She waits for them, at the door to their room. Not rude enough to just open it. Clinging to the wall, quietly.

Zara slinks after Ice, head ducked low. She slips into the room, crossing over to claim a spot on the bed.

She crawls inside, still on the wall. She is quiet for a moment, clearly trying to decide how to deliver her news.

(He yanks over a chair for her, then takes his computer chair)

She settles down in the chair, then faces them both. Her gaze oddly direct. "Ice." Stated in a rather strange whisper. More firm than others. "He remembers you. The guy that we scared. He does not remember us as well. But he remembers you. As he was enchanted, he should have remembered nothing. As such you were briefly on the news. A sketch mind you, not a full picture."

"...how?" she frowns, leaning forwards.

(For once, Ice blanches) "WHAT?" (A harsh rasp)

"Did it LOOK like me?"

"I mean, what me did he see?"

"He remembers." She takes a calming breath. "It looks vaguely like you. Thing is, I think he described your chimerical side. As such it does not line up completely with your mortal seeming." Then she loos to Zara. "I did some research. I do not think the mists protect him." She looks between them both. "It is rare."

"Can... can it be fixed?"

"Can you be sure of that? I mean, just once, right?" (He's caught his balance already, eyes narrowed)

"Could be something about -him-, nu?"

"I can't be sure of it...but he did not remember us. Zara and I that is."

"What, he thought -I- did all that?"

"He mentioned assistants. Girls, vaguely. But could not recall our faces in any detail."

"Not going to jump to conclusions, just based on ONE guy, are we?"

She looks to Zara. "If that is what it is, I am not sure. Perhaps it is best if Ice is careful for the time being."

"Do you wish to try it on other mortals?" A brow lifts.

"Maybe do an experiment. Carnival is coming up."

A soft hiss. "Dangerous. Best be masked?"

She nods. "This is true. Most things can be excused during carnival."

"I can try and see if he has any changling blood, or supernatural ties in the mean time."

"Still its odd that he cannot remember us...." She glances at Zara then Ice.." Seeming to think to herself.

"And you were hanging back, nu? It was us in the room..."

"Yeah. Maybe because I WASN"T, you know, participating?" (His eyes narrow, he leans forward with his elbows on his knees) "Still, he shouldn't have known ANYTHING happened, right? But sounds like he knows it wasn't no dream."

"Surprised he went to the police... with what -he- has done..."

"What I gave him was an enchanted drug." Said softly. "He should have remembered nothing at all."

"Should he be reminded what we know?"

"Maybe just lay low, maybe the forgetting will kick in later? I don't know."

"I am sure Miss Zara, that the police are in his pocket." Said almost gently.

She nods to Ice. "Yes, I think that is best. They ran the story but it was only a blurb. A normal police man can not see your chimerical side after all. "

"And the press? Or... if they were trafficked outside of state lines... the feds?"

"You know, was thinking of asking Ghost this, but maybe you, too. Maybe for Carnivale, go to one of those Unseelie Courts? You know the ones I mean." (His eyes dark) "Just to be safe."

She looks to Zara. "It is amazing how much one can cover locally." Then she blinks and looks to Ice. "I do not know how much more safe they would be. But I could take you." Said carefully.

"An Unseelie court? I.. mayhaps..."

"Never been to an unseelie Carnival..."

"Won't matter if it's true or not, that way."

She nods to Ice. "But if I take you. You both have to stick together. Do not separate. Promise me?"

"No, it won't matter then."

(He is eyeing Thirteen ) "Need someone to keep an eye on....?"

"Would I be... I wouldn't wish to... " she frowns. "I may have to stay home..."

"Think it would be good for you." (A shrug to Zara)

"Could ask Dria, too, sure she's been to all kinds."

"Miss Zara, it might be quite an experience for you."

"I will keep both eyes on the two of you." She smirks slightly. "Its just that it will be a new experience for you both, I am sure. Two is better than one in this case."

She nods. "I just... know I'm not very... I would not wish to damage your reputation."

"I don't think I need it." (Eyes narrowed)

Zara twists her fingers together.
