Okay ONE more chapter.

People asked questions and the hilarity that popped into my head had to be written. The two that I first think of are both about Paw. How did Paw know about Koln wanting Souse? Easy. How does Paw get the toys? How do you THINK?

Maybe we'll get to see Essuan in action, considering how Mik is acting.

Read, Review and Enjoy (yes, now I'm going to pass out so... no more )





Paw slid into Koln’s office with Mik right behind him. The Sidhe pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and placed it on the man’s desk.

“Can Koln get Paw one of these?” The Sidhe asked.

Mik looked over Paw’s shoulder and turned a bright red colour. The image looked like a dildo, except at the opposite end of… the service end… was a suction cup. He didn’t want to know and yet was so very, very afraid that he would have intimate knowledge of how it worked before the week was out.

“No,” Koln responded calmly.

“Why not?” Paw sounded aghast.

“I told you in the strictest confidence-”

“But Koln not get boned if Souse not know that Koln want him!” Paw protested.

“I don’t need to get boned, Paw,” Koln snapped back, “And I thank you kindly to stay out of my business.”

“Wait. You told Paw that you wanted to get boned and expected it to stay between the two of you?” Mik asked, easing into one of Koln’s chairs, “Are you insane? That would never stay a secret. When it comes to sexual stuff, the Sidhe are all about free love, spread it around. Get you horny and boned and maybe you’ll be in a better mood, kind of thing.”

Koln shot Mik a killing look. Paw reached over and tapped the paper with a grin. The man snatched up the paper and glared at it, “what’s it called?”

“Wallbanger.”

“A…” Koln looked up at Paw, “what?”

“Wallbanger. Fuck Mik while he’s fucking me without involving Souse. Don’t think Mik’s going to jump to have Souse after what Paw told him.”

“And what Paw told Mik, made Mik hit Souse?” Koln murmured.

“Yes. But Paw likes fucking Mik while Mik fucks him,” Paw placed his hands on the desk and leaned towards Koln, “so. Unless Koln is going to volunteer, Paw would like that. That exact one.”

Koln looked down at the sheet, lips moving as he read something. When he looked at Mik, there was something there that might have been pity as he set the sheet of paper to the side and gave Paw a small nod.

“I’m not going to press charges.”

“I was hoping not,” Koln murmured.

“Crazy guy in the room said-”

“Souse doesn’t have a tattoo,” Koln responded calmly, “we… are trying to accommodate Visuit, he is, after all, signing the release papers that allow us to bring Sidhe across the border.”

“Oh. I kind of… brushed him off.”

“Paw threatened to rip out man’s tongue,” Paw slid into the seat beside Mik.

“Oh, lovely,” Koln muttered, “First,” the man paused as he pulled out a recording device and set it up, “You’ll have to excuse me, but I can’t seem to write fast enough for anything coming through Paw. What exactly did Paw tell you that made you hit Souse?”

Paw sighed, “no play for other Sidhe?”

“No, Paw, I won’t play it for the other Sidhe.”

Paw wrung his hands and related the tale to Koln. The man sat in startled silence as he listened and closed his eyes when Paw reached the part where Koln purchased them.

“Probably could have bought you for half that,” Koln muttered when Paw finished, “would have meant another thirteen Sidhe we could have purchased and saved.”

The Sidhe looked around nervously, “Mik got quiet. Paw went to sleep and Mik disappeared and Paw felt him leave. He go and hit Souse. Stupid thing to do. Then Edno hit Souse with frying pan and Souse think that Mik had Edno do it to claim dominance so Souse bit Mik.”

“And…” Koln leaned forward, setting his elbows on his desk, “how does Paw know that?”

Paw’s eyes narrowed as he lips scrunched up in a frustrated, annoyed expression, “Koln stupid if Koln no believe Paw. Go wake Souse and ask Souse.”

“Yes, and if I ask Souse about why Mik hit him, what will he say?”

Paw sank low in the chair and whined, head rolling back so that he could stare at the ceiling blankly. Mik sighed and shifted in his chair. He would have reached a hand over and given Paw a pat but Paw was on his right and that was the shoulder Souse had bitten.

“We can’t take him off the drugs for forty-eight hours. It’s a cool off period and we basically have to wean his system off of it least he become addicted to painkillers. It’s a rare possibility but not one we want to risk.”

“But. Souse very aware, just not moving,” Paw protested.

“Then,” Koln paused as he thought, “he can sit in silence and think about what he did. And when he comes out of it I will tell him exactly what has happened.”

“But then Paw will be in trouble,” Mik responded, “remember when-”

“He kills elderly people because they can’t breed and are therefore expendable and burns down an old time tree,” Koln muttered, “if Whisper won’t discipline his people, I will.”

“Maybe Whisper did it for a reason,” Paw muttered.

“Well does he have a problem with me punishing Souse?”

“Paw doesn’t know.”

Koln’s eyes narrowed as he considered the Sidhe for a long moment before turning towards Mik, “speaking of sedation, how did you get out of the medical ward?”

“I had Paw distract the nurses with his beautiful smile and snuck out,” Mik muttered, “I’m fine. It’s just a flesh wound. He didn’t mean to do damage or he would have gone for my throat.”

“Now you sound like Visuit.”

“Don’t ever put a stranger in my room again, Koln,” Mik muttered, “Especially after you sedate me. What am I supposed to do, guess what is going on?”

“You sound cranky, it’s a side effect of… well sedation and also BLOOD LOSS, you moron,” Koln snapped.

Paw giggled.

“Don’t you giggle, you’re in just as much trouble for breaking him out,” Koln snarled at the Sidhe.

“I’m fine.” Mik protested.

“I’m bringing Essuan in, is what I’m doing,” Koln growled, picking up the phone as both Mik and Paw sputtered, “And so help me if I hear one more word out of either of you, you will join Souse in time out.”
