Snake had the twins for the day. Jondy had been nice enough to take Toby and Cassie to the park. She thought it would be good for them and Snake couldn't agree more. So with a promise to pick Cassie up in a few hours and be home to make dinner since neither Bria or Evie were feeling well today Snake headed out. He wasn't sure what to do at first. His intention was to get the twins out of the house, as well as the dogs who were in the back of the humvee so Bria could relax and feel no obligation to take care of anything other than herself. Finally he settled on going to see Mab. He hadn't visited her since before the birth. He wanted to see the babies and how the two Griffins were doing. Certainly terrorizing the court if nothing else.

He took a leisurely drive out there. No, the court of the fae queen wasn't something you could normally just drive to. It took more than that but Plissken had figured that out months earlier. He left the humvee not far from the main grounds but under the supervision of her guards. Last thing he needed was to come back to find it stripped by a tinkerer or eaten by whichever fae it was that swallowed big things whole. He put Steven up in the backpack and carried Mia with the diaper bag on his shoulder and the dogs in tow. He was certain his arrival was already reaching Mab. Court talk always went fast. Rumors were the only thing that could spread faster.

He wasn't sure where he'd find Mab but headed for the main building. The dogs stayed close by as he walked warily. He wasn't normally worried about being here but with the dogs and his youngest he wouldn't be able to relax until he was with Mab who was much better at keeping an eye out for problems.

Mab had taken the triplets with her to one of the estates. It was as close to an actual outing as she'd taken them in a long time. She hadn't been overly social with the young ones beyond the help that was necessary given the sheer number of children in their home. There are few explanations she had as to why other than it was what her instincts told her to do and she trusted them. The funny thing at the Tir na n'Og was that roads bent to help those with power or those liked by those with power. So there was nothing really surprising about seen Snake drive up in the humvee, a bit about him trusting the guards, but her men did excellent work and it was, indeed, safe.

Unlike her actual Court, the estate looked like a queen's Court. Rolling grounds and beautifully imposing buildings surrounding a central compound. If she hadn't been in residence, there would have been a small herd of faerie hounds running the grounds. As it was the bulky black hounds and the sleek white and red eared hounds were kept in the kennels for the time being. The scent of the foreign dogs leads to eerie baying of the more than mortal beasts. Then the normal yelling at dogs to shut up followed by a high pitched whistle that leaves them all quiet. Which comes from Mab, who is sitting on a blanket spread over a patch of ground kept relatively warm by a gift she had received recently.

The triplets are arranged on the blanket doing as is in their nature to do. Moria is shaded behind a stuffed bear and sleeping peacefully. Donovan is aimed head first at Mab on his stomach, trying out his arms and testing their ability to push him up right. Isolde is snuggled comfortably in her mother's arm and Mab is peaceful. "I didn't expect you, Snake."
