THE NECKLACE
So... Marion was sitting the other day, trying to have a quiet think...
Me: Marion?
Marion: ...Mmmm..?
Me: Umm...
Marion: What is it?
Me: ...er... Feel like doing some crafts? Come downstairs. I'll show you my bead collection...
Marion: *surprised* ...er... Oh... Alright...
So, we went downstairs... And looked through my big box of beads.
Then, I gave Marion a bowl, with some beads to choose from...
Me: What do you think of these glass ones?
Marion: Hmmm... Those are particularly nice...
Marion: *sorting through the string of beads*
Mauricee: *shows up* mrrrp? *takes off*
Marion: Alright...
Marion: These heart-shaped ones here...
Marion: I think I've decided...
Marion: *continues to observe how the beads catch the light* ...Yes. I know which one.
Marion: Yes... It just grabs my attention...
Me: The pink one?
Marion: *frown*
Marion: No... This one...
Me: Really?
Marion: This blue one... with the flower...
Me: And, it's heart-shaped...
Me: I wouldn't have figured you for the heart-shaped blue one... Blue's MY favourite colour...
Marion: I just really like this one... It's such a deep colour... I could get lost in it... It... It calms me...
Me: *bite my lip* ... Really... Ok, no problem. So, uh... what colour seed-beads with it?
Marion: The red ones...
Me: *taken aback again* Really? They're so bold... Alright, alright...
Me: *take beads off nylon*
Me: *set out beads and tiger-tale and crimpers and clasp*
And, about 12 minutes later...
Me: *self satisfied* Voila!
Meantime... Marion seems to be "communing" with Mauricee... Well, whatever it is, Mauricee looks pretty content.
Marion: *hums* mmm... hmm. hmm. mmmmm... hmm. hmm.
Marion: *pets Mauricee* ...mmmmmmmm... hmm.. hmmmmmm!... hmm mm mmmmmm... hmmmm mmmmmmm
Mauricee: *purrs*
Me: *smile* I'm done.
Marion: mmmm... OH! Let's see.
Mauricee: *demands more petting*
Marion: Mauricee!
Mauricee: *looks disgruntled*
Marion: So, let's see it.
Mauricee: *realises that no petting is forthcoming at the moment... takes off*
Me: *hand over the necklace* Here...
Marion: *takes it*
Marion: Hmmmm...
Me: *frown* Well?
Marion: *puts it on*
Me: Well?
Marion: Hmmm...
Me: So? Need a mirror?
Marion: No. I know what it looks like...
Me: *frown* ... So then, you like it?
Marion: Yes. It'll do.
Me: *another frown* What will you do with the other bracelets and necklace? They don't exactly match this... Or, do you care?
Marion: hmmm...
Marion: I think I'll leave them for now...
