seeking one of many male protectors

Aug 16, 2008 13:24

Now that she has learned that magic appears to involve a great deal of impending doom paired with next to no ability to act, Miranda is significantly less enthused about the idea. She is in the garden now, tearing absently at a leaf, eyes downcast.

Not male protector! Number two.

Caliban has been spending more time outdoors, and that's how he happens upon her. "Oh - hey, Miranda," he says, trying for a little smile. He's troubled as well, and bad at hiding it, but he does try for her.

"Cal, sir," she says, looking up and smiling.

It's easier to smile when she does. "How're you? Haven't seen you in a while, seems like."

"O, it is not ill with me, sir. Art also well?"

"I'm - I'm good, yeah." Only the briefest slip in the smile, though Cal is bad at lying.

"You look not so," she ventures more timidly.

He blushes, embarrassed. "I was...sick. For a while."

It's even almost true!

"O, sir! I am sorry." But she cannot keep an edge of curiosity from her voice. She has never been sick before, her father's magic saw to that. "Art now well?"

Cal isn't either. Lucky benefit of his nature.

"...more or less, yeah."

He smiles a bit. "Yeah, me too."

"Yet you seem yet dispirited, sir. It doth linger with you?"

A bit of a smile. "You're observant. Yeah, I guess it does."

"That is good, sir?"

"That you're observant, you mean?"

She nods shyly.
