She heard the shot from a distance off, after she had run away. It shattered the still air with a bang!, and to Ilse, it felt that the universe itself had been shaken. She shuddered, but kept running ( Read more... )

There's a teenage boy around - he's 70 years old, really, but he looks 16 going on 17, and fairly bohemian himself. His pointy ears are almost visible under the blond hair, and he's looking about, fretfully. When he sees Ilse, he says hello, smiling a little, shyly.

"Hi."

The typist isn't sure which of the twins this is.

She looks up. "Oh! Hello!" she says as brightly as possible. She really doesn't want to bother anyone with her troubles--after all, no one listened to them back home.

He smiles a bit at her, pausing in his stride. He's probably walking back inside from a training session with Aaron, and might be sporting a blunted sword because of it.

"Are you alright?"

She eyes the sword a bit warily--she's had experience with weapons before, and they never ended well.

"Yes, I suppose I am. Just wondering how I got here, that's all."

"Oh. I understand. I'm sorry." He stops, and bows, very politely. "This is the Mansion. I came here by foot, but people come here in many different ways."

"Why are we all here, then?" she asks, smiling at his bowing.

"I don't know." He shrugs, but it's graceful. "Maybe it's a place for second chances."

"That sounds really nice," she says softly.

"Yeah, it can be." He smiles a bit, tilts his head to the side. "Hey, are you alright?"

She nods. "Yes, I'm fine. Really."

He raises a skeptical eyebrow, but doesn't insist. "Alright. Do you know where to sleep and all that?"

She shakes her head. "No. Could you show me, maybe?" she says with a small, welcoming smile.

doriath_crowned November 19 2009, 05:22:26 UTC

"Sure." He glances around again, not quite nervously, just -- atune to his surroundings. "Let's go."

She stands up, then. "I'm Ilse, by the way. What's your name?"

If she can keep this up, this pretending everything's okay, she can make it, she thinks.

doriath_crowned November 19 2009, 16:21:36 UTC

"Just call me Red." He smiles, a bit. "Come. I'll find you a nice place to stay."

"A color for a name! How curious!"
