[Open] Well done, daughter, oh bravely done (Daytime, Oct 1)

[defy_the_stars]

From all that Liadan has heard, there has been plenty of upheaval within London's supernatural community. It's almost enough for her to wonder if this was the best place for her and Johnny to come, but what is done is done. Besides, Bran will be able to see them easier here than even back in Sevenwaters.

At least she already knows where Hillingdon House is, after Faolan showed it to her before. She headed up to the doorstep, Johnny beside her. "This is where Daddy's friends work," she told him. "Hopefully one of them will be able to help us decide where we should live." She had booked their hotel room for a week, hoping that would be enough time to find a suitable apartment.

She knocked on the door firmly three times, then waited. Hopefully, someone was here today.

Faolan can't help raising his eyebrows at her at the suggestion that she might be moving to London. Bran of course has done a lot of work in and around the area as of late, but he knows how the man tends to travel.

"Moving to London?" he asks. "Not that I'm against the idea, and I welcome a fellow Irishman to the city, but. Something tells me that you're not exactly a city dweller."

Liadan laughs. "Is it that obvious?" She supposes that she shouldn't be that surprised, given that he knows at least in general where she lives and how remote it is.

"It isn't entirely by choice," she says finally. "There were some problems with a local fae who was far too interested in my son."

Faolan quirks an eyebrow in response to her question, as if to say yes, it is a bit obvious. To someone like him who knows how to read a person, at least. And he knows Bran as well, and knows the man's affinity for privacy for that matter. Putting two and two together...

Well, it makes sense that it wasn't her choice. Though he frowns in response to the idea of it. Lancelot had been stolen by the fae at a young age himself, and he knows all too well how that had worked out for the man personally. "I'm sorry," he says. "Have those problems managed to stay local, then?" Is she in any trouble now?

"So far, yes. The Lady of the Forest is, thankfully, quite attached to said forest." She tops and sighs, feeling a slight wave of homesickness. "There are some good things, about being here. Bran believes he might be able to visit more frequently, since work brings the Painted Men to this area often enough. But it isn't quite what I had intended for Johnny."

She looks over at her son, who is watching her and Faolan closely. When he notices that she's watching, he looks away.
