Not really, but he wouldn't mind finding some

Helen was wandering by when she spotted the mirror. She is rather curious as to what she looks like in her disguise as a boy so she goes to look into it. Instead she sees someone else looking out. It is her as she used to look before her hair was cut and her clothes were changed. Her hair is long, her dress is rich, a crown is on her head, and a sword in her hand. She leans in closer and pokes at the mirror.

Typist: Tom says hi and that he is going to kill you.

"Err... hello! What are you doing to my mirror?"

typist: we didn't think he'd be so badly hurt, but Ev says, 'bring it on!'

[border_princess]

Helen looks over at him and frowns. "That is not me in the mirror. It may be broken."

Typist: Dude...Evan dropped him from the top of a tree. It's gonna be pretty bad. And Tom has a really low tolerance for pain.

[not_a_rose]

typist: It was a spell, not supposed to be full gravity drop.

He looks over. "Who is it then? I'm sure it' s not that messed up."

[border_princess]

She frowns a little more and refrains from pouting (boys don't pout.) "It is me, but it is not me, and..." The person in the mirror is now her aas she was when she first escaped, dressed in all the finery of a cossack prince. She looks at Evan. "What sort of magic is this?"

Typist: My bad?

[not_a_rose]

typist: Tom can 'enjoy' his pain, which is why I didn't say anything before. That was supposed to be an apology which I phrased badly. And he's free to hate or try to avenge himself on Evan all he likes. Ev exists to cause trouble.

"Wizard magic, little... girl." He says this based on the mirror image.

She frowns at him. "I am not a girl." The mirror now shows her as she looks now, but covered in blood and with a falcon on her shoulder. She taps it again.

Typist: And on the plus side Tom is now confined to the mansion for the foreseeable future. Feel free to hunt him down since he can't run very far. And on a side note; if Richard ever finds out he'll probably be trying to kill Evan, too.

[not_a_rose]

"Are you a boy then?" He licks his lips.

typist: I'll see how much fun we can get out of this to keep Ev from dying of boredom.

[border_princess]

"Yes," she says, not knowing that this is probably a time when it would be safer not to be.

Typist: *sarcasm* How terrible that would be.

[not_a_rose]

"Come sit with me a while, young man," Evan offers. "I want to see who else likes my mirror."

[border_princess]

She looks at him. He seems friendly enough. "All right. My name is Vasil."

[not_a_rose]

"Hello Vasil. I'm Evan." He gestures to a nearby couch.

[border_princess]

"It is a pleasure to meet you." She sits down and looks at him expectantly for another cue. She is quite sure what to do on her own.

[not_a_rose]

Evan leans forward, knees on elbows. "Are you new here?"

[border_princess]

"Yes. I arrived just a few days ago." Helen sits like someone bred and raised with years of deprtment.

[not_a_rose]

Evan tries to drape an arm over her shoulder. Really, she would be so much safer as a girl. "You'll get used to the place in time."
