…Sybelle Anikin...
…He came into my life like lightning in the darkness…
.jagged and white hot.
says to ϕ₦ḁM: . I can promise you I wont poison you.. but I do tend to throw things.. .. she shot him a wink in that moment.. before he slowly moved to stand up.. she picked up the little brush.. the soap and sponges there as she gently.. very.. very gentle began to clean along the insides of her soft white thighs..she was going slow.. that sweet little bell chimed a few times .. before she felt that magical shift.. she’d blink.. placing the sponge and soaps aside.. she’d slowly move to stand there.. reaching back to turn off that water..she was curious indeed as to just what he was doing..before he came forward with the brass canister.. her brows furrowed considerably.. he handed it to her.. she cradled it there between those slender fingers of hers.. turning it this way.. and then that.. tilting her head.. she looked quite intrigues- .. Really?.. .. she’d blink hearing his explanation.. that she would find the name she would have contained within this little puzzle..- .. Oh.. I love this.. this is.. this is perfect.. .. her smile brightened considerably there as those eyes of hers just seemed to sparkle.. he had hit the nail on the head with that one.. he was on to a winner.. she thoroughly enjoyed a challenge..- .. I’ve never seen one of these before.. where on earth did you get it?.... she began to slide the letters a little and then the numbers.. of course it wouldn’t open.. not yet.. she had quite a bit of sleuthing to work on.. but it was just incredibly designed and made.. she stepped in then to wrap her arms around him .. to curl in so close to his chest there- .. she’d whisper softly against his skin.. she knew then that him and Jacob had been trying to figure out a way to get her home and that meant the world to her.. it truly did.. she did so desperately want to go back.. even if it was only for a short visit.. - .. thank you.. for everything.. I mean it.. I really do.. this.. is incredible.. You.. are incredible.. .. she slowly pulled away from the hug when he wrapped her up in a big fluffy towel.. - .. Ill be up in a moment.. .. she nodded.. smiling when he said he had picked out a dress for her.. and would she wear it for him.. that they would be going into town to see Rose and Jacob.. if she wanted.. that all she had to say was no.. it would be her choice- .. I appreciate it.. really I do.. .. she captured her lower lip.. looking up from the puzzle piece to him.. as he walked out of the room to get dressed.. she turned her attention to the cryptograph for a moment longer.. just brushing her fingers across it.. she was determined in that instant to have it solved.. well.. not in that moment.. but she would solve it yes!.. she wrapped that towel a little tighter about her little body.. finishing off that cigarette and seemingly getting an attack of the giggles about.. well nothing in particular.. perhaps it was the way the sunlight was resting upon the stairs?.. it was making up some pretty awesome patterns.. and she just lost it.. it took her quite a while to get up those stairs.. having forgotten if she was going up.. or back down.. having retaken her steps a few times before she would finally move into the kitchen.. through into the lounge.. she’d call out to him.. wondering where he had gotten to.. because for some reason she had managed to get lost in the bathroom.. when he would lead her out.. in her own cackling little way.. like an old hen she would step back into the spare room with him.. only then noticing just how he was dressed and her jaw just dropped..he was gorgeous in that.. she had to admit to herself and if she had the ability to use all her facilities she probably would have given him such a nice compliment.. but.. not when her mind was so foggy - ..You Sir.. are.. stunning.. .. she nodded.. it was all very over dramatized before she would just fall into a fit of giggles..dropping that towel there.. she’d cross the room toward the dress he had layed out for her.. she’d tilt her head.. this way and that.. before she’d smile- .. is this mine?.. oh it’s beautiful.. thankyou.. .. she’d blink a few times.. oh she was just.. so out of it.. perhaps he shouldn’t have allowed her to finish off that entire cigarette on her own? Like he said he wasn’t going to?.. she sunk down to sit there upon the bed.. that sweet swell of her ass perching just nicely upon the edge as she slid on a pretty pair of plum coloured panties.. wriggling those wee little hips of hers in the process.. she’d have a bit of trouble.. they’d get caught on invisible things every so often but they soon settled just nicely there..encasing her ass tightly..the garter belt would follow.. the ribbons that hung down with clips upon their ends took her attention for a short while.. she flicked them about with her fingers as she got a little.. distracted...before she’d bend down.. cleanly there at the waist as she began to slowly draw those stockings up her legs.. past those tiny ankles.. her calves.. those shapely thighs.. it would take some doing but she would have those stockings connected and held up by those clips.. she slide the bra through her arms.. backing up to him there to get him to fasten it behind her.. fluttering those long dark lashes to convince him to do so.. else he had to have known they’d be there for a good solid hour while she attempted it..sliding her hands down into that bra then to adjust.. to get those perky quite well rounded breasts of hers into position.. they were still perhaps a little full.. from this morning.. heavier than they would be normally and it showed with how they filled that bra .. placing her hands down on her hips there she would turn to look to him- . there.. shall we go?!.... was she serious?.. was she ready to head out the door without her dress?.. quite possibly so - .. Oh!.. dress.. yes.. oops.. .. she stepped into it.. wriggling it a little till it slid into place.. hugging her petite frame.. sliding her feet into those wee little flats.. - .. there.. that’s better

says to .°.a sky full of stars.°: *He was honestly glad she let him get it all out, it was damn hard to get it all out honestly, as bad as pulling teeth for him really. No… pulling teeth was a lot easier actually, and far less revealing. Hurt less too. It was hard for him to be so raw, so exposed like that, to just admit it all. Still, he knew it was something he should do, not for just her but himself too. Admitting he had issues was the first step to fixing them, and he really wanted to be better, to do this right. He wouldn’t let that blonde bitch in the cave prove him wrong, that he destroyed everything, just turned it all to shit… He couldn’t… not any more… Not when he finally learned what love was, what it was like to have a family, even more so to want one. When he was done, he handed her that cigarette she had wanted in the tub, lighting it up for her before she spoke. He chuckled softly there, looking at her there, those blue eye just a bit hooded.*”You’re really lucky in a way… Someone cared enough to give you that information… You don’t even realize how much you are teaching me right now, just by telling me these things, these bits of wisdom others have given you… But I wonder… Does this mean that you can’t go a day without thinking about me? Hmm?”*He would wink at her there, seeing the way she was smiling, taking another drag. Her words were nice, he had to admit, they were an amazing balm to what had become a very raw part of himself during his talk. He did shake his head a bit there though, reaching out to her as she wrapped her arms about his neck, resting his hands on her hips. He went into that kiss there, parting his lips over hers, taking that smoke into his own lungs despite knowing he really shouldn’t be getting any higher than he already was. He would hold it there for a moment before exhaling slowly through his nose, letting it curl there as he got an extra sort of high through that action.*”You know…you go ahead and be that square peg… I’ll just become a bigger circle so you can slide though. As for wanting me… You’ve had me Sybelle, all along… You just didn’t know it, that’s all.”*He had gotten up then, laughing when she did admit to throwing things, causing him to look over his shoulder at her.*”Well, if you did try to poison me, you’d fail. I’m immune to most of the stuff thankfully… But I can be hit… So if you want to throw something at me, you go right ahead, just don’t throw any antiques I beg you. Some of those things are hard to find and you just can’t fix them, it depreciates the value of them! But by all means, give the frying pan a go some day, I want to see you try to lift one of them…”*He laughed, turning his back to her again as she continued to wash herself, summoning her ring and that little cryptographer. He popped the lid open and put the ring in it’s little lavender bag inside the canister, setting the code and closing that lid. There was only five rows of letters there, and though there was the a-z and the 0-9, at least there was only so many things she could make with it. It would certainly keep her busy though, and it would give him a chance to use the time there, to find a way to get to Arvandor. He had never been there, it was a spot in the stars he had yet to visit, and he had no idea how to get there. He could try a solo trip… entering the realm there, to see the local deities, explain the purpose for his visit… The truth of it all, was that he knew that out of many and more of the races, the Elves’ Gods were still very alive, very active in their people’s lives. He would have to run everything by them before he even tried to bring Sybelle over, if only so that he didn’t cause an outright war between them and himself, because he was not allowed in….most places. Still, it was an option he had, and he felt that if he explain it all they had at least a chance. He had to do something though, because he wanted to establish at least some sort of a line, a chance for her to go home whenever she wanted to. He had turned around then, and handed her that brass cylinder, telling her what it was, what it would mean when she managed to open it. He chuckled at her question there, nodding his head, standing back as he watched her turn it this way and that. It was simple in design, there was a bit of artwork about the lids, but that was as far as it went. When she asked where he got it, he smiled down at her there, shrugging his shoulders lightly.*”Another planet, not too different from this one, where they look at things a bit differently is all… It was used to send very important messages between certain people, when the secrets inside were too special to trust to just anyone, and secrecy was needed. If you try to break the lid off, rather than answer the puzzle, there is a vial of acid inside that melts down what is inside the canister so the secret never gets revealed. Quite ingenious really, I adored it when I saw it, so I had to have it. When I realized how much you like to puzzle things out and keep that mind of yours busy, I thought it was the prefect ring box, just for you…”*He watched her step in closer to him, to wrap her arms about him, snuggling up. He just smiled when she said he was incredible, shaking his head softly there, planting a kiss to the top of her damp little head.*”I am what is around me… I give what I am given, and you make me happy Sybelle, of course I want to give you the same… By the way, I wanted to tell you…. Jacob wants me to take the Father role in his wedding to Rose.. You were right, I am going to be quite busy indeed, there is a lot to do… I’m glad though, I really am, to be seen as such by Jacob… He is a good kid… No… He is a good young man… I just have a whole lot to learn about, but I think if you promise to give me an hour a night and tell me what you can remember, I shouldn’t make too big of an ass out of myself. Can’t go and ruin my first big job as Jacobs dad, and I certainly can’t be an ass at his wedding, you and Rose would kill me.”*He wrapped her up in that big thirsty towel then, planting another kiss to the top of her head, before he moved away to head up and get dressed. He heard her say she would be up in a moment, and he nodded his head, heading up those stairs.*

says to .°.a sky full of stars.°: *He had no idea that she was completely and utterly stoned out of her pretty little gourd, he hadn’t heard her giggle fit, or he would have known long before she got lost in the bathroom. He definitely shouldn’t have given her that cigarette, but when she had talked about it in the pool, he had literally thought that she was at least a comfortable user. Jacob he had limited, because he knew it was the boys first time, and he didn’t want him completely foxed the first go. When she called for him, asking him to help her out of that bathroom, oh man, he knew he had messed up bad. He couldn’t help the chuckles he kept down though, his shoulders shaking from the silent laughter, oh she was so stoned right now! He had thought to take her riding, there was Jacobs horse there after all, and the beast seemed placid enough for Sybelle to handle. Now though? Fuck no. They were waking. Even if he had her in the saddle infront of him, her giggles would set the bastard off, and he would have to fight just to keep it under control. He paused when she said he looked stunning, the way she put so much emphasis on each word, the pauses in between. Oh God help him… Don’t let him laugh.. He smiled at her, giving her a slight bow there, taking her hand and turning it over, kissing the palm.*”Well, I have to do my best, I will have the most beautiful woman in the world on my arm. I have to at least look semi-good next to her!”*He would have left her in privacy to get dressed, normally that was what he did anyways, but he was afraid if he did, she would walk out with her panties on her head or something..*”Yes, I thought the coloring, the patter, was a nice match for you. The cut is simple, but its perfect for the weather today, and it gives you plenty of room for your legs so you can move about how you want to…”*Aand…. Did she… Was she… Oh fucking hell. He hadn’t thought she would ever wear garters but nope, she had to go and prove him wrong, and they were really…. Really sexy… He had to turn away from her there, clearing his throat softly, hands in his pockets. He had JUST made love to her about two hours ago, and already she was getting him half hard, just by putting on her underwear. He had to knock it off, he knew he did, or she was going to be getting really uncomfortable soon. Hell, if anything she was already getting tender, there was no way she couldn’t be. Hell, even HE was getting a bit junked, and he swore his balls were out for restocking and he would be shooting blank. He looked over his shoulder…to see her sliding those thigh highs up… and he groaned. He clenched his jaw there, looking at the pretty white walls of the cabin, the little bits of artwork that Rose had decided to put up. He saw little flower clippings pressed flat, with her feminine handwriting on it describing the name of the flower and it’s uses, as well as the meaning behind the name. There were plaques of butterflies pinned there as well, big beautiful things with indigo blue wings, moths of pink and gold, little white ones with the black dots on the ends. It was helping… it got his mind somewhat out of the lusty haze it was dipping into… He heard her ask for help then, to aid her in getting her bra on, and his cheek twitched. Yes, he was actually twitching, she was putting him through hell right now and she didn’t even know it. He just groaned there in the back of his throat, steeling his reserve, keeping his eyes on her face. Don’t look… Don’t notice those beautiful breasts, full and perky…. Don’t remember that they hadn’t been fully drained… Don’t think about how good they taste and how badly he wanted to latch on and finish them off… He had the back latched instantly for her, running his fingers up along the straps so they set straight and no kinks in the fabric to bite into her pretty shoulders. When she asked if they could go, his brow raised and he looked at her, blinking in silence… Surely…*”Baby love… You need uh… a bit more clothing… As lovely as that set is, I don’t think I want anyone else to see you in it, if you’ll let me be greedy enough to keep it that way….”*He smiled softly, letting her get that dress and slide it over her head, slipping her feet into her flats there. He nodded his head, holding out his arm to her, offering it for her to lean on as he would escort her to town.*”You my dear, look prettier than the sunrise… Shall we go and meet up with Rose and Jacob?”*He would escort her out of the house then, and normally he would have locked up the cabin for Jacob and Rose, but he had no idea of they had the keys on them… Then again, it wasn’t as if he couldn’t pick the lock…. He turned the bolt then, and turned down the steps, making sure he didn’t move too fast so Sybelle could match him up alright. He talked with her as they walked, taking frequent pauses there as she had her attention caught by every little thing, very much like a raven or crow.*”So sweetheart… Let’s get that brain of yours working? Why don’t you tell me what my job will be, as Jacobs father, in his wedding? Is there anything specific I need to provide? Or is my presence going to be enough? Do I need to learn elvish, or will English be alright? What is your place going to be? Did Rose ask you to help?”*He would just ask those as they walked along, keeping her mind active, trying to work those drugs out of her system as much as he could before they reached town.*

says to .°.a sky full of stars.°: *Then they did get there though, he was surprised by what he saw, and what he was hearing. He stilled by one of the groups there, plenty of young men seeming all sorts of excited, blood running hot. He looked at Sybelle there, and smiled down at her reassuringly, guiding her through the multiple crowds. He was about to take her down Cottage Hill Street when he was stopped by a smartly uniformed man of about fifty or so years, but still fit for his age. He saw the salute from the older man, and returned it in kind, his heels snapping together on instinct.*”Colonel VonKunth! His Majesty the King has ordered all able bodies in the royal army to check in at base, Sir! There is to be a war, and naturally, you have been called to duty.”* He would be handed the slip then, looking over it, seeing that it was the same thing different day sort of paper. He nodded his head to the other man then, waving him off, drawing Sybelle in even closer.*”Attend to your duties man, I will see you at Base in a fortnight. If anyone comes to my property before then, be advised that the fool idiotic enough to disturb me, will be flogged for it. Good day.”*With that, he pulled Sybelle along beside him, seeking out the silent side street that the Library was located on. He knew Sybelle would have her questions, so he beat her to the punch as it were, wrapping his arm about her shoulders.*”Firstly, don’t you worry your pretty little head love, it’s probably nothing… These stupid humans always threaten war when times are tough, it keeps the population from rioting when there isn’t any food. I will probably be called out to look over the training of the green boys, make sure that everything is running as it should, and be home with you in a few days… So lets not worry about it ok? We’re going to have a nice lunch with Jacob and Rose and little Pia, we will have your nice little day of shopping if you want it, and then head home for our last night with them. After that, we will be home and we can relax infront of the fire and just snuggle up, and I’ll tell you stories of my very misspent youth… sound good?”

says to ϕ₦ḁM: ..she was indeed as high as a kite..normally she wouldn’t have fallen quite so hard.. but the pregnancy was doing quite a number on her.. and it was highly possible there was a little.. internal inference going on there.. but he had found her.. running her fingers along the patterns on the walls in the bathroom.. leading her back out and into the bedroom.. she had complimented him on his current choice of outfit.. he did look quite smashing indeed..she tilted her head when he said he would have the most beautiful woman in the world on his arm.. that he had to look at least semi-good standing next to her- .. Oh!.. Oh.. right.. yes.. of course.. .. she nodded.. chewing upon the grin that was there upon her pretty little features.. - .. Well.. you shall have to introduce us then!.. especially if she is as pretty as you say she is.. .. he remained there in the room with her as she fought with the lingerie just a little.. sliding into those tight little plum coloured panties.. the garter belt sat nicely upon the curves of her hips.. those thigh high stockings slowly slid up those long perfectly lean legs.. she was completely oblivious to his mind wandering.. to all those naughty little thoughts he was struggling so hard with.. she was off in her own little fairy tale.. seeing all manner of colours that weren’t really there.. forcing her to just fall into a fit of giggles every so often for no apparent reason what so ever.. she asked for his help with her bra and he did it with such speed and accuracy- .. You’ve done that before!.. .. her gaze narrowed just a little as she stood there before him.. poking his chest with a single pointed finger- .. Havent you!?.... before she would just bust up once more.. sliding into that wee little dress he had picked out for her.. smoothing it down as she slid into those tiny flat glittery flats.. glancing down at them.. finding herself instantly distracted by their sparkling in the rooms low lighting.. she filled out that dress perfectly.. he had done quite well picking it out for her.. it no doubt helped that her bust was a touch on the tighter side than it would have been normally..something she might have to deal with later.. or.. perhaps ask someone to help her with it.. she probably would have then if she’d thought of it.. and put him in a right state of bother.. she felt her cheeks flush when he complimented her then.. saying she looked prettier than the sunrise.. she smoothed her hands down the front of her dress there and she gave him such a quaint adorable little curtsey.. before she slid her hand into his and they moved to step out of the house.. and it would be then that she would give him a run for his money.. she did stop.. and often.. looking at the flowers.. the shiny pebbles.. she’d just pause there.. mesmersized by the look of the long grasses blowing in the breeze.. the way they looked like waves in the ocean… he tried his best to ply her with questions to get her brain working.. so she did after a while fall into step with him.. toddling along there beside him with her small hand in his.. - .. Ohhh.. well.. you will have several jobs really.. you wont need to learn fluent elvish but it will help .. so you can understand a lot of what is being said.. you will have to do a bit of talking.. speeches.. you will have a few parts in the ceremony.. you will hold the ribbons for the handfasting.. you will have the honour of offering up the groom to the bride.. . she tilted her head with a smile- I will have a few things to do.. but you will have so much more!.. so get to studying my dear.. .. she’d nudge his side with her elbow before she would get lost in another fit of the most girlish giggles- .. Oh.. and.. you have to organise his little send off.. before he gets married.. .. she nodded- .. take him somewhere.. away.. far.. far away.. and do.. silly things..that he probably wouldn’t normally do.. .. she nodded.. she was referring to the boys bachelor party.. she figured.. he’d no doubt have a good idea to take Jacob somewhere and he’d look after Jacob.. she knew she could trust him.. even when she was off her nut like this.. - .. Rose asked me a little bit of advice yes.. .. she nodded with a smile. they soon approached the village proper.. her laughter and light headedness had settled down maybe just a little more than earlier.. she was still outrageously bubbly.. but at least she wasn’t stopping to stare at everything.. and she wasn’t laughing at nothing and all things invisible.. she noticed all the people.. the groups.. the soldiers.. she leant in a little bit closer to him in that instant.. the grip upon his hand tightened enough for him to notice.. she remained silent for the most part.. just being easily lead along by him through the groups of people.. her brows had furrowed.. she looked.. uneasy.. and quite uncomfortable.. her attention was elsewhere when the uniformed man approached him.. so she missed the shared salutes.. and the words that soon followed.. she blinked a little.. turning then when she heard the soldier say something about him being called to duty.. well her mouth dropped slightly ajar with that.. and her breath stilled.. her attention then focused upon the paper he was handed.. before he would begin to tug her down the side street that the library was on.. - .. whats happening?...I.... hesitation as she went to release his hand only to think better of it a moment later as she spotted another group of soldiers head down the road they were actually on.. so she stepped in that little bit closer- .. I don’t understand.. .. she looked up to him there.. she listened when he said it was all probably nothing.. that humans threatened war often.. and then something about population.. she wasn’t really listening.. her eyes had glazed over a little.. - ..you’re going away?.... she blinked.. that’s all she really took from all that he had just spoken.. before he said something about lunch with Jacob, Rose and Pia.. before they would all head home.. she just nodded her little head.. and.. decidedly fell quiet.. suddenly feeling quite sober indeed-

: Sybelle)*He honestly felt so damned bad seeing how high she was, she hadn’t been that bad down in the tub after all, he thought she would be fine. Apparently poor thing had a bit of a creeper effect on her, and it had all hit her system hard, just later than it would have his own. When he found her tracing the wallpaper like it held all the mysteries of the universe, he knew she was tossed, and badly too. He had taken her back to the room there, and was put through hell watching her get dressed, playing with the sweet little ribbons on those garters was just fucking KILLING him. He had complimented her after she said he looked good, calling her the most beautiful woman in the world, only for that little minx to make a smart ass reply. It was almost impossible to compliment her, she always turned it around, but it was so cute it’d didn’t bug him like it might have others. Still if she wanted to play, well, who was he to turn her down.*”Of course, I can’t really leave you out of it, after all… She is the one who stole my heart…”*He would walk over to the counter there, and pick up a silver backed hand mirror, coming to stand behind her he held it up so that she could see her face in it.*”See that lovely woman in the mirror right there? She is, to me, the most beautiful woman in the world. Not just because of her outer looks, though those are enough to make an angel weep, but because of her insides. She can be a pain in the butt sometimes, she’s cheeky, teasing… But she also makes me laugh, she makes me smile, she makes me see the good in the world through her eyes… She always wants the best for everyone, she couldn’t hurt a fly even if it was bothering her, and she is probably the most loving little thing I have ever met… She’s smart, she has a very keen intellect, and not much gets by her… She adores going on adventures, and making me chase her all over the place, leaving me little trails in the form of notes or knickers…”*He gently slid his fingers under her chin, to make sure she kept her eyes on her reflection there, gently rubbing his thumb along her jaw.*”She has made me, the happiest person in the entire world, because she told me she would be my wife… Because she is generous and loving, sharing her body with me, giving me the ultimate gift of life… This beautiful lavender haired woman, this sweet, amazing, wonderful creature born of spun sugar and candied violets… She is the only reason I would come back from the dead… The only person I want to spend my life with… To be the mother of my children… and to spend every single year of life we have together… Where she goes, I go… When she goes, I go too… Not a moment will I remain after she has left… She is Sybelle Anikin, the love of my life, and my one true soul mate… The most beautiful woman in the world… Even if she can’t see it.”*He would kiss her temple then, putting the mirror back down on the counter, gently running his fingers along her cheek before he let her finish getting dressed. When she asked him to help her get that bra on, he did it as quickly as he could, being around her in such a state with those knickers was going to be too much of a temptation. He saw her round on him there, narrowing her gaze at him, poking him in the chest saying he had done it before. He started to laugh then, oh hell as if he could help it?!*”Well Hell and Damnation Sybelle, I sure as shit didn’t come to you as a virgin honey! If you are good, later on I’m going to show you that I can take it off with my teeth too… Now stop being so minxy, and get your pretty butt dressed.”*He waited with his back to her until she was dressed, and she did look like such a dream in that pretty little water color dress there, the colors suiting her pastel beauty perfectly. To him, she did look prettier than a sunrise, she looked prettier than anything really. He smiled at her curtsey, and returned it with a bow of his own, standing up with a smile on his face. He had escorted her out of the house then, and he knew it was going to be a long walk with her utterly foxed, but it was better for her to walk and sober up a bit. He paused each time with her, and after a bit, started to walk a bit which got her to tottle up behind him after a bit. He started to ask her random questions, just sporadically here and there, trying to keep her mind active and on reality. After a while, she had come up and slipped her hand into his, and he curled his long fingers over her pretty little paw. He listened as she informed him on what some of his duties would be, and he flinched when she said he had to give speeches, oh he SUCKED at those… Still, he would do his best… he had a year to try to write one out that would sound good after all… He felt her nudge him in the side, making him laugh as he had rather ticklish ribs, side stepping her for just a moment as she busted up into a huge set of the giggles.*”Naturally, I would hate to make an ass end out of myself, they would NEVER let me back then! I am sure Jacob has some books I can use, and I’ll get to studying then, figuring out what to do and such.” *The bachelor party though… at least that is what it sounded like to him, oh he chuckled there. Poor Jacob… if he was the one to lead that bachelor party there, Jacob would certainly have more than a few layers peeled back! *

: Sybelle)”Oh Rose is going to kill me if that’s true, but I don’t care, I will give that boy one hell of a send off! Poor kid, I’ll need to do it a couple of days before the wedding, it will take him at least that long to sober up.”*He laughed, shaking his head, and began to wonder where he would take them. Lots of options! They had gotten to the village then, the way the city was just busy as all get out, quite rare especially with the state of things as they were. He kept Sybelle very, very close to his side there, not wanting her to panic in her high state. He was stopped by a high ranking officer, saluted, and words as well as that paper were exchanged. He had drug Sybelle off to the side street as soon as he could, wanting to get her away from here. He heard her question there, and shook his head softly, waiting until they were free of other people. When they were he looked about, and found a bench between a couple of those big old oaks, and lead her to it to sit down. He took both of her hands in his, giving them a soft squeeze before he started talking to her, to try and explain things.*”Baby… I know it’s confusing, but I am going to try to give it to you, as simple as I can ok? When someone gives a man a paper like this, it means we are being called to enter the army… and a lot of the time we don’t have a choice. If I don’t go, our cabin, the house in town, our boat?... all of it would get taken by the King. We would loose everything, and I would be called a coward and stripped of my rank, and our children would be teased if we stayed here… Hell, they could throw me in jail, or kill me via firing squad… It’s not a funny thing….”*He would pause, trying to make sure she was absorbing everything, that she understood it.*”I have to go away… I don’t want to, I’m honestly afraid to… You’re in a delicate position, and I am worried about you, very much so… But if I don’t go…- Right now…I still have to check in… and I can see what is going on. The fact I got this paper like this… means Jacob probably got one too honey, and unlike me, he doesn’t have the rank I do that gives me certain liberties… But right now, let’s not worry about it, ok? If you want to run away, we can run away… Go to a place where this war isn’t even heard of, where no one knows us, and we can live in the woods by ourselves… It isn’t a forgone conclusion that I will even have to go, the war might not even happen… So don’t worry about it… Now… Think you can push all this yuck from your mind for me? Think about all the yummy food Rose probably has for us… You can ask her what she got for Pia… You can even throw books at me… Anything you want sweetie…”

says to ϕ₦ḁM: ..she had asked him if she could meet this wonderful woman he was talking about.. that she certainly did want to be introduced! Before he came over to her with that small hand mirror.. coming in behind her.. putting it before her so she could see her reflection.. she tilted her head.. looking down into it.. to be honest this would have been the first time she had seen herself since she had ‘returned’.. and had of she been in a better state of mind.. she might well have just about cried.. but her mind was so undeniably foggy.. she listened when he spoke his love for her.. how she was smart.. that she had such a keen intellect and that not much got by her.. that she loved aventures.. and making him chase her all over the place.. that she had made him the happiest person in the entire world.. that she had agreed to be his wife.. and that she was the mother of his children.. that they would be together.. forever.. and then even beyond that.. her breath caught then when he said her name and she smiled.. turning to glance back over her shoulder- .. She has the same name as Me!.. How incredibly amazing is that!.... she shot him a wink there.. his soft loving sentiments had gotten through to her.. oh yes.. they most certainly had.. and it wouldn’t be something she would forget anytime soon.. she’d reach up onto the tips of her toes as she pressed her lips to his cheek before she went back to getting herself all dressed up.. they had gone on their walk toward the village there.. she had taken her time.. smelling every flower.. turning every pebble and he had been ever.. ever so patient with her.. till she noticed all the soldiers and she practically withdrew.. curling into herself as her fingers clutched his hand.. he spoke with a man in uniform then.. and she watched the exchange of paper.. she suddenly felt quite ill.. not quite understanding what was happening.. but gaining enough from what was said that.. he would be going away.. and her little heart almost seized there in her chest.. and it wasn’t from something good like it usually was.. her brows furrowed.. he managed to guide her down into a smaller side street.. before she would settle down to sit there upon the small wooden bench.. she would watch as his hands came down to take her own.. and that.. sick feeling returned.. people only ever did this.. when they were going away.. they always sat her down.. and took her hands.. they had that look on their faces.. That look.. she trembled a little.. listening as he did his best to explain it.. she looked quite confused..- .. a piece of paper can do that?.... the giggles.. the laughter.. the smiles and the softness in her voice had all but disappeared…a mild urgency and concern had taken its place as she was desperate to understand what was happening.. she heard as he spoke saying that yes.. he would have to go.. confirming her biggest fears in that moment.. though when he said if he didn’t go they’d love the cabin.. the house.. the boat.. all of it would be seized.. she drew breath as if she were going to speak.. because frankly she couldn’t have given a damn about houses and boats or cabins.. she shook her head a little.. dragging her lower lip into her mouth there.. worrying it with her teeth.. but when he said he could be thrown in jail.. or even killed her shoulders sunk.. she looked past him then.. even as he was speaking to her.. she noticed the other groups of people that were dotted about just down the road from where she sat.. dismissing the soldiers for the moment.. just ignoring their presence.. she was now understanding why the women looked.. upset.. why some of the elders were wiping their eyes.. why many were embracing in tight hugs as if they were losing a member of the family.. because.. they were..she slowly pulled her hands from his in that moment.. her fingers lightly brushing along his palms in the process as she slid them around her mid section.. as if she were embracing herself.. she nodded to him when he told her not to worry about it.. - .. okay.. sure.. .. was her response to pushing all the yuck from her mind.. of course.. that wasn’t possible.. not even close.. she wouldn’t allow her mind to think on the food that Rose had organised.. the simple idea of it was making her feel a touch off colour.. slowly she moved to stand from that seat.. sliding her hand back into his ..she’d give it just a little squeeze- .. I don’t know where this library is.. .. she shook her head- .. so.. you perhaps better lead on.. .. she nodded.. glancing back over her shoulder catching glimpses of more of those notes being handed out.. those horrible pieces of paper that seemed to have the power to take loved ones away from their families.. she just didn’t understand it.. it wasn’t something she ever really had to deal with.. Jacob was indeed a war baby.. he was born on the brink of one.. but she died before anything come of it.. so she remembered Nothing of it.. this.. all of this was rather frightening.. and it was making her draw inward.. something that really couldn’t be helped.. here she was.. pregnant again.. and her partner was about to leave.. again.. that horrible feeling of deja vu has settled in there.. and it was making her uncomfortable.. though she had one of those awesome poker faces.. so it wouldn’t show so much on the outside.. she just sobered up.. very.. very.. very quickly.. - .. I imagine she has some very nice things for Pia.. .. she exhaled.. the thought of Jacob having to go also.. it was like a double whammy really.. everyone she was getting to know.. was leaving her.. except for Rose.. -

: Sybelle)) *He had opened up to her, allowed himself to be a bit romantic, to hold the mirror for her and tell her how he felt about her. Then that damned minx had just popped his little romance bubble, just totally shattered it, and in that moment along with everything else… She was not allowed to get high anymore, or at least, not as much as she had had. If anything, if she ever did again, he would watch her very closely! He sat the mirror down there, sliding his hands into his pockets there, watching he come in and give him a kiss on his cheek.*”Ah huh… You’re terrible minx, really, just downright terrible…”*They had left the cabin then, and he had indeed been patient with her, but he was the one who had gotten her completely blitzed in the first place. Besides, it wasn’t like it was a pain or a struggle, it was kind of cute watching her. Then they had gotten to town, things were completely backwards there, and then he had gotten the paper summoning him back to war. He had taken her the side street then, settling her down onto that bench and taking her hands, trying to explain everything to her in a way that wasn’t too complex. The fact of it all was that, this was the first time he had ever had someone to leave behind, someone who mattered and might miss him. It was fun going to war, pretending to be human by day, and going on all out slaughter fests at night. He was the bane of opposing armies, he caused plagues and pestilence, and generally had the time of his life. He had fought in multiple wars over his life honestly, and he was good as it, he was drawn to it like flies to a corpse. He couldn’t really help it either, it was a part of his nature, of who and what he was. It was so strange for him, to feel bad about something he usually enjoyed, to actually think about not going to spare her any discomfort. When she asked if a piece of paper could do that, he nodded his head, his voice low and calm.*”Yes, it can, if it is written by the king commanding the militia to reform as it were… Sweetie… please… Don’t worry about me, I have fought in more wars than I should admit to, and I always come home. I wouldn’t be gone long at all, why, you wouldn’t even notice I wasn’t there… Heck, when I come back you would probably send me off, you’re probably bored with me already!”*He tried to tease her just a bit there, to make her feel a bit more relaxed, to not be so scared… He had asked her to put it out of her mind for now, to just think about happy things, the food Rose was going to have waiting for them. He stood when she did, gently taking her hand in his, giving it a warm soft squeeze before he would lead them on again.*”Do you like books Sybelle? The library here is nice, they have a big variety of books you can borrow, a little bit of everything really… If there is anything you want to read, I am sure they would have something for you, that you can enjoy.”*It wouldn’t be long before they could see the Library ahead, up that wonderful little unique street with the interlacing oak trees that kept them nice and shaded, much quieter here. He talked to her about the things Rose might have picked out for Pia, giving him a thought, and turned to look at her there as she spoke.*”Knowing Rose’s fashion sense, I wouldn’t be surprised, Pia is probably the best dressed baby in the world, and she’s just getting started. I bet she is going to buy some of those little matching mother and daughter outfits for them, God help this village, that is probably going to be an overdose of cute…”*He forced a bit of a chuckle there, trying to make light of the moment, but really he was failing. If Jacob got a summons, things were going to be a damned mess, and he didn’t like it one damned bit. It would leave the girls at home alone, with just each other, and no one to protect them. Even worse, they were both pregnant, and the stability of either one of them wasn’t exactly the greatest at the moment. Then there was little Pia, and Rose who was going to adopt her, she would be alone with a baby to boot. There had to be something to do, but he didn’t know what it could be right now, the answer wasn’t there for him to see just yet. He would open the door for her there, waiting for her to walk in before he would follow in behind her, closing the door and only just then noticing the fact the Library’s sign said closed. That was good honestly, he was rather glad because it meant they could all talk, and not worry about anyone coming in to eavesdrop of bother them. Though with what was going on, he also doubted that anyone would be coming in, too many people were in upheaval. He saw there, in a sunny spot on the other side of the room, Rose’s blond little head in a chair.*”Go… Talk to Rose, enjoy a seat in the sun…. I am going to go find Jacob… But… don’t tell her about the papers… Jacob might not have told her, and if that’s the case, I think it’s better if we let him do it on his own…”*He would go in search of Jacob then, going up and down several Isles before finding him in the medical jargon area, sitting at the desk and pouring over a book there. He paused, almost hesitant to encroach, but his good day had gone to shit and he wasn’t exactly in a giving mood anymore. He came up to his side then, leaning down, his voice was low for the sake of privacy.*”Tell me you didn’t get called in too… Just tell me that they can’t because you are from Arvandor… And if you can’t… Then give me your slip and show me which post you are supposed to go to… I will move you to my unit, and keep you by my side through this god forsaken mess… You’re mother is pissed… No… She’s not pissed… She’s upset… How is Rose taking it? Or have you not told her? I didn’t get the chance with Sybelle, bloody idiot called me out, rank and all right there on the bloody street. As soon as I report to post, I am going to have him flogged for that idiocy…”*He paused, and looking out the window, saw a little back area with a table and chairs, set out in the little back yard there. He wanted a cigarette badly, not the drugged ones, just a good old fashioned cigarette… He motioned Jacob to follow him, and he lead them out of the building, as soon as he was out he had a cigarette in his hand and lit it. He took a drag and started pacing, for the first time it was visible just how much this hurt him, how much he hated being in this situation. If he had been home, he would have been having a fit, and half the house would have been destroyed.*”I don’t like this at All, not with leaving the girls alone, not with them being pregnant… Jesus neither one of them are stable enough to go through that alone… Especially Sybelle…”

I’m afraid my English is not so good no.. .. she shook her head.. capturing that lower lip of hers as those cheeks coloured.. she was a touch embarrassed about it.. she could speak English.. and could read dribs and drabs of it.. but.. books written in full hand.. no.. it would become a headache in no time.. she’d tried in the past but had long given up.. it’s quite possibly one of the reasons she was such a spritely little thing.. instead of cosying herself up indoors with a book.. she was forced out.. into nature to soak in it’s own perfect knowledge.. through experience.. and not the written word..- .. but I like pictures.. .. she nodded.. - . would there be something there with pictures?.. .. she looked up to him there.. she’d only ever been inside elven libraries.. and those generally held reference books by the thousands.. a sheer wealth of knowledge.. this would be a first for her.. and no doubt quite confusing.. she nodded when he spoke about Pia being the best dressed baby in the world.. that Rose would have probably ordered her all manner of outfits.. and matching ones for Mother and daughter.. she found that image a little odd in her head.. wondering why someone would want such a thing.. to be dressed the same.. it was just something that didn’t make a lot of sense.. but.. the customs upon the surface were so very different to those she knew well.. they approached the library proper.. she’d notice the sign there upon the door.. one of the few words she could read.. - .. is it supposed to be closed?.... she questioned.. before he simply went inside anyway.. she toddled along behind him.. having released the hold upon his hand.. she glanced around a little.. taking in the strong scent of old paper.. of leather and types of glue.. and of course.. plenty of dust.. she watched his line of sight there as he peered down into the corner of the room.. spotting Rose lounging in the chair.. he then asked her not to say anything about the papers and she blinked.. she nodded then.. watching as he headed off in the opposite direction.. her fingers had fallen back down to rest there at her sides as she lightly toyed with the hemline of that dress of hers.. how was she going to play this out?.. to keep that quiet and seem her usual.. chipper self.. it would be all one big fat lie.. she exhaled.. slowly wandering across the room there toward Rose.. catching glimpses of that soft blonde hair..you were facing the opposite direction.. though you may well have heard her come in.. or heard her approach.. though those tiny feet of hers barely made any sound as they connected with the polished boards beneath.. - .. Rose.. .. she tilted her head.. her arm outstretched to caress down the back of her hair.. just the part she was able to touch.. what with the hat pins and the like.. before she would come round the front there.. she’d step across to sit upon the opened window sill.. letting her legs dangle over its edge as she looked to you there.. having captured her lower lip.. she was chewing lightly upon it with her teeth.. and fidgeting just a touch with those precious little fingers of hers.. - .. it’s a beautiful day outside.. I’m surprised your not sitting out in the sunshine.. .. she pressed her back against the warm glass there.. feeling the heat at the back of her dress.. it was quite soothing really.. and smooth- ..I haven’t been in a library before.. it smells kind of .. .. she paused.. as if she was searching for the right word- .. funny.. like dust.. and leather.. .. she scrunched up her face just a little.. before her hands would fall down to rest there upon her lap.. toying with the hemline of that dress once more..- ..did you get everything done you needed to?.. in town?.... she glanced up to you.. those usually vibrant blue and green eyes of hers were a little duller.. and there was no smile there upon her face.. she looked uncomfortable.. she looked as though she were on the brink of tears.. -

says to ϕ₦ḁM: .. he had settled back there in his little book nook with his medical journals.. there was a fast growing pile of the ones he would be quite interested in borrowing.. but one in particular he wanted to read at that moment and since he had the time he leant forward in that seat of his and tilted his head down.. resting his cheek upon one palm.. those glasses reappearing there upon his face.. suiting him just perfectly.. he had become quite engrossed in it all actually.. not knowing just how long he had been in there.. so he didn’t even catch your approach.. and it wasn’t until you leant down to whisper to him that he realised you were even there..he blinked and lifted his head taking in a breath .. he blinked a few times before he realised who it was.. - .. Nautilous?.... he sunk back in the chair slowly.. reaching to take those glasses off.. letting them come down to rest there upon the open pages of the book..- .. I didn’t even hear you come in.. have you been there long?.... he exhaled when you mentioned getting called in.. and that he hoped that because he was from Arvandor that it wouldn’t be possible for him to have fallen onto the lists.. he shook his head- .. Wish I could tell you that.. but no.. . he reached into the breast pocket of his blazer there.. fishing out the folded piece of paper.. holding it out for him to take it- .. Since I studied down here.. and I work in the hospitals.. my name naturally comes up..so yeah.... he reached up.. raking his fingers back through his hair.. giving it a bit of a shake - .. Do you know whats happening? It all seems rather sudden really.. but I can’t say that I know a lot about it.. I.. just really don’t.. it’d not something I’ve been involved with before.. .. he listened when you spoke about moving him into your unit- .. you have a unit?.... his brows furrowed.. a little confused.. he knew nothing of your history afterall.. he nodded though when you spoke about Sybelle being upset about it.. he figured she would be.. and understandably so.. - .. Ahh.. well.. .. he cleared his throat.. this being his response when you asked about how Rose was taking it.. he shook his head.. his elbows came down to rest there upon his knees as he rubbed at his forehead- .. I haven’t told her no.. not yet.. she was there on the street when I was handed the paper.. but she wasn’t beside me.. though I have a feeling.. she has an inkling as to whats going on.. in the furniture store the owner spoke about the war effort and the young all being enlisted.. the look on her face when she looked to me in that moment.. .. he exhaled.. - .. not good.. .. he rubbed his lips together lightly listening when you spoke about being called out when Sybelle was right beside you.. with rank and everything right there on the street…- .. that’s a touch un professional really.. I’m surprised he didn’t call you to the side.. he must have seen Sybelle there beside you.. .. he frowned a little.. not quite understanding the soldiers end game with that one.. he slowly moved to stand when you motioned for him to follow you outside .. it took a few corridor passages before they would be out.. and he managed to take a breath once he felt that sunshine on his face.. it felt good.. he crossed the little outside brick area.. sinking down on one of those seats.. he’d watch you as you began to pace.. that cigarette being drawn from at quite a speed.. it wouldn’t last long at all.. he could tell you were indeed quite agitated and upset.. he began to lightly tap his finger upon the table top there.. nodding when you spoke about not liking the idea of leaving the girls alone- .. it is horrible timing yes.. they are both in very vulnerable positions.. .. he reached up behind him to rub against the back of his neck- .. and they need the support base behind them.. however.. there is not really a great deal that can be done?.. is there?.. .. his brows furrowed- .. I know what the paper means.. and I am honour bound to go through with its request.. .. he exhaled.. dropping his head back there.. his eyes closing over- .. the only suggestion I could possibly think of.. would be to send them back to Arvandor.. the pair of them.. but that in of itself wont be easy.. we still don’t even know if Sybelle can even go back.. .. he was growing frustrated with it..it was showing there on his face-

says to .°.a sky full of stars.°: *She was sitting there in a shadier part of the Library for the moment, under one of the water powered fans that kept everything nice and cool in the summer, a small hand held fan in her hand as she fanned herself and Pia there. They were cooling off apparently, and both she and Pia had a little bit of a flush on their cheeks, and even Pia had been taken out of her dress as she wriggled in her lap. They had gotten hot outside, over in the stable yard behind the library while Mina showed Pia off, and Rose looked over the horse flesh there. She needed a horse after all, and she had an eye for clean lines and good breeding, so the visit though impromptu was perfect. She had one saddled up, a beautiful blond Arabian with the sweetest lines she had ever seen, a white star across her forehead and a pretty black muzzle. She put her through her paces there in the yard, testing her gates in a walk, trot, gallop, and full out run. Normally she would have jumped a fence or two, to see how she handled it. But there were none here. She slid out of that saddle though when she was done, having worked up a bit of a sweat in this hot summer sun, walking her back to Mina’s lover. She smiled when he asked if she would take her, and of course she had to say yes, how could she not? She had a sweet smooth gate, and the two of them suited each other very well, they would be long time partners indeed. She signed the sale papers, and promised to send the gold along shortly, she was actually quite out after her little shopping spree. She hadn’t really brought much out after all, but her word was good, she always paid her debts. So there they were, Pia naked but for her nappy and happily shoving her fits in her mouth, while Rose fanned them both to cool off. It was then that she felt the hand at the back of her head, gently running down her hair, making her smile. Mina wouldn’t touch her like that, and Jacob was neck deep in a pile of books he was amassing, that meant her dearest friend had arrived. She looked up when Sybelle asked her name, smiling softly up at her, watching her slide about to sit in the window sill.*”Oh we just came in from there!”*She giggled softly, closing her fan down, setting it to the side out of little Pia’s reach at the moment.*”It smells old you mean? That’s a good thing, a library that smells too clean, isn’t worth the books inside it. You’ll smell leather and dust, oil and beeswax, and old paper and every now and then a bit of something burned when a book is saved from fire and ends up here….” *She would pause though, she had indeed noticed her chewing her lip there, the way she was much more restless, agitated. The longer she was sitting in front of her, the worse it was getting too, her hands just weren’t sitting still. She was watching her very, very closely when she asked that question there, if she got everything done that she needed to, and she shook her head softly.*”We almost did, really, but we got caught up here and I couldn’t bear to take Jacob away from his books, not when he loves them so much…”*She saw her look up then, and she knew something was wrong, really wrong. She picked up Pia there and settled her down into the soft chair she had been sitting it, it’s sides high and solid so she didn’t worry too much about Pia rolling out or anything like that. She walked over to her in the window sill there, reaching out to rest her hands on her cheeks, gently running her thumbs over her cheekbones.*”Sybelle, are you going to tell me what is wrong sweetheart, or am I going to have to guess? And don’t tell me nothing is, because I know something is, and I can tell so I would like it if you were honest with me, Ok? Did Nautilous do something stupid? More than he usually does? If you like, I can make him pick a switch from the tree in the yard? Even though pants, a switch hurts like blazes you know… Getting him to bend over might be hard though… You may have to chase him around a bit to catch him with it, but you’re awful quick, I am sure you could do it.”*She settled into the seat next to her in the sill, putting her arm around her little shoulders there, feeling the tense lines of her there that weren’t there before. She pulled her in to her side there, rubbing her arm softly, kissing the top of her head.*”The town is going a bit nutty today… I heard in one of the shops they were forcing a mass enlistment in the military… I am so glad Jacob is from Arvandor, they can’t make him go, and Nautilous has so much money he can buy his way out of having to go. We’re a bit lucky, our men get to stay home with us… But, I feel so sad for the women who’s men have to go, War is such a stupid, useless thing…”

I will remember that.. should I step into one.. somewhere else.. .. it made sense.. from what she could remember of the libraries back in Arvandor.. the largest one smelt very similar.. old.. and dusty.. she remembered she would always start sneezing whenever she went in there.. being told she sounded a lot like a mouse when she did so..- .. I’m glad to hear he enjoys books.. I guess.. it makes sense really.. he’d quite intelligent.. and a Doctor.. he has probably read hundreds of them.. .. she nodded once more.. she knew Jacob would have picked up on the English language probably quite quickly.. he would have had to have known it.. to be in that profession.. what with the writing on the bottles.. the manuals in the hospitals.. he had to be a certain master at it.. she was proud really.. that he had grown up so well.. like a proper young man.. he was polite.. honourable.. Garafin and Caela had certainly done him a service.. she watched you then when you lifted slowly.. placing little Pia down there upon the dip of the chair.. she sunk back a little upon that window sill when you moved to approach.. ugh.. this was hard.. she said she wouldn’t say anything.. she agreed when he asked her of it.. but.. now she was in the position of.. having to lie to Rose.. someone who she cared for a great deal.. she exhaled softly.. a slightly shakey breath in response to those fingers caressing their way across her soft cheek.. her eyes had dropped by this stage.. she was more looking at the toes upon her shoes than anything else.. and she just would not lift that gaze.. she wouldn’t.. she shook her head when you asked if Nautilous had done something wrong.. or.. more so something stupid.. - .. no.. no.. .. she cleared her throat.. that soft smooth voice of hers was crackling a little as she was having trouble dealing with all the thoughts that were circling her head.. her poor precious heart was stuttering..- .. nothing like that.. he hasn’t done anything wrong.... her fingers curled in a little tighter there as they crossed about her body proper.. she had quite a hold upon her upper arms.. she remained silent really.. after that.. she didn’t go into any further detail about what the actual problem was.. she heard you start to speak about how the town was different today.. how it had all gone a bit on the nutty side with how busy it was.. that you had heard about the mass enlistment in the military.. her heart just about leapt from her chest in that moment.. moving right up to restrict her throat.. how you were glad that Jacob was from Arvandor.. that the military couldn’t make him go.. and that Nautilous could just pay his way out of it.. which was indeed quite contradictory to what he had told her.. her brows furrowed.. she felt your arm sliding around her shoulders.. she was quite tense.. quite rigid and stiff.. she swallowed the breath that was threatening to break free and sound out a soft saddened murmur- ..tell me.. .. she took in a deeper breath then.. though it hitched on its way- . are there books.. on.. this.. war thing here?.. with pictures?.. I want to see.. .. she nodded.. sliding down from the sill then as she moved back toward where a great deal of the books were on shelves.. she had no idea what she was looking for.. the wording on the spines.. may as we have been ancient symbols for all she could understand them to be.. - .. there must be a book here.. yes?.. about it?.. .. she was clearly on the verge of tears.. her eyes had become quite glassy as she pulled out a few books.. here and there.. trying to find the one she was looking for .. if it even existed-

says to …The..Curse..Ends..Here…: Sybelle) *He was trying, he really and truly was, but he was not the best at it. If anything, he was probably one of the worse ones, not sure how in the hell to go about any of this. He was trying to get her mind off of it, trying to get her mind active at least somehow, getting it to focus on something other than what was going on right at this moment. He had asked her about books, if she liked them or not, wondering if she would enjoy her visit to the library. Her reply was good, it made her think, that meant at least for this little bubble of time, he had her attention off of the present.*”Yes sweetheart, I sadly have no books from Arvandor, we rarely get any elvish books here after all. I wish we did, I might know a bit more about what is going on in your world that the pathetic little bit I do now, or at least a bit of how to speak it.”*He heard her say that her English was not so good, and he tilted his head a bit in wonder. He could understand that… It was easier to pick up speaking a language than it was to read it, and writing it was one of the hardest parts. English was a bit of a bungled language too, it even confused people born to it, with one word having three different meanings and ways to spell it for instance. He pulled her in just a bit there if she would let him, leaning down to kiss the top of her head there, making sure he didn’t rush her steps.*”That’s alright, I know nothing of Elvish, it’s not a bad thing. English is a pain in the ass in the first place, bloody buggered language really, and the spelling is a head ache. When I first came out of Egypt, and had to learn the language, I thought they were all absolutely retarded, I really did. See, where I come from, we write our words with pictures, called hieroglyphs in English. I will have to show you my alphabet some day, and you can show me yours, and we will put it up on the walls in the babies rooms… A little bit of a project for you and me, I want to see your artwork all over the house, every color you can think of… “*Oh he was trying so, so hard to drag her out of it, he was. He smiled when she asked if there were picture books, and he nodded his head, expounding on it.*”Oh lots honestly, there are children’s books and fairy tale books that have lots of pictures in them, there are books on the native plants and animals, those also have pictures with more writing though, but there is more information there too. Then there are the scientific journals that go into a lot more detail, and the pictures are less pretty, but more…. Hmmmm… Precise… With superfine lines and such.”*He watched her face when they got close to the library, when he opened the door there, guiding her in despite the closed sign on the door. He shrugged his shoulders for a minute there, smiling at her, closing the door behind them.*”Rose probably closed the Library for lunch or something when she invited us out, it would be like her to do so, trying to keep everything nice and tidy. Speaking of Rose…”
…
*He pointed her out there, sitting on the other side of the room there, and told her to go. She knew being around him wasn’t going to help her, and if anything, Rose might be able to do more than he could. God he hoped so, he really did, because he was running out of ideas quickly. He had gone to Jacob there, seeing him buried in a mountain of books really, and quite engrossed because he hadn’t even noticed him coming up. He heard the question there, shaking his head, waving it off.*”No, not long at all honestly, we just got in. I sent Sybelle off to spend some time with Rose, I am sure lunch is going to be here soon, and I hope Rose can get her to eat…”*He had asked him if he had gotten called in, or if the fact that he was from Arvandor might have spared him the enforced listing there. The reply he got was not what he wanted to hear, his brows pulling in closer there, shaking his head.*”Fuck. Just fucking fuck.”*He ran his hand down his face there, shaking his head again, pinching the bridge of his nose before his hand dropped.*”No… and I don’t like it… Normally I hear things like this on the wind, but I admit, I haven’t been listening as much as I used to… These forced enlisting’s are never given up early or gradually, they do it hard and fast, if they don’t people would run long before they got called in. It means the military can get every drop of male blood it can get it’s hands on, regardless of anything else. As for a unit yes… I get to pick a handful of soldiers I want to follow me, an elite group if you would, men who can kill and follow directions perfectly. Usually I prefer them to have specialty skills, like you for instance, being both a Doctor and a Magic user, you are on my top list. Others are assassins, people who can melt into shadows, and walk on silent feet…. I prefer to….end wars quickly if I can… Sometimes it’s whole sale slaughter, and sometimes it’s taking out just one specific person, or a group of them. It’s always about greed though, the acquisition of property that isn’t theirs, to get at their natural resources or good posts for trade or sea ports.”*He shook his head, standing up, shoving his hands deep into his pockets as the entire thing was just nettling under his skin. He was hoping that Jacob would have been left out, but if he wasn’t, then his ass was staying in his unit. They weren’t a big one, a total of twenty men or so, but each one was skilled and utterly ruthless. They did night runs, keeping to the cover of darkness, leaving rivers of red blood in their wake. It was why he was in the rank he was, because he was a ruthless killer, and damn good at it too. He heard then that he hadn’t told Rose about it, and a part of him envied him these next few days or hours of peace he had with her, before all hell broke through.*”Your lucky… you really are… I asked Sybelle not to say anything so you are safe… Unless Rose puts two and two together… It’s hard to say, she’s a smart girl, but she might not be noticing too much with Pia in her arms. As for being called out, I have a feeling it was on purpose, and when I get my hands on that bloody bastard, I am going to flog the skin right off his back personally. That’s the problem with rank, sometimes people respect you for it, and others people envy you for it. If it’s the later, they can get down right fucking nasty, and take pot shots when they can…”

ᶲThis Old Love Has Me Bound but The New Love Cuts Deepᶲ
...
says to …The..Curse..Ends..Here…: *They had gone out then and he had started pacing, smoking on that cigarette like his life depended on it, just going a little stir crazy at the moment. He was worried to freaking DEATH about Sybelle, about not being there to keep her alive, to keep her stable. Those babies could kill her before he even got back, or Sydel would die… One of the twins could be sacrificed to maintain balance… Or she might get so sick trying to keep them all going, that she would end up doing permanent damage to herself… And what if they didn’t get back in time for the births? What if Sybelle went into labor and he wasn’t there with her, she would think it was Jacob all over again, and he couldn’t make her go through that! He was finished with that first cigarette, and starting up on a second one as he kept pacing, tramping down the grass there with his steps.*”Vulnerable?! Are you kidding? Sybelle can DIE! Jesus, it’s not as if she is carrying human babies, something like that wouldn’t put this pressure on her system… It’s because of me, MY genetics, that she started to bleed out that day! I did this to her!”*He was under the tree when he got to that part, and slammed his fist in the bark there, feeling his skin split as well as the whole tree just vibrate there. Good.. pain was good… It made him focus. He looked at the bloody smear on the tree then, and punched it in the same spot with his other hand, splitting them both evenly now. He was PISSED… worse… He was scared… and he hadn’t been scared since he was a child.*”We can buy our way out, this is all about amassing wealth and population control, and when you think about the lack of food right now it’s the perfect time for some idiot to start a damn war… I can buy our ballots, the things that make us go in, and they would have to let us go. The thing is, is that even when you guy your way out, you still have to spend some time on the front lines while they-“*He held his hands up and make the quotation sight in the air with his fingers, disgust evident on his face.*”-‘process’- our paperwork which is just a load of damn shit. The fact is, we would probably have to spend a month on the front lines, if not more, depending on who is in the militia office. Even after that, you get called a coward who didn’t have the balls to fight, a cop out. Sybelle and Rose will still be alone for that time while we are gone, and anything could happen to them during that time, and I don’t even want to think about that.”*He looked at the blood on his knuckles there, ink black and thick as tar, just pooling there. He licked them off, refusing to let Jacob see that bit, shaking his hands at the sting.*”I would love to send them there, keep them with Garafin and Caela, and out of this damned place. The thing is, your right, we don’t know if we can send her back or not. I will have to talk to Sydel, but right now, she might not even walk to talk to me. She’s probably just as pissed as Sybelle is, and if she is, Sydel won’t help me with a damn thing. She would just laugh and tell me to get to marching, puppet boy… Hell… I don’t even know if we do send her back, if her body can handle that much magic being pregnant… In all honesty Jacob, if I could, I would just drag you to this damn thing with me. You wouldn’t like it, you’d hate me for it, seeing what I can do… But I’d be able to end that god damned war before a month even passed… The longest war I was in, lasted for four days, before the enemy was obliterated. I’m not as young as I used to be, and this isn’t my original body so it might take me a bit longer, but believe me, I’d have us home in no time…”

says to .°.a sky full of stars.°: *She smiled there, just fanning her and little Pia softly, helping to cool them both down slowly. To her a library smelled like heaven, it was something she adored, and yet it was something she had not had until the later years in her life. She had been taught to read and write growing up, but it was all in Gaelic as was fitting her location and status in life. She had also been taught some Latin, though that was something she had struggled with for years because it was so very different to Gaelic, night and day really. In those years though, she had never once been to a Library, they simply did not exist in her home. Only the very wealthy had books, and being raised as she had, she had never even seen the inside of one of the big houses as they were called. When she had landed in the distant future, she had gone a little mad, and with good reason considering. She had then found the library at the Sanitarium there, and in those long weeks of solitary confinement and experiments done on her body, she had discovered the written word in English. She had taught herself to read there, and through that maintained at least a sliver of her sanity, to try and come to grips with the new world. When all had been said and done to her, her work was almost for nothing, for she woke up with a vast mental library. The internet was just a thought away, and she could download any language she wanted, able to speak it perfectly in a matter of minutes. She had hated that, it made her feel like she wasn’t even human anymore, that all her work as a child was just wasted. She smiled at her friend there, just relaxing really, waiting for lunch to be delivered while she held Pia in her lap.*”It’s ok sweetling, it’s shady right here, a bit hard to see especially with my hat on. I just started to get sweaty and I can’t really stand it, I feel so… Icky… So I brought Pia in and we have been relaxing as we cool off, I wish you could have seen her face the first time I fanned her off! She just had the most… shocked look on her face, her eyes got so wide and her mouth just opened up in a little O, it was precious!”*She had explained the smells of this library here, the way she felt that is a library smelled too clean, it wasn’t worth being in. This one was well maintained, she and Mina did a good dusting every Sunday, but it wasn’t the building that smelled but the books themselves. Like little scent cards, each book smelled unique to the place it had been made, and the person who had held it the longest. Like unique little finger prints, you could tell a lot about a person from the book they picked, the way they treated it. She tilted her head a bit there, when she said she would remember it, if she stepped into another one.*”You have not been to many Libraries before? It’s ok, I haven’t either to be honest, this is my second one… I love them personally though, they are so quiet and soothing, and I adore the way they smell… But we are all different. I am sure you feel the same way about being outside in a glen or the woods… That is your safe and quiet place, the one that makes you feel at peace, am I right?”*She was noticing though, just how her friend was, the usually bubbly woman was quite low in spirits… She couldn’t fathom what had happened to her since this morning, they had all had such a good time too, from breakfast to the time in the pool… It was worrying her, to see her so down, it was very much not like her friend. She said that Jacob was off reading at the moment, which was why she hadn’t really gotten everything done that she needed to do, but there was always time for it later. Jacob being happy, getting a little time for himself to do something he loved, that was a lot more important than the candy store.*”Don’t be silly Sybelle! There are plenty of very, very smart people who haven’t spent a single moment in a book, they learn from other places. Jacob and I… we are a little bit of book worms the both of us…. We love what we find between the covers of a book… That doesn’t make us intelligent though, just means we like to read.”*She smiled at her again, though she couldn’t get her to smile back, something really was eating away at her. She had stood up, settling little Pia in the chair there, and coming to cup Sybelle’s face. She wanted to know what was wrong, and she had asked if Nautilous had done something wrong, or more likely something stupid. She heard her voice crack when she said no, that he hadn’t done anything wrong, and she certainly hadn’t missed the way she wasn’t looking at her. She frowned softly there, not sure if she had perhaps said something to upset her or…just what. She shook her head, and decided to talk about the hub bub in town, how it was all a bit nutty at the moment. Her feelings on being a bit glad that Jacob wouldn’t have to go, and that Nautilous could buy his way out, that they would be able to stay home with them. She didn’t know about Nautilous’s position in the military, and how it might be impossible for him to buy his ballot out, that his track record was too important to be given up so easily. She had come up and pulled her into her arms then, just holding her and rubbing her hand up and down her arm, feeling how stiff and rigid she was. Was she doing something wrong? Sybelle was wound like a spring, and she wondered if she had done something this morning, perhaps she had upset her?*”Sybelle… About this morning… If I did something wrong in the bath, I am very, very sorry… I didn’t mean to upset you…”*She was quite surprised by her question then, about if she had any books, specifically with pictures of war in them. Before she knew it, Sybelle was out of her arms there, and pulling down books from the children’s area where they were sitting. She stood herself, and moved to pick up Pia, sliding her back into her pretty dress and little crochet booties there and her little flowered head band. She came to stand behind her, reaching out a hand to lightly rest it on her shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze.*”There is a book about them… and a few that have pictures…but it depends on why you want them… Or rather… what sort you are looking for… We have children’s books here that show of fairy tale wars between fairies and goblins… Or we have our historic books of real wars that have taken place over the years, with pictures of various important events and portraits of the men who fought them… Then we have books that have the images of the weapons and things that are used in war, offensively and defensively, and when they might be used… but Sybelle… why do you want to know? Why won’t you talk to me? Do you not trust me with it? That you won’t share the troubles of your heart with your friend? Can you not rely on me, even just a little? I know I am small, but I am strong…”
