[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of this month.  Because not everyone is into parties, ok.  

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt. ]

[It reminds her of fire. Not the glow or the light because she can't find any, but the way it makes the air around it smudgy, that smell that lingers even after it's out, that pervasive danger telling you not to get too close.

She takes a step closer, blinking a little at his question as she comes back to the present and looks up at his smile, reflexively returning it. It doesn't occur to her not to tell the truth.]

Sometimes if I try hard enough, I can read people's auras. [There's an hint of apology in her tone. She should have asked, she thinks.]

[necessaryevil]

[ the smile falters a bit at the word ] Auras?

[lastdragomir]

[Crap. Her eyes cloud, she shouldn't have said anything.] They're colors, an energy or a life force sort of, that surround people. Like a halo, almost. Most people can't see them.

[necessaryevil]

Yeah, I... know what you mean, actually. [ and he sounds none too happy about the fact. ] I guess I was just surprised you -- [ he stops ]

Whatever you see, I probably don't wanna know, huh.

[lastdragomir]

If it was bad do you think I would still be standing here? [She takes another small step closer to prove a point.]

[necessaryevil]

[ he backs up a step in response, automatically ] Not everybody knows what's good for them.

[lastdragomir]

Obviously. [She backs up in deference to his step back, but her smile slips slightly. That's something Rose would say, one of those aggravating things any Guardian would say, as if Lissa didn't have the intelligence to figure it out on her own.]

[necessaryevil]

Sorry. I'm just ... a guy who digs his personal space.

[lastdragomir]

It's, you don't need to apologize. I should have asked first. I should go anyway, I've taken up way too much of your time.

[necessaryevil]

It's alright.

[lastdragomir]

It's not, but, thanks. And thanks, again, for the history lesson. Never going to look at Ben Franklin the same.

[necessaryevil]

[ he snorts dryly ] You're welcome.

[lastdragomir]

See you around, Max. [and with a little smile, she moves off the same way she came. She pauses before she turns the corner and tosses back, casually,] I'm sure Ben Franklin would think you're cute, too.

[Dragomir out.]
