This is Very Awkward (Grace) - Panther's Lair

She shook her head.

"No one. Only me. Jamie does nay know."

"Then why tell you... ?"

She shrugged.

"I threatened t' kidnap him. He tol' me o' ye're phone call, t' tell me why it be bad idea for him t' go anywhere."

She shook her head again.

"You know. Too many people know about this for my comfort."

She sighs.

"Wha' can I d'?"

She shook her head.

"Nothing, that I know of. Too many people know, which either makes me a liability or a valuable distraction. Either way, it's a mess."

She nodded.

"Least I ken now why I trust ye so much."

She smiled. Because she couldn't help it.

"It's because I'm so cute."

Yeah. It was a Griselda statement.

She laughed.

"Aye, tha' be exactly it. Twit."

She grinned. Then she started to laugh.

"Sorry. Couldn't help myself."

She chuckled.

"Aye, I know."

She leaned back and tilted her head.

"Soo... are we good?"

She nods.

"Aye, we're good. An' will work verra well t'gether."

She smiled.

"Doesn't matter the body, we always have."

She grins.

"Yes we have. And that's the last time I'll call ye tha' name. Promise."

She smiled, actually grinning at Grace more than smiling.

"It's Mihaela now."

She nodded.

"Aye. Now, tha's out in th' open. Things can go back t' th' way they were. Mostly."

Her brow quirked.

"Mostly?"

She nodded.

"Tis nay goin' t' go back exactly. Can't."

She nodded.

"I didn't actually expect it to. Just not sure what to expect, exactly, to be honest."

She shrugged.

"We'll see wha' happens."

She nodded slowly. Then she looked at Grace.

"I'm still worried about Ben. He's got his little thing where he's all interested in magical stuff, and magical woogie. I don't want to know where he is if you don't want to tell me, but at the very least, I'd like to send someone to make sure proper wards are put on his haven, things of that sort."

She nods.

"Yes, I think that would be good. He's currently in seclusion, and only I know where he be. But aye, wards on his haven be good."

She nodded.

"Do you want me to do it, or do you want me to get someone else? I can be all blindfolded and whatnot, if you think it's necessary."

She doesn't even hesitate.

"I be trustin' Family wi' Family."
