<Michelle> ::The scene opens in one of the second story rooms of Michelle's house. Michelle is packing a few items of Temire's for storage while Meghan unpacks her own items.:: Meghan takes a few books to a shelf and places them there letting her finger linger a bit Michelle shakes her head, "I hope Aldis can convince Temire to pick up that habit. She's bright, but she'd much rather act than think." Meghan glances at Michelle "Reading?" Michelle nods her head. Meghan smiles <Meghan> I'd be glad to lend her any of mine Michelle giggles lightly, "Unless you've got a book on swordplay, or winning men's hearts I don't think she'll be interested. I suppose I'd should be thankful that she doesn't read those trashy romances that Glossaria seems to enjoy." Meghan nods "Yes you should be. I think I have one or two she might be interested in though" Michelle pulls a dress out of the closet, then holds it up to her own. Both are simple sleeves blue dress, with white petticoats, "Now did she get this modeled after mine, or did I model mine after hers?" Meghan laughs softly Meghan walks over and pulls a dress off the bed that looks similar to the ones Michelle is holding but with short sleeves and smiles Michelle finishes emptying the wardrobe then sees what Meghan holding and shakes her head, "Maybe we should get Tyl'gainia and Nacheyla ones as well and surprise all the men." Meghan laughs <Meghan> That would be fun Michelle giggles, "Let's try it." <Michelle> Out of curiosity Meghan, why did you decide to move out of Xarroch's? Meghan nods "I will talk to Nacheyla next time I see to her" Michelle shakes a finger at Meghan, "Remember, you can't let Vallel find out." <Meghan> Well I didn't want to be there too long. I have to be very dependent on Xarroch to bring me here and back. Meghan nods <Meghan> I think I'm avoiding him anyways. Michelle nods, "I can understand that." <Michelle> Why are you avoiding Vallel? Meghan sighs and sits on the corner of the bed Michelle attempts to lift the chest she filled with Temire's belongings, "Oof. I'll let Adam or Yohko move that later." Slides the chest off to the side. Michelle sits down next to Meghan, "Do you want to talk about Meghan?" <Meghan> I know that he still loves Gloss. And I talked with Kevil the other day and it seems this is all being very hard on her too. I just think the best thing to do would be to stay away and let them work things out <Michelle> What makes you think that he still loves Glossaria? <Meghan> I went to him and talked to him last Monday, after we talked. I told him how I felt. I know he cares for me, a lot. ::pauses:: but i could see it in his eyes, and feel it when he talks about her. <Michelle> Are you sure he loves her, or is it just that he's confused? Meghan glances at her <Meghan> I really think he loves her. Because he is frustrated with her, and still he feels connected to her. And he said to me that he thought he still did ::softly:: love her Michelle sighs and gathers Meghan up in a hug, "I'm sorry Meghan. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better." Meghan leans against Michelle <Meghan> I know you do, and I appreciate that more than you know. <Meghan> I just wish I didn't feel so torn. One minute I want to go to him and tell him that I am much better for him, would love him more than she ever could. And the next I am so brokenhearted for them I want to lock them up together until they fix it Michelle sighs, "I don't know if this will make you feel better, but it might help you understand a bit better. You're a natural empath. Or at least you became one after you arrived here. You're picking up all the unshielded emotions of the people around you, particularly those of the people you care about." Meghan nods <Meghan> I have been reading about how to control that more. It's hard though <Michelle> And right now, the people you care about are hurting and confused, and you're having to deal with that on top of your own hurts and confusions. Meghan nods <Michelle> It will always be hard Meghan. Natural empaths are some of the kindest, gentlest people you'll ever meet. But because they feel everyone else's emotions so strong, they get hurt very easily. All I can tell you is that the joys they can share with others makes the pain worthwhile. Eventually you'll work your way through all of this and you'll get to experience those joys. Michelle giggles, "If it makes you feel better you can just remind yourself that since Vallel's not an empath he could never have treated you as well as you deserve." Meghan laughs softly and hugs Michelle <Meghan> What would I do without you. Michelle giggles, "Don't think about it. You'll break both our hearts." Meghan smiles and hugs her close again Meghan stands and pulls another dress off the bed. Its the blue one form the party, still stained with Vallel's blood Michelle glances critically at the dress, "I think I can get those stains out if you want me to. Or would you rather keep it as a reminder?" Meghan shrugs slightly <Meghan> I don't know Meghan runs her fingers lightly over the stain <Meghan> I think I should clean it. I would like to wear it again for Kevil ::pauses:: I think <Michelle> As an apology for the party, or as a distraction so you don't think about Vallel? Meghan glances at her <Meghan> Maybe both ::softly:: Meghan shakes her head <Meghan> I shouldn't. I already know that Kevil thinks I used him to make Jaret and Vallel jealous Michelle stands up and shakes her head at Meghan, "There's nothing wrong with either motivation, just so long as you're honest with YOURSELF about what your motivations are. Kevil is a perfectly charming individual and I think he could do a marvelous job of cheering you up." <Michelle> Were you? <Meghan> I feel awful that he thinks that ::sighs:: Meghan shakes her head <Meghan> No. But still that I would make it appear that way ::trails off:: <Michelle> Have you tried to tell Kevil that? <Meghan> ::nods:: I did. I'm sure he believes me. ::softly:: that's not the point <Michelle> What is the point? <Meghan> That I come off that way ::frustrated:: That all the men probably think I am some kinda of flirtatious ::looks out the window:: I don't know Michelle hugs Meghan from behind, "The men are attracted to you because you're beautiful, graceful, intelligent, and caring. If they're too blind to see that you're hurting and confused then they're not worth your regrets." Meghan nods slowly letting herself be comforted by Michelle Michelle sighs, "I know it hurts. I know you feel terribly guilty, but eventually you'll have to learn that you're only responsible for your own impressions. If you're not actively trying to deceive someone and they misinterpret your behavior...You can't be held responsible for that, and it will just tear you up inside if you try." Meghan nods <Meghan> I guess all this emotion is a bit new to me. Meghan laughs softly <Meghan> I never thought I would be more emotional than I already was Michelle shakes her head, "If it ever gets old then you need to worry. What you need is some good emotions you can bathe in for a while. If we were back home I'd declare a girls night out and we'd hit the malls and eat chocolate and stay up all night in our pajamas talking about completely silly, pointless things. Somehow I don't think anyone here besides us would understand any of it though." Meghan laughs and nods Meghan glances at Michelle <Michelle> Yes? <Meghan> I'm just glad I can be here with you for a while. You give me enough good emotion ::smiles:: and it feel very nice Michelle giggles and tightens her hug, "I can also give you something that's even more important if you want it. Hope." Meghan nods hugging her back <Meghan> ::softly:: yeah i got that too Michelle giggles again, "Really. Then maybe I'll just keep this secret for the next rainy day." <Meghan> Secret? Meghan pouts <Meghan> Aww Michelle <Michelle> Secret. I'm a natural empath as well. You don't think I turned out this caring and motherly by accident do you. I've just been living with it longer than you have is all. You'll get through this and have experiences that will show you the joys your gift entitle you to, and eventually you'll learn to manage it to keep those around you happy. Michelle taps Meghan on the nose, "And don't go telling anyone else." Meghan's eyes widen <Meghan> Well that explains a lot ::smiles:: Michelle giggles, "Feeling better, or should I pull up a chair so you can faint?" Meghan smiles "Better and no I think I'll be ok " laughs softly Michelle looks around the room, "Why don't we finish up here, and then the ice cream I smuggled out of the Hall should still be frozen." Meghan nods <Meghan> Ice cream sounds prefect Michelle giggles, "I thought you'd say that." Meghan winks at her as she places the last of her book on the shelf <Michelle> ::Around the kitchen table over two parfaits.:: So is there anything else you'd like to talk about Meghan? Meghan looks at Michelle for a moment then back down at her ice cream Michelle quirks an eyebrow, "That sounded like a yes." <Meghan> I'm worried that my loneliness is going to get me into trouble <Michelle> What do you mean by your loneliness? And what kind of trouble do you think it will get you into? <Meghan> I just feel very lonely. And I am worried I'm going to attach to one of these men because of that, and that it will not be the right thing to do Meghan shakes her head <Meghan> I know it's much to confusing. I'm having a hard time sorting it out myself Michelle nods, "I like to tell you that it won't happen, but I know how you feel, and how easy it is to let that happen." Michelle sighs. "All I can tell you is to be true to your heart. If you feel confusion in your heart, then don't do it. When things are right, you're heart will tell you. And remember that I'm always here for you." Meghan nods smiling at her <Meghan> And for that I am eternally thankful Michelle takes Meghan's hand, "If you want I can put wards up around the house to shield out stray emotions. All you'd sense would be the emotions of whoever was in the house. It would give you a place to relax, but it would also let you hide from the world and avoid learning to deal with you empathy on your own." Meghan nods <Meghan> I would appreciate that Michelle holds Meghan's gaze, "You have to promise me that you won't hide away from everyone in here." Meghan nods <Meghan> I promise <Michelle> Anything else troubling you little sister? Meghan sighs softly and smiles <Meghan> No I think I have given you all my dilemmas Michelle returns the smile, "I hope you have, but I'm not going to believe it till I see that smile chasing shadows from the room." Meghan grins Michelle smiles, "It's an improvement. And I remember how hard it was for me. We'll just have to work on brightening it a bit each day. Would you like something to drink, or do you want to go to sleep?" <Meghan> I think I need some sleep. Michelle stands and makes shooing motions, "Then brush your teeth and get on up to bed. I'll adjust those wards for you and be up in a few minutes." Meghan nods and hugs Michelle tightly one last time <Meghan> ::softly:: did I say thank you Michelle returns the hug, "Repeatedly little sister. But I'll never grow tired of hearing you say it again." Meghan smiles and lightly walks up the stairs to bed Michelle disappears into the living room and a faint glow can be seen through the door way along with a soft song. Michelle passes back through the kitchen on her way upstairs, banking the fire and dimming the lamps as she does so. <Michelle> ::Fade to black:: |
