Nessie was the seeking part of the hide and seek equation. However, she is quite certain that she was neither looking through a tree for Jacob, nor was she playing hide and seek naked so when she falls through

"No," admits Priya, freely. "It isn't."

She puts her hands on her hips, and examines them. The shifts in the wolf's demeanor, the fade of his growl, the wolf's obvious protectiveness. Yes, he was also through the tree, and he is, as she is, a sentient creature.

Priya half-bows to both of them.

"Welcome to Rowan," says Priya. "You've both just been seized from your own world and transported to this one via a magical portal. I'm sorry. It can be quite a trial."

Jacob's used to being assaulted with images and Nessie's feelings, and he decides he needs to phase back after she shows him this scene all over again, accompanied by her apprehension. He moves behind her and pick up the cloak in his teeth - the air shimmers around him as he quickly shrinks down. Not like the centaur's gonna care about nudity.

"Thanks. Now if you can just make your magic tree magically portal us back home, that'd be great," he says as he pulls the cloak around himself and stands by Nessie again. Priya doesn't look all that harmful, and he's pretty sure he could get Nessie out of the way if it came to it. He just doesn't love the whole idea of being kidnapped from...Earth.

Jacob also makes a point to ignore that his robe barely wraps around him and doesn't even reach his knees.

Okay later, Nessie will totally not!laugh at the way the cloak doesn't fit Jacob. Right now she's doing the whole don't panic! Don't hyperventilate! thing. She reaches over and grabs Jacob's hand, threading her fingers with his.

"They're expecting us for dinner and I promised Jasper I'd let him help me with the whole war of Northern Aggression thing."

In other words, what Jake said please.

Priya doesn't seem to react much, at Jacob's transformation. Turns her eyes on Jacob, then on Nessie, and tilts her head, curiously.

Neither of them are human. From the warmth, Priya would have guessed demon, but, then, that isn't quite right either, is it.

"There's quite the detailed history behind this portal," she tells them, in a manner reminiscent of a history lecturer. "In ages past, it was a way to trade with many worlds, all over the possible universes. But, sometime in the past, it closed, and this world was trapped, on its own. Now the portal opens again, but it only goes one way." A shake of her head.

Gentler, now: "I'm afraid there is no way back."

He squeezes Nessie's hand to reassure her. Jacob wants to let himself shake and burn and return to the form that would help him express his anger the most violently, but it's not going to help Nessie. It's just going to make the situation worse.

"Great lesson, that's awesome. No offense but it sounds like something out of Narnia. Or one of those crappy fantasy TV shows." He screws his face up at that because it isn't like their life is normal.

There are a few ways this can go, and Jacob runs through them fairly methodically. Giving into the instinct to try to tear everything in sight apart is already off the table, so that leaves diplomacy which he's just fantastic at, and hitting the centaur. Which also isn't great for Nessie's well being. If he were alone, things would have turned out much differently. "Okay. Okay, now what?"
