Kiko's jaw dropped. It NEVER occurred to her that Kendra seemed somewhat warm and also Kendra was drinking a sports drink now which ghouls should find repulsive. In addition, Kendra was eating less 'meat' and more of her human toppings and garnishes over the weeks. She just thought Kendra was just adjusting her tolerance level to standard human food to be or seem more 'normal'.

Bo was about to say something but Kiko pulled Kendra in close and felt her forehead like she was sick, "So… so she's fully human?"

Lauren just nerded out at first but stopped herself when she got confused looks, "I.. I MEAN that Kendra is BOTH human and ghoul but neither, this is a miracle of science, BUT her human readings like her heart rate began to drop as soon as all of you started to bicker."

Bo nodded but quickly asked, "So you mean that we have to work this out like adults?"

Lauren hypothesized, "Well … I think ….." It was then she sat down next to Kendra and leaned in and carefully asked her, "Did you ever feel your heart beating after you became a ghoul? Li.. like a flutter in your chest cavity?"

Kendra was still catching up but after some thought mentioned, "When I told Kiko that I … I loved her, I felt it then but it was a fluke I thought.. and I can't feel it now."

This confirmed Lauren's theory but patted her knee, "you can't feel it now since it's been beating rhythmically and you were just use to it."

This shocked Dyson. If this were so, then Kiko was the one Kendra truly loved and not him.

Lauren then announced to all, "Kendra cares about ALL of you, her respiration and hear rate, and blood pressure are effected by the way we treat one another. Alicia, you may not think so but you do."

Kendra then admitted to Alicia and Dyson, "I want both of you to be happy. Not for my own selfish reasons, but I think all of us deserve it no matter our past."

Bo nodded and smiled broadly, "So love one another in the most general sense and if there is room, a relationship can be open. Lauren? Is Kendra's condition permanent or will she be this way from now on?"

Kendra was going to ask the same thing but Bo beat her to the punch.

Lauren just shrugged, "I don't know Bo. Like the Valkyrie bond, there's very little about Kendra's condition. For now, the least you fight amongst one another the better. I'll allow for Kendra's vitals to equilibrate and stabilize over time."

It was then Kendra asked, "But I feel like I have my Fae power still."

"You have both. You can eat and drink human food to feed your human side, and I'd keep that up so long as you can tolerate it. Just eat and drink slowly, Also feed when you feel the urge in the ghoul sense. Both human and the Fae part of you are intertwined I believe." Lauren offered. "Just make sure your keep up your regular checkups with your Fae doctor as well."

Kiko hugged Kendra and threw caution to the wind. She NEVER allowed herself to be vulnerable in front of anyone except Kendra but murmured, "Hey, I love you Kennie. I'm ok with wherever this relationship takes us."

It was then Kendra found their lips met and that kiss made her heat flutter again. It was a kiss of true love. Kendra finally asked out of breath, "That's not fair to you."

"And nor is it to Eric, but … but," Kiko glanced at Dyson who knew he was in the hot seat and Alicia look on like a hawk. "I need you to find a path with Dyson. It's unfair of me to just snatch you away from him. He… he made it possible for me to hold you now. See this one through ok? I'll be here for you."

There was a tense moment of silence which engulfed the room but Kiko took this head on and address Alicia, "I know when I found you on the trail you were in a state of flux. You're a good person and I'm here for you too. As for Bo's recommendation for Kennie to hike the trail with you, I'm ok with that, if Kendra agrees too."

Dyson added, "You know I care about you Kendra. I'm sure Kiko and I will be a great team." He didn't know that for sure but they worked ok in the past briefly.

Alicia was mum but Bo sat gingerly next to her and asked, "Is there anything you want? You don't have to the feel like you are the odd person out or a losing party."

Alicia looked down and had lots of conflicting emotions. Hate for Kendra taking Dyson was one of them, but a the same time she had no right to. She was the one that asked for the break after all.

The fomer cop saw this and addressed the elephant in the room, "If you want me out of your relationship, I'll do it." Kennie switched to softer tone almost pleading, "Just don't make Dyson pay for this. I seduced him a good part of the way in order to work with him and it was wrong of me. What you have, I respect."

Dyson was about to object when Alicia snapped her glance at Kendra and nearly demanded controlling how upset she was, "I'd like to speak with you ALONE while I still can. How long does this spell last?"

Tasmin in the back of the room answered, "Another hour or so."

Kendra got up and offered, "Upstairs in a booth?"

Alica stiffly followed behind Kendra and up the stairs they went past Arin and Taffany who looked like they were saying sweet nothing to one another. At least they were fully clothed.

Bo was finally able to deal with something she'd been putting off for a long long time and turned to Lauren who was packing up her gear. The only way out now was through.

It was readily apparent she wasn't a thrall at all and medically found a way to lift it but from what Tamsin relayed, she still needed shots for this at regular intervals. First thing was first, she needed to unthrall Lauren so that there was no handicap whatsoever. She didn't think so, but Lauren's last wish before she bled to death was to be unthralled last time. By then swapping blood however, there needed to be a ritual performed which required a regular human.

Bo kept observing Lauren when Lauren probably knowing that Bo was staring at her glanced back. In that moment Bo saw and read Lauren just fine. Lauren hated her and was at least cordial and smirked, "I hope Kendra can get transferred to another doctor or at least get regular checkups on the trail."

Bo put on a tight smile to disarm Lauren and nodded with a humm "uh huh." The succubus was stuck at what to say to her for once.

'Tamsin. Do you TRUST Lauren with you LIFE?'

'Bo, I…. I don't know. I keep thinking about the times Lauren and I spent together and the more I think about it, not only could she have killed me or gotten any type of revenge she wanted. She's ….. ugggg…. Not all bad. I think we're friends….. I think… ummmm maybe a little more. GOD this is fucked up. Then all the fucking pain from trying to break the bond, I hate her for it still.'

'Would you give her a chance after the time she poisoned me to make me love her and thereby torturing you every time that I said I loved her? It really bothers me til this day.'

'She did hurt me, but, I can forgive her, in time. Besides you're all mine now.' Tamsin clicked verbally but used the link shifting her stance watching everyone disperse. Truth be told, Tamsin STILL had a bone to pick with Lauren, but airing that to Bo would may further incite her to be more vengeful. I wasn't that Lauren didn't deserve what was coming her way, it was more to protect Bo. Bo was so fracking sunstable when it came to Lauren now that all she could safely do was to avoid her. It was that bad. Therefore, Tamsin plotted, it was easier to not add fuel to the fire since it was already a blazing inferno for Bo.

'I can't,' Bo thought to herself but didn't want to burden her love with it. Lauren was her lover and now adversary. While she was thankful that Lauren could still help out the family, Bo didn't know if she was even part of it at this point. Bo got tons of flack about thralling Lauren, especially from Trick, but Bo reassured him it was temporary and that it was necessary at least until Evony was done with.

She then reached out to Tamsin, 'I'll be chatting to Lauren in Trick's side study If ANYTHING goes wrong, KILL Lauren ok?'

Tamsin knew her Bo needed a hug and briskly strode up to her, helped her up from the table she was sitting on and brought her into a kiss and tight embrace. This made Bo rip her eyes away from the doctor and as a result would casue Bo to focus on something else. Bo was still damaged by Lauren's callus actions and was still dealing with it. 'Nothing will go wrong Bo,' Tamsin relayed in the kiss as Bo's tongue mad it past Tamsin's lips. That was such a great advantage of the link, they could converse and still kiss.

'Oh god Tamsin. Tell me more'

'We'll get through this, ok succubus?'

Bo yanked her Valkyie into her closer by her waist band, 'Thanks. I'll get past this.'

Tamsin felt Bo finger tracing the inside on her pants then flicking the elastic of her underwear further down. She growled. 'You've gotta one track mind succubus. All you think about is getting my clothing off and feeding… well let's just call a spade a spade.. you just want massive sex.'

'No I don't, I'm thinking about cooking you a good Norse dinner later.'

Tamsin held in a laugh. It was admirable that Bo tried to cook her type of comfort food, but was kind of far off, but at least she tried. It then came to Tamsin who quickly responded, 'To get my clothing to come off. CONFESS Succu-slut' Tamsin sparred smirking in the deep kiss.

'Ummmmmm'

Tamsin then abused the link and saw Bo's day dreams. She was on the bar buck naked with chocolate syrup all over her in the crack shack with her bonded partner between her legs cleaning it up voraciously with her tongue and supple lips.

Two could play at that game when Bo reached into Tamsin's mind and found out that Tamsin LOVED it and it was turning her on but all good things had to come to an end.

Lauren observed the lovely couple and she knew Bo was probably using the link for Tamsin. Wait or leave? It was time to leave but before she could do so Bo twirled around grabbed her hand mid stride and hastily pulled her into the small study. "We need to talk Lauren."

"Ummm ok" Lauren felt like Bo was leading her like a lamb to the slaughter. Tamsin glared at her and Lauren knew Tamsin was ready to kick her ass on Bo's command. At this rate, she'd have to fall in line. Bo had a beef with her first.
