[heatherandsteel]

The door opens again to Quentin who quickly disguise himself in a magical scent of heather and steel as he curses, "Maeve's tits, your timing is awful."

There are scratches on his cheek and hands, he and Raj were sparring in Goldengreen when Toby and the Duke entered. He had been meaning to get ready to head back to Shadowed Hills, not here. That's why he's grumbling as he heads towards the counter, as long as he's here, he can wash his face.

Tiny tag: Quentin (October Daye)

"Maeve's tits?" Michael repeats, eyebrows raised. "That's a new one."

The Maeve of his world... would probably quite like it, actually.

[heatherandsteel]

He turns to see who's commenting and realizes that wasn't the wisest thing to say here, "I heard it from someone."

[onceholyknight]

"Be careful where you say it", he advises seriously. "Here, it's safe, but if you got the attention of my world's Maeve..."

He's met her. He has no particular desire to do so again.

[heatherandsteel]

Quentin stares as he tries to process that, he only knows of one person who knows Maeve and even that was long ago.

[onceholyknight]

"Probably different worlds", he qualifies. "The Fae are still very much a presence in mine, if you know about the supernatural side of things."

[heatherandsteel]

"Oh, they don't seem to be in a lot of worlds here,"

He stands up straighter as he realizes its another world. Which is good because no one suspects him but also disconcerting.

[onceholyknight]

He nods. "Or at least not known."

[heatherandsteel]

"Most supernatural creatures tend to be safer when they're hidden. At least that's how it is in all the books I've read."

[onceholyknight]

"In my world, going public about it would be considered the nuclear option. A very last resort."

[heatherandsteel]

"Do you know any of them?" The way he phrased that, it seems like he might.

[onceholyknight]

"We've met. I have as few dealings with them as possible."

It's not that he dislikes them, exactly, but they can't be trusted.

[heatherandsteel]

"Why? I mean if they're in hiding, why do you come into contact with them?"

Clearly he doesn't really want to but he does.

[onceholyknight]

"They're not exactly in hiding, they live in their own dimension and sometimes come into ours. Occasionally, when I was in that line of work, I used to catch one of their... less bright... individuals hurting humans. Or sometimes I had reason to meet with one or other of the queens."

...He's gonna have to remember that cuss to share with Shepherd later.

"You look like you tried to give an angry cat a bath..." Tyler observes quietly, "Izzat why you're swearing by somebody's bodyparts?"

[heatherandsteel]

The thought of giving Raj a bath makes the tips of Quentin's ears go red,

"No, I wasn't trying to give him a bath. I think that would have ended worse."

[basic_powers]

Tyler just looks Quentin over a moment, while pondering just what this guy could've been doing to end up fighting with a cat.

Ofcourse, he can't really rule out the cat being sapient and capable of math.

"...soo.. how come you have those scratches?"

[heatherandsteel]

"Because he's a cat and felt like scratching me,"

In reality, they were sparring but there's no way to explain that to anyone human.

[basic_powers]

...Yeah, okay. Sometimes Winston feels like getting a bit nippy with Tyler sometimes. "Hope he's a happier cat now and not in too much trouble for it."

"Hi, I'm Tyler, thanks for giving me some new swear words to try out." He's just going to put out his hand to shake. It's not really about the swear words, but he was kinda rude just now to this guy.

[heatherandsteel]

"That depends. I don't know how much trouble we're in yet. I'm Quentin and use them well. If I used that one, I'd get in trouble,"

Even though its a really good curse and he offers Tyler his hand with a smile.

[basic_powers]

We're in yet? Oh there's something a bit fishy about that line, no doubt about it.

"...you wanna learn one that prolly won't get you in trouble?"

[heatherandsteel]

"Of course, good curses are useful," And they make Toby and the Luidaeg laugh.

[basic_powers]

"This one's Finnish, I learned it from Uncle Adrian. Kilinvittu."

Adrian might have some issues with the kid teaching other people this kind of language. Hell, Aunt Romana might break out the soapbar if she ever catches Tyler using it around her.

[heatherandsteel]

"What does it mean?" Quentin tries it a few times to makes sure he has it right.

[basic_powers]

Tyler's just going to peer about to make sure his uncle and aunt are not ANYWHERE nearby.

"Cunt of a virgin goat."

[heatherandsteel]

"Oh, that's impressive. Why do you know it?" He seems young for that level of cursing.
