Burnside bristled. "I found him first!”
"Its name is Sun-and-Moon," Meadow snapped. “And I’ve been using it for nearly 200 years!”
"Shoulda kept better track of it then," Burnside sneered. “Finders keepers!”
“It is magickally bound to me!" Meadow insisted. "It is mine to use by divine right! Why do you think it’s floating to me?”
"Could be some kinda Gramarye," Burnside theorized. “Whadda you mean, divine right?”
“I’m the current acting Wolf, I mean, Mouse Queen!" Meadow declared. "This holy weapon is a symbol of Seelieness and goodness!”
“Goodness?? Seelieness??” Burnside suddenly let go of the bardiche as if it was red-hot. “Mister Choppy is a symbol of Seelieness??!!” She begin frantically shaking her hands and rubbing them on her shirt. “EW! EW! EW! I touched somethin' Seelie! I need to wash! My Unseelie aura has done been soiled! I think I’m fixin' to be sick!” She dropped to her hands and knees and began retching.
Rebecca lunged forward and put a quick Whammy on Burnside, knocking her out.
"I think that was probably unnecessary,” I remarked.
“Probably," Rebecca grinned, "but I need the practice.”
“Adler," Meadow called imperiously. "We need to talk. Is that raccoon femme the same Burnside who was a changeling at the very last Ferifax festival? Who went on to become the Duchess' most dreaded handmaiden? What is her relationship to you? Why is there someone so Unseelie hanging around you? And what's with the rabbit witch?”
"Well, uh," I stated incisively. "Burnside is kinda ... my personal bodyguard, and..."
"Should I be sitting down for this?" Meadow asked unhappily.
