Shadows and Silence Part 3

## Episode 3 - The FeyWild West

After breakfast, Talia goes to the Airpike Library and finds the Researcher’s Respite in the book *The Known Life and History of Emperor Anthonius*. At Rivari's, Talia stops in for a few potions including an *Enlarge* potion. Meanwhile, Seline is searching for a midwife and dismisses any of the seven chapels of the Mother. She asks the Undertaker for guidance via her cards and they respond with the eight of swords inverted (open to new perspectives). Unsatisfied with a response she draws another Ace of Swords inverted (confusion), empress inverted (being blocked on something). Still not happy with the Undertaker's response, Seline makes her way to Mila Tolnor’s hospital. Seline finds out from the front desk, the hospital does not employ a midwife. She instead decides to wait for Doctor Tolnor. Seeing Seline with wings in the waiting room, Mila quickly ushers Seline into her office. Seline starts to ask questions about having children... For friend. Seeing through the ruse, Mila explains some things about childbirth and offers to make house calls. Seline also realizes that she will be ovulating around the time of the full moon and that she will have to convince Talia this is a good idea. On her way back, Seline stops in Airpike Militia One. Seline slips the receptionist some money for an "appointment." She quietly takes a seat with her wings out and shuffles her cards, occasionally glancing at one. People moving and working in the lobby stop to see who she's waiting for. After an half hour, a burley militia guy asks her to leave. An hour later at home, James comes in and explains to Talia what happened at militia headquarters. The burley militia guy is the great grandson-in-law of the Lord Mayor. Now that he is aware of Seline, some charges might get pinned on Seline later. Jareth arrived an hour late with a letter from school. It states Jareth received an hour of detention for missed homework and outlines the steps that will be taken if the behavior continues up to and including expulsion. Seline goes to talk to him about it in his room. Jareth explains that the literature class is boring and makes him do book reports on stuff he's not interested in. Seline says that he still has to do the class and that she will read to him. In the morning after helping Jareth with his makeup, Seline goes to check on Adrienne. Instead of stepping into Adrienne's art room Seline is instead in the realm of Pale Shadows. Adrienne explains that she saw Seline's Realm in the mirror. She sees nice things like bunnies and flowers but they're also not nice things.

Seline reassures Adrienne that she's safe here before meeting Talia in the kitchen. They talked about Adrienne's pictures and plan to speak to Talden in the future about her abilities. Seline and Talia decide to get another rabbit keep Reginald company. Stepping briefly into her realm, Seline is almost sure she saw a pile of blankets on the ground for an instant. Seline asks Reginald if he would prefer male or female company. Reginald asks for a strapping young lad to help divide the duties of being a courtier to the realm of Pale Shadows. After the last time, they got a rabbit, they decide to go to Katie's Menagerie as Finn and Lorelai and by a boy rabbit. Instead of walking back through Airpike to the park, Lorelai and Finn leave through the front door of the shop to the realm of Pale Shadows. Seline wills the bunny, Bartholomew, to be a citizen of her realm, protected, and able to speak. Seline introduces a now polka-dotted Bartholomew to Reginald. Seline wants to invite another fey lord over for tea. Reginald explains that an emissary can be sent and Bartholomew volunteers. Seline extends an invitation to Nicnevin in three sunsets mortal time for tea. Before they leave, Seline asks Reginald if he'd seen a redheaded little girl. He says he did not but if he does he would let her know when she comes back. Instead of returning to Airpike, Argent-Greys go to Villvale outside the old DMP station...
