I love that Dale and Warren Burgess full on took their role as older cousins to Kendra and Seth so seriously, becoming as protective of them as older siblings would. I mean:

“‘Maybe you should just feed me to him (Olloch),’ Seth said.

‘Don’t talk nonsense,’ Grandma said…

‘He’ll have to eat me to get to you.’ Dale said. ‘Whether you like it or not.’”

This is Book 2 RotES

“The knife at her side had Kendra’s full attention. She realized that the wrong words or action might get her stabbed.

…

Warren stopped into view, hands in his shopping cart, eyes on Civia. Kendra had never seen him look quite so serious.

…

“Warren stopped. ‘I don’t care who you are,’ he said. ‘You harm Kendra and I’ll break your neck.’”

This is Book 5 KthDP

-

Dale was fully ready to fist fight a whole ass demon to protect Seth. Warren told the LAST Eternal that he did not give a shit and would end her to protect Kendra. I just love how ride or die these to are, pure Burgess blood right there.

I would pay so much real money for Dale Burgess backstory book(s), especially if it also included his brother and their parents' backstories too (have we ever even heard about their parents?? I don't think so)

late Christmas gifts ideas for the Fablehaven characters

Bracken: a get out of jail, free card from monopoly. kendra: a book of some sort. Seth: therapy and cool armor. Warren: bandages a lot of bandages. Tanu: materials to make potions out of. Vanessa : a new cool creature to possess Knox: a basketball. tess: stuffed animals. raxtus: his dad’s respect or is Dad’s head on a spike either one. Dale: any page time whatsoever.

Fluffy Feburary [2024], Day 2 Prompt- Eavesdrop @fluffyfebruary

It had all started very simply, or well... Ronodin thought it had started very simply, he still wasn't quite sure how it had gotten to this point. With him sat in the Sorenson's living room, a Christmas tree up in the corner with several people glancing cautiously at him- as they should.

He had simply been listening in on Kendra and his cousin, and really, the should know better then to talk where someone could easily eavesdrop. And yet somehow, he was caught! Him! Master of hiding and deception and a million other things. (No, he was not going to give that dragon credit for finding him.)

And so. Here he sat in the Sorenson's living room. Ruth(?) staring at him, no amusement on her face as she held a crossbow- a loaded crossbow!- at his face. A few feet to her left was a rather boring looking man that he couldn't recall that name of (David? Daniel? Whatever.). And a satyr! Now, he didn't really have anything truly against them but... really? A satyr in their house? Did they not care about the furniture?

Nearest to him was his beloved cousin, son of the Fairy Queen, Bracken. And opposite his (annoying) cousin was the Fairy Queen's handmaiden, Kendra. Really, if anything it was their whole fault he was here!

Once he'd been found someone had ushered Seth away, which Ronodin found quite rude. Sure, he might've emotionally manipulated him- but everyone emotionally manipulated someone at one point or another!

...

...three hours had passed. Somewhere after the half hour mark the satyr had left the house, but promising that he'd be back later with another satyr (Nick? Newel?).

Then after the hour the plain man (Dale!) had stood up and said that he needed to get back to his chores, not before leveling a glare at him though. Really! The nerve of these people. Did they not understand how rude they were being to him?

Around two hours later, when the sun was making its descent Ruth had reluctantly stood up and made Kendra and his cousin promise to keep an eye on him before she disappeared.

And so, after the three hour mark Kendra had inquired if he would like something to eat. Now, you must understand- he was not a picky person when it came to food. But he had very much laughed in her face, which quickly made her retract the offer of food.

At the realization that she seriously wasn't going to get him food unless he apologized he pouted. Wasn't she supposed to be a 'good guy'? What kind of good guy didn't feed their guests?

Another half an hour later he finally caved and (politely) asked her to get him something to eat. Since really, he did need to eat something. Before she'd left she had made eye contact with his cousin that seemed to make him promise to keep an eye on Ronodin.

...

...an unknown amount of time later he'd been released from him bondage.

And somehow he was... enjoying spending time with his (moronic) cousin and Kendra. Perhaps it was because he felt some... peace, from being around just the two of them. The light magic that emanated from them felt like a cool balm against his skin. Like a memory of something that had once been familiar to him.

He found himself lowering his guard around the two. The barbs coming from him not feeling as venomous as they should, and the ones coming from his friends enemies didn't feel as venomous as they should either. They felt... like the snark one would expect from people who had known each other their entire lives and were friends. Not two unicorns and a mortal(?) handmaiden to the Fairy Queen who were enemies.

At some point, Ronodin realized that there was a blanket wrapped around the three of them, with another spread across their laps. He was stuck in between them but it didn't feel bad... it felt safe. Even as he felt Kendra's head on his shoulder, soft breathing coming from her as her eyelids fluttered. Or his cousin's soft voice that made him feel like he was a young unicorn again and his older cousin was telling him stories.

It felt like home. That was his only thought as he felt himself rest his head on Kendra's and slowly drift off to sleep.

Found this in my Google docs, too! I think I was trying to fit this scene into In The Darkness, but it just wouldn’t work. So I tailored it a little and now imagine it takes place idk somewhere during book 5 before Graulas torched Fablehaven I guess 🤷‍♀️

It’s a mini therapy session between Dale and Vanessa.

——

“Just having a low day?” he asked.

“I messed things up pretty badly.”

He leaned back against one of the porch’s support beams. “You know, if I hadn’t been pinned when you were revealed to be our traitor, I would’ve tried to kill you.”

She bowed her head. “I know.” He would’ve tried to kill her, and she would’ve done whatever it took to protect herself.

Dale looked out across the yard and was silent for a long pause. He glanced at her briefly before he admitted, “I’m glad I was pinned.”

That caught Vanessa’s interest. “Really?”

“Yeah,” he said. His gaze remained focused on some point across the yard; Vanessa couldn’t tell exactly what he was looking at.

“Why?” she asked. “You have plenty of reasons to hate me. Everyone does. I don’t think Ruth will ever trust me again.”

Dale scratched at the scruff on his chin and turned his full attention to her. “I’ve never been particularly good at hating. It takes too much energy, and the days are already tiring enough as is.”

Vanessa didn’t know what to say. She was used to the sideways looks she attracted from what felt like everyone, the conversations which would cease the moment she stepped into a room, sensitive planning meetings which she wasn’t invited to attend.

“You think you’re the only person who’s ever made bad decisions? The only one who regrets their actions? The first person on earth to be duped by someone they’ve admired and trusted? Really?” He shook his head. “Nope.”

“You too?”

“Yes. Not the same circumstances, but yes.” He looked back out across the yard. “All we can do is try again.”

Vanessa turned her attention to a few meandering fairies across the yard as well. “I feel terrible,” she mumbled.

Dale was quiet for a moment, then said, “You should. But don’t stay in that place. Do something about it.”

“How do I redeem myself, though?” she asked. She craved a real answer from him - how could she prove that she had changed?

He began to shrug, but stopped midway and smirked. “Well, we do have a couple of kids with a knack for getting into a lot of trouble. I’m sure something’ll come up eventually. It might be a good move to start there.”

Vanessa leaned her chin onto her knee. “What about the interim?”

“What about teaching the troublemakers some skills?” he suggested.

For what felt like the first time in days, she smiled a little. “I’ll think on that,” she said. “Thank you, Dale. I don’t deserve your kindness.”

“Sure,” he said. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go make sure the new barn door Hugo put in today is functional. The chores never end…”

She laughed under her breath a little as he grumbled while he walked away.
