She stumbles into the garden as if she'd fallen from somewhere else, and scrambles quickly to her feet, her hair wild around her, a butterfly net clutched in one hand. Then she stops and looks at the garden, her dark eyes cautious ( Read more... )

"Oh... dear." He's in a tree, and he's not wearing his jacket (it's draped over a nearby branch) and he's lost his hat somewhere or other and there's a lady (not English, and barefoot, but still) wandering around below, looking in need of assistance.

He splits the difference between hiding and coming down, and calls, "Are you alright, Miss?"

She looks up, startled into putting a hand to the knife in her pocket, given her by Tamb' Itam before he would let her out of his sight (Tamb' Itam is too wary these days of losing his remaining tie to Jim).

"What?" she calls back, in English.

"Are you alright? Uninjured?" He displays his empty, open hands.

mestika April 13 2008, 04:09:24 UTC

"Injured? Me, hurt? No."

jarndyceheir April 13 2008, 04:28:42 UTC

"Oh. Good." He works his way down from the tree, trying to re-don his jacket, as he does.

She gazes at him appraisingly, leaning on the butterfly net like a staff.

"I'm, erm, I'm Richard Carstone." He offers a hand. "Sorry for the lack of dignity in the introduction."

Jewel makes a neat little curtsy. "I did not know anyone lived here."

"A great many people do, actually. It's an odd sort of place." He bows a bit, instead of shaking, since she didn't take the hand.

mestika April 15 2008, 02:35:31 UTC

"Odd?"

jarndyceheir April 15 2008, 10:28:51 UTC

He nods. "In more ways than I can readily explain. I don't even know what it's properly called, I'm afraid. Most people just call it 'The Mansion.'"

mestika April 16 2008, 01:44:32 UTC

She knows the word, and nods, agreeing: clearly that is what it is. "And it is your home?"

jarndyceheir April 16 2008, 01:52:54 UTC

"...I suppose it is. I've been here a little over a year."

mestika April 16 2008, 02:12:14 UTC

Jewel looks quietly regretful for a moment.

jarndyceheir April 16 2008, 02:13:59 UTC

"I'm sorry."

mestika April 16 2008, 02:23:40 UTC

"I am well," stirring herself and looking at him.
