"Yeah, but I don't want to adopt you, just wondering if you could tell me if I'm Seelie or Un."

"Yeah .. give me your palm, I'll do my fortune teller act... well, not so much fortune, but you get me." He holds out the hand that was used for Fistbumping a moment ago

Adam sticks his hand out into Zane's waiting palm.

He spits in it, then begins to doodle along the heart line

"Ew." He remarks.

"Deal with it" He traces the saliva, then says "interesting... no can't read THAT deep...but your season. .mmm"

"Yeah?" Eager interest.

"You're not a Paragon of Summerhood, but you are in the Seelie Court, my friend. Honor, Love, Beauty, Repayment of debts etc. If you were a satyr I'd call you a Sun satyr, but there you go"

"What's a Sun satyr?"

"Just a fancy term for Satyr of Seelie persuasion"

"I Used to tell Nadeen it's why she couldn't resist me" He says "Then, she resisted me" A sigh

"Yeah, that sucks. At least she and Dag seem happy? And you're still with Maya, kind of?"

"Honor, Love, Beauty...... yeah, I dig that." He wipes his hand on his pants.

"Yeah, Dag and she are a good match" APprovingly "And Maya is.. yes. I would say I'm still with Maya" A smug look

"Good?" grinning.

"Dude, the more repressed folks try to make a woman, the more when she breaks that repression, she goes at with a vengeance. It's like.. I am every rebellious outlet she ever wanted"

"Sweet." Approving. "I wanted to get there but.... hey, had my chance." Shrug.

"Somehow I think you're doing juuuust fine" A grin "Oh, sorry, I couldn't read your legacy. Maybe some other time I can try again"

"I do ok." He nods. "Got two of the best girls anyone could ask for! What's a legacy?"

"your role, what makes you happy in the universe, it can be something like ...say, an seelie might be a bit a natural ruler, or Regent even if he's only in charge of campers? That's what restores him, leading nobly. An Unseelie might be quite the knave, living to seduce and even corrupt.... that's overly simplistic, but those are examples."

"Huh. And that's just Fae?"

"Nope, Kinian .. fae blooded like you too."

"Most things and people of the Dreaming have a da'an, a destiny. As one sluagh I know might say 'Da'an is not to be trifled with, son of Pan, learn to weave her threads if you can, to move them ever so slightly so you might shift your place in the tapestry if you dare, but no one is fear of the tapestry all together, the loose thread gets snipped'" He does a whispering impression of ..someone

"Cool. Ok, so .... Seelie." He nods.

"Yup." He says "Though it can shift over time, and on certain holidays..well, Samhain mostly"

"Yeah, Sally Mae said something about Beltaine and Unseelie acting more Seelie. Dagmar didn't say much about Samhain, only that I wasn't allowed over." Glum.

"Oh, Sally Mae? Totally into me." He nods.

"You are the luckiest guy" Envy

"AND the new nurse??"

"Charis... I don't understand what kind gods granted her, but..good work"

"Right? I'm going to get sick a LOT....."

"I can't believe they're closing the school an extra week just when they get medical help we'd be HAPPY to see " Grumble "not fair"

"Right??" A sigh.

"Sally Mae's playing it cool, I think the age thing freaks her out. Still."

"Stigma my friend. Agism is an ugly thing"

"Hey, -I'm- fine with it! But you know.... not in her comfort zone. I can build something with her while I wait. She said once I have a diploma, it would be cool."

"Wow that's.. different. I need to study and not just magic" He says

"Right? I mean, I'd break a couple of books for a chance to see her bra -on-...."

"You know, I bet she'd be a sucker for highbrow poetry!" Zane says snapping his fingers

"OOooooo....." eyes wide. "Dude, can I steal that?"

"Hey, you did let me go after Maya so.. sure"

"Dude, I didn't 'let' you do anything." Adam points out fairly. "I was kinda into her but she didn't seem to be into me, and you got there. I supported you!"

"Well, I'm supporting you. Good luck with the poetry" A nod

"Thanks. Uh. What poems, do you think?"

"Not sure, romantic ones I guess. She walks in beauty like the night? Girls LOVe that"

"Yeah, I'll have to look some stuff up." He nods.

A nod "Cool. Just nothing that rhymes with Nantucket. Tried it. Girls are not into it"

Adam laughs. "Got it."

"Come on man, let's see what our library has. " And they move to check it out

"You have a library here?" surprised.
