"I'm sorry... i guess I'm still selfish" She admits "I do miss mom and dad. And... I know, I just know, that bitch is working behindn my back. I can't seem to gain ground... Aiden annd I can finally be consorting.... but I hear the slurs... and see the judgement. Then Jaymes gets hurt... and I can only imagine what you went through there. He'll be fine I know but good lord I thought the man .. I always thought of your dad as like unfazable, maybe invulnerable. And.. I couldn' help you or anyone. And I could't help him so I couldn't help you and... " A delicate sniff. Nope, she cries beauitfully, sidhe complexion does not splotch even when crying

She draws Nadeen into her arms, allowing the sidhe to cry into a solid blue shoulder.

Nadeen actuallly does cry "I just...she owns the thanes, lovely ladies. She has them spying on me. She's more powerful in magic. Hell, she's probably better with a sword."

"She's an old crusty bitch."

"She is.." nadeen lifts her face and wipes "And.. I worry " Low whisper only the one next to her or a sluagh can hear "That she'll still play Connor if she can. Watch out for that"

"She's tried, yeah."

A nod "How IS conor? I know he saved May by getting hep, but you know how he puts a bright face on things for others sake?"

"He does..."

"Maybe if you visit the house he can visit too? It's my house, not Aiden's... well , Sylvi andn my house" A thouht "or i can bring Rochallor to visit?"

"I mean, he has friends here..."

"Oh yes, Jack's and the CHief's garden is lovely by the way"

"Yeah..."

Nadeen nods "I worry about Rochalor a bit. I think.. he blames himself for what happened to Blossom"

"I don't know him, so I can't say."

A nod then "How is Lane? She's had a lot of near scares"

"Lane seems to have bounced back."

"Ever get the feelings the childlings are the toughest seeming?" She seems impressed

"Yeah, resilient."

"Can you imaginne if we came here as childlings? I would have been SUCH a brat" a smile though

"And you, probably Kerri's kitchen gremlin"

She smiles. "Yeah, I can see it."

"A very serious little scowl on your face if the dough didn't roll flat and proper. "A solemn nod

a pause then " I AM sorry if it feels like everyone leaves. I don't know what to say. Sylvi.. is wiser in matters of the heart than I am. Takes after her mother"

"I didn't mean to hurt you."

"Sorry."

"Thank you. that.. meanns a lot" She admits

"guess we're both feeling a little fragile"

Dag nods.

"I.. thought about leaving the party the other niht and headingg to your place. I didn't think you hated parties so much. You've enjoyed Pennons and birthday parties. I know you like ducking in the kitchen now and then but... why avoid the party entirely? You earned a LOT of that praise. You saved your dad from that gunman in the hospital"

Jaw-jut.

"I didn't do that much with all this."

"Don't jaw jut at me. Be stubborn all you like but you deserve some credit even if how much is for debate." A hmph "You always short change yourself. Serve you right if I ihired a troubadour to follow you for a day singing how great you are."

"God no. I'd punch him."

A lauggh "Hazzard pay then?"

Eye-roll. "C'mon."

"Fine, beside,s your mom has that corner covered" A hug

"Oh, I saw Spark.. he's just grand his winngs are...

And the girls may talk horses for awhile
