[This is why Myri is such a good friend to keep, Mark.]

It is quite good. [She agrees.] I am most fond of this. [She scoops some straight up whipped cream on her spoon and eats it happily.]

It feels like I'm eating clouds.

[nosdacariad]

You've eaten real clouds before?

[witchwoman]

[Myri nearly chokes on her bite of ice cream.]

No! [She giggles a bit more] I just think this is what it would be like...

[nosdacariad]

OH. [ he gives an ice-cream mouth filled grin ] You know... you're probably onto something.

[witchwoman]

[Her face might hurt from smiling so much. Mark is too sweet and funny, and she just enjoys being around him.]

I just can't believe we stayed here for so long before and no one mentioned the wonderful things they can bring to the room.

[nosdacariad]

I suppose that part's nice and all. But it's kind of nice to be able to go out and get your own stuff too. See the city, walk around...

[witchwoman]

[She thinks that one over]

I never know what to do in these cities. They're so large... What do you do?

[nosdacariad]

Well, there's dinner and dancing and clubs and stores, but really I kind of just like... sightseeing. And people watching. It's so neat to just see how people... live their everyday lives, you know, when they think no one important's around to care.

[witchwoman]

[She smiles and tilts her head slightly at him.]

Perhaps I should start doing that to try to blend in more.

[nosdacariad]

Why do you wanna blend in?

[witchwoman]

We're trying to work against a group that hates Shadowkind. Don't you think it's easy to tell how much I don't belong here?

[nosdacariad]

No, you're... you're right. [ he worries his lip with his teeth for a second ] It's the only sane thing to do, isn't it, when you're up against nearly impossible odds on their side. It'd be nice to be able to walk tall and proud and make a statement about who you really are and what you stand for, but we just... don't live in that world. Yet.

[witchwoman]

Yet. [She repeats] Where I came from, 'yet' was the furthest thing from my mind. Here, though? Here, I think it's possible.

[nosdacariad]

... It won't be easy. You could die trying.

[witchwoman]

You say that like someone who's come close to that very thing.

[nosdacariad]

[ he looks up in surprise, and then quickly ducks his head again ] Or maybe I just have a good imagination.

[witchwoman]

[Myri scoops up more ice cream for herself and eats it slowly.]

Why do you get so nervous when we talk like this?

[nosdacariad]

I'm just not a big... myself... talker. About.

[witchwoman]

Oh... [She's quiet, because... Well, that makes her uneasy to talk. She knows what that's like, but being here with all of them has changed that for her. So she's upset that Mark is still uncomfortable talking about himself.]

[nosdacariad]

It's uh... just sorta boring, that's all. Not much to tell next to everyone's exciting lives around here.

[witchwoman]

In my experience, I often prefer to hear about the unexciting lives. I always wanted one of my own.

[nosdacariad]

There's definitely something to be said for the quiet life.

[witchwoman]

Well if there's something to be said, then maybe you should say something.

[Oh, that may just be a joke.]

[nosdacariad]

[ he looks startled initially, taking her very seriously and obviously a bit offended, but then he looks more closely at her expression and a smile of broken tension and relief breaks across his face. he laughs nervously and then points at her, raising his eyebrows and shaking his finger as if to say 'you got me'. ]

Ok, ok. I just uh, don't know what you'd like to know. I joined the Knights when I was pretty young. Still a teenager.

[witchwoman]

[She grins once he gets it.]

Oh, I don't know. We could trade? A story for a story?

You could start with why you joined so young.
