"Welcome back, Old friend."

Twillon smiles as Nyr joins him in the stables. The Sidhe clasp hands as Weebit unsaddles Tork.

"There is some grave news in the Courts." he lowers his voice, glancing around. "Morgan's properties have been seized. Her servants are being treated for many cruelties. Some I fear will never..." He shakes his head.

"Three lost their lives breaking the wards around her personal burial grounds. So many bodies... some were human, some smaller fae. There are bones from human children. Her failures we are told, ones that expired from her lack of knowledge, then later from other situations. There are also the remains of adult fae."

He glances at the cwn annwn. It shakes its head, ears flapping, and trots from the stable.

"Unseelie are at Court. Many are nervous. They came with the caskets and are helping with the attempt to identify them by what was buried with them. So far we have an idea about several. Two are Unseelie Court, thought to have left the Realm years ago. Another... it is thought it is a young man who left on a quest with one of our Knights. If it is he, where is the Knight?"

Twillon touches a leather gloved hand to his own lips. "Peace Nyr. If it is indeed him the right people will know." His mind flicks across Gareth and how much he has lost. "I want to get things settled before Weebit sees the Healers. The Ambassador told me to look for a Tychus. I don't remember him."

Nyr laughs. "My apartments again, Twill, then I will send word that you and the little Lady have returned."

Weebit tugs at Twillon's sleeve. he smiles down, offering her his hand. She carefully balances and looks pleadingly at Twillon. "A bath? Do you think there would be time for a bath before seeing them?"

Nyr grins. "I will make sure of it, just for you."

Twillon helps her settle in his hair as Tork perches on his shoulders.

"Be careful of this Sidhe, Weebit. Friend or no, I will not lose you to him."

Nyr's eyes widen, "Me? I am not the one who made three dates in one night for the same Court Ball..."

Twillon rolls his eyes. "Here we go... I forgot!"
