Who: Albinia and YOU
When: Day 64, noonish
Where: Shrine Area
What: A story.

[As promised, Albinia is sitting in the shrine area. The temperature might be a bit cooler there, but that's more for the snakes' discomfort than any of you.]

[And she's just calmly waiting for people to gather.]

[your hands are occupied but that won't stop me from reaching out and catching a sleeve]

Dearest.

Re: Question

[A pause. And then looks at you, a bit startled.]

Tempest?

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

[she . . . frowns for a moment, then reaches up to pull back her hood with the free hand]

She is quite lovely.

[It takes a moment, his expression still vague, disconnected with emotions for several seconds. And everything snaps back to how you know him, his expression brightens, eyes focus, the smile is brilliant at that.]

Is she not? Well... actually a bath might not be a bad idea. Might as well start a trend now before it's literally impossible. Stone never had much in the way of upkeep like muscle and skin does.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

[yes good, let's focus on something good]

I can't but agree. It would be a nice first experience too, yes? At least, hopefully.

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

...

No. I admit it would be a bit like dunking a curwiss.

... I think I should take her to Ur'Ghaste first.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

[s-snort]

. . . an even more lovely idea. Would they get along?

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

Like rot on a log, my dearest.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

Then what are you waiting for?

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

An excellent point, my dearest.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

As always. May I accompany you? It has been a while since I have spoken with hir.

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

I wouldn't dream of denying you.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

You are too kind, my prince.

[leans up a bit, kisses his forehead] Do remember that we are here for you, yes? You and her now.

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

...

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

. . . [cups his cheek gently]

Ptou. Look at me.

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

[Follows after a moment. Gosh he's pale but the EXPRESSION he gives her is right.]

I hadn't... I do appreciate it. Ah... she's been through a lot.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

[keeps her hand there, her expression carefully calm]

Mm . . . we will take it one day at a time, alright? Do not think you are alone in this, my love.

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

No, that of all things is not a fear.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

Good.

. . . will you be alright?

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

I'm not really sure the use of future tense is THAT warranted.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

Present tense is right out, I already know the answer to that.

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

[Silence is a pretty powerful answer from him.]

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

[her expression falters just a bit at that - worry and concern written all over it - before the calm slams right back down.

TOPIC CHANGE]

She will be staying with us, yes? Would you like me to look into getting some of the things she will need?

Re: Question

[over_the_fop]

I... don't know what they'll be entirely.

... Antibiotics and alcohol. Cleaners, things like that. Yes. Those will all be a good idea.

Re: Question

[hyanaimne]

[tilts her head, but nods]

A bed as well? And some clothes. Everything else we already have.
