By the Pricking of my Thumb

1.(This is backdated to the claim between the 5th and the 12th) for anyone who still wants to play anything out)  Mab's footsteps echoed through the evening air in Lewisham, her eyes scanning for any signs of trouble. For the most part there had been little resistance.  Many of the creatures here were already just scraping by to survive, though she'd had a few run in's that had been … trying.  Heiji had made a convenient list of possible problems and timelines for the commerce and traffic flows, as well as criminals and such. She was currently on her way toward one of these.  A small gang of outcast fae who could cause problems for her.  

2. There is a large gate open in Lewisham on the outskirts of Forest Hills.  Mab enlisted another fae to put a 'don't look here' spell on the entrance to keep regular humans from just wandering in but those who had been involved in the territory claim earlier that month both fae and non-fae could easily pass between the two trees marked with what seemed to be a snowflake symbol glistening on the trunks.  If a few humans made it in they'd probably survive.  On the Other Side, stepping just out of the trees there is a small hill on which stands a manor that glistens in the evening sunlight, and even while it's still light, the colors of the aurora borealis drift across the frozen surface of the building.  A short walk up the hill will bring you to a door that doesn't <i>appear</i> to be guarded though if anyone comes armed for bear, a yeti will show up to take care of the issue.  The door is merely an opening in the side of the manor and inside reveals a large entry hall and double staircases that wind up to a second floor balcony with doors and hallways.  Off to the right is the ballroom and the sound of a small ensemble rings out through the door and flashes of cool colors add to the festive feel as the glow of the house continues inside. 

To the left is a sitting room with drinks and finger foods and walking through the sitting room will bring you to a formal dining room which has full meals available if need be.  Servants move all along the bottom floor between the rooms with drinks and hors d'oeuvres.  

3. Anything I've missed

He could talk about being old as much as he wanted, look how decrepit he was. "Arctis Minora? What a charming name. But yes, I'd be happy to examine your texts for you. Research is one of my specialties, even if doors to the Other Realm or not."

And besides, it might be good to take the air once in a while. "When would be most convenient for you, then?"

"I see. As for myself, a doctor is always busy. However, I usually reserve my weekends and evenings for... personal research."

What sort of mischief would a fae need to clear their schedule for, he wondered. "I've given you my card already, haven't I?"

It was so difficult for him to remember sometimes...

He shook his head. "No, that's all. Good afternoon, Ms. Sommerset."

And with that he'd leave her to her devices, however terrible they might be. Scruples, what were those?
