Is this over?

It's good of the city to remind us that we aren't at home. We probably shouldn't make the mistake of getting comfortable. I don't know about the rest of you, but it seems like whenever I do, something... happens.

[Wars. Clare vanishing. People turning into children. Speaking of which...]And I had no idea so many of you were so ( Read more... )

...are you scolding me for sparring with those two?

They did ask first, you know.

Private prescientblade August 6 2011, 05:44:50 UTC

Is there any reason why you had to indulge them?

Private yetsleeping August 6 2011, 05:56:48 UTC

Yes. I was curious.

...you must have been curious, too.

Private prescientblade August 6 2011, 06:01:17 UTC

...I was. But there was a reason why I held back.

Curiosity like that could have caused a disaster. You know how easy it is for males to slip. Did you even consider that?

It does seem that there are fewer children around.

[REPORTING FOR ROLE CALL but not addressing the issue of disappearances. She's still pretty sore about Clare, herself.]

[claymore filter!] prescientblade August 6 2011, 09:35:18 UTC

You're here. Good.

I wonder what this means for the people that were affected, though.

[claymore filter!] twoswordjuniper August 6 2011, 16:51:15 UTC

Hopefully it means they've returned to adulthood.

[claymore filter!] prescientblade August 7 2011, 08:02:22 UTC

Hopefully. Still, I can't imagine what effect that might have... if they even remember it.

[Yeah, she doesn't want to talk about Clare either.]

Teresa.

Complacency is a horrible disease, isn't it? Better to do without.

[There is an edge to his smile, a hint of it in his voice.]

Are you all right?

[Private | Video] prescientblade August 7 2011, 07:59:46 UTC

So you're back to normal, I take it. Did you enjoy yourself?

[JUST THIS FACE, ISLEY.]

I'm alive. That's all right enough for me.

[Private | Video] swordofthenorth August 7 2011, 15:40:38 UTC

I am, and it would seem that I did. Worse things could have happened, yes?

[Such a pretty face, too. A pity it looks like she's sucking on a lemon.]

Mm, we can all be grateful you're alive, then.

[Private | Video] prescientblade August 8 2011, 02:15:09 UTC

I hate to admit it, Isley, but I'm not really in the mood to go along with the pretense that you'd be upset by those worse things happening. You're obviously happier the way you are now.

The rest of it, though, I think I'll let you have.

[Yeah, she doesn't believe it. But he DID help look for Clare, so she can only be but so mean to his face.]

[There's a painful pause.]

...Thanks. I, um, I really mean it.

private prescientblade August 7 2011, 07:53:45 UTC

Why are you thanking me? I couldn't give her back to you.

private mudhair August 7 2011, 13:58:47 UTC

Just the effort. I... It's weird, I guess.

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one.

private prescientblade August 8 2011, 02:22:04 UTC

It's the least I could have done.

[Which is kind of the problem.]

The only one?

Glad I didn't change. Give me ale over milk any day.

[She lets out a soft huff of air which. might be a laugh. maybe?]

Helen, I'd truly hate to see what kind of havoc you'd cause as a child.

Video - Claymore Filter applelimber August 9 2011, 01:08:08 UTC

[That's enough for Helen to laugh - loudly.]

On second thought, maybe I wouldn't have changed so much after all. You just can't take some things away, know what I mean?
