She rolls her eye, calmly clasping her hands to try to hide the bleeding.

Lise was more confused at Charles sudden and strange outburst.

Leanansidhe sighed and turned to them, then seemed to notice the trio for the first time. "Ah, there you are." She smiled, and their faces lit up in the glow of her attention. "Did you manage to get the eggs, darlings?"

Warren snatched the backpack from Nelson's arm and held it out. "We found the nest, Leanansidhe. It was just where you said. But the dragon woke up then, and..." He unzipped the pack, revealing a yellow-green egg the size of a basketball. "We were only able to get one."

"One?" Leanansidhe frowned, and shadows fell over the room. "Only one? I need at least two, pets, or the deal is off. The former Duke of Frostfell specifically said a pair of eggs. How many is in a pair, darling?"

"T-two," Warren stammered.

"Well, then. I'd say you still have work to do. Go on, now. Chop-chop. And don't come back without those eggs!"

The trio fled without hesitation, following the human out the same door. Leanansidhe watched them go, then whirled on them with a bright, feral smile. "Well! Here we are at last. When Grimalkin told me you were coming, I was ever so pleased. Its so good to finally meet you."

Grimalkin descended the stairs with his typical indifference, completely unfazed by the Death Glares coming Puck. Leaping onto a sofa, he sat down and began grooming his tail.

she shot a glare at Grim, then looked back at Leanansidhe. " What do you want with us? "

She stays silent. Her eye has begun bleeding.

She completely ignored both of them.

"And Puck!" Leanansidhe turned to him, clasping her hands in delight. "I havent seen you in forever, darling. How is Oberon these days? Still being henpecked by that basilisk of a wife?"

"Dont insult the basilisks," Puck replied, smiling. Crossing his arms, he gazed around the room, moving ever so slightly in front of the girls. "So, Lea, looks like youve been busy. Whats up with the crazies and the half-bloods? Building an army of misfits?"

"Dont be silly, darling." Leanansidhe sniffed, plucking a cigarette holder from a lamp stand. She took a puff and blew a hazy green cloud over their heads. It writhed and twisted into a smoky dragon before dissipating in the air. "My coup days are behind me, now. Ive made a nice little realm for myself here, and overthrowing a court is so tedious. However, Id ask you not to tell Titania that you found me, darling. If you went and blabbed, I might have to rip out your tongue." She smiled, examining a bloodred nail, as Puck inched closer to the girls. "Also, Robin dear, you neednt worry about protecting the girls. I mean them no harm. The Iron faery I might have to dismember and send its remains to Asia--" Ironhorse tensed and took a step forward "--but I have no intention of hurting the daughters of Oberon. So relax, pet. Thats not why I called them here."

(i just googled the meaning of henpecked and i cant xD)

" Then why did you call us here? "

(Well...I mean...she's not wrong)

She stays silent. Theres a red streak down the left side of her face.

"You're so cute, did you know that? You look just like your father. No wonder Titania cant stand to look at you. Whats your names, darlings?" She had no idea what was happening to Isiea
