A gangling creature of potential (intro)

[half_faerie]

Tristran Thorn is seventeen and chiefly composed of elbows, adam's apple, and copious amounts of awkward. His hair is the color of sodden straw, his right ear flat against his head and almost pointed. His clothes are bright and a bit gaudy, like something a traveling player might wear. He is also the slightest bit damp. He has, after all, been

Karla has been sitting by the lake and watching the sky, and creeps almost silently up behind him. If he doesn't turn around, she'll tap him on the shoulder and murmur "Boo," in his ear.

[half_faerie]

"Oh. Sorry."

[glacianbitch]

She looks a tad amused. "No need to apologize. I'm not offended or anything."

[half_faerie]

He was on the verge of apologizing for apologizing but instead he just opens and quickly closes his mouth, awkwardly.

[glacianbitch]

She laughs again, a little. "You look like a fish," she tells him. "In the best way possible. I'm fond of fish."

[half_faerie]

"Thank you?"

[glacianbitch]

"You're welcome," she says again, with a very gracious, and very serious nod.

[half_faerie]

"Erm..."
