Alexander stood in front of his increasingly organized book shelves in the main room with the sudden dawning realization that he had no idea where anything was any more. Before he never knew where anything was, but he had some vague notion as to where to look. Now he had no vague notion nor any idea where to look. It was rather vexing. Part of him wanted to go through the shelves and unorganize them, but he stopped himself. Nick had been working hard on the books and it wouldn't be fair to the boy to undo all his work.

Especially since he set the boy on the task in the first place.

Who knew that getting organized would be so frustrating?

"You... keep behind me. I won't let him hurt you. But still, keep behind me," he says before starting his way to the tent.

Nick nods enthusiastically and stays behind him.

Hedge is not at the tent. Instead there was a gorgeous teenaged girl with wavey reddish brown hair that fell to her back and large intelligent eyes the color of saphirres. She was wearing a dress with a low bodice and a bandolier of bells across her very full bust.

"Nick!" she cried happily, bouncing up and throwing her arms around him, "You've returned! I've been so worried about you!"

Nick hugs back enthusiastically. "Serenitiel! I've missed you so much!"

"Where have you been? Father's been in an uproar since you've left. He's been positively untolerable." She snuggled against him.

"I've been... busy." Nick nods and plays with her beautiful hair.

"It was heart-wrenching to be away for so long, I'm sorry!"

"Okay now, that's enough with that," Alexander said looking very annoyed. He put a possesive hand on Nick and glowered at the girl.

She blinked up at him, "A free magic creature! Where did you find him Nick?"

"He's not..." Nick blinks a few times.

"All right, who are you and what did you do to my mind?"

"It's me! Serenitiel! I didn't do anything to your mind. Are you feeling well? I'll go get my father, you just wait here." she ran off before Alexander could do or say anything.

"Damn it all. Well, she's gone, let's give a looksie for the jar. Get the jar then get the girl."

"Right. That was embarrassing." Nick starts looking.

Alexander starts looking as well. "No, that was a Sue. I will have to tell you about them some time, when we're not in so much danger. She'll be coming back with Hedge too."

Nick rifles through a chest. "Bugger."

"So not in the mood to face Hedge and a Sue." he grumbles, tossing clothes that clearly belong to the Sue to the side.

"Me either. Possibly less." Nick looks in another box.

"Where did she put it. It's arou... unless she gave it to daddy dearest..." oh that's a bad thought.

Oh, look, time for Nick to use a newly-learned swearword. "Fuck."

Alexander swears creatively. "She's coming back, with daddy in tow."

Nick ducks behind Alexander. Call him scared- he is.

"...free magical creature with him. Very powerful! I think it's effecting his mind," Serenitiel said tugging on Hedge's arm, trying to get him to come faster.

Alexander stood protectively in front of Nick, sword drawn.

"I'll have to do something about it." There's a very faint chime, like bells being drawn, and Hedge comes through the door of the tent.

"Hello again. We just keep on running into each other don't we?" Alexander said with mock cheerfulness. His eyes were watching both Hedge and Serenitiel (who had come in behind her "father") wairly.

"So we do." Hedge growls and swings Saraneth, concentrating on Alexander- hey, maybe it'll work this time.

Nick just stays undercover.

Sues are fantastic things, especially when it comes to making things go their own way. This one was rather powerful and she lent her power to daddy and his bell. The result of this was that Alexander found himself fighting against becoming a free-magic creature and being bound by the bell, because that's what the Sue wanted him to be.

"Gnnn.."

Hedge smirks at Alexander's struggle, pulling out Ranna as well.

Nick frowns. "Alexander, what's wrong?"

Serenitiel slipped over to Nick, putting her hand on his arm, tugging at him, "Daddy's just getting him under control. They're dangerous," she said sweetly before glaring at Alexander.
