[17:23] *curled up in a chair, reading*
[17:25] *walks into the room, looking happy as ever, humming a little tune*
[17:26] *looks up and beams* Hello, David!
[17:27] *sees her and smiles as he heads over* Jaenelle, my dear! How are you?
[17:30] Good, actually. ...my sister came here! *gleeful* And she's glad to see me!
[17:31] Oh how wonderful! It is always so good to see people we know. May I sit with you?
[17:32] Of course! *makes room* How's the engagement going? *big smile*
[17:32] *sits down and smiles* Oh very well thank you! You must meet him. We are just deciding when to hold the wedding.
[17:38] I really must. *excited gasp* Ooooh! What are you thinking?
[17:38] Lurkylurk [amydeebs@114.210.118.70.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #desperatefans
[17:39] *chuckles* Really I don't know. It's not something I've ever had to consider before. We're a bit lost.
[17:41] *purses lips* If you do spring you can have flowers.
[17:42] How very true, and I do like flowers. I like what they represent.
[17:46] *headtilt*
[17:49] I've been to a few weddings in my time, just never been such an integral part. *laughs*
[17:51] *pause, blush* Will you - do you think you could invite me?
[17:52] *smiles* My dear I'd be only too happy to.
[17:55] *happysmileheadduck* Thank you.
[17:57] We're not going to have anything large, just something intimate, not many people.
[17:58] That's the way it should be, I think.
[17:59] Exactly. We want it to be special, not a spectacle.
[18:01] *nodnod* I think it's wonderful that this is all going so well.
[18:01] Oh but listen to how I go on, I'm quite boring you I'm sure.
[18:02] No, not at all! I live to hear about my friend's joys. *smile at him*
[18:04] *beams* Well in that case I'd happily talk your ear off.
[18:05] *beams* And I'd happily listen!
[18:06] Do you know much about weddings? I'd be glad to hear any ideas.
[18:08] Not much...and only how they are in my homoe.
[18:08] *home
[18:09] [...XD]
[18:09] [I HAS GUD TYPOS, Y/Y?]
[18:09] Hmm, yes. Of course I could hardly have a church wedding, so that is out.
[18:09] [*CIRCLES Y*]
[18:10] [:D] That's true. Outside would be pretty in spring...on the big grass field that's fairly flat by the lake?
[18:12] Hmm yes, perhaps. I was thinking perhaps we might go elsewhere, though getting other people out might be a problem.
[18:15] Elsewhere?
[18:16] *nods* Yes, France, perhaps.
[18:18] *blinks* You can get out of here?
[18:20] If I didn't, don't you think there would be quite a few more dead bodies around the place? *winks*
[18:21] *...giggles* I guess so. It won't let /me/ go anywhere.
[18:22] Perhaps it doesn't think that you need to.
[18:23] That's probably it.
[18:24] I'm quite lucky, I suppose.
[18:24] I suppose so.
[18:25] Though everything I need, I have here. Everything I could want for really.
[18:26] It seems like so many people are so happy here...
[18:29] *curiously* Are you not?
[21:42] Jaenelle [elisemail9@75-165-112-230.tukw.qwest.net] has joined #desperatefans
[21:42] *goes back to snuggling David on the couch*
[21:42] *yes with the snugglin*
[21:43] *comes strolling downstairs, half skipping from the leftover giddiness from the running in the woods*
[21:43] *looks over and notices her* Ah Jaenelle! *to Nicki* Nicki dear this is my friend I was telling you about.
[21:44] Oh -- hello! *smiles politely and waves*
[21:44] Jareth [dfc@209.91.57.81] has left #desperatefans
[21:45] Oh! *beams and goes running downstairs to smile at both of them* Hello, Nicki. I've heard about you. *:D*
[21:45] I've heard much about you, too. *stands and bows politely*
[21:46] *smiles* It's nice for the two of you to finally meet. Join us Jaenelle?
[21:47] If you'd like. *finds a chair and settles in it, curling up* It is. I've been hoping to get the chance.
[21:49] So have I. I enjoy meeting David's friends. *-- most of them, anyway*\
[21:50] I've talked Jaenelle's ears off about you before now, love. Haven't I?
[21:50] I'm quite the bore, I'm sure.
[21:52] I don't think you could ever be boring. *soft kiss*
[21:53] Not at all. It's wonderful to hear about both of your happiness. *small smile and lowers her eyes slightly to hide the little bit of sentimental wateriness*
[21:54] Oh sweetheart I think most people would say I'm boring. *gentlekiss back* I'm the old man who locks himself up in a library *laughs* I'm glad I don't send you to sleep though, Jaenelle.
[21:54] I enjoy talking to you, silly.
[21:55] Well I'm glad, I enjoy talking to you too. *smiles* Nicolas, it was Jaenelle who helped me over Christmas. *with the whole human thing*
[21:56] Oh -- oh that was you? I owe you a great debt, then. Thank you for your help.
[21:56] *ducks head* It was my pleasure.
[21:56] I can never thank you enough, my dear. I shall be forever in your debt, you know that.
[21:58] *bluuushes* You don't need to be...
[21:59] Oh of course I do.
[22:02] *just looks embarrassed* It's my pleasure to help everyone, and especially friends.
[22:02] You're very kind to.
[22:03] *to Nicki* Jaenelle has quite a few members of her family her. Her brother included. Perhaps you have met them?
[22:06] I'm -- not sure. If you named names, perhaps?
[22:07] Lucivar is her brother?
[22:08] I don't think that I have, no.
[22:10] Ahh, quite a formidable character, isn't he, Jaenelle?
[22:11] Oh - *laughs* Yes, a bit.
[22:11] (Lucivar: I AM A FRIKKIN GIRL RIGHT NOW. >:(
[22:12] *to Nicki* The first time I met him I had to stop him from getting into a fight. He hated me for a while after that.
[22:13] Well - *sigh* Yeah, that sounds like Lucivar. *ruefully*
[22:14] Oh dear, he sounds... well. Formidable, yes.
[22:15] Though I believe he never much liked me after never much liking Lestat.
[22:15] TehStalkingQuietly is now known as MariusDeRomanus-StalkingChat
[22:15] *wince* Not liking is mild, I'm afraid... I don't know /why/ though.
[22:16] Well... it's Lestat, one does not always need a reason for disliking him.
[22:16] I think he quite enjoys it when people hate him. He thinks it means they love him at the same time.
[22:17] *blink* What?
[22:17] In most cases it does. *bitterly*
[22:18] *gives his hand a squeeze*
[22:18] *gently, to Jaenelle* Nicolas and Lestat knew eachother many years ago, when he was human.
[22:19] Oh... *can see how that would be odd, a little* ...dear.
[22:19] *clings closer to David, staring at his knees*
[22:20] *so as not to seem impolite, speaks to Nicki in his head* "Love I'm sorry I brought it up."
[22:20] *shakes his head and kisses his hand* "It's alright, I don't mind.
[22:20] *looks down* I'm sorry. *starts to get up* I should go-
[22:21] No -- you needn't.
[22:21] No Jaenelle, really, it's fine.
[22:21] *sits down, slowly, still looking worried*
[22:22] *reaches out and touches her hand* Really, dear. *smiles*
[22:24] LadyLucivar [elisemail9@75-165-112-230.tukw.qwest.net] has joined #desperatefans
[22:24] *gives him a careful, shy look and straightens up a little, blinking once or twice* Not all my family is so hostile, of course...Karla wants to meet you especially David, since you're friends with Armand.
[22:25] MariusDeRomanus-StalkingChat just happens to be passing through.
[22:25] *nods* Ah yes, well you usually know where to find me. *smiles*
[22:25] Oh -- Chris has told me about Karla, she sounds very nice.
[22:25] (Karla: I came up in conversation? Wheeeee! Chris likes me!)
[22:26] Karla's one of my best friends.
[22:27] Then I'm sure she is wonderful.
[22:28] *blushes* I'm very glad that she's found happiness here. And Kalush said she met you...that you were very sweet to Arianna.
[22:28] *smiles* Ah well I do love little ones.
[22:29] (Arianna: *would like to add that she thinks David and the twins are better than sliced bread*)
[22:31] He's good with children.
[22:32] Apparently so. You have a new fan.
[22:32] *would blush* Oh thank you.
[22:34] You're welcome. *smile at both of them*
[22:35] *leans his head on Nicki's shoulder* Oh I am glad the two of you could meet.
[22:36] I'm glad to get the chance to meet you. And to see the two of you together. It is absolutely delightful.
[22:37] I'm quite glad to have met you as well, mademoiselle.
[22:37] *blushes* Just Jaenelle, if you please.
[22:39] Jaenelle, then.
[22:40] *smiles, delighted* I must say I am very proud to be with Nicolas.

[20:11] *pacing a bit near the fire, being fretful*
[20:12] *comes downstairs, looking also a bit fretful* Armand?
[20:12] LadyLurksalot is now known as Wendla
[20:12] *just behind her* ---you're worrying.
[20:13] *looks up at them and smiles* Perhaps a little. *fiddling with the rings, but not taking them off*
[20:14] *comes downstairs and watches him worriedly* Something on your mind?
[20:14] *goes over and gives him a kiss* Noo, definitely. You have a worry face on.
[20:15] *kisses Karla* I... met a wizard today. A new one.
[20:16] *on her guard* Was he --- *pause* I think I met him as well. Did he treat you ill?
[20:16] *tight hug*
[20:17] *not sure which way to go actually* No, not as such. But there was a moment I thought he might try to hex me.
[20:19] *eyes flare* He /didn't/. *a little tensely*
[20:20] *frowns* *a slow nod* He - didn't feel quite right, but I didn't want to - never mind. What else?
[20:20] He didn't, and I'm glad because I'm still not sure what will happen when your protections AND Draco's meet defending against wizard's magic.
[20:20] ---oh. *a pause, thoughtful* I hadn't thought about that...you're concerned they might conflict and react badly?
[20:22] *swallows* I am. But I'm rather loathe to snatch one of them off to avoid the test, since yours is likely the stronger protector.
[20:24] *looks a tad embarrassed* I gave it the strongest protection I had... *pause* I understand. Perhaps if I...I tried, a while ago, working my magic with a wizard's...just something small, but it worked rather well, if I recall.
[20:25] What did you try?
[20:28] Levitating things...I just amplified the magic. But perhaps...I remember what it felt like.
[20:28] Are you suggesting to test it?
[20:28] I don't know. I don't want to hurt the other ring...
[20:29] What if you just...touched it? Explored the boundaries? See how it's different...maybe you could just...tie the two charms together? I don't know much about wand magic.
[20:30] *looks curious* *holds out a hand* May I? Just touch it, while you're wearing it. You won't feel anything.
[20:32] *nods*
[20:32] *touches it and starts just trying it out to see what it does when she's just touching it with some Craft, keeping Armand shielded*
[20:32] *watches, perhaps a tad anxiously
[20:33] *holding his breath despite her care*
[20:44] *would be hurt if she weren't concentrating so hard, but as it is, pulls back in a few moments and gives him a slightly shaky smile* All right. That was easy, actually...just a bit of adjustment. I can't tell exactly how the shield in the other ring works...but I keyed mine to respond to anything that it doesn't stop. And the alerts on it are still the same.
[20:44] *big sight of relief*
[20:46] *lets out his breath in a whoosh* Oh merci! *hugs Jaenelle*
[20:46] *hugs him back, looking a bit tired but smiles* You're welcome, Armand.
[20:47] Was that difficult? Should you rest? *concerned* *anxious look at Karla*
[20:48] *bites lip and looks at Jaenelle* Here- why don't you sit down and I'll go get some tea and something to eat.
[20:49] *a little weary smile at Armand* Only a little. I'm just a bit worn out in general. I'll be all right in a moment - though tea does sound nice, if you don't mind.
[20:51] Do you mind Karla? I could go instead if you want to stay here.
[20:52] Would you?
[20:53] *nod and hurries to make the tea*
[20:55] *flops her head back against the headrest* He's a dear, Karla. You couldn't be luckier.
[20:55] *blush smile* I know. Are you sure you're all right?
[20:55] *a sigh* I think so. I'm just tired lately. Papa says it's because I'm not eating enough. *little frown*
[20:56] Probably cause you aren't. You should get Christopher to make you something sweet.
[20:56] I'm eating plenty! --though something sweet would be...delicious.
[20:57] *pause* So...you're sure everything's all right? He's safe?
[20:57] *bang bang with the kettle and such*
[20:59] *a firm nod* I'm sure. I checked twice...he's safe. *a smile* Don't worry, Karla. I don't want Armand hurt either.
[20:59] *blushes* I didn't mean...sorry. I know you don't. I just...I worry.
[20:59] *dryly* It runs in the family.
[21:01] *a laugh* True, I'm afraid...even unofficial family. It's like a disease.
[21:02] *scrutinize* Take care of yourself, Sister. I don't want anyone else to worry about. *gets up and gives Jaenelle a quick hug*
[21:04] *comes back with a heavy tray of tea things*
[21:05] Oh my --thank you!
[21:06] *sets it down near the ladies* *also has slices of pound cake (from the cabinets I'm afraid)* Here you go.
[21:07] *sits back down and gives him a bright smile*
[21:07] ---Ooo. Luxuries.
[21:09] *takes a slice of pound cake and a cup of tea* Thank you.
[21:10] *waits to pour himself some tea*
[21:11] *sets the teapot back* Are you less worried now?
[21:12] I am. I didn't want to show preference for one of you or the other since his protection was so specific.
[21:15] *smilenod* I'm glad I could help.
[21:15] Thank you so much.
[21:16] *looks down and eats some pound cake*
[21:17] Not as good as what Chris could make. *about the cake*
[21:18] Well, I swear he was born with a pan in his hand.
[21:20] He has a gift. We mean to exploit it some day.
[21:21] *laughs* Exploit it deliciously.
[21:21] *lifts his tea in salute*
[21:24] *giggles and kisses his cheek*
[21:25] *blushes*
[21:26] Adorable in three people. You and Chris and Karla.
[21:26] Do you think we'll make it work? *glances shyly over at Karla*
[21:27] *nods emphatically* I couldn't understand why not.
[21:27] *blushes a bit* Well, /I/ for one hope so.
[21:28] I'm still worried for Chris. He is so shy.
[21:31] *headtilt* Maybe you just need to spend more time together...the three of you. If it helps, I can always offer to babysit Etienne...or Lucivar would, too. Or Kalush.
[21:35] He's such a sweetheart...
[21:37] He is a dear. *fondly* I want him as happy as we are.
[21:39] Me too.
[21:53] *leans against Karla*
[17:23] *curled up in a chair, reading*
[17:25] *walks into the room, looking happy as ever, humming a little tune*
[17:26] *looks up and beams* Hello, David!

[22:24] *gives him a careful, shy look and straightens up a little, blinking once or twice* Not all my family is so hostile, of course...Karla wants to meet you especially David, since you're friends with Armand.
[22:25] MariusDeRomanus-StalkingChat just happens to be passing through.
[22:25] *nods* Ah yes, well you usually know where to find me. *smiles*
[22:25] Oh -- Chris has told me about Karla, she sounds very nice.
[22:25] (Karla: I came up in conversation? Wheeeee! Chris likes me!)
[22:26] Karla's one of my best friends.
[22:27] Then I'm sure she is wonderful.
[22:28] *blushes* I'm very glad that she's found happiness here. And Kalush said she met you...that you were very sweet to Arianna.
[22:28] *smiles* Ah well I do love little ones.
[22:29] (Arianna: *would like to add that she thinks David and the twins are better than sliced bread*)
[22:31] He's good with children.
[22:32] Apparently so. You have a new fan.
[22:32] *would blush* Oh thank you.
[22:34] You're welcome. *smile at both of them*
[22:35] *leans his head on Nicki's shoulder* Oh I am glad the two of you could meet.
[22:36] I'm glad to get the chance to meet you. And to see the two of you together. It is absolutely delightful.
[22:37] I'm quite glad to have met you as well, mademoiselle.
[22:37] *blushes* Just Jaenelle, if you please.
[22:39] Jaenelle, then.
[22:40] *smiles, delighted* I must say I am very proud to be with Nicolas.

[20:11] *pacing a bit near the fire, being fretful*
[20:12] *comes downstairs, looking also a bit fretful* Armand?
[20:12] LadyLurksalot is now known as Wendla
[20:12] *just behind her* ---you're worrying.
[20:13] *looks up at them and smiles* Perhaps a little. *fiddling with the rings, but not taking them off*
[20:14] *comes downstairs and watches him worriedly* Something on your mind?
[20:14] *goes over and gives him a kiss* Noo, definitely. You have a worry face on.
[20:15] *kisses Karla* I... met a wizard today. A new one.
[20:16] *on her guard* Was he --- *pause* I think I met him as well. Did he treat you ill?
[20:16] *tight hug*
[20:17] *not sure which way to go actually* No, not as such. But there was a moment I thought he might try to hex me.
[20:19] *eyes flare* He /didn't/. *a little tensely*
[20:20] *frowns* *a slow nod* He - didn't feel quite right, but I didn't want to - never mind. What else?
[20:20] He didn't, and I'm glad because I'm still not sure what will happen when your protections AND Draco's meet defending against wizard's magic.
[20:20] ---oh. *a pause, thoughtful* I hadn't thought about that...you're concerned they might conflict and react badly?
[20:22] *swallows* I am. But I'm rather loathe to snatch one of them off to avoid the test, since yours is likely the stronger protector.
[20:24] *looks a tad embarrassed* I gave it the strongest protection I had... *pause* I understand. Perhaps if I...I tried, a while ago, working my magic with a wizard's...just something small, but it worked rather well, if I recall.
[20:25] What did you try?
[20:28] Levitating things...I just amplified the magic. But perhaps...I remember what it felt like.
[20:28] Are you suggesting to test it?
[20:28] I don't know. I don't want to hurt the other ring...
[20:29] What if you just...touched it? Explored the boundaries? See how it's different...maybe you could just...tie the two charms together? I don't know much about wand magic.
[20:30] *looks curious* *holds out a hand* May I? Just touch it, while you're wearing it. You won't feel anything.
[20:32] *nods*
[20:32] *touches it and starts just trying it out to see what it does when she's just touching it with some Craft, keeping Armand shielded*
[20:32] *watches, perhaps a tad anxiously
[20:33] *holding his breath despite her care*
[20:44] *would be hurt if she weren't concentrating so hard, but as it is, pulls back in a few moments and gives him a slightly shaky smile* All right. That was easy, actually...just a bit of adjustment. I can't tell exactly how the shield in the other ring works...but I keyed mine to respond to anything that it doesn't stop. And the alerts on it are still the same.
[20:44] *big sight of relief*
[20:46] *lets out his breath in a whoosh* Oh merci! *hugs Jaenelle*
[20:46] *hugs him back, looking a bit tired but smiles* You're welcome, Armand.
[20:47] Was that difficult? Should you rest? *concerned* *anxious look at Karla*
[20:48] *bites lip and looks at Jaenelle* Here- why don't you sit down and I'll go get some tea and something to eat.
[20:49] *a little weary smile at Armand* Only a little. I'm just a bit worn out in general. I'll be all right in a moment - though tea does sound nice, if you don't mind.
[20:51] Do you mind Karla? I could go instead if you want to stay here.
[20:52] Would you?
[20:53] *nod and hurries to make the tea*
[20:55] *flops her head back against the headrest* He's a dear, Karla. You couldn't be luckier.
[20:55] *blush smile* I know. Are you sure you're all right?
[20:55] *a sigh* I think so. I'm just tired lately. Papa says it's because I'm not eating enough. *little frown*
[20:56] Probably cause you aren't. You should get Christopher to make you something sweet.
[20:56] I'm eating plenty! --though something sweet would be...delicious.
[20:57] *pause* So...you're sure everything's all right? He's safe?
[20:57] *bang bang with the kettle and such*
[20:59] *a firm nod* I'm sure. I checked twice...he's safe. *a smile* Don't worry, Karla. I don't want Armand hurt either.
[20:59] *blushes* I didn't mean...sorry. I know you don't. I just...I worry.
[20:59] *dryly* It runs in the family.
[21:01] *a laugh* True, I'm afraid...even unofficial family. It's like a disease.
[21:02] *scrutinize* Take care of yourself, Sister. I don't want anyone else to worry about. *gets up and gives Jaenelle a quick hug*
[21:04] *comes back with a heavy tray of tea things*
[21:05] Oh my --thank you!
[21:06] *sets it down near the ladies* *also has slices of pound cake (from the cabinets I'm afraid)* Here you go.
[21:07] *sits back down and gives him a bright smile*
[21:07] ---Ooo. Luxuries.
[21:09] *takes a slice of pound cake and a cup of tea* Thank you.
[21:10] *waits to pour himself some tea*
[21:11] *sets the teapot back* Are you less worried now?
[21:12] I am. I didn't want to show preference for one of you or the other since his protection was so specific.
[21:15] *smilenod* I'm glad I could help.
[21:15] Thank you so much.
[21:16] *looks down and eats some pound cake*
[21:17] Not as good as what Chris could make. *about the cake*
[21:18] Well, I swear he was born with a pan in his hand.
[21:20] He has a gift. We mean to exploit it some day.
[21:21] *laughs* Exploit it deliciously.
[21:21] *lifts his tea in salute*
[21:24] *giggles and kisses his cheek*
[21:25] *blushes*
[21:26] Adorable in three people. You and Chris and Karla.
[21:26] Do you think we'll make it work? *glances shyly over at Karla*
[21:27] *nods emphatically* I couldn't understand why not.
[21:27] *blushes a bit* Well, /I/ for one hope so.
[21:28] I'm still worried for Chris. He is so shy.
[21:31] *headtilt* Maybe you just need to spend more time together...the three of you. If it helps, I can always offer to babysit Etienne...or Lucivar would, too. Or Kalush.
[21:35] He's such a sweetheart...
[21:37] He is a dear. *fondly* I want him as happy as we are.
[21:39] Me too.
[21:53] *leans against Karla*
