"Wait, how can you be that strong in magic? Mother said it either takes a very good magic user* or a very old, high classed fey* to have that kind of power to enable a person to go out of bounds of forced magical bindings." Angela asked, eyes scrunching in curiosity about this little dilemma. Demona was very clear with Angela that it took a special type of mortal to learn magic, and a decently old fey to have the kind of power Roe was using so casually at the moment. Demona was clear that one usually couldn't override someone else's magic without at least four years of full on training. She also admitted, even after a thousand years, she herself was still learning the ins and outs of magic, that it was an ongoing learning process.
"I honestly don't know. When I was eight, I didn't go around asking questions about magic. My village is very superstitious about that sort of thing, almost like the Salem witch thingy. The only thing Mamma ever told us about our Fey side was what type Fey we were." Roe replied. Before anymore questions could be asked, the other males, and Elisa, found them, finally having enough of their disappearing act. The females, and Owen and Lex, greeted the other half of the clan easily. Goliath looked over at Loittie, and he looked concerned, so did her mate Rome.
"What happened to Loittie?" Rome asked rather panicked, and scurried over to his frozen mate.
"She insulted Roe again and Owen froze her with his magic. If Roe's in danger, Owen's aloud to use his magic," Sarah summarized quickly. Rome looked surprised and frowned. He wanted to be angry, he really did, but he also knew his mate and how jealous she could be when she thought someone had more then her.
"Sorry about this Roe, gods above I don't know what's wrong with her," Rome said, apologizing for his mate, yet again.
"It's not your fault, but thank you anyway Rome." Roe replied rather calmly. Lex, meanwhile, was contemplating something in his head, like usual. Well, more like trying to remember something that was on the tip of his tongue that he couldn't quit catch.
"Roe, what kind of fey are you again? I seemed to have forgotten." Lex asked, looking up at the half gargoyle. Roe looked at him, slightly startled at the change of topic. Lex hugged him, arms tightening around Roe's slender waist. Roe hugged back, loving the psychical attention being provided. Owen frowned ever so slightly at the psychical attention Lexington was giving Roe, but let it go.
"I'm half Sidhe*," Roe replied smiling, soft girlish voice tinkling slightly.
"We already knew you were half 'she'" Brooklyn joked out with a hearty chuckle. The others let out snickers of their own, feeling the truth behind Brooklyn's words. Roe let out a huff, lips forming a pout.
"Not she as in 's-h-e' Sidhe, as in 's-i-d-h-e'" Roe said, his pout deepening rather cutely. Brooklyn's eye's got this slightly understanding look in them.
"Gotcha, some kind of freaky fey spelling and pronunciation," Brooklyn said, still grinning. Roe rolled his eye, and looked over towards Owen and was surprised
by the shocked look on his pale face.
"Owen, what's wrong?" Roe asked the blond, a look of concern on his youthful face.
"Your Sidhe?" Owen asked back, recovering enough to ask quietly.
"Yes, is that a bad thing?" Roe asked, seeing the nothing wrong or odd about the situation.
"I'm a hob goblin," Owen replied, slightly desperate, trying to get Roe to understand. Roe lifted an eyebrow ridge in confusion.
"I know, and your perfect," Roe said happily, one hand going out to the elder fey to touch him.
"You're slumming it with me," Owen said getting frustrated with the whole situation. The others watched the exchange, rather confused with the whole thing, Lex seemed to be getting it though.
"'Slumming it'? I don't get it," Roe said, not getting either the term, or what Owen was talking about. He turned to Lex for an explanation, like he always did when he needed a 'translator.'
"What he's trying to say is, that Sidhe are a very high class fey on the Seelie court side. You are going below your standards in choosing him as a mate, basically," Lex replied. He'd been too to many of Alex's training sessions not to have picked up the history lessons that went along with it. Roe's smile disappeared as it went into a frown.
"Well, that's ridiculous, Fay's are so silly, don't you think?" Roe said with a giggle. His voice was soft and girlish, like it always was when he was around Owen. He only used his male voice when he was solely around the others, thinking that Owen would like him better if he was girlie, though Roe himself detested his girlie form.
"You don't know anything about the fey culture, do you?" Owen asked, amazed that Roe didn't know. Fox, he understood because she grew up in a culture that would have done her more harm then good if they had found out, but not his precious Roe.
"Nope, the only thing that I know is that there are three courts. The Seelie, the Unseelie and the Avalon court." Roe replied. Owen closed his eyes, and to the surprise of everybody present, let loose a groan of displeasure.
"How could you not know this information?" Owen asked calmly, blue eyes again open. Roe frowned at the trickster, thinking that his lover would have remembered.
"I was raised with humans since I was eight, remember? 'Sides, if my parents would have lived, they wouldn't have known either, considering that they were raised the gargoyle way." Roe replied as calmly as he could, though he was getting rather emotional. Though it was rather obvious he was upset, considering his accent always thickened when he was upset. Owen's eyes widened as he remembered that little tidbit of his lover.
"I apologize Roe, I truly did forget." Owen replied, rather distressed at the thought of hurting Roe. Roe nodded his forgiveness, rather easily. He loved Owen to much and was much to scared that Owen would choose someone smarter to stay angry at him for long.
"Smooth," Broadway said, teasingly. Angela let loose a giggle while Brooklyn smirked. Goliath and Elisa shook their heads, but other wise said nothing to Owen's antics.
"Oh, I got to get the rookery ready," Roe said suddenly, surprising every one and then he proceeded to scurry off to the rookery.
" Why does he need to get the rookery ready?" Elisa asked, a dark eyebrow raised in curiosity.
"To get it ready for eggs and hatchlings, duh," Sarah said smugly. The human's eyes widened, as did the males.
"Eggs are coming?" Clancey asked, hope in his voice.
"We shall see," Ru and Lu said together, rather waspishly.
*Magic user: I used this term as a more unisex version of sorcerer/sorceress.
*The older fey term was basically used because, our elders no best right? Plus, depending on the story, a fey could be two thousand years old and still be consider a youngster by some fey. The older the fey, the more experienced they are in magic.
*Sidhe: this is a term used for high class fey on the Seelie court. They are like the royalty of the fey. Yes, there is a Seelie and Unseelie court. Seelie basically means the bright court, court of light, basically. Just because it's the lighter court, doesn't mean it's the nicer court. Unseelie is the night court, dark court. The grotesque are accepted there, the unlovables, like giants, goblins or trolls as an example.
