[006] Truthiness

~Part One[It had been a few days since Bryn had gone on her late night stroll around the Keep grounds, and a bit longer still since she had confessed to Alex her secret. Surprisingly, nothing had gone wrong. Alex had greeted her news with joy, and most of the other guests she had run into in her other form had been rather pleasant, if not

[This post had caught his interest immediately, but he didn't reply, instead watching people's responses with interest. It's a confession that's incredibly relevant to him, after all.

Derek can't resist the urge to talk to her, that maybe the conversation will end up like the one he'd had with Alex. But he doesn't want to do it over the journals, so when he finally does give in, he heads up to where she said she'd be. He pauses, scenting the air, but - he can't smell 'cat,' not like he had with Alex.]

Uh. Hello?

[Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe she's not even here anymore.]

[Bryn was still there, playing to try and get past her slight irritability at Hawke's trolling and implying she's flat-chested (which she is).

Bryn didn't have any extra special senses in her human form, so she only became aware of Derek when he spoke up. She looked up from the harpsichord and tilted her head to the side.]

Hello...can I help you?

[sociopathicwolf]

[He takes a few steps closer, slightly unsure.]

Are you Bryn?

[Commentlog] It would help if I tagged under the right account. :T

[brynkitten]

[He looks uncertain, and so Bryn keeps her smile on her face, trying to be reassuring.]

Yes, I am. I take it you saw my last record?

[After all, she had told people to seek her here if they had questions...perhaps he had some for her?]

It takes a lot of courage to mention something so much a part of you to complete strangers. I admire you for that. [Definite warmth and understanding in Chloe's voice.] I may not be a shifter, but I know how good and kind they can be. Someone very close to me is a shifter as well, so if you need a friend, please come find me.

[brynkitten]

Oh! Well, thank you! I admit it wasn't easy, but well, my friends were very supportive and I...I didn't want to hide it if I didn't have to.

[Bryn smiles, despite the fact that she can't be seen.]

Thank you for the offer though. I'd be happy to have another friend, in any case. May I ask your name?

[ghostly_stutter]

[Chloe's smile widens in return also--if it can't be seen it can most certainly be heard.]

Those are some good friends you have, then.

I'm Chloe Saunders. It's nice to meet you, Bryn, even if it isn't in person. [She chuckles.] Oh! Have you met Alex? [Or Derek? But Chloe knew Alex was a lot more open with this than Derek ever would be.]

[brynkitten]

It's nice to meet you Chloe, and yes, actually Alex...Alex was the first person I told. He's a very good friend of mine and it seemed best to talk to first. I mean, if anyone here was to understand it would be him.

Have you been at the Keep long? I must admit I'm not sure that I've heard your voice before...

[When Bryn arrived, Joe was out the back. Pipe between his lips and hunched over the vegetable patch, the man was carefully selecting what would be used in the coming meal. To the side was a basket of what he'd already picked out, carrots and potatoes, lettuce and tomato.

Hands covered in dirt, the Keep cook was lost in thought when Bryn arrived.]

[brynkitten]

[It took a little searching, but soon enough Bryn found Joe out in the garden. Considering how long it had been since she'd last seen him, Bryn was filled with an incredibly sense of rightness that he was back in his kitchens. Of course, Bryn felt a few other things at seeing him again, but she quickly locked that down before approaching him.]

Hello, Joe.

[Bryn smiled, at this moment happier to see him than she was nervous about what she was about to tell him.]

[dontgiveafock]

[He looked up with a start at the sound of her voice, surprised at someone being there without his noticing. Joe really needed to start paying more attention to his surroundings.

He stood, dusting his hands on his pants as he went and flashed her a grin.]

Bryn! S'been a while since I seen you, lass. How are ya?

[brynkitten]

I'm good, I'm...I'm doing well enough.

[She paused a beat, and decided dancing around getting to the point didn't do anything for her nerves, and plunged straight ahead.]

I hope you don't mind but...do you have a moment? To talk?

[dreamesing]

One kitty, two kitties...

Quite a few of you, aren't there, Bryn dear?

Eames.

[brynkitten]

There were more of us before, but unfortunately they disappeared some weeks ago.

I hope this doesn't bother you...my ability, that is.

Well, my apologies then.

And no, not at all. Stranger things than known to man than that.

Though I may have to rethink the nickname 'pet' for you then.
