[There's a young woman walking down the street, oblivious to the weather, furiously scribbling in a notebook. After a few moments she pauses, makes a face, and tears the page out.]

No, no, that will not work at all...

[She shakes her head and starts to write again. She doesn't seem to notice anything else around her.]

[ooc: YES, this is late.

[Have a pause as Tara tries to make this image work in her brain-space.]

Will?

[magiqueauteur]

[Willow continues to be absorbed in her work, but looks up at the sound of Tara's voice, a little startled. She frowns a little bit, coming to a stop.]

Yes? Hello? [Tara can probably hear the remnants of a French-sounding accent. It's also easy to tell she doesn't recognise Tara.]

[witchinbloom]

Cursed, huh?

[magiqueauteur]

[A pause from this end.] ...I suppose you could call it that. [She sighs, obviously referring to her writing.]

[witchinbloom]

How would you describe it, yourself?

[magiqueauteur]

I cannot seem to make anything sound suitable. The words seem free and true in my head, but harsh and disjointed when translated to paper.

[witchinbloom]

Maybe you should take a break, you know.. not try to force it.

[magiqueauteur]

Perhaps that's wise. It has been a long day. [And she hasn't even gotten around to the absinthe yet.]

[witchinbloom]

Do you have a place to stay?

[Tara is kind of enjoying this. Maybe a little. I mean, it's not her Willow but she's not homicidal and/or morose, either. Non-negative feelings are good!]

[magiqueauteur]

Not really. Generally, I drift. It's hard to make an honest living out of this- [she gestures at her notebook] -some days.

[witchinbloom]

Do you need somewhere to put up for the night?

[magiqueauteur]

Well- if you are offering, it would be rude to say no. [She smiles at her.] My name is Willow.

[witchinbloom]

That's a beautiful name.

I'm Tara.

[magiqueauteur]

And so is yours. [A pause as she closes her notebook, finally, and pockets it.] Shall we?

[witchinbloom]

[Have a very bright smile.]

Absolutely.
