[bluffcheck]

I meant- [He stops] Nevermind.

Point is, you need to be having more fun, lass.

[celerystick]

I am having fun.

[As she lightly waves her Shakespeare book in her hand.]

[bluffcheck]

Hmm.. [He makes a small noise, not really believing her.]

So that's a pretty mark you've got there. [He gestures to her cheek.] Remember what's for?

[celerystick]

[She nods.]

I do. It marks me as an Alchemist. We protect humans from supernatural aspects in my world, namely Vampire society.

[bluffcheck]

[He was not expecting that. But since he's learned a bit about Lissa, he's not completely baffled by the vampire part.]

Protect them how? Some sort of magic?

[celerystick]

We have to keep them apart. If humans knew vampires existed...

[She shakes her head, because she's learned since coming here that things are different than what she knew.]

I grew up being taught that humans and vampires needed to be kept apart, for their safety. Their co-existence wasn't natural. So we...took steps to hide them. False police reports and autopsies, chemical compounds to make their corpses decompose rapidly, that kind of thing.

[bluffcheck]

Well, this one knows. [He puts a hand to his chest.] Are you going to have to do something about that?

[celerystick]

[She shakes her head.]

Things are different here. The tattoo is supposed to compel me not to tell people that shouldn't or don't already know, and it...hasn't.

[bluffcheck]

[Now that's interesting. Thoster tilts his head a bit.]

Have you talked to Wynn about it? Might be that he knows a bit about that sort of magic.

[celerystick]

No, but why would I want that here? To not be able to speak about what I want?

[The longer she's here, the more freeing it is to not be weighed down by it.]

[bluffcheck]

Well, no- but don't you wonder if it might... go off later?

[celerystick]

I guess you do have a point. It's just...complicated.

[bluffcheck]

How so? [And he makes himself comfortable because he's not about to just leave it at that.]

[celerystick]

I don't know. Maybe I'm just not ready to let go just yet.

[Because it's her attachment to home, a place she doesn't entirely remember.]

[bluffcheck]

There's no shame in that, lass. [His voice is slightly softer, because he can understand all that. He's kept his boat docked all this time, after all.] Just don't get yourself too lost in what was. What could be is brighter every day.
