Re: We meet over Coffee...

he smiles "I'm Matthew I'm not sure what I want to do with my life but I do try to draw a lot, especialy people as pretty as you" He smiles brightly.

Annabelle blinks "You dont mind being troubled by a childling?"

Matthew asks "Lady can I ask about a problem facing me and most childlings in the city? " suddenly serious

"Theirs a kinain... agent in local social services but, shes getting along in years and isnt even aware of what shes supposed to be doing, when not enchanted anymore. Any ideas?" is sighing "some think its best to ask her to retire, as shes not doing us any good anymore, but im not a lost boy myself, but I know one or two as friends"

Re: We meet over Coffee...

"Nice to meet you Matthew, "aww, don't worry about that yet, you sweet charmer, your Dan will make itself evident so long as you keep just being you," Ygraine said then she chuckled and shook her head 'no' at Annabelle's surprised assertion. She grinned and replied, "why would I? They're old friends returned to us with new eyes."

As Matthew posed his question she listened thoughtfully. She nodded as he explained the situation then hmmed, screwed up her lips in a crooked smile, then laughed. She crooked her finger, beckoning him near then whispered so Annabelle would REALLY have to try to listen in as she gave the childing a suggestion. "Two birds, one stone. I wouldn't ask her to retire. I'd encourage her to dream a new dream. I know of a baker boggan who needs help and she could be perfect, if she were to suddenly desire nothing more then the fulfillment of a new career late in life. Convince her that baking cookies and cakes will satisfy her soul and you solve your problem AND help a fellow kithain... and probably will get free yummy stuff for the rest of your life... what do you think, Matthew, m'dear?"

He pauses "A Boggan baker are you talking about Roger?" He asks..

"Shes not related to him at all" Annabelle says.

"Well shes his aunt, and hes worried about her but, how would lost boys stay safe? She was there to keep CPS off our backs, I do like the lady kinda, but  I'd like to help some of my close friends to, keep us from having to worry about visits from meddling social workers"

Re: We meet over Coffee...

"It sounded to me that your problem was her advanced years making her neglect her duties. Finding her a new place to help could be step one. If she's Roger's aunt, getting her to work with him should be easy. Step two would be getting a new Kinain put in her place... hmm... that's something that would take more string pulling then I can do yet. In the interim, after I get settled into a place, I'd be happy to be play the role of responsible aunt to the Lost Boys," Ygraine offers gamely. "I was already thinking I wanted to find some old warehouse I could convert into a living space. I'll just look for one with space to be a de facto flop house," she muses aloud.

Re: We meet over Coffee...

they nod "Maybe sometime latter you could speak with her" Matthew suggests "I think a lot of lost boys would appreciate some help"

Annabelle snorts "And of course we HAVE to stick with the current plan of a kinain in the Social services office no way at all we could coopt a mundane as needed a Kinnain has make a marty of herself to mundanity its the only way, we cant just interfere as needed" snidely.

Matthew continues."So you a bit too busy to be a model right now, latter or what?" is curious.

Re: We meet over Coffee...

"Happy to," Ygraine said jauntily as Mathew suggested she talk to the Kinain. She chuckled as Annabelle and nodded knowing then replies saying, "the easy path oft leads to ruin. Then again, how often does those in ivory towers dane to look down at the costs paid by their 'underlings'?" She inquired in a sad tone. Then Matthew claimed the Baroness' attention with his question and she laughed ruefully but nodded in agreement. "I've a few things to do today, but later is a definite 'yes'," she promised earnestly.

Then she looked up into the sky and frowned a little adding, "as day threatens to turn to night, tradition demands I make my way to those who rule here before the stars rise." Something in Ygraine's tone betrays the fact that she'd really rather spend the time with the two of them. Duty called, as much as she was loathe to answer it. Wryly she said, "I'm sure the Court has heard there's a big, bad Ailil in town. Best to meet them on my terms then theirs." She chuckled and asked her two companions, "would either or both of you lead me to where I might find this land's sovereign?"

Matthew smiles "I'd be happy to! Fraternizing with a Baroness is a good way to get a bonafide  leg up for my career whatever it winds up being" says brightly.

Re: We meet over Coffee...

"Wonderful, Matthew," Ygraine said to the little Nocker; impressed by his vocabulary and control over his tongue. She looked to the pooka and asked, "are you with us, or bowing out? I respect your feelings and wouldn't want to make you endure company you'd rather not keep." As she spoke to them she walked towards her steed 'Peggy', a gorgeous custom Harley to banal senses and a wonder in clockwork to glamourous eyes.

Re: We meet over Coffee...

Ygraine gave Matthews hair a playful tussling then helped him up onto her steed. "Of course, no fun arriving without an entourage," she quipped then scootched forward to make space for Annabelle if she was coming before heading to the duke's home.

"End of the world, I'd say," Ygraine joked and added, "especially when one is Baroness Ygraine O'Maleigh, proud daughter of House Ailil." She bowed as she introduced herself then standing tall daring ambone to take issue with her name, rank or house.

"Could i become part of your entourage your a %*#(@ing fine lady" he says with a smile

"I meant formally, would you have me for the time being at least, dont have much else to do not in a apprenticeship yet"
(OOC: you dont mind the symbols I dont want to have to use that many Expletives I can use them occasionaly but...)

"Ailil?!" they blink nervously  and incredulously not sure of their hearing

then quickly send her along to speak with the duke (Joining the two scenes)

"An  ailil in my city?" The duke asks with dismay, but without outrage. "what brings you here, some artifact youve heard of?"

Re: We meet over Coffee...

"It could happen, Matthew. So I'll say 'yes' now, with this meeting as a trial. Do well and we can talk Oaths later," Ygraine said in a warm yet serious tone. This question Matthew has put to her is something she doesn't take lightly but, for now, is open to consider it. "And thank you for the vote of confidence," she says to him softly before they enter the castle.

Ygraine chuckled as the Duke's flunkies gape at her then hurry her along into his presence. She offers the Duke the deference his office is due and looks at him askew as he expresses the emotion her House stirs up in him. She chuckled and dipped her head to him, acknowledging the truth in his words. "There are relics here that I seek agency over," she admits easily. "But in my short time here, a matter or two has come to my attention I would address. I hope I have your Grace's leave to take up the cause of the Lost Boys," the Baroness says, the slight lilt in her voice putting something of a request in her tone.

Re: We meet over Coffee...

Bathsheba makes a bow to the Duke. 'I am uncertain as to my future, yet. I cast the runes earlier and saw important things in the Dan. As such, I'm here to firstly make you aware of these ripples of import, and secondly to enquire if you might be aware of what they mean.'

Noting the new arrival, Bathsheba introduces herself. 'I am Elizabeth Brown, known to our kind as Bathsheba ap Scathach. This is good timing. Please, tell me about the Lost Boys? Perhaps they are the ripples I saw when I consulted the Dan earlier.'

Re: We meet over Coffee...

The duke sighs forlornly  "I know of the issues with our agent in social services, what would you have us do about it, some say we should have replaced her some time ago... but last we spoke with her theirs at least 3 autumn people shes constantly exposed to, spreading their Banality like a plague" is quite sad "What would you do to help the lost boys, the thought of an ailil building a support base in my city makes me somewhat uneasy, I will not lie"

Re: We meet over Coffee...

"Autumn People, then it makes even more sense to put distance between a Kinain and them. Her spark is too precious to let die due to the proximity to their banality," Ygraine said with real concern in her voice. "This would be a time when a friend of the family ploy might be most useful. I'd suggest she retire then become a foster parent, given her years of service that wouldn't be seen as odd. Would it?" She asked.

Then she waved away the Duke's expressions of his fears of her building a power base. "We are Sidhe, power is drawn to us like iron to a lodestone," she said with a wry and knowing grin on her lips. "I would see the Lost Boys have a place they can hang their hats and call 'home' when needed. That's why I think having the Kinain retire and serve as their foster mom could make sense to help handle mundane authorities. Or, once I settle into a place myself I would be happy to share my roof with them. Childings need protection and the safety to follow their dreams where they will go."

Ygraine smiled and nodded to Bathseba then said softly, "that pretty much should bring you up to speed. There are childings experiencing issues with social services, but our agent in place is no longer quite suited to the task. A new strategy is needed, and I can think of no more pressing need then ensuring young souls on the Changing Path have safe haven as they grow into who they will now be."

Re: We meet over Coffee...

Bathsheba makes a small bow to Ygraine, a polite sign she concurs than any real sign of deference.

'I agree, my lady. It would make sense that such matters are placed in the hands of the most capable to support such young fae. If the Duke,' she turns to face him again as she speaks, 'is uncomfortable with the thought of an Ailil running such an establishment, perhaps the Scathach can be a useful intermediary between the Duke and the Baroness? We are a house of balance, and one with more experience of the Autumn World than any other, for many of us stayed back when the sidhe retreated to Arcadia. That makes us, I think, powerful intercessionists. I wouldn't want to step on any toes, but I would like to help, if I may. You know neither of us yet, and so we are to prove ourselves, but perhaps in this joint endeavour we will have the opportunity to do so.'

Re: We meet over Coffee...

Ygraine chuckled at the question the Duke posed. "Home schooling would draw too much attention. I'm surprised there hasn't been a private academy set up locally for our Kithain Childings and young Kinain. Or," she says, tapping her chin thoughtfully with the index finger of her left hand. "A Charter School... perhaps /that's/ a good use of our retiring Kinain. Perhaps a rich uncle of hers could leave her a house and some lands on which she could establish a boarding school for artistic youth?" She offers lightly then looks around to see if any refreshments are on offer.

Upon seeing Bathseba bow to her, Ygraine dipped her head slightly, acknowledging the polite gesture. She listened to the Scathach's suggestion in support of her endeavor and bowed her head to the Duke to show her acceptance of the other Sidhe's offer of assistance in service to the youngest members of their society. "Yes, as trust is best earned through deeds done for others, indulge us in this, good Sir Duke. Judge us not from whispers of the past but from how we bring this to fruition," said the Baroness in gentile tones.

'Again, I concur,' Bathsheba says. 'A charter school would make for a good cover.'

She follows Ygraine's wandering eyes, then begins to wonder about refreshment herself.

Re: We meet over Coffee...

During a bit of a pause uncomfortable silence for a second, Matthew speaks out of turn , if perhaps forgivably "My Lord shouldnt you be offering my lady and the other lady here Refreshments they've both had a long trip" He points out sourly, but with some degree of real concern for Ygraine. having looked them over and been able to intuit it about them.

"Ah yes, where are my manners" The duke says, grudgingly, but politely enough.

"Am I to take it this Rapscallion is now under the Baronesses protection?"  duke asks darkly.

 Matthew waits hopefully for the answer.

"Wine, tea" The duke asks grudgingly.

Re: We meet over Coffee...

Ygraine favored Matthew with a grateful glance when he spoke up out of turn. She let flicker in her eyes her appreciation for his concern as the Duke shifted topics then asked after Matthew. "It would be remiss of me not to nurture so gallant a soul, would it not?" Ygraine asked the Duke, nodding 'yes' as she spoke. She flashed Matthew a warm smile as she heard the refreshment the Duke offered. "A frosty glass of Ice Wine would be most welcome, if such might be stocked in the Duke's cellar," she replied then looked to Bathseba to see what her choice might be.

'Ice wine, you say? Now that would be delicious. Failing that, any ice cold drink--ice tea perhaps or lemonade--would do.'

She, too, secretly thanks Matthew, and makes a note to thank him later.
