Bubble, bubble toil and trouble
Aridis had done much thinking off and on over That Idiot. Not the Olympian. Argo is a friend.

The other oaf. The Celtic god who keeps trying to marry her. She dislikes being treated like a prize time and time again. She cannot let this stand anymore. She has better taste than the fool. She also has no plans to marry, ever. It does not seem like something that she should do given the things that will happen one day. Hopefully that day is far from now.

There is one person she can think of who would have the best advice for how to stop this without starting a war. Asleif. Clever Aslief who knows about things others just simply overlook.

Aridis decides to ask her. So she goes in search of Aslief. "Sister, do you have time to talk? There is a matter I wouldst discuss with thee."

	Asleif had been in the library, reading a play about a trickster fairy and lovestruck mortals. She rather liked the part where the trickster got the better of the pompous fairy queen. She looked up and the book floated out of her lap, a bookmark slid into place, and the book found its way back to the shelf. "What canst I do for thee, Aridis?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I needst thy mind," Aridis starts. "I hath need of a solution to a most vexing problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, this has her attention. "I see," she said. She did not ask 'what is in it for me?'. Aridis annoyed her far less than Svalin or Hal. For that, she would be a small portion more polite. "Tell me your troubles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Doth thou remember the Oaf? That Celt who keeps trying to marry me?" She doesn't wait. She just moves on. "I want him to stop kidnapping me. I want it to be very clear I am not his and will never be his. Thou hast many ideas whenever we hath a problem. I thought perhaps thou may have a solution that will not end in war."

	Asleif steepled her fingers. "A dilemma," she agreed. "But one which doth present itself with varied solutions. Thou wert wise to come to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. My other option wast to enlist our brother and beat the tar out of him, as some of our friends wouldst say." Though it would be entertaining. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This got a quiet chuckle from her. "He art quite good at what he does, this be true. But this solution requires more cleverness than brawn." She considered this a moment. "Yes... I doth believe I know just the solution." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It wouldst have been fun. Tis most pleasing to see our siblings enjoy what they art good at," Aridis says looking like a cat who just ate a big annoying bird. "Aye? Then what wouldst thou propose, sister?" Aridis is deeply interested right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So long as the do it somewhere I doth not have to listen to it," Asleif mused. She rose, walked slowly around Aridis. "A simple solution. We make thee quite the secret, at least as far as thine oafish suitor ist concerned. Yes... a spell so that he shalt not be able to lay eyes upon thee at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That canst be our back up plan," Aridis offers with a smirk. Aridis likes the sound of this. "I hath no doubt this will work. Thank thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good," Asleif said. "I doth require time to prepare the ingredients and this spell doth require moonlight. Meet me tonight on the beach, when the moon be full." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I wilt see thee there." She gets up so she won't get in the way then pauses half way to give Aslief a blinding smile.

"Thank thee, sister. I knew thou couldst think of a plan. If thou ever needs mine help you know you need not ask."

That is why when the end of all things happens Aridis will never hold Aslief in question. They are sisters. It is a bond that cannot be broken by anything in Aridis's mind.

	Asleif could be found on the beach, consulting a floating book. Occasionally, she would pause to toss something into the cauldron, simmering on a sickly looking fire. (Reply to this)
