She sees a certain longhaired satyress talking to some daughters of eve

She starts to approach, but hesitates.

Masey has been in contact with her, well wishes on social media at the very least, but still...

Masey is heard "Gonna be a great party, I know, but I have to pass. Prior engagements"

Maybe she can wait.

"Aww" the other girls sigh "See you later then. Let us know if you change your mind"

And then Masey waves to them, turns around, and her face lights up, "HEY, it's you!" And she gives a geniune hug of delight to Sam

"Hey." A touch of surprise at the hug, but she doesn't pull away.

"You look good. How you been? "

"Good. Busy. Lot's of work at home."

"You?"

"Depends on how you define work for me" She admits "But sounds like I had it easier. Sorority stuff takes SOME work but not too bad. There was this amazing drag show I saw, Polly Darton? Outrageous fun. Wish you could see it. "

"...Parrot type? Yea tall?"

She holds a hand at a level.

"Mockingbird I think" She admits, lowering her voice "But hard to tell under all the gear. Definite bird pooka though. "

"She's my friend's dad! Really sweet."

"Oh wow, wish I could have met him in person though, we definitely got to see the show together next time he's around" She grins "Sound good?"

"Sure."

"Fantastic. Hey, how's YOUR fam? Your mom was really kind to me when I visited"

"Mom's always great. Um. CJ is getting SO big. Dad's doing good."

"Oh you best not be boasting about your ltitle bro growing without pictures. And yeah, your dad's solid. I see where you get that stoicness from"

"Hmph."

She gets her phone, swiping until she finds pics to share. "You free this afternoon?"

"That's troll for Masey is always right" A smile then she looks, "Oooo wow, what are you FEEDING him? And yes, I am. "

A soft grunt.

"What you got planned?" She inquires

"So, there's this teacher..."

"Yeah?"

"I think she's an egg?"

"oh?" Realization "OH"

"Didn't know you could make it to thirty without popping, but, like..."

"Anyways, I'm gonna go see her at office hours. Things might get wild. Wanna come with?"

"I ..." She looks skittish, which is surprising for Masey, then she says "I best. Not good for you to risk a dream dance alone"

"I know the chimera can get wild, but we can't just leave her, and there's no freehold."

"Rescue, yeah?"

"Yeah" She sounds resigned, "Escheat is Escheat. I... I had a bad dream dance experience once. Tried to help someone. It got pretty bad" She cconfesses "I'm a bit nervous"

"Listen, no worries. I can handle it! You head to the Tri-Delt house and hunker down."

"No no... I maybe a lot of things but I don't leave chryalids alone. I may be further back than you, but I'll be there" Resolved

"I make a good wall."

Masey actually laughs at that, "I believe you" the long haired girl chuckles throatily "And I am grateful for your protective shadow. I'll make it up to you" She assures then says "I wonder what kith she is? "
