Quest 296

[Voice Post]

I, er...yes, hello again, everyone, it's so very nice to see you again! My, it's that time of the year again, isn't it? This must be our visit for the winter season, since the last one we had was, er, in the fall. It's, um, been quite some time since then, hasn't it?

...Yes, well, um. Yes. Er...

...Oh, honestly, this is ridiculous, I've never had such trouble with the visitors before--er, mostly, anyway, since there was that one time when--well, but that's beside the point. Um. It's just that there's someone here and I think he's been following me and I can't for the life of me puzzle out why, since every time I turn around he just up and disappears again! Honestly, I've never seen anything like it; normally the people who come to call are so eager to say hello. They don't usually sneak around in the shadows and turn up in nothing but glimpses wherever I go.

But, er, in any case, I am eager to say hello to people, and so please do stop by if you have a moment, since I'd like very much to visit with you if you have the time. And, er, I suppose if the person following me--or even if you aren't following me, but simply happening to turn up wherever I go on coincidence--can see this, too, then please do come out and say hello, yourself? I can't imagine why you wouldn't...

I'll be looking forward to it, very much so!


[OOC: As per usual, she's canonically from just after the end of Perils of Rosella, and with some very disjointed and vague knowledge of Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder. Not that that really means anything to anyone, but. If something comes up that I don't want her to know, I'll just have her forget it, so have a party--anything goes! HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT. Troll, threadjack, have a ball!

And of course, I am totally okay with backdating. ♥]

[Fortunately, she tends to have a way with shy boys.]

I will be, thank you. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, but it's kind of you to ask.

[bitters]

More than kind, miss. [ He nods, timid in his surety. ] Wouldn't be right to leave it alone. Have you— [ He clears his throat, politely. ] —have you no Sisters, miss?

[ The greater the cabal, the more power she had at her disposal. This is the world as Sazerac knows it, and he assumes a young woman as beautiful as Rosella must be a consummate witch. ]

[primrosella]

Sisters?

[That seems rather an odd question to ask, to her mind, since she naturally doesn't follow the logic that leads him there.]

No, I'm afraid I don't. I have a brother, but I'm afraid he's not here--or at least, er, I don't think he is. He hasn't come to see me yet, if he is.

[bitters]

Yes, miss. [ The young man nods in earnest, despite the confusion that comes at the mention of 'brothers'. ] Sisters, miss.

By rites. [ Birth means very little where he is from. Blood's worth is in that it carries power, not genetic code. And power, like food, like sustenance, can be consumed, not inherited. ]

Oh, you meant that sort of sister. No, I'm afraid I don't have any of those, either. That sort of thing is a bit rare at home, I'm afraid, and even if there had been one around, I don't think Mother and Daddy would've let me try to be one, anyway.
