"Hey."

"I have notes on Syntax, but I think it's more the verbs wer'e going to focus on so I did that too... " Ramona handed some notes over to Zane, "You realize he has a webpage for this stuff right?"

"He does?" Zane says then smiles, "Guess maybe I just like finding excuses to meet pretty girls."

Ramona blushes

"Told ya she was, Zane." Adam piles on.

"Come on guys, I know you both hang out with the cool girls at school," She smiles still though "But thanks."

Zane nods "Hey, you're cool too. Can I maybe repay you for the french help later some time? "

"Oh no, no need I..." she stammers a bit then whispers "My dad will be furious."

"For you?" Zane says making very big eyes, and he touches her hand, "I'll risk it."

Ramona gets a goofy look on her face, and glamour sparks about for a moment, then she whispers back "Okay.. my number is..." And gives him the number, then says "Gotta go. See you both." And closes the door

Zane looks a bit smug

Adam is already putting the number in his phone. "Nice one, man." He murmurs as they turn from the door and head away. "So what do you think?"

"I think if I'm really lucky she's an AUtum sidhe and wil lgain a lot of hawtness"

"What's that mean?"

He moves further way not to spill the beans "Like 90 percent of sidhe go for a body jack thing right? Have to I guess...they're in Arcadia, but a few sidhe stuck around and went the changeling way like the rest of us. We call them Autumn Sidhe"

"Ok. What does -that- mean?"

"Which part? I thought we mentioned the changing way before? Fae and mortal souls fused ...not wholy fae anymore a blend? But sidhe just kick the mortal soul out...well, Arcadians do... and it's more of a fae soul in a human suit?"

"Yeah but the Autumn ones don't?"

"Right.. mostly Liam and Scathach if I recall my dad's book, though dad really has zero respect for Scathach. Odd that."

"it's hard to explain but they're fused to a human soul."

"Just like my satyr side is." he trots along

"Ok. And you think she's Sidhe and not something else? Why?"

"No no, man... I said if I'm LUCKY... like in lotto winning lucky. I mean, she could be cute, but she's not hot. If she becomes a sidhe? she'd be superhot."

"She's probably one of the main 8 commoner kiths."

"So what do we do?"

"Well, we tell the chief or some other troll at the lodge... they figure out how they want to pop her..best if we can pick the time and place right? Then... boom...big rush of glamour. Honestly, between the dragon death and Samhain I'm surprised she didn't break open already. Maybe she wasn't going to and then this helped her. Who knows. Butwhen they help enchant her, instead of just the glow like you get, she'll have what's called a dream dance. A chrystalis..she'll shed part of the mortal facade and be a changeling like yours truly."

"Cool...." a little wisrfully.

"Ah, sorry man.": he says "I Wish there were some way we could like.. turn you into a changeling without losing your soul.. but if that were known .. well, we wouldn't be endangered, you know?"

"Yeah, no man, it's cool. I want to stay me."

"Good, because dude, I know it sounds cheesy? But you're a good guy you know?"

"I know, but good on you for seeing it." A cocky grin; he's teasing.

"Oh yeah. I see it" A nod, then a beat "I am SO making first moves on Ramona if she is a sidhe though and beating your time"

grin back

"Beat My Time?" Adam scoffs at the antiquated phrase. "Ok, Boomer."

"Dude, don't mock my boomer past life.. he got more tail than you have dreamed of"

But he grins anyway

"Dunno, man, I can dream of a lot of tail...." doubtfully.

"Dude, we have got to find you a regular girlfriend or a gym membership. Something to burn off that energy. Me too I guess." He sighs "Missing Nadeen as more than a friend. How is it too great guys like us aren't dripping in girls? I mean, I know they don't owe us anything but ah"

"Word."

"I don't know... maybe we can point each other out to likely options. You be my wing man one night, I be yours the other?"

Adam nods. "Cool. You like Ramona, or whoever she is, I got you."

"Nah. Let's be honest, you saw her first... and ...mm you know, if she's a sidhe I'd like to try, but if she's not, you try? "

An awkward pause. "Here's the thing, right? You got other satyrs around. Trolls everywhere. Family of boggans. Like.... Symon and Dirk and Nadeen are all.... singles. Nadeen is, like.... in the ballpark but she doesnt really talk to me. An'.... an' I want to know more abput Sidhe. -From- Sidhe."

"Well.. sadly most of the female satyrs are family so .. oh, you mean like, just to talk to? "

"or ..more?"

"Both." A grin. "But you have a good point, 'bout Satyrs around here."

"Look, Nadeen's going to wonder why you want to talk to her. I mean, she's going to say you're not a sidhe, you're sidhe blooded, and they're not the same thing."

"It's cold, but.. that's probably it," he says

"Yeah, one reason I haven't really tried"

"What you need is a sidhe from one of the nicer houses to mortals... Fiona are hearbreakers but that's not always so bad. Liam now, that's the ticket. They protect mortals. I mean, Sir Frank is a troll but he's a liam to and he'd make a wishbone out of some guy who tried to ravage you"
