Her hands with his, after the fugitive chrysalids!

Unfortunately, it looks like some sort of picnic was set up here, two women appear half possesed by glamour... a spent man between them. They're breaking out fforks! Enchantment has allowed them to be possessed. Earl gestures to the forks and the fly from the hands of the women... beyond this, Zara can see something oddly romantic and definitely twisted... a satyress in tattered bridal veil, with at least four mortal men worshiping her, playing with them, teasing them... sure, but focusing her lust on a man in a torn groomsuit, not a man, a monster, a redcap... He is grabbing her, yes, but appears to have decided to bite a local statue! to keep from hurting HER even as they prepare to consummate ..and yes, it would appear she waants them all, but wants her betrothed first this night! It's an odd sign of devotion on both sides, and them half crazed.

Zara.... quietly blinks.

"Zara, do we kill the chimera I know you don't approve but some of them are..." Earl turns to see what she's looking at, and swallows, "oh. I feel like we're intruding." The satyress dances for her mate, and the groom snaps another statue arm as he looks at her lustiily

"Well.... they certainly want each other, but they can't stay here."

"Agreed," earl says "this is a ..glamour storm that is sure to draw even more folks into..." Earl's voice sounds a bit dry, longing as he feels his own love in his grip, but steels himself

Zara also feels her breath quicken, but she holds. Gift of pan..she's felt it before. the new satyress doesn't even realize.

"how..how do we move them or ..stop this?" Earl asks.

Her hand twines with Earl's. "I am uncertain. Direct confrontation?"

"That could be dangerous, but..what if we offered them what they want in a better location?" He looks to her for ideas.

"I worry alone together might be dangerous for them, too..."

"How's your chicanery?"

"I can veil..."

"Think veiling them from each other...would snap them out of it or piss them off?"

"Worth a try... in chaos much may trick a lover's eye, each other, for the nonce, you may not spy..."

And her cantrip cast, each suddenly loses track of the other.... "Honey?" One calls out in worry "Where... I can't..." //"Baby I can't ..where did you go?" I and the chimerical storm finally lessens, as each is shocked out of their respective passions..for the nonce. This is not to say there aren't dozens of new chimera, and half a dozen enchanted people, but at least save for that fall out and the fate o the lovers themselves- it's over.

"I suppose congratulations are in order." A whisper, wry.

The two figures turn, neither noticing each other, but they see the blue giant and nestled in his grip a wisp of a woman almost a white shadow. "What? did you say something? I'm looking for my wife?" The redcap says with a warning in his tone, but his kith can rarely help it.//The Satyres licks her lips, "You two are cute but... I'm looking for my husband I..oh I feel very odd."

They still can't see each other, until Zara drops that cantrip.

And her keen ears pick up the sounds of knights approaching, well, knights and thanes. The Count's men.

"Know you your nature? What has happened? Look, see, you are changed."

"I am.. .I..don't know what happened..." The cap looks down ,"Damn I'm hungry."///The Satyress answers "oh yes, my husband I started to.. I could finally give myself and once I started... I just lost it...holy fuck do I hve horns?"

"Nothing wrong with horns" Earl mutters

"It seems your love released you. Reach out your hand, you will find your other half... but be prepared, for you have entered a new world together in more ways than one."

"If anyone hurt them, I'll rip their guts out and choke them with it" the cap says with a snarl, and means it- but he reaches out. //The satyress whimpers "I hope so I can't hold out much longer and I want him to be my fir.." She does reach out and.. their hands touch, they can see each other again.

And they kiss! The cap restraining himself from biting too hard, though he does nip a little. And her restraining from throwing him to the ground and taking her due. Still, one damn hot kiss.

An amused shake of her head, and she leans a little back against her troll.

Earl's arms fold around her and he looks down pleased, "A confused and messy ending, but a happy one?"

"It seems to be..." She holds onto his forearms, and bends down to kiss his hands.

The knights approach, but one motions to the others, "They've been found it seems, focus on capturing wild chimera and fuguing mortals. Ah.. looks like some citizens have aided in containing it afore us but..would be unchivilrous to part a lady and her love so soon. " the sidhe knight nods to Zara "Miss Zara? I believe? And...Sir Earl? you might not know me, but I serve the Count. " She does in fact know him, Aldermore is a reserved knight, who never took advantage of August- though that might be more beause he isn't a social fellow period.

"Sir Aldermore. Of course. And.. they do seem rather occupied, don't they?"

"yes," he turns his face away from the lovers "If you wish, I and my men can see they get to the freehold. We'll explain things to them there..."

She offers a slight bow. "I trust the Hollow to guide them in their first days. Thank you."

"We shall send word of any results. A double dream dance... amazing... the odds are..well, extodinarie. We'll send word of any news that might arise " the knight glances over then blushes and looks back to her "Of course, we'll ah, escort them once they've had a taste of... well, nuptials. Pardon."

"Aye. Propriety. Good luck."

Earl smiles, "We quite agree. Thank you." And he escorts her away, flying where there are no unechanted witnesses, to get her to himself ..what is his rush to.. oh. Well. That's something to discuss.

(End scene)
