Once in the castle and in a room of their own, it took some effort, but Tereza changes back to her human form, only to find she's in an ice-white dress trimmed in blue. She turns in front of a mirror, looking at it and tugging at various parts of it.

"Oh come on, love. It looks wonderful on you," Sam says, lounging on a divan.

At some point since going inside, her hair has wound its way back to being thick, wild, and ginger.

"It does suit you and it will only be for a short time." She wore a neutral linen dress with delicate embroidered accents.

"I am dreading facing Gemma again. I fear I may have damaged her far worse then I had intended."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 1:57 am**

"She seemed to be moving pretty well under her own power," Tereza says, finally giving up fussing with the dress and moving to sit next to Sam.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:41 am**

"In the heat of the moment I had forgotten the effects the sword can have on magical beings." Now it was her turn to look in the mirror, though her focus was less on the dress and more on her own "new" and permanent features.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:44 am**

"She's with the people who can best help her. Even her mum is here."

"Now what are you fussing on, Viv?"

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:48 am**

"I have...crinckles..here...when I do this." She scrunched her face up.

"Do you think the years I spent in the Fey Realm are...finally catching up?"

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:53 am**

Tereza laughs, "No, sweetie. They always show up when you make your face do that." She scrunches her face up in imitation of Vivienne.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:59 am**

"I don't know if I should feel vaguely insulted on behalf of humanity," she smirks.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 3:07 am**

"I am sorry, I do not mean to offend or sound vain. It is just, I was there for several years. The young step into the mists only to return old..."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 3:11 am**

"You look beautiful, sweetie," Tereza says, holding her hands out for Vivienne, "Quit worrying."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 3:13 am**

"Besides, we're none of us only human here, aye?"

"So I'll leave it to humanity to be offended," she chuckles.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 3:30 am**

"True, still grey hair in next 20 years, bring it on. Grey hair in the next 20 minutes, big problem." She smiled.

"Now, shall we go see about food and drink."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 3:36 am**

"There's something oddly poetic about both our mums having to contend with feeding Tereza."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 3:38 am**

"Not my fault you weren't around when my mom was here," Tereza says with a snort.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 5:57 pm**

"Well she's your mum. Of course she has to feed you."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 6:06 pm**

"I'm sure she would have fed you too," Tereza says, "All that besides, I *can* moderate my eating."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 6:11 pm**

"And even when you don't I haven't seen it last even a minute on the hips, so I think I'm safe teasing you," she chuckles.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:55 pm**

"I am sorry. You have made amends with your mother, the woman tried to have you kidnapped and taken back to Russia."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:56 pm**

"Not the same woman, actually."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:12 pm**

"No, but not really the same woman. That was my sister... it's... kind of complicated. The woman I'm referring to is... well, my biological mother, but not the one who gave birth to me... it's complicated," she finally settles on saying.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:59 pm**

"I see." She hugged Tereza tightly.

"I am glad you were able to find and connect with her enough to call her 'mother'."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 11:01 pm**

"Still feeling things out," she says, "Seems I'm saying that a lot in my life these days."

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 11:13 pm**

"Think we don't need to worry about whether we work anymore though, aye?"

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2018 11:49 pm**

"No, I think we work pretty well," she says, tugging Sam into the hug with Vivienne.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 12:14 am**

"And what does not, we will figure it out together." She kissed Sam softly on the neck.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 12:21 am**

"And elsewhere, because I'm not testing your mum's hospitality by taking the celebration under her roof too far," she laughs.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 12:22 am**

"You're the Morrigan. What would she do to you?" Tereza teases. "But you're probably right. You said something about food and drink, Viv?"

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 1:28 am**

"If this is a basic standard Keep, the main Hall should be down the hall outside and down one flight of stairs." She said as she made for the door.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 1:35 am**

It was indeed down the hall and the stairs as she expected. The table were being laid with all sorts of things as the kitchen staff bustled around arranging things. A few noticed the three women and made respectful bows before going back to their work. Over near one of the fireplaces, Nimue and Leandra were having a quiet conversation of some sort.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 2:19 am**

"Oh dear, we have a meeting of the mums on our hands."

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 2:32 am**

"There's also a lot of food. Although we're fairly certain this isn't heaven, because I'm here," Tereza says with a chuckle.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 2:38 am**

"I doubt I would be welcome as well." She said despite her smile.

"The food would be safe, so feel free to indulge."

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 3:09 am**

"You don't have to tell me twice," Tereza says, picking something off one of the tables and beginning to munch on it.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 3:09 am**

At the main doors to the great hall, two men in iridescent armor step into the room. Leandra glances in their direction and says something to Nimue. Nimue nods and Leandra nods in turn to the men. They take up positions on either side of the main door, standing at a relaxed attention.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 4:44 pm**

Vivienne picked up a metal goblet of something and made her way over to her mother. "Expecting more trouble, Mother?"

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 4:52 pm**

"Of course not," Nimue says, "They're an honor guard."

"A show of good faith," Leandra adds.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 5:31 pm**

"Glad to hear. I would like to extend my apology to you Lady Leandra. I am deeply saddened and sorry for the pain and damage I caused to your daughter. In the moment I had forgotten the deep power Caledfwlch has against true fey." She bowed low.

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 5:35 pm**

"It was a risk she accepted," Leandra says, "she was committed to protecting you, even from yourself."

Posted: **Thu Jun 14, 2018 5:40 pm**

"What's going to happen to Gemma now?" Sam asks as she approaches.

"From talking to her, it sounded like her future was... more than a bit uncertain once Viv's quest was completed."

Xaviers!
