[mm_ceit]

In New Zealand, its May 1st and Tiwa didn't expect to find the Bar in her kitchen so she slips through on her bare feet

It has been a long while since Eleanor had found her way to the bar, and this evening she's glad of it as the weather was absolutely horrid.

Overcoat wet and dripping, she heads towards the fire and nods a polite greeting to the other young woman there.

Tiwa sings and does a few twists and turns to show off, she's very acrobatic.

Eleanor giggles. "Very useful, that is. I'll bet you can watch all kinds of going-ons without anyone suspecting you're there."

[pi_wakawaka]

That gets a lot of chirps in response before Tiwa ducks behind the couch and hops over and back to her seat,

"Its brilliant. What kind of cool stuff can you do with fire?"

[eleanors_fire]

"Well, I can make a shield, but you won't be able to see much. Hmmm..." she thinks for a moment. "I did discover one thing. Don't be afraid now."

From one second to the next, Eleanor goes from just standing there to being surrounded by flames. Well contained and controlled flames that don't harm anything. In fact, no heat can even be felt from them.

After a second or two, Eleanor actually lifts from the floor, hovering in mid-air.

(yah, I'm kinda making this one up ;) this Eleanor's gotten a lot further with her learning than she had at the end of the book)

(OOC: Very cool and seems to make sense to me, natural progression of sorts.)

Tiwa watches, her eyes bright and in the light of the fire, more feathers glint in her hair and the bird in her is easier to see.

She eases herself back down slowly, and the flames fade away to nothing. "It's not something I can do for very long," she admits, her breathing increased a bit somewhat. "It requires a lot of concentration and is quite draining, frankly."

[pi_wakawaka]

"Hard stuff tends to be but still beautiful."

[eleanors_fire]

"Thank you," she smiles. "What will you be doing at court, if I may ask?"

[pi_wakawaka]

"Not too much, its kind of an excuse for a party really and everyone's also using it to make sure that I'm alright."

[eleanors_fire]

"Beltane," she nods, "of course."

And she recalls those marks...

"Are you all right? I mean," she waves a hand towards Tiwa's arm. "I know it's none of my business, but if there is anything I can do to help, I'd be glad to."

[pi_wakawaka]

Her smile is again, rather too bright,

"They've healed as much as they're going to."

[eleanors_fire]

And now for the big question, "Can I ask what happened?"

[pi_wakawaka]

Tiwa pulls her scarf a bit tighter and says quickly,

"Got trapped in a cage."

[eleanors_fire]

"It wasn't ... done on purpose was it?" She hopes not. She knows all too well what it is like to be held against one's will.

[pi_wakawaka]

This time Tiwa's even longer to answer,

"A means to end but I was rescued."
