They CAN!

Party animal. 🙂

sauerkraut is essential for new years

Shades, Miriam is gone, right?

beep Shades can't take your message right now, but she'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you. beep

I saw a green circle!

I do think Miriam is gone, which puts Z back in rotation

Because, well, otherwise she has been a remarkably well-behaved teenager for the past week.

No sneaking out.

No overnight Firnost trips.

To be fair, she also expects to not see Miriam for another 6-7 months

So you're saying Z hasn't caused a freehold uprising in weeks and is going thorugh withdrawl?

LOL Mom time is VERY important.

exactly!

Mom time

It took her fifteen years to find her.

There's a lot of lost time.

Yup.

It isn't that she doesn't love her adoptive parents....

Of course not! But...Mom Time.

I'm sure the adoptive parents are very understanding about it all.

They're good about it. Poor Hannah, though.

Mind, ONLY Hannah gets to be "Mama."

Z is still on trial and error with Miriam. "Mom" hasn't quite stuck. "Mother" doesn't seem to work for a nocker.

Hm. My mother was "Mum" to all her kids and "Mimsy" to most of her grandkids.

Would "Ma" work with Miriam?

It seems informal for Z

Miri-mom!

Ha! I like it.

But Miriam -does- turn Z into a puppy

I think she'll eventually relax - she was starting to when Miriam had been around for a few months

Yup, this is what I've heard called NRE: New Relationship Energy. New friend, new lover, new family member...the newness makes stuff mega-intense.

Yup!

And she spent a LONG time romanticizing and dreaming about her.

....Daddy, though. Oof. Total rejection there.

She does not want to deal with him or think about him.

I think I've missed most of the storyline there, though I've seen some of the more recent aftermath.

Daddy is a Balor Sidhe.

It's been nervewracking for poor Earl. Fans his troll artist

Daddy took advantage of Miriam on Samhain.

And she has an inkling that she doesn't want to think about about just how Daddy and Miriam got together.

She is one of a dozen or so "plants" - intended to be a Balor recruit.

Hmm. I had the inclination that coupling was consensual. Maybe not.

The Balor stole, tortured, raped and enslaved Miriam.

That was after the initial encounter?

So, what I understand - Balor infiltrated the Hollow as a spy.

Best case scenario, seduced Miriam and did the deed on Samhain

So - possibly consensual, but Miriam claims no memories of it. And Z has seen evidence of unsavory appetites on Daddy's part.

So part of Z worries that... maybe it wasn't.

Got it. nod
