There actually be a history of twine?

[Hello. Have a very Irish red head looking at your tattoos curiously. He also has a grey kitten sitting on one shoulder... another peeking out of a pocket in his duster... and a mamma cat winding around his ankles.

He will also look very interesting magically speaking. First off there's a bond between him and momma cat and from her a weaker one to the kittens. There's definitely a fae curse over his head, a sprinkling of the Morrigan... and Brigid... and for good shakes we'll toss in a round of something shiny good old beskerer-heroic gleam that's very old.]

I think I saw a grilled cheese sandwich shop down that way though.

Yeah, dude. And I don't recommend it unless you want to lapse into a coma.

[He is veeeeery interesting. Redheaded and Irish, like her sensei, though seeing how Atticus is over 2,000 years old, he's adopted an American accent since he's been living in the US. But this guy... wow. She can't tell the exact trademarks of the Morrigan and Brigid's handiwork on him, just that there's old Druid magic all up on him, since the Tuatha Dé Danann are the original Druids. Basically, he's someone she should know about, but Atticus isn't here to tell her, so she'll have to fall back on good ol' paranoia and keep an eye out.]

Like a whole shop dedicated to grilled cheese? Okay, they seriously must have been pumping grilled cheese smells into that theater since that's exactly what I'm craving. Sneaky business practices, if you ask me. So anyway, who are your little friends here?

Maybe it's good for insomnia?

[He's straight from Cork and does't seem to care about changing his accent so people can understand what he's saying.]

Yeah. Fancy over priced grilled cheese sandwiches. But all sorts. Like grilled cheese with mozzarella sticks and grilled cheese with tomatoes on rye rosemary bread and grilled cheese and ham... Also some fancy chips.

Ah. Well, the grey one be Mayhem. This little black one here is Fluffy. And mamma is Veena.

[Veena wanders over to wind around Granuaile's ankles, purring hello. Fluffy Meeps and bats at Trever's hand when he tickles her head while Mayhem appears to be content to just give her that wide-eyed kitten stare of pure bewilderment of everything.]

I think I have to see this to believe it.

[There definitely has to be some trickery involved to get her craving grilled cheese like this. May as well take a look. But if the whole set up looks like a clever ruse to kidnap people and turn them into sandwiches, someone's getting their ass kicked.]

Well they're all adorable. I'm a pretty big cat person myself.

[She can't help smirking because, yeah, one of her animal forms is a black jaguar.]

Do they eat grilled cheese?

[People make lousy grilled cheese sandwiches. That's all Trever has to say on that matter.]

I'd be happy to show you.

[He gives her a bit of a bow gesturing, indicating she should proceed him.]

Thank you. [From Veena's sudden smugness it's clear she understood the compliment. She vanishes briefly... as in isn't there... and then appears on Trever's shoulder. This is not unusual according to Trever's expression.]

Only Mayhem, but he eats anything. Trouble tried one once and got sick. The others like peanut butter though.

Sure. Thanks.

[She flips on her faerie specs again, but the cat was too quick and has already reappeared. Still, that magic all over him is hard to decipher. Usually it's a spell to make a human into a puppet of the Tuatha Dé Danann so she's not sure if she should be trusting this guy. Luckily she's pretty confident in her fighting skills.]

Maybe there's peanut butter grilled cheese sandwiches there.

[Even if she had caught her teleporting she wouldn't have gotten anything. It's an odd ... well... no one in Trever's world has been able to figure out how she teleports either. She fritzes out technology when she goes so they can't get any sensor readings.

The knots about Trever are a rather like a geas as in they are a geas related to a curse. We wouldn't say puppet though (his family has happily flipped off some of the gods they're bound to) not that she'd know that. More like Old Fashioned Hero. Hound of Ulster and all that fun stuff.]

Ugh. No. That's disgusting beyond disgusting. [then...] But there might be.

[The Rolly polly grey kitten -Mayhem - vanishes and appears in her shirt right in her boobs. FREEEEEND? I CAN HAZ FREEEEND? he seems to ask with his big yellow eyes.]
