"BUT" Nab says "it worked out and now he's ready to wish to help the lodge"

"No, Nab...."

Brekke considers Nabuni's words, then looks to Adam. "No?"

Gerd gets some Aspirin ready just in case the Chief wants a chaser.

"It's not her fault. It's my responsibility."

A door closes in the kitchen, and there is muttering, "...one day I will manage to do a complete shopping." Kerri.

"Chief... he could wish to be kithain." She blurts out. "I mean, if it's not a cursed wish, like it summons a sidhe soul.... but Dagmar, or you, you could ask if it's a trick?"

Gerd goes over to Kerri and gets her a drink and whispers an update to her

Another blink from the Chieftain. "Wish to be kithain?" A long exhale and she moves to settle in her customary chair by the fire.

Kerri listens to Gerd. At one point she tenses and gives a sharp look first to Adam, and then to the lamp.

Softly. "Hey Kerri."

Gerd admits "using the Gwydion boon on the genie IS a clever idea"

"I have never tried such, but I believe it could work. But wishes...these are dangerous things."

Kerri looks over to Dagmar and gives her a small, tense grin. "Hi there, Dagmar. Interesting night, here."

"Kinda sorta. Need me to haul in stuff? They boys are at the Farm, so they're safe from the crazy."

She moves over and reaches for Adam's hand. "I'm sorry... if I'm like, telling you what to do. But I thought that's what you wanted. More than anything..."

To Adam, though not a whisper.

Kerri gives the lamp another glance, then nods to Dagmar. "Come and help me, yes, please."

Adam lifts his head. "Yeah. I want it. But...." He swallows. "If these wishes could be more for the Chief then.... I'd make them for her."

Dag nods, heading with the Hearth.

Bursting out of the lamp comes the Genie "Granted!"

Kerri and Dagmar gather up the rest of the (ample) shopping from the Jeep. "That boy gets in more trouble...." she says of Adam.

Mazu-Morkata smiles

Nab has fallen back "The heck?"

"I didn't say it!!"

Brekke is about to speak when the genie appears, and she stands again to face him. "What has been granted?" she demands.

She eeps in shock and jumps back as it boils out!

"YOu said 'wish'... and then you expressed you will. The remaining wishes COULD be more for the Chief.. and you would make them for her. Granted. Of course, that was the second wish. So now, your Chieftain has ONE wish only. Then I am free" The Genie beams

"Well, guess it's his turn..."

"That's not fair!" Nabuni says

"But that's not FAIR!"

A glance to Nabuni, and an absurb temptation to laugh despite it all.

"Oh, shit - shouting."

Brekke narrows her eyes. "It is like that, is it?" A sigh. "Adam...." She shakes her head. "I am sorry."

Nabuni shares the look, full grown again, she snerks

Kerri groans. "Of course there's shouting," and she hustles the bags inside.

Then Nab glares at the more powerful Chimera

"What?"

Dag goes straight through the kitchen to peek through the door, arms still full of bags.

"Adam, your words have allowed the genie to give me the final decision over the final...hope statement." An eyebrow at the genie, then back to Adam. "We now have only one opportunity."

The Chieftain's presence gives Kerri the leeway to get the frozen goods away quickly, at least.

Mazu-Morkata says "Ask your wish, O Chieftain, so I maybe free of the lamp"

"Sorry, Chief." Quietly.

"What happens when he's free?"

"Will he, like, rampage?" From the peanut gallery.. er.. kitchen doorway.

"This is a good question. What happens when you are free, Genie?" Brekke says carefully.

"I would return to a paradise of the dreaming where all Genies go, where a harem of great beauty would await me in a golden palace and feed me peeled grapes" He smiles (lie on the second part)

A brow. "I do not think there will be peeled grapes. It is a rare harem who would agree to that. Besides, they sound...unpleasant."

Kerri relieves Dagmar of her shopping bags.

He sighs "Fine.. there are some women I know there and my palace is more of a brass structure.."
