NPCs.

Certainly the diner (she still needs a swirl shake of her own!) and the antique shop. Don't know about LaFair.

She should visit LaFair, but it sure wasn't the best first impression.

Well, if she needs someone discrete to tend to her needs while August is away, perhaps he'd object less to another woman. Or not. 😉

hahhahahahaha

See, Bird thinks the Baron has some genuine feelings for LaFair

LOL Honestly, while Coradel is certainly flexible enough to swing that way, she hasn't ever told me that she's particularly interested in women.

:0 glad you liked, Shady

Oh, yeah, there's history between the Baron and LaFair.

Yup

SO history. YUP.

Not sure exactly what history, but...yeah.

Well, there are means and ways to learn

Bird was built to like the ladies, but I think most anything goes when she's unseelie

AnyONE.

The fact that he looks at LaFair the same way he looks at Coradel....

And no, August's brain would fall out at the suggestion of bi, poly, name it.

They just better praise Sparrow a lot whoever they are. 😄

Poor August. He's a good boy.

chuckle Well, for August himself, sure....doesn't mean he wouldn't suddenly find a whole new world of information if he were in a position to watch.....

Well, to be fair, his brain fell out at the suggestion of sex, at all, period.

Claire's view on LaFair is a bit different. House Ailil has a faction that focuses on Seduction after all.

See? We just have to have August keep leaving bits of brain here and there, and all the conflicts will be resolved.

Poor, poor August

But she is thinking "Almost sidhe like beauty, return patrons of power and influence, boon confidant-shit. If the House knew they might try to recruit her"

And I think Bird might be hesitating on Jennette because of Sassy...

So Claire sees her as a....formidable foe?

not that she'd confess her feelings TO Sassy...

Ah, right. Yes. Natural talent to rival sidhe ability, but without house ties.

She's sort of gently avoiding any "official" relationship

I think Jennette is an introvert so might not push or even realize for a bit

So much of that yeah-but-that-was-Samhain-she-didn't-really-mean-it thinking for both Sparrow and Jennette, I'm guessing.

So it's either one night stands, or very chaste flirtation. The more she likes someone, the LESS likely, it seems, that she'll sleep with them

Well, Claire is terribly at straight out lies (has a flaw in fact) but she still understands political manuevering. Now, she would claim she doesn't see LaFair as a rival as they move in different interests, but no way is Magnus getting that Penthouse address

Because magnus is an idiot

Ha!

That's my boy.....

*sigh* *zoom*

Oh, it gets worse. If magnus ever does see LaFair, he'll be "What a charming creature. Lovely wings" and Claire will nod and go "just like your sister." just to plant an ick factor 🙂

((HA!!))

Manipulation doesn't limit itself to lies 🙂

Niiiiice.

Ha!

I like Claire, but sometimes in the skull conversations she can be a bit petty. Very Ailil and Ailil don't like losing.

who does?

Magnus would love to investigate all the fall out and still might. But much will have to wait until the Baron does his report

Good point. 🙂

Sparrow might like fighting more than she admits...

Oh, Coradel gets remarkably petty, and it doesn't all stay in my head. wry
