What did you name them?

[cursedtobe]

[ She heaves a faint sigh, glancing at the Forge out of the corner of her eye to shake her head. ]

.. I haven't, yet.

[thenobledie]

[w/e, she isn't asking about the dream, if it's a memory or not. either way, the fear is ever present, and forcing freya into answers seems it would only make it worse.]

You should.

[cursedtobe]

[ She appeciates it. She doesn't want to talk about her dream anyway, so the quandry of ducky naming is a nice thing to focus on. ]

I should... I just haven't been able to think of a good name. [ A slight pause. ]

Maybe, Aderyn ... and Seren. [ Bird and Star. She's not the most creative person in the world. ]

[voice] 1/2

[lestrangestone]

It was foolish of you to trust them.

[voice] 2/2

[lestrangestone]

Yet they had to drug you? [peers at the screen] You're just a cowering girl.

[voice]

[cursedtobe]

[ She's a cowering girl now, but she drinks milk Bella. Milk that will help her grow big and strong and ... wait. ]

They seemed nice ...at the time. [ She makes a small noise. Cowering girl - yeah, NOW. ]

... [ She's glad that this is on voice. She feels so uncomfortable right now. ]

[voice]

[lestrangestone]

[Uncomfortable? Good! The ones that are frightened from the start are always fun.]

Most people are liars. At least I'm telling the truth when I say I'd have done the same.

But not for money. I might have drugged you for my own curiosity.

What.

[The tapping of her wand against her chin.]

Is so special, I wonder. About this...

[tap]

...cowering.

[tap]

Girl.

Re: [voice]

[cursedtobe]

[ ... she's a little worried that she's inclined to agree with that first part. Most people WERE liars. But there were some who were genuinely nice here, who... actually meant it when they said they wanted to help. For some reason. ]

... there .. there isn't anything special about me. [ Also I have a bridge for sale for a quarter and two pennies. ]

Voice

[pratservant]

[He wants to say something about the dream. But every time he starts, something tightens in his chest. So he starts with the next thing.]

How's your leg? Is it any better?

Voice

[cursedtobe]

[ There is a pause as she checks her the injury in question. She's still not quite able to put her full weight on it, but she'd always been light on her feet. ]

... a little. I found ... before this, I had some plants that are good for injuries. It helps with the pain.

Voice - Private

[pratservant]

[He swallows and switches to Private.]

Would you like me to try and heal it? With magic, I mean. Let me.

Voice - Private

[cursedtobe]

[ Hnng. She's a little leery of magic still, but she trusts Merlin at least. Still if he can heal it with magic, she'll feel tons better. ]

Yes, but I ... don't want to be a bother.

[impossibly]

[ River looks really upset. Her voice is a wavery mess. ]

It must be harder, to run by yourself.

[ she at least had had a brother, and then a ship and a sort of family. Freya had no-one to pick her up when she fell down. ]

Video.

[cursedtobe]

[ The reaction to her dream is baffling enough that Freya doesn't change her setting to Voice. Why so upset, River? ]

It's okay... I'm used to it. [ A slight pause. ] It's the way it has to be.

Video.

[impossibly]

No! That's fallacious! They can't reach us here. They won't come here, can't ask and follow and hunt.

Video.

[cursedtobe]

[ A shake of her head. ]

They can't, but there are still dangerous people in this place. And I don't want to be the one to hurt anyone here again.
