[It's the day before the festival and there is so much to be done and Jilly was determined to rise to the occasion. This meant that the artist, who was usually a bundle of activity, was currently imitating a whirlwind as she rushed about the school trying to tie up loose ends ( Read more... )

Thanks for the warning.

[Although to be honest, as many times as Jilly is home a little late for whatever reason? He wasn't going to worry anyway.]

[voice] tehoniongirl April 21 2011, 19:59:25 UTC

Do you need me to bring anything back?

[voice] noprevaricating April 22 2011, 03:21:13 UTC

Nothing I can think of. Astonishingly, we have leftovers into next century.

[voice] tehoniongirl April 25 2011, 06:22:13 UTC

[a laugh] That's what you get for cooking enough to feed an army.

Alright, then. I don't think I'll be that late. But I'll see you in the morning if nothing else.

[voice] noprevaricating April 25 2011, 17:08:31 UTC

Don't be too late. I'll see you soon.

[action] tehoniongirl April 25 2011, 20:06:28 UTC

[she doesn't end up being so late after all, but she almost wishes she was. Later and Archie might be asleep and unable to hear the way her key fumbles in the lock until she can get it to turn. And he might be out of the way, where she wouldn't have to explain why, tonight, she doesn't forget to lock it behind her once shes' inside.]

[Archie is up, planning a lesson on the couch. He doesn't look up as she enters.]

Particularly inspired tonight, I suppose?

[action] tehoniongirl April 25 2011, 20:31:54 UTC

Inspired? [her thoughts are somewhere far away from inspiration, and they jumble a bit at the question. Turning her back on him, she focuses on hanging her jacket on the back of a chair]

I-

Not really. I guess I'm just... [she needs an excuse to just slip away, so she takes the first that comes to mind] tired. I'm a little tired.

[it's a lie. She's wound tighter than a coiled spring, but it's not the kind of energy she wants to share]

[action] noprevaricating April 25 2011, 20:53:17 UTC

[He immediately puts down the book and is by her side in a second.]

What happened?

[action] tehoniongirl April 25 2011, 21:52:48 UTC

[she jumps. She can't help it. And when she answers him, there's more irritation in her voice than she really feels, masking]

Why did something have to happen? It's been a long day. [she doesn't look at him, though. She was always rubbish at lying to her brother]

[action] noprevaricating April 25 2011, 21:56:11 UTC

Jilly. Look at me. [He reaches for her shoulder and tries to catch her eyes. He knows better. He's her twin.]

[action] tehoniongirl April 25 2011, 22:01:34 UTC

[the look she gives him attempts to be sullen, but Jilly's never really had that in her. And the connection, his hand on her shoulder, is safe. She didn't want him running out into the night to try and play hero, but it still eases some of the tension out of her to know he's there, now]

It's okay, Archie. I'm okay.

[action] noprevaricating April 25 2011, 22:04:18 UTC

[He believes her. He lets go and leans against the wall.]

What happened?

[action] tehoniongirl April 25 2011, 22:12:37 UTC

Promise you wont' overreact.

[action] noprevaricating April 25 2011, 22:25:56 UTC

I promise. [Not saying he won't react.] What happened?

[action] tehoniongirl April 25 2011, 22:30:43 UTC

I...got held up.

[she still can't believe it. It just doesn't make sense here in Luceti. That didn't happen. At least, not to her]

Someone...with a sword...
