My, my, what's happening here?

Dec 09, 2006 00:07

Any day now the Mansion will be blanketed in snow and festooned with icicles, right on schedule; but for the moment, the lawns are still bare, the wind brisk but not bitter, the air bracing. Conveniently, because something seems to be going on ( Read more... )

Clar is setting up a table that is a slightly disorganized jumble of little pots, bottles, and small wooden boxes, all neatly labeled. Lovely, thick scarves in various knits and various deeply dyed yarns coil around the containers.

Clar is humming to herself as she adjusts things - they aren't quite where they ought to be. Not in the way she sees them, anyway.

"What witchery are you brewing up, sister?" Gaheris wanders over and pokes at her things.

"'s only simples," Clar says, "Only touch if you actually want to look at them."

"Maybe I do. What do they do?"

dutifuldaughter December 9 2006, 04:37:13 UTC

"That," Clar says, "Depends on the simple. They're labeled. Read them."

"Your ideas of simple and mine," he says, picking up a bottle, "aren't quite the same, dearest."

Clar snorts. "Nothing there to change a mind or body."

She pauses. "Not to change a body more than's seemly. Get rid of colds. And the like."

"All right. What do you want for the colds?"

Clar rolls her eyes. "We live in the same damn house. I want you not sniffling on me. One of them is the little dark green bottle by your left hand. Take it."

"Maybe I'll move out." He pockets it.

"You just want Gawain to track you down again."

She looks thoughtfully at the empty space and moves a few things around it half an inch or so in various directions.

"He hasn't had to do that in years. Why don't I have any marketable skills?"

dutifuldaughter December 9 2006, 05:38:24 UTC

"Because you frittered your youth away at court," Clar says, light.

littlebetter December 9 2006, 05:45:21 UTC

"It's true, it's true. And I don't even have anything to show for it."

dutifuldaughter December 9 2006, 05:48:03 UTC

"Good hair."

He laughs aloud.
