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?

"I don't know. It's difficult to say. We have to see what form she's taken to get a sense of her power. The more... unrealistic she is the more power she'll have and the more likely she'll be able to open the jar."

"Well, we should get moving, then."

"You're right." he stands up with a stretch, starts to walk... stops, remembers that he's not wearing anything but his pants and stalks off to the bedroom. About ten minutes later he comes back dressed in his armor.

"Shall we try this again?"

"Yes." Nick stands up and stretches as well. "Let's."

"If I were a Sue... where would I be... Probably at your camp. Come on then." he grabs Nick by the arm and walks out and into the midst of Hedge's camp.

Nick looks around, not-exactly-happy memories coming back. "Of course it would be here."

"This is where the power is, after all," he glances up and around. "She's probably with someone of power. Hedge most likely." He gives a scowl.

"Hedge's tent is that way." He points.

"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."
