Oh look, an Eris.

Spiffy.

Richard's cleaning up from breakfast and bumps into her.

"Oh! excuse me."

to_the_fairest1 January 12 2005, 00:26:31 UTC

She steps aside, and watches him.

Her earrings are, of course, golden apples.

"It's no problem."

She smiles.

"I haven't met you before."

He holds a hand out to her.

"I'm Richard. It's nice to meet you."

to_the_fairest1 January 12 2005, 00:30:51 UTC

She takes his hand.

Sort of.

And pulls back, leaving a plastic hand (that had shaken his just a moment before, with a good grip, hadn't it?) in his.

"I'm Eris. And likewise."

go_between January 12 2005, 00:33:02 UTC

Richard startles and shakes the plastic hand off with a yelp.

to_the_fairest1 January 12 2005, 00:36:06 UTC

It seems to like him.

And/or Thing is its idol.

It floats up to sit on his shoulder, and scritches behind his ear.

go_between January 12 2005, 00:41:29 UTC

Richard writhes and yelps and tries to flick it off.

"GET IT OFF!"

to_the_fairest1 January 12 2005, 00:44:55 UTC

And it's gone.

Eris smiles at him, a little bit sadly.

"Sorry."

go_between January 12 2005, 00:48:05 UTC

Richard pants and tries to get a hold of himself.

"Who are you?"

to_the_fairest1 January 12 2005, 00:50:02 UTC

"Eris, as I said."

Her smile hasn't changed.

"Maybe 'what' is the question you really want to ask, though."

go_between January 12 2005, 00:52:46 UTC

He nods, still catching his breath.

to_the_fairest1 January 12 2005, 00:56:15 UTC

There's a golden apple in her hand, and a small, sharp knife in the other. She starts to slice it, hands moving deftly, and it's odd: the apple looks as though it cannot decide if it is a Golden Delicious, or an apple made of gold.

"Are you at all familiar with Greek mythology, Richard?"

go_between January 12 2005, 01:00:04 UTC

He nods.

"A bit. Read some back at school."

to_the_fairest1 January 12 2005, 01:02:52 UTC

She smiles, faintly, and takes a bite from one perfect slice of one perfect apple.

"What do you know about the start of the Trojan War?"

go_between January 12 2005, 01:05:43 UTC

He smiles now.

"Aye, I've actually met Helen. She's very sweet."

to_the_fairest1 January 12 2005, 01:19:24 UTC

She chuckles, shaking her head for a moment, her attention apparently still on her apple.

Another small bite.

"Do you know how Helen got involved, kid?"
