IV. Millie Gets Homesick {text}
Is it very odd, to miss two homes? Not that I'd call Series Ten my home any longer, since I can't go back. But I miss little things. Spiced lamb, the inner part of the Temple, how the clothes felt...
Mostly, though, I miss Mother Proudfoot.
But I suppose if there's one thing I do truly miss about Series Ten, it's the heat. Everywhere else is so comparatively cold. Even at night, it was lovely and warm. The desert is supposed to be cold after sundown, but the city--or the Temple, at least--was always warm, the bricks were spelled to soak up the heat and save it for nighttime. The cats--well, except for Throgmorten, that foul beast--would crawl in with me anyway. Here and in 12-A, I've got to put warming spells on all my clothes and make them thrice as strong as a regular spell.
It's unfair rather, though, since I'll never really be able to see Series Ten. I'm almost jealous of Christopher. He got to see the city, and he didn't have to be weighed down by gold and overwhelmed by people trying to touch him to do it.
[ooc: I meant to get this up yesterday, but whateva. Millie is cursed with Citizenship Day, and she's talking about her first home, the Tenth Series in the Twelve Related Worlds. Her particular homeworld (which is PROBABLY 10-A) is a desert, and when Millie was there, she was the Living Aspect of the Goddess Asheth, a very real and not very nice goddess in her world. When she was about ten, she ran away to Christopher's world, which is her current home.]
