Nab isn't there.

But that doesn't mean she wouldn't give advice if asked 😉

"Yeah! Last I saw she was at home. Want to go ask?"

Lip-chew. "Okay."

"Come on. I drove here....." And so they head to the Thomas residence, and hopefully avoid most family entanglements on the way to his room.

They do... though that creepy doll eyes them from the top of the stairway before vanishing back into his sister's room

Adam glowers at it. "Hate that fucking thing...."

"She's an inanimae too, right?"

"Not sure. Fucking creepy though."

In his room.... "Nab?" He looks around her usual spots.

Nabuni is staring out the window sill, but turns "Hey?"

"I've met a couple, but they're more... nature-y?"

"Hi!" Adam bounds up. "Listen, Dagmar and I need to talk to you."

"Oh? I was just going to be a voyeur and watch the neighbors make out, but this is more important, how can I help?"

Dag hangs back, arms folded again in a protective huddle.

"Hi, Dagmar" Nabuni waves friendly

"hey."

"Come on in, Dag. Nab's easy to talk to." Adam turns back to the mini succubus. "Ok, see.... Dag isn't really into the physical side of stuff. I mean, like, boyfriend-girlfriend, right? And yeah, sure, I'd like to. But she doesn't. So.... we need advice."

She studies the tops of her shoes.

"Oh? Well ,sure. Have a seat," Nabuni says, shifting form slightly to look more librarian like? Or is it a teacher? Glasses and hair up in a bun, nice outfit, "Sit wherever you feel comfortable, I know this sort of thing can be very personal and it's not always easy to share."

She gingerly sits on the edge of the bed.

"Okay, so, you both know I'm born of dreams of desire, so the information I give you is from that perspective? Okay? I want to be honest here. Some of the best passion comes when folks lower their guard and be honest with each other."

Fidget.

"But first, uhm, Dagmar, do you know why you're not into the physical side?" the little she devil actually sounds kind

"It's fine. I can do it."

A nose wrinkle, "You do know that if he needs relief he can just tend to himself right? You don't owe a guy anything, and Adam I am sure would agree. I'm not asking what you can do, I'm asking what you desire"

Testily. "I said I can do it!"

"And I believe you" The little creature says, shifting "hold on.. your desires... who you want there's a block..."

"Adam, close your eyes for a second" (And assuming he does so) for a moment, the imp's form shifts, looking just for a second like Adam, then Hastien, then Nadeen a flicker of Lupe.. very fast.

Dagmar shrinks back, flushed.

"Hey," She snaps back to her form before Adam can see, "nothing wrong with that, excellent taste really. Why would you be ashamed of that? It's natural to be attracted to some folks, and not to others. Nothing wicked about it. Trust me. I know wicked. That ain't it."

Mumbles. "M'not..."

The chimera looks up at her, patient, "Go ahead. You're a gwydion right? Then you know you can trust me. I won't betray your secrets. I don't betray Adam's." And she means it

"Yeah, I'm Gwydion."

"Cool. Well, I'm telling the truth, so maybe that helps? I hope so."

Then she whispers to the girl, "I'm...a bit confused. The only time you had your desires truly released was in the last year or so? Very uninhbited, and wonderful. With one you desired, and annother worthy of trust nearby? "

Adam does as asked, and even offers to step out if they need privacy.

She takes a shaky breath, not-looking, NOT LOOKING, withdrawn.

"I think I wanna go home."

"Okay," Nab says "But, can I visit you later? We can talk on your home turf and everything?"

Shrug.

"Okay. Hey," Nab says "Remember, you have the power here, okay? Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something. When it comes to desire, both need to want to, or it's.. it's wrong."

((Did Adam step out?))

((up to you))

(Up to you, Shady)

((Say he did so they can talk.))

((ok))

The chimera says that firmly and well, truthfully

Dag has retreated within herself.

The Chimera says "Somehow I don't think you'll let me possess you, would you? "
