[The mirror opens to a scene early in the morning. Fela is near the orchard, the hills and the tops of the apple trees visible in the distance, small and quaint looking from this vantage point. There is a snake twined around one of her ankles, and when she turns at the sound of the blossoming mirror, her eyes are incredibly dark, her smile is dazed ( Read more... )

[Well she had to come see the house; it was only rude to disrespect an obvious invitation]

[It would be disrespectful! Truly it would, and Fela is waiting! She is stringing flowers peacefully, laid out in the sun in front of her little house. She hums a song that she does not remember learning, perhaps it is one of the Queen's choices, heard somewhere in the garden. Perhaps it is an old tune from her mother, she would not know.]

Knock knock?

[Yeah, that was a horrible joke]

[She never even realizes that it is meant to be a joke, but she looks up with a dreamy smile anyway.]

Hello. Have you come to visit?

If you would have me.

Yes, yes, yes. [She agrees eagerly, getting to her feet, the flowers already threaded trail after her as she leads the way over to the entrance of the house, pulling aside the curtain.

The amenities inside the house are equally as simple as what she had imagined for the outside, a wood-burning stove, a shallow sink, a rather beaten looking wooden table. They were the last vestiges of what she remembered from her own world, and she was pleased with them.

There is water boiling on the stove and the table has been laden heavily with fruits and flowers and herbs.]

Would you like anything?

[Yukari looks around, the mysterious smile never leaving her face]

Surprise me!

[This answer definitely delights Fela, it's obvious from the way her face lights up. She doesn't know much about the items in front of her, has been surviving in the gardens with Mahalia's help and by experimenting.]

Priestess Melia has told me about some of these fruits. [She explains this, chattering happily, as she gathers up a few of them, moving the bunch to the counter. She spends a moment longer poking at the various herbs and flowers she'd picked at random from the orchard, lifting them up to her nose to smell before choosing some, perhaps at random, for the tea.]

There are so many interesting new things to taste and smell here.

[From a very small cabinet beneath her counter, she takes out a wooden bowl that she puts the fruit into as she slices it.]

[Yukari watches]

They aren't familiar to you?

[She shakes her head as she slices up the pieces of fruit. Her hands are very deft with the knife, she does not know when she practiced such skills, but she supposes she must have needed them at some point before.]

It was very dry where I came from, and not much food or water at all.

[She squeezes out half a lime over the bowl of fruit, giving it a stir, before she presents it the Yukari. Fela stares at the other woman dreamily for a moment, the sonando in her system derailing her attention before she remembers to say,]

And there is not much that is familiar to me, I forget too easily.

[She turns next to the tea, a few stems of dillweed and rose petals doused under hot water.]

Oh, your memory can't be that bad.

[Fela brings the tea, raising the cup up to her lips to try it, curious to know if it tastes all right. It's certainly fragrant.]

No, I lose many things to the smoke.

Smoke?

[Can Yukari take some tea for herself?]

Re: [action] c_zacatechichi February 6 2011, 18:51:26 UTC
[Your lovely hostess would gladly offer tea, now that she has deduced it does not taste horrific. She pours out a steaming cup to it. The dishes that her mind had filled her little home with are very plain white porcelain if not made of wood.]

Yes... [Fela answers her distractedly, watching the steam curl from their drinks.] The soñando, the snakes bring it to me.

[Yukari takes the cup, and sips. She nods her head then]

They do? Is it some sort of...medicine?

Hmm. [She hums softly, reaching out to pluck up a few pieces of fruit, eating them with a look of absolute contentment When her eyes eventually dart back up to Yukari they stick there.]

The soñando opens the eyes, to see the dreaming and the shaping.

[She's halfway to reaching for a few more pieces of fruit when her hand stops, tracing patterns in the air in front of Yukari. All people have certain shapes that reveal themselves to her in this state. Those with magic and great spirits shine particularly brightly, the dips and flex of their hearts making complex patterns, as unique as a fingerprint or a lace.]
