Makoda watched the newcomer study both Vivian and herself with insolence. Hearing Vivian’s words, she just gave a slight one shouldered shrug to acknowledge that she’d heard her. She caught that Vivian pulled Trickster into her lap as she spoke, and Trickster struggled but a heartbeat before suddenly settling quite calmly in her lap, as if he too sensed the distress in the Pixie at the newcomer and decided he would tolerate being held thusly, for now.<br/><br/>She watched quietly at the exchange between the two as it escalated. She flinched slightly when Trickster gave a yip of surprise at suddenly being dumped by the Pixie as she rushed over to the man and got into his face, all before Makoda could even reply to the man’s greeting. Her head turned slightly as the Vampire suddenly spoke asking after someone, who apparently was in charge of the place, but she quickly brought her attention back to the Pixie and the man.<br/><br/>Shadows started enveloping the two as they became physical in their confrontation. It only momentarily blinded Makoda as she adjusted her True Sight. About the time she figured perhaps maybe she should intervene the choice was taken from her.<br/><br/>Trickster too had watched intently the confrontation between the Dark One and the Fey Child. He’d been a bit caught off guard as he was about to extend some protection to the Fey Child and she suddenly jumped up to approach the Dark One. Finally, having enough of all the Magicks being wielded so wildly and irresponsible, he moved before Makoda could make up her mind on the matter.<br/><br/>Crouching low, he suddenly shot forward in two mighty bounds and bowled into the Fey Child with more force than he really should have used since she stumbled and seemed to be having troubles with balance. But then again, it completely dislodged her from the Dark One’s reach and sent them tumbling a few feet away. Scrambling quickly, he proceeded to plop himself down on her prone form and make himself at home. He also made himself heavier so she was unable to wiggle out from under him with any ease. He stared at the Dark One as expressionless as Makoda could be on her worst day, though his eyes said,<em>’Enough of this foolishness.’</em><br/><br/>Makoda took Trickster’s moves as an opportunity herself to rise up and walk over to the man. She entered the shadowy bubble and looked at him. She appeared relaxed and unconcerned with their closeness. “I thank ye for the Welcome. Seems you have better manners than the Proprietor of this place.” She paused for a moment before continuing. “Tell me, if it will not harm ye, what demons have you stolen your Magicks from?”<br/><br/>Watching Makoda move to the Dark One, Trickster gave an almost resigned sounding sigh. That Child, always curious. Sometimes…. Knowing Makoda could more than handle herself, even if he preferred she wouldn’t sometimes, Trickster finally turned his attentions to the Fey Child. He let his tongue hang out and took a coyote grin as his expression before starting to lick her once more. He started to exude a tranquil aura around the both of them in hopes of calming the Fey Child down enough to be sensible.<br/>
