"I didn't know earlier. Uncle Vali told me while you were gone"

"Hm. Is Carowyn still with Vali?"

"At our house. Tifannys talking him down"

"I will go and speak with him."

Gerd nods "He'll listen to you"

"I hope you are correct." And she heads out.

Kerri is muttering quiet outrage about Sally Mae's attacker as she puts the final items in the basket. "I don't want to wake up Sally Mae if she's sleeping, so I'll take this over later...unless maybe you could Flash it into her house?" she asks Gerd.

"I can" Gerd takes it in her hands. She focuses "Nummy nummy yummy but not for MY tummy"

and it's gone. Gerd remains

Brogan has opinions "Well, Revenge is a must"

Kerri sighs. "Not for a Carnivale offense."

"Although...I tend to think that only covers offenses taken against a person of higher rank. When it comes to abuse of a kinain? I'm inclined to agree with you."

"Oh, we can't" Brogan says "Sally Mae CAN . We can supply or help herr in small ways, no questions asked. IF the law not to harm on Carnivale didn't protect a kinian, then she's not bound against pay back"

Kerri blinks and looks at him, then at Gerd. "You didn't hear that. Unless you agree. If you do, you get to help."

Gerd's jaw drrops "What, does Dairrean have BOOKS on how to arrange revenge?"

"Have them?" the sidhe boy lookss imperial as only his kith can , "Miss Gerd, we WROTE them"

"Gerd?" Kerri wants confirmation of Gerd's stance on the matter.

"Oh. Right Right" Gerd says "I'm in...to supply or help her with.. whatever mystery project she needs"

Squire Brogan looks at Kerri "Aren't you glad you kept me as your squire? " A wee bit pleased with himself

"You do turn out to be useful, now and then," she says with a wink. She really wants to ruffle his hair affectionately, but he might very well wish to take revenge for that, so she doesn't. "Now...what could we possibly suggest to her that wouldn't just escalate matters?"

"Well, Daireann believes in 2 eyes for one eye and a mouthful of teeth for one tooth" the squire says "But I guess you won't agree with that?"

"In my heart I might...but the last thing I want is to be setting Sally Mae up for further retaliation. She only has so much protection under fae law."

"Then..." He ponders "A minor humilattion, shaving of hair, exposure of a secret? Or....just her beating the kitthain up?"

"Or revenge that's completely anonymous, can't be traced back to her. That might not be so satisfying, though, if she really wants him to know it's from her."

Kerri pauses and gets a distant look.

"Maybe not knowing could be part of the revenge" the squire suggests "Paranoia as a punishment"

"Perhaps..." she says.

"Your squire creeps me out somedays" Gerd mutters

"Do you have an idea, my liege? " the squire says "Even a Daireann can learn"

She refocuses on the immediate area. "Much depends on what Sally Mae prefers. But...well...it's not the sort of thing that a Hearth should suggest...but slipping something into his food that results in a sustained bout of diarrhea sounds like appropriate payback."

"HA" Gerd grins

"Then I could mention it" the squire nods "My House isn't shy about such things." then a chuckle "Poop"

He still is a little boy

A grin. Mustn't ruffle the hair.

"The trick is formulating something to do the trick, and then making sure it reaches the target."

"Sally Mae can be sneaky" Gerd says "And this jerk whoever it is might underestimate us"

"Jerks usually do."
