Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@Belle Hm, I don't know how the fruit thing would work, but...yeah, that might do it. If the cure is simple, though, there's no reason to keep Lyra in Spring.

Unfortunately, because the fey know little of science (which makes an excellent reason to use it against them!) it also means they would have no way of employing it themselves.

Unless. Perhaps an exiled fey (such as the one I had the vague notion of before) with ulterior motives offers to let the Winter Queen use something he's cooked up? He sees it as a test, she gets a way to hurt Feoras, and Lyra needs extensive care. Exiled from Summer, most likely, though I could see him being from another court. He'd be in contact with either unaligned fey or low level court fey, but not allowed in the fey realm himself.

@Prince of Seraphs@Ojo chan 42@LAdyRunic Not sure if you want to go with crosses controlling them either, as that's a distinctly Christian thing and implies the existence of a power greater than the fey, and while it's loosely defined there's also a lot of extant lore on it. A proper iron bridal would actually probably kill a kelpie through prolonged contact, and certainly it'd lead to illness and poisoning.

Generally fey were captured for riches or wishes, not hard labor. I'm not sure why someone would, really. Also you could /kill/ the man, and that'd free Caoimhin, wouldn't it? I don't know why they didn't do that. Or curse him. Or something.

I think it's strange that Clyde trusted the human girl, but eh, Sini's done worse as a child. The whole negotiating for some /other/ fey's child seems a bit...odd, but *shrug* your chars. Though it's interesting that the kelpie who fathered Laira cared about the baby, but not the woman, and then left both...very sticky situation there. *grins* Should be fun to play with.

Interesting that Clyde and the father were both from Fall, but didn't know each other. Rival herds, perhaps, so they know only /of/ the others, but not their faces?

Sini: ~...he's a bigoted jerk and it rankles he's ruled for so long, and isn't able to be deposed. *internal sigh* Life in the fey realms, I suppose.~ *goes back to setting up contingency plans for a Seelie/Unseelie war*

@Prince of Seraphs I like them! ^.^ And I think Lei does too. I think Sini and Leaf will get along well. ^.^

@Belle children get sick all the time. Pneumonia, if it is indeed caused by dampness in the lungs, may be brought on by inhaling the wrong things, even in small amounts. Granted, most children irl are growing up when they have trouble with tonsils or appendixes, but it's not beyond imagining. I doubt she's been healthy every single day of her life, after all. If you don't want her sick I guess that's fine. I just thought it was an idea worth discussing, what with Falk proposing to the Winter Queen.

Right now it's looking like antagonizing Feoras is, at the very least, something Sini would /strongly/ advise against. If Fall is trying to ally with Winter even loosely, then Spring and Summer must be on good terms should it ever come to war. Stealing the Summer King's darling would be a bad move, especially since Feoras is known for a hair trigger temper.

This primarily came from a desire to find an alternative method of forging a bond between Lyra and those in Spring, since I thought part of the fun of Nyx taking Lyra was breaking her bond with Summer, or at least supplanting it. Max is a good candidate in general, as he adores children.

@Prince of Seraphs Max wouldn't be anywhere near a portal, though. He's likely in the palace, or some more central location. =/

@Ojo chan 42 Just remember that crossing the border right now is going to be seen with a lot of suspicion, even more than just showing up as an unrecognized visitor. And depending on how @LadyRunic feels about my suggestion of border/buffer/ungoverned zones, the distance may be a full day's travel, by foot, between where a barrier could be raised between Summer and neutral and the line for neutral and Fall. Though I imagine a kelpie's swimming speed would be faster.

As for diseases being brought, I really don't think we need to go into where it came from. There's diseases everywhere, including the Fey Realm. The relevant part is really Lyra getting sick, not what causes it, although I will agree having an idea of what did it is wise. Leaning towards appendicitis or something requiring antibiotics, probably the latter. Max wouldn't have the best skill with surgery, though I'm sure he knows the general idea. Then again, antibiotics would need to be fetched from the human realm....and there's not a good reason magic couldn't substitute. *waffles* I think pneumonia might work. When I got a severe case as a child, I had to keep going for xrays of my chest. *smiles* This means that there'd be a need for repeated visits to make sure Lyra isn't getting worse and to track the course of the disease. @Belle, you want to weigh in here?

Still have a desire to have some iron-tolerant fey banished from the realm and craft an illness with iron or something woven into it, then set it loose to wreak havoc on the fey...or something....

EDIT: I /think/ pneumonia is caused by liquid in the lungs making an ideal home for organisms already present within human bodies. I think.
