Anita will make a mental note of their faces and hostility for later and move on...

Welcome back. I see that you were victorious."

In reply to Mab (msg # 138):

Anita will go back to watching...

Bowing to the queen, Atticus replies "Yis, yer maj'sty. I hope ta 'onor of the court be up'eld for ta hoomans 'n feys alikes."

In reply to Atticus Belvedere Silexum (msg # 140):

"As it should be. Now, my little one, what say you to this court?"

You wished to know my dreams when we first talked.  I told you of my dream.  I was happy to tell you in open and honest way as if your where a friend.
I would ask that you allow me to create my dream in peace.  That The Winter court will not interfere with my creation of my pocket autumn court.  The Fay court of the council of the Vampire Fairy's.
Well Rosewood had done it now.  He openly said what he has become and what he was going to do in front of the whole of the winter court.  No turning back now.
To allow me to create it with my own will and effort so it has strength and value in it's own right.  That it is truly independent.  Not a puppet or a vassal of the Winter Court.  I would like to be allowed to succeed or fail by my own hands.  However I would ask that you would be willing to recognize my pocket Fay Court should I succeed.  I would wish the Winter Court and my Autumn Court to be at peace with each other.  Fairy's of your court would be most welcome to visit as would others.  To enjoy the peace and safety I hope it will offer all that visit.  Maybe read the books in the library I hope to create.  All I ask is everybody respect the rules of my court.
It is not that I do not appreciate any offer of protection of being part of the winter court you would give me and my pocket realm.  But you more than anybody knows that the strength of any realm is based on the strength and integrity of it's rulers and their actions.  This peace of wisdom I have learnt from watching you today.
Will the Queen of fay dreams allow this little fairy to pursue his dream please.

OOC:
If need be I have 5 exp which I can spend on Reputation or Status for Rosewood to be allowed to do this in her eyes and the eyes of here court.  However I am hoping his fine words, subtle praise and having helped route out someone in her court that had disobeyed her will be enough :)
As for how Rosewood goes about making a pocket autumn court.  He and me have no idea.  It may not be possible but he going to try.

There is silence, and then the Ambassador begins to laugh.
Well my little one, you seek to reinvent the wheel!You need to go to the hill and find the dome where the two faced one points, and take the third door. Thre you will find your desire."

Rosewood looks over to Ambrosia Nocturne.
Thank you for your information.  I appreciate it.  As for inventing the wheel.  Only a fool or a genus can come up with something new.  The former I try not to be and the latter I will never be.  Dreams are dreams and they may never come true but I have been force to try to obtain mine.  Now I have decide to embrace my fate instead of hind from in.  I do not expect I am the first or will be last fairy to do so.

He turns back to mab.

Thanks you for listening to me and sorting out the problems with the Winter Court and the guild.  Thank you for your kind offer to join your court.  I hope you will enjoy watching as I try to create my dreams for myself.  As you are the Queen of dream and I sure you had a large hand it them already.

The little fairy for once bow in respect to Queen Mab.  Then waits for her to dismiss him.  Hoping he not upset her to much by wishing to be independent of her.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 144):

"Well then, you have chosen your court. Do your companions seek a place here, or do you all wish to pledge to the Autumn court?"

Rosewood shakes his head.
I am not pledging myself to the Autumn court.  I will serve no court or ruler.  That was why I asked what I did.

He then move back allowing the others to talk to the Queen.  Clearly she did not understand what he had in mind and he decided it was pointless and most likely dangerous to try to explain it to her.  Maybe Ambrosia Nocturne was wrong.  Maybe Rosewood was inventing something new or creating something that been long forgotten.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 146):

Unused to being addressed directly, Anita's response is short.

"I am neither get not human, so I do not pledge allegiance to any place I do not truly belong to."

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 146):

"Perhaps I will see you there."

In reply to Ambrosia Nocturne (msg # 148):

" go then, and may you find what you seek."

Rosewood bows a last time and turned to leave.
All in all it had work out better than he had hoped.  The situation with the guild was then main point of coming to the winter court.  That had been resolved.
As for joining the winter court and his own dreams.  Time will tell.

How he heads back the way he came.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 150):

Anita heads back with her.

"So it is resolved? The Winter court was not behind the attacks?"

Rosewood flys over and ask if he may land on Anita Drake shoulder.

The Winter Court is far more dark and brutal than the summer court.  But in her way The Queen is fair and has no wish to be at war with mortals.  They are but passing flowers in a field to her and her kind.  As is my race to them.  That is why I will not join them.

He turns back.

I think she may have known what Maudwyn was up to all along.  It was however up to someone to put the case before her before she could act.  Once the case was put forward Maudwyn would be put in her place.  Her presents at court now remind all what happens if you cross The Queen.

Rosewood face looks dark.  The dark fairy dust flames up in his eyes.  He turns back to Anita.
What worries me more is her not understanding the path I am now on.  Either she really does not understand my dreams, she does not think they are possible or she has some plan on the effect of what happening to me.
Anita Drake, it may not seem much to one as you but I can tell you now.  This incident has make my pixie dust more deadly.  It can hurt others more.  If it grows further then I can convert the life of anything I kill to extend my own.  Do you still wish to work with such a creature?

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 152):

Anita shrugs.

"I take their goods to extend my own life. I have no trouble if you take their life as well. They clearly were not using it properly..."

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 153):

Is Atticus accompanying you back to Hyacinth's hoofbeats?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 154):

He is welcome to, but that is up to him...

Time to talk to the guild? Rosewood asks.

OOC:
Without an answer we just have move on until he / she can post.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 156):

"Yes, I think so. With the winter court not behind it, the matter is resolved, no?"

And the nasty winter elf having to deal with who is going to try to hit her next.  I don't think she is going to have time to turn any humans against the guild for some time.

Rosewood adds.

Yes, Atticus will also be going back to the bar.

In reply to Atticus Belvedere Silexum (msg # 159):

you make your way back through the snow to the gate, and into the fey bar...
