"Also," he said, switching back to English, "I find that I have a certain lack of resistance to the requests of aggressive, beautiful redheads."
Daena just raised a brow at that, but decided not to ask. No they had better things on their minds right now. Her attention was directed back at Alec, she looked ready to snarl and rip his face off and they exchanged words. They completely ignored Robin Goodfellow, she was too busy showing this Time Lord she wasn't going to be insulted.
Both their heads suddenly turned as the Meddler yelled up.
"Excuse me! Voice of reason, intruding here!" He massaged the bridge of his nose, noting that Alec was looking at his feet now. "And if the Meddler - the Puck - has to be the voice of reason, something has gone terribly wrong. Now, I propose that -"
But the other Time Lord already cut him off.
"I think we should go,".
The Aesir just rolled her eyes. Men.
She followed the both of them out of the beergarten.
"We'll have to go to Tara, my Lord Meddler, if I am to take you to the pipe."

The Meddler strolled out of the biergarten, whistling a tune. He stopped at the door and held it for Daena, then followed her into the street.
"We'll have to go to Tara, my Lord Meddler, if I am to take you to the pipe."
"Tara? Really?" He looked surprised. "I would have though we would be going to Hamlin. But Tara it is, although I wish I'd known this would be happening. I was just there, a week or so ago - personal time, you understand. Alec aided me in clearing my name, after my..." He smiled a bit of a sly smile, "lord Midhir was kind enough to extend his protection to me."
He paused for a moment, examining the silvery threads embedded in his palms. "Do you want to drive this time, Alec? It seems like, every time you get in my TARDIS, I end up doing something that makes your life more difficult."

He smiled a bit of a sly smile, "lord Midhir was kind enough to extend his protection to me."
"Lord Midhir, isn't that the Spring King? Last time I heard he was going for High King. But regardless, yes, Tara. You really think we'd leave the pipe in care of humans after what transpired in Hamlin 750 years ago? No it's under high protections in the vaults at the Seelie Court. It would be a disaster if it would start playing with humans around.."
"Do you want to drive this time, Alec? It seems like, every time you get in my TARDIS, I end up doing something that makes your life more difficult."
Her mismatched eyes looked at the other male in question, of course, he was a Time Lord too so he most likely had an interdimentional space and time travel machine too.

Alec's stolen cane entered the Meddler's Tardis before he did. When he finally got in, he behaved like a germaphobe. This was the site of some of his worst days. The plum, the angels, the cloister bell, the-
"Do you want to drive this time, Alec? It seems like, every time you get in my TARDIS, I end up doing something that makes your life more difficult."
Alec's head cocked his head to look at the console. "Hmm? Oh, sure, I guess."
He trudged to the controls a little less cautiously than before. "Where to?"

The Aesir woman stood beside him, her hands resting on the side of the console "Tara Hill, County Meath, Ireland, coordinates 53.577805 by minus 6.611971. Earth."
She looked at the Meddler, then back to this other man again, calling himself the Dark Lord. It made her wonder.
"We'll pass the veil through there to get to the Seelie Court"
From the back of the TARDIS Sisi emerged, a book still in hand. She probably had been reading again in the library. Beer had never been her thing. She first saw Alec, surprised to see him but not unpleasantly.
She stilled when she saw the faery women in their TARDIS, she looked at Robin in confusion. Why was she here?
That's when Daena looked up too, and mismatches eyes locked with crystal green ones. The both looked dumbstruck. Their faces were almost identical in an uncanny way. Yet where Sisi was tall and build for fighting, the Aesir woman was shorter and more plump with wider hips.
They both opened their mouths at the same time.
"What the hell?"

The Meddler looked at Alec. "I'd actually been thinking that we could have taken your TARDIS this time. Give you more control over what happens." Then he shrugged. "But what the heck? My TARDIS enjoys company these days."
Daena gave Alec the coordinates to Tara, and Alec fed them in. As the Time Rotor roared to life, the Dreamweaver walked in - probably curious about what was going on. Then she stopped short, staring at Daena who stared right back.
"What the hell?" both asked.
"Ah! Dreamweaver!" the Meddler called out. "Allow me to present her highness Daena Dé Danann, Crown Princess of the Asgardian Courts. She has asked for our assistance with an artifact of extreme power, and she will consider it rude if you headbutt her to exchange recent memories."
He looked at Daena. "And your highness, allow me to present my Lady the Dreamweaver, daughter of Éibhleann, Cousin of the House Unmade, and Time Lord Aspirant."
A pause. "I would also introduce you to my Lady the Specialist, but she had an errand to attend to in Cardiff next year, and we will be joining her later."

The Aesir woman stood beside him, her hands resting on the side of the console "Tara Hill, County Meath, Ireland, coordinates 53.577805 by minus 6.611971. Earth."
Alec banged buttons here, flipped switches there, and pulled back a large lever to send the Tardis off. The Meddler looked at Alec. "I'd actually been thinking that we could have taken your TARDIS this time. Give you more control over what happens." Then he shrugged. "But what the heck? My TARDIS enjoys company these days."
"Apparently," Alec claimed, "My Tardis says she met yours when we fought the Angels. She says it wasn't an all together unpleasant experience, but say your Tardis was...rather naive."
There was a static shock from the console.
"This dirty little mother-"
Sisi decided to walk in at this moment, and cut him off upon seeing Daena. "That's what I thought when I first met Switcheyes." he agreed.
A pause. "I would also introduce you to my Lady the Specialist, but she had an errand to attend to in Cardiff next year, and we will be joining her later."
"The shrink!" he remembered, recollecting her children.
He crossed his arms. "If we're going to be formal, I'm Īoki from the House of Cerulean, and the first son of Xandavier."

"Ah! Dreamweaver!" the Meddler called out. "Allow me to present her highness Daena Dé Danann, Crown Princess of the Asgardian Courts. She has asked for our assistance with an artifact of extreme power, and she will consider it rude if you headbutt her to exchange recent memories."
Sisi took another good look at the other woman, who also seemed to be sizing her up. It seemed that both of them realised something very strange was going on. Why did this woman look so uncannily much like her? She looked at Robin, uncertain for a moment till he properly introduced her. This woman was a crown princess? Her mother was but an exile.
"Your Highness" She murmured, nodding her head.
"That's what I thought when I first met Switcheyes." he agreed.
"Call me that one more time and you'll lose the hair on your head, too." Daena said calmly and Sisi took a better look at Alec, stiffening a giggle at seeing his eyebrows were gone.
He looked at Daena. "And your highness, allow me to present my Lady the Dreamweaver, daughter of Éibhleann, Cousin of the House Unmade, and Time Lord Aspirant."
"If we're going to be formal, I'm Īoki from the House of Cerulean, and the first son of Xandavier."
Daena raised her brow at that. "Éibhleann, the exiled? You're that child?" She said astonished. The story had gone through the kingdom, how a faery woman had disgraced herself by falling in love with a human man. Eventually, like all past experiences the woman had end up dead. It was used as an example story these days for young Fae to not fall in love with humans.
"Great combination isn't it? Alec here.. wait, did you say Ioki? Since when is that?" She shook her head, getting back to the topic at hand "Anyway, I am the second illicit daughter of Xandavier. That human wasn't a human, but a Time Lord."
Daena looked take back, a union between a Sidhe and a Time Lord? That was a new one.

"Apparently," Alec claimed, "My Tardis says she met yours when we fought the Angels. She says it wasn't an all together unpleasant experience, but say your Tardis was...rather naive."
The Meddler laughed. "And mine thinks yours is cynical and abrasive, but not unpleasant. So I suspect we're even on that."
There was a static shock from the console. "This dirty little mother-"
More laughter. "Apparently, she doesn't agree with the naive assessment."
Sisi entered the room, and the Meddler made introductions.
"The shrink!" he remembered, recollecting her children.
The Meddler winced visibly. "Please, Alec," he said patiently. "The Specialist. Or the Keeper of the Halls of Eileithyia, if you want to be formal. Not 'the shrink'."
Then Alec introduced himself formally as well, and by name instead of title. The Meddler winced again, mildly scandalized by the familiarity.
As the two women talked, the Meddler checked the controls. "Looks like about ten minutes," he observed.
