011 [Video] - BACKDATED to early evening, July 24

Jul 31, 2011 22:15

[Juliet has pulled her hair completely away from her face, this evening. She looks a little shaken, a bit paler than usual, which only makes the words burned onto her neck stand out more. She angles the device so that it gets a clear view of the text. "The game's afoot: Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry! England and ( Read more... )

this does not bode well, how can someone write that small?, she's not all here right now, this hurts, really kind of scared

[For a long moment, he just stares at the screen, clearly disgusted.]

[video | private] population_ctrl August 1 2011, 03:40:48 UTC

Tell me what happened.

[Once the shock's worn off, she'll likely be as disgusted with the injury. As it stands now, her voice shakes and her eyes are glassy.]

I was going to the indoor marketplace, to find more thread. I didn't want to run out part-way through the work. On my way there, someone or something struck me, and I lost consciousness. Lord Saxon found me by the edge of the city, nearly in the wastes, and revived me. The markings were there when he found me, he said. I'd thought it was a bite, at first; it burned when I moved my neck. My basket was gone - I suppose I dropped it when I was first attacked. And Lord Saxon was kind enough to see me home safely.

[She chokes back a sob. She'll have her cry when she's not speaking to someone, if she can help it.]

I'm only glad someone was able to help me. I didn't think it would be so dangerous to go back to the marketplace. I took the very same route I took yesterday, and I kept my watch, as I always do. If - if Lord Saxon had not found me....

[She swallows visibly and shakes her head a ( ... )

[He listens, eyes slightly narrowed. This attack angers him for more than one reason - and he might sound sterner than usual as a consequence.]

You have been by the Clinic?

[video | private] capuletnomore August 1 2011, 11:20:41 UTC

I - I have not. I have no injuries save this, and Lord Saxon said there was little to be done for it, save let it heal. He said - he said it did not seem the type of thing to scar badly, if at all. If you think it wise to go, just to be certain, I shall ask Spike to take me.

[The look in his eyes doesn't change, though her words make him all the more suspicious.]

At this point, I don't think it matters.

[video | private] population_ctrl August 1 2011, 15:50:18 UTC

When this event is over, you must promise me something, Madame.

[video | private] capuletnomore August 1 2011, 16:19:05 UTC

If I am able, of course, Lord Duroc. What is it you wish?

[video | private] population_ctrl August 1 2011, 17:10:24 UTC

Learn self-defense.

[video | private] capuletnomore August 1 2011, 17:29:54 UTC

I think that is wise counsel, Lord Duroc. I will endeavor to find a teacher for such things.

Given that whoever attacked me struck me from behind, it would have done me little good in this instance, but the city is dangerous enough that learning such things would be most prudent.

[video | private] population_ctrl August 1 2011, 17:45:09 UTC

[His voice turns borderline harsh now.]

It would have taught you not to let your guard down. [And pause. Voice sliiightly less sharp.] I regret that running errands for me has left you in such a state.

[video | private] capuletnomore August 1 2011, 17:56:52 UTC

[She winces, hearing the tone of his voice. She expects some harshness from Tybalt, but he sounds more like her father would in this circumstance.]

I had not, Lord Duroc, I swear it! I was as careful as I could have been, so I had thought.

I - I could just as easily have been running errands for the household. You bear no blame or fault for what has happened.

[video | private] population_ctrl August 1 2011, 18:09:19 UTC

I know. It's not your fault, of course. [He sighs, audibly.] We must all guard ourselves better.

[video | private] capuletnomore August 1 2011, 18:17:25 UTC

[Were he her father, she would rest her head against his arm for a moment. As he is not, and as they are speaking through little machines, she nods carefully in deference to his words.]

We shall. I most certainly shall. I do not intend to go anywhere without a trusted escort until I am capable of doing so safely.

[video | private] population_ctrl August 1 2011, 18:28:04 UTC

Good.

[He takes a moment to look at her, then off to the side. It's not necessarily the fact that someone harmed her (though that, too, bothers him) - it's the choice of victims, the timing and the chaos. It can't be undone, though. And so, he moves on.]

You'll have the fabric tomorrow, before noon.

[video | private] capuletnomore August 1 2011, 18:40:27 UTC

Thank you, Lord Duroc. Please, do take care. I would not wish to see my friends harmed.

[And she smiles at him.]
