Dio shrugs
"I was not in a real position to ask too many questions. I only heard she was after something on the mountaintop, and we had to prevent her from getting it."
Again, a slight shrug snuggling closer to Dirk as she recalled the battle.
"I fought a lot of demons. Kept Sir Hammett from being attacked in the back. And later pulled Dalt up from the mountainside as he was tossed like a ragdoll. Then he and i fought back to back, wading our way through the demons. They were very confused as to why i fought them. Or a Logrus wielder. "
She thinks for a bit and then nods.
"Ah, yes, the two people on a higher ledge. One was a ghostly form he had a golden glow about him. At a point, he opened a way, a gate or something, and a man passed through. Red hair. Hmmm green clothing, i think. That is all i recall. It was hectic, chaotic, and bloody."
She looks at Maeve.
"Could that be useful information as well for Regent Flora and to gain favor? I know the two men saw me at least in demon form as i spoke to them."

"Lot of Demons. Do you know what Lady Vada should not get?"
When Dio mentions the red haired man Maeve looks at Dio for a moment and frowns. "You said red hair and green clothing." She shakes her and head murmurs. "Can not be, is not possible, just imagination."
There seem to be a nagging thought she does no get ride of and finally she continues.
"You met Prince Bleys on Princess Flora's Party and Lord Rinaldo? Now Imagine Bleys in green clothing and without beard and with green eyes, and also imagine Rinaldo. Did this red haired man looked like Prince Bleys or Lord Rinaldo?"

Dirk starts to growl. "Fucking redheads." He curls up and growls deeper.

Maeve looks at Dirk. "Did your Father ever showed you the trumps of Oberon's Sons and Daughters? The one from Brand. He looked a lot like his older brother Bleys."
"But that can not be, right?"

If the bastard isn't dead, I am going to kill someone. I SWEAR TO THE UNICORN THAT I DONT BELIEVE IN THAT SOMEONE'S GOING TO DIE IF THEY ARENT ALREADY DEAD!" Dirk then buries his head into Dio's lap.

Dio protectively holds Dirk's head softly, caressing his fur. She thinks for a moment.
"Well, like i said, it was a big chaos in the fight, and i only spoke briefly. Not to mention being covered in demon blood from head to toe.
But he looked like Rinaldo. The Rinaldo i've seen at the party. But I can't be fully sure. "
Dio sighs, sounding tired.
"A lot has happened between me leaving the convent, that fight, and being here."

Maeve relaxes and nods. "Hmm this cousin gets around. If someone ever mets Rinaldo in a talking mood, this other guy would be interesting to know too."
"Sorry Dirk to upset you. Rinaldo is of course logical." Maeve seems to have no problem with handing out an excuse to someone she seems to like.
"Now let us cast bad thoughts aside. And go back to topic. It is your decision Dio."
"Sea side and Dirk tries to pick you up. Or Land side through Arden. Do you know in which shadow you are in the moment?"

Dio tries to calm Dirk down as well.
She seems a bit shocked at the intense reaction. But then again, Dirk might have good reason to hate.
Looking at Maeve, she thinks.
"It is a shadow where an entrance to Wormwood is. It is currently closed, Wormwood, not the shadow. I do not know where it is in relation to Amber or Chaos. That is why i think it's smart for me to travel by land. I can slowly but surely pull myself through shadow.
It might take a bit. I have no way to contact you both besides dreams, which is not as reliable."

"My father was killed because he killed Brand. And if Brand isn't dead then my father died for nothing. "
Instead of anger there is a lot of stuffed emotions and coldness. Dirk sighs and leans all his weight against Dio for comfort.

Maeve gets down to Dirks side, she hesitates for moment seemingly unsure if she should touch him, but then softly scratches him behind his cat ears, in a way she knows cat likes it.
She smiles shortly sad at him but says nothing.
Then she says to Dio."Dio, if someone stops you from entering Amber, give what you know only to the Regent. And if Dirk is okay with it, ask for Dirk to pick you up and bring you to the Castle. You can claim the truth, that you have met him in the Courts."

Dio nuzzles in Dirk's fur.
"So sorry that is horrible."
She looks at Maeve, a soft smile she nods.
"Yes. Information only for the regent. And ask for Dirk. "
She chuckles soft
"Surprisingly, i speak often the truth. I have not lied or felt the need for it. So with this too, I will speak the truth "

Dirk is comforted and relaxed. "I still don't want Rinaldo dead. Just Brand to stay dead. I am just tired of being charming and calm when I want to break stuff."
Dirk does a cat sploot and purrs loudly to calm himself.
Ooc Sploot is slang for the pose an animal, especially dogs, cats, and other four-legged pets, makes when it lies on its stomach with its hind legs stretched out back and flat.

((Would also be adorable if Dirk did a cat-flop))
"I can not guarantee anyone's demise. Or state of expiring. But i can be there for you to cuddle.
Although... i have slaughtered enemies with the Logrus pulling them down to certain doom."
She keeps softly petting Dirk. Speaking in a calm voice.
"When i wake up i'll start my journey to Arden. I'll get as close as i can."

[OOC no cat-flop for male cat]
Maeve pulls her legs toward her and warps her arms around her knees, looking at Dio and Dirk.
"A feather and a coconut. Who is going to tell the story?"

Dirk starts to talk, "Once upon a time a while ago, I was delivering wine to Lord Suhey and was guiding workers. I spied a beautiful young woman who was shy and quiet. I shifted into my cat form and she started to hug me and we became friends. She shifted into a beautiful tall white bird and gave me a feather to remember her by, a feather that I keep in a special display box. I offered her a flask that holds rum. It is a coconut but for reasons she could not keep it at the time. So I have kept it for her. When we meet again I will return it to her."
He sighs and starts to relax a bit as he tells the story. "Her token to me of what I assumed was affection rests in the display box next to my token of affection for her."
