"hey hey, well get it done with no fuss or muss. is a kid good?"

 

 "Better than a teenager. A child, preferably one that is small, would be good. I am going to raise it myself!" He looks rather proud.

"And... Here we are! In you go, into the cell. The human should be waiting in there!"

The Fae holds open the gate, and ushers Thorne inside.

 Thorne sighs and rubs the bridge of the boney skull "I can now see where this is leading..." The two sides of the skull split in two, one side breaking off and turning into a dog-luke creature with the same head "I expected better."

The Fae looks puzzled.

"Whatever do you mean? ... Oh! You think this is a trap! Hah. It's nice to see how low you think of me. I cannot break my word. The human is in there. If the human nis not in ideal condition, I will retrieve another fro you from Deep Storage. I told you this already. I will come into the cell with you, if that would ease your worries."

 "I'm sorry but fey have lied to my face more than once, I have to be completely sure that I don't end up as part of the auction somehow."

 "Couldn't you get a volunteer from the human world? So many children would love to use magic, especially ones from broken homes. I should know." He takes a sip of his drink. "You smoke? I don't."

 "No. I need one who is deeply saturated by the weave. I found this place and my calculations say that this area is absolutely soaked with it."

 "Couldn't you just bring them here? Or do they specifically have to be kidnapped?" He places his cold glass against his forehead.

 "Sadly, this is one of the best spots. They need to have been here for an extended period of time, at least a few months, to have the conditions just correct enough." He wrings his gloved hands "I'm afraid this is the best I can do on notice."

 "look at the proud father here! you want any specific location?"

 "Here, today if possible." He explains and hands them a bank note for more than 10,000 gold "This was the money I would spend, you can have it instead. I have no idea for it."

*i do have a child in the stores, so hmu if and when you want it introduced. A good way to get it might be to bribe the auctioneer with booze.*

"... Auction...?"

The Fae looks confused, before waving a hand dismissively, hiding the previous confusion.

"I would never do such a thing! ... But, could you tell me more about this auction...? It seems I was trapped longer than I thought..."

The auctioneer is on their break in the Rose, sitting at the bar and barely paying attention to anything but their drink. They still wear their red gala mask, but their bowtie is undone and their hat is nowhere to be found.

 "You have been bloody trapped here?" He blinks, very confused before forming together. He wrings his hands, kneeling down like how a parent would with a child "When were you first in here?'

 Thorne walks over, his cane tapping against the ground "Hello"

 "(GP) deal, if you ask me. What's this... experiment for? I mean, giving humans magic is nice and all, but if it has such specific requirements, will this really be applicable to the people who would actually need it?" He places a puzzle cube on the table and slides it over.

 "here.... that makes it harder....." they take the note and put it in their inside pocket, before flying away, taking their socket, shirt, aand pants with them

*good end?*

 "I want to do something, become a father, a teacher of something that I don't ruin the life of. I want to prove to myself that I am more than just a horrible creature." He says in a low tone, only meant to be shared with Theo "This experiment proves to not only myself, but to the world, I am not a man-eater, an evil creature."

 *I tell you hwhat, I had a whole plan for one of the ravens acting like an owl from Harry Potter, pretend to take them to magic school. now they have to be creative*

 *That's fine with me. They could fight over the child lol, Thorne wants to teach the child himself while your guy wants to take it to magic school.*

 "Huh. I didn't know that people willingly became merchandise. At least, not while they lived." He takes a sip of his crystal cola. "But I guess Echo doesn't have to worry about it anymore. The Prince let them go, right there in the marketplace. He's done that with every creature he's bought so far." The tiny necromancer yawns, then rubs his eyes. "But enough about him. How are you doing?"

 "Oh, you'd be surprised how many desperate magical creatures sign themselves in." they yawn a little.

 "Huh. You wanna 'nother drink?" He drops some gold on the table.
