Dreams Made Flesh?

[ebonyjaenelle72]

A young woman enters quietly, a little uncertain what to make of this change. The building reminds her a little of SaDiablo Hall, but she can't help but notice the difference. Cautiously, she lifts her head and looks around, sapphire eyes searching the walls and hallways. "Hello?" she calls. "Papa? Yasi? Anyone?" She was on her way to the Keep and

Well, here's someone she knows, stopping and giving her a rather bewildered stare, though he'd never willingly admit it. "...Jaenelle?"

Typist: So I shall assume that means a bit of a reset for Daemon, at least in terms of Jaenelle. XD This boyo's taken from the very beginnings of Queen of the Darkness, so he's still pretty fragile and doesn't quite remember Briarwood.

Jaenelle turns, blinks, her sapphire eyes widening. A little nervously, she nods, uncertain what to do. "Daemon? Is that...yes, of course it's you. I'm sorry." She blinks, swallows, and tries to gather herself. "Where am I? I was on my way to the Keep and now..." she shrugs, still unsure what to say to him. It's been a long time - and the last time she saw him he was still lost in the Twisted Kingdom. He looks better now, but there's still a little bit of fragility in his eyes that makes her wary.

"We generally call it the Mansion. No one knows where it is." He's still staring at her -- can't really believe she's real, that this is actually happening. "Mother Night," he finally says, a little warily. "I -- ...Mother Night." Whether he's willing to admit it or not, he feels like he might fall down -- so he grabs onto a handy doorframe, still looking at Jaenelle.

She moves toward him and puts her hands on his shoulders, examining his eyes and hiding her skittishness behind muttering to herself. "Stubborn snarly male," she tells him. "You should be more careful with yourself." She looks at him, and her eyes soften a little. "Are you all right? You look a little peaky."

Curiously, "Madam?"

Typist: Linden gets to be bemused now!

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle turns and meets the eyes of a stranger, an adult male. She doesn't feel any threat from him, but instinct makes her a little wary of strangers. "Sir," she says in her midnight voice. "Greetings."

[heartofbirds]

Linden, for his part, is ever so slightly disconcerted at not being recognised, and extremely bothered at being disconcerted; his voice is steady and gentle. "Madam, are you quite all right?"

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle blinks a little. "Yes, I'm quite all right. Just a little surprised to find myself here. My arrival was quite accidental. Excuse me, but do I know you?" She adds, frowning a little. Her voice is no longer the dangerous midnight as she relaxes, a little. He seems kind enough, and she gets an odd sense of recognition from him.

Zaknafein paused in his travels towards the basement, sensing something a little odd about her (and a little familiar too, due to the company he has been known to keep in this place) himself. He nodded to her in greeting.

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle examines the newcomer, probing little psychic tendrils toward him, and returns the nod, a little puzzled. He doesn't look like anyone she knows, but maybe she has forgotten someone. She swallows and asks, "Excuse me, but who are you?"

[fightingblind]

Zaknafein feels the psychic tendrils, and his look darkens on account of it; but if she feels any thoughts they will be perfectly schooled and nearly blank.

"My name is Zaknafein. And you are?"

[ebonyjaenelle72]

She tilts her head and examines him for a few moments before answering. "Jaenelle. Do I know you?"

[dancing_warlord]

*here's an amused blink* Well, hello there, darling.

[ebonyjaenelle72]

"Prince!" Jaenelle says delightedly, and flees down the halls to embrace her friend. "You're here? Good. I was beginning to think I'd never find a familiar face."

[inventors_toy]

"Are you looking for someone?"

[ebonyjaenelle72]

"I don't know. Someone I recognize, I suppose. I'm not quite sure how I got here."

[inventors_toy]

"It's usually accidental."

[ebonyjaenelle72]

"Well, I suppose I'd better find out what I can about this place. It doesn't seem too bad, anyway."
