Crackplot!

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle is playing, and Jaenelle playing is always a little dangerous, but that's all right. Because she's having fun! And so, playing with herbs and some magic, she's made a very curious illusion on the front lawn of an elegant garden, very like her own in SaDiablo Hall, water trickling over the rocks. However, a sudden noise startles her and she

Kalush is taking Arianna for a walk when she inhales some of the mist and has a moment of surprise before Arianna's gone and a little girl who looks very like Arianna but with brown hair instead of black, is standing, looking about, and looking extraordinarily worried. She sniffs, a little, and looks on the verge of crying.

"Mama? Papa? Jaenelle?"

And she might just run into a boy, about her age, who is very, very lost.

He pauses.

"Why are you crying?" Like that, blankly.

[cuddlemequeen]

She sniffs and draws herself up, gathering dignity. Well, sort of. "I'm looking for my family. Where are they?"

It sounds like a demand, because it is one.

[not_snake_bite]

He shrugs. "I don't know. I don't even know where I am, so..." a helpless gesture.

But she's pretty and crying, and so he pulls out a dubious handkerchief from his pocket. "For your nose..."

[cuddlemequeen]

She examines it and takes it with a little curtsey, the tears drying up a little as she examines him with intent curiosity. Even at this age she's still a Queen. "Thank you." She blows her nose. Loudly and without dignity.

He chuckles. "That's a nice trumpet sound." Then he sort of twists on himself because he's just a kitchen boy who's probably never seen a girl in his life before Kalush, except Fushia.

[cuddlemequeen]

She gives him a scowl. "I don't have wussy sneezes at least."

Yep. Still fierce.

[not_snake_bite]

He smiles, amused.

"I didn't say it wasn't niiiiice...." Protesting.

[cuddlemequeen]

A scowl. "You implied."

[not_snake_bite]

"Did not." Crossly.

[cuddlemequeen]

"Did so."

[not_snake_bite]

"Did not, I swear, by the Stones !"

[cuddlemequeen]

A blink. "By the what?"

[not_snake_bite]

"The Stones, of course. What do you swear by?" Confused.

[cuddlemequeen]

She thinks. "Ummm-m. The Darkness? I dunno."

[not_snake_bite]

"The Darkness?" he frowns. "Where ever are you from?"
