Karla's Workroom, The Estate, Sidra, Glacia, Kaeleer

[glacial_queen]

Karla sat in front of her loom, a tangled web taking shape in front of her, her eyes distant and unfocused, looking at the in between in the threads, where Craft danced and prophecy lay. An image danced in front of her, fuzzy and indistinct, but growing clearer with every thread she added. The Ebon-gray at her throat glowed with a soft inner light

Ender was out for a walk, Big Val was holed up working on her manuscript, Little Val was sleeping, and Ben was bored.

Ring, ring, Karla!

Everyone one of Karla's friends had their own ringtones, so as soon as she heard Ben's, she was lunging for her phone.

"Ben!" she cried. "Hell's fire and Mother Night, it's good to hear from you!"

[momslilassassin]

"Ender never greets me like that," Ben said, laughing. "I think the fire's gone out of our relationship."

"He never loved you the way I did," Karla told him. "When are you going to come to your senses and run away with me?"

Raven, ever the empathic eavesdropper, felt a flash of anxiousness from Karla and immediately started to make her way to workroom.

Karla? she tried to think to her friend. Raven didn't have telepathy herself, but if she opened up her thoughts and Karla was listening, she could get her message through. What is wrong?

[glacial_queen]

*Nothing immediate,* Karla sent with a pulse of reassurance. *Just had a vision. Come to my workroom when you have a chance? No rush, hon.*

[trigons_child]

Pfft. Raven had already teleported herself right outside the door. "A vision?" she said as she came inside. "Not of any danger, I hope."

Things had been relatively peaceful as of late, at least as far as she knew. But Glacia being Glacia, and Karla's uncle still out there somewhere, it surely couldn't last.

[glacial_queen]

Guess who was surprised to have Raven show up immediately? The answer was 'not Karla.'

She looked up from her seat where she was leafing through an old, leatherbound book, her tangled web still attached to the loom. She was thinking of having Helene or Jaenelle look at it to get their interpretations as well. She was willing to bet a great deal that they'd come away with the same one as she had, but it never hurt to be sure. "No, no danger," she said. "More like...family planning, I guess."

*riiiiiiing*

Dinah had news!

[glacial_queen]

If it wasn't that Dick had manned up and asked Babs, Karla was going to come to New Gotham to kick him but good.

"If it isn't my own personal Canary!" Karla said, picking up her phone and grinning. "Kiss kiss--come to sing me some good news, darling?"

[blondecanary]

"You won your side-bet that he'd ask before Christmas!"

So no butt-kicking necessary! Besides, it was such a cute butt.

"Sunday evening he finally got the words out, I nearly fell off the balcony."

[glacial_queen]

Karla punched air. "Yessssssss! I won! I won! I mean--" she pretended to cough. "Err, rather, yaaaay, he finally asked!"

Though bwahahaha, Helena so owed her now.

"How did he ask? I need details! And I'm assuming Babs said yes, since you're still excited and not sad."
