2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: Elaria helped Sandra over to a chair and helped seat her. She was inwardly angry with Sandra's sister and the fact that she didn't care about Sandra at all. She fought away her anger she didn't know the sister yet and perhaps was being unfair but she was a little disappointed the sister hadn't at least checked to ensure her sister was aright. She smiled as she sat next to Sandra. "It smells even better in here."

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} **smiles and licks her lips** it really does..

{male waiter} **comes over and waves hand over the table in front of them and two big steaming bowls of beef stew appear in front of them with a basket of warm rolls and two glass goblets with silver rims** is there anything else you ladies require?

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: Elaria'e eyes widened in surprise. "Ummm I'm fine thank you..." She said still trying to overcome her shock. "Is this whole place magical?" She whispered.

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} **felt around found her bowl and fork and started eating slowly and carefully**

{male waiter} ma'am you should probably ask the mistress that but the pitchers have wine and some have water enjoy your meal **wanders back to the back wall**

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: Elaria blushed at being heard and began to eat. "What drink do you prefer? What or wine?"

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} water please and thank you so much for helping me.. I don't know what happend to tasha.. **sighs**

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: She poured her water and handed her the goblet carefully. "It's not a problem, I like helping you. That is what friends do. She should show up." I hope... She ate some more food and smiled. "This is really delicious. Sandra...do you know how many stay here? And How long have you and your sister stayed?"

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} **carefully takes sip of the icy water** we've been here for years.. in another land we are considered princess's.. but because I am blind I wouldn't make a suitable partner for a king.. and I couldn't handle the throne according to my parents so they sent me here with my sister to care for me.. and I have no idea how many are housed here I'm sorry.. I wish I did.. but sandra doesn't take me out very much other then for meals and baths..

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: "I'm sorry...it must get lonely. Would you like me to take you out? We can explore the place together. And just because you are blind doesn't mean you aren't suitable for someone. That is ridiculous...forgive me if I speak out...it's not my place I know, but it isn't your fault and you shouldn't be punished for something you can't help..."

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} **smiles excitedly** I would love to explore this place with you!! are you sure I would be a burden? thats what they always thought of me as in my opinion.. and its refreshing to actually get the truth so please speak your mind as you want

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: "You are not a burden. I think you are a lovely young lady and very sweet. You should not be restricted just because you can't see. I am sure in some ways you can see better then others. It is said that when one of the senses is gone the others are sharper. You could probably hear more then I, which can really come in handy. Forgive me for saying...but I believe your family was cruel to have sent you away as though you were in the wrong. Why I met a fine lady who was blind and yet she was still able to lead her people wisely. her husband even consulted with her when it came to important matters." She said gently hugging her. "I am sure whoever you end up with will be very lucky to have you."

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} **smiles a little tear forming in the corner of her eye trying to hug back without knocking anything over** thats the kindest thing I've ever heard from anybody..

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: "I mean every word of it." She whispered happy to have met her. She silently and quickly saved her goblet from being toppled. She didn't want to upset Sandra, she knew how hard she tried. She really felt for her. "Do you want to begin our exploration after we finish eating?" She asked kindly as she slowly eased from the hug, so they both could eat.

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} **slowly turns back to her food feeling around carefully for her bowl and fork again** I think that would be wonderful.. maybe you can help me learn to be a bit more independent.. so I wouldn't need so much help all the time

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **enters and takes a seat twords the back off the dining hall smiling graciously at elaria and sandra**

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: Elaria smiled back. "I will be glad to help." She said as she carefully began to eat after handing her her fork.
Elaria poured herself more water and poured her friend some more too.

Erabas sat next to Marie and began to eat. Marie realized he was drinking allot of the wine. He seemed to down his goblet in only a few gulps.

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} **hears the fork chinking against the bottom of the metal bowl** can you tell me if my bowls empty? I think it is

{Marie} **eats slowly deliberately avoiding touching the food to her lips and slowly sipping her red wine every few bites** how is everything? I think this is the best stew the chefs have made in ages..

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: Elaria nodded. "Umm it is empty would you like more?" She asked kindly.

Erabas nodded. "It's good." He said as he downed what had to be his tenth goblet of wine. He had also gone through four bowls of stew.

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} no thanks I'm not hungry anymore I just wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting any food **smiles and giggles softly**

{marie} if you don't mind me asking.. how long has it been since you've last eaten?

2009-07-27 [Silver Moon]: Erabas looked up and considered. "Two weeks." He murmured. "I believe that is correct...."


Elaria smiled. "Want to explore?" She asked her friend. The young man unnerved her.

2009-07-27 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {sandra} sure **brightly she said reaching out to find elaria's arm so she could help her get up and guide her**

{Marie} **looks concerned** thats terrible.. you should really eat more.. have you been on the run for that long? **she suddenly blushes thinking she might be asking to much of this privates mans past**

2009-07-28 [Silver Moon]: Elaria gently lead her from the room.

He froze and gazed at his bowl his hair falling in front of his face masking his eyes. "My brother seeks my death." He finally said after several minutes.

2009-07-28 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {Marie} **freezes with a look of shock** but.. why?

2009-07-29 [Silver Moon]: He looked down and sad. "The same reason he set my wife up to snatch my happiness from me...he seeks to make me suffer before he kills me. He is drawing the pain out slowly. I think he fears I threaten his possession. Though I am the illegitimate son...I still hold some claim to title and he fears that I will use it."

2009-07-29 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} thats horrible.. **looks at you with great sympathy**

2009-07-29 [Silver Moon]: He put his face in his hands. "I don't know why he hates me...he said I was an abomination...he is right...it took me a few years to discover his meaning when I was a child...I can't help being a bastard child...I can't help being an abomination either..."

2009-07-29 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **gently puts her hand on your back and rubs softly** I don't know you very well but from what I can tell so far your not.. your hurt and need someone that you can trust..

2009-07-29 [Silver Moon]: "I don't know...if I have any trust left to give..." He whispered.

2009-07-29 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **whispers** the amazing thing about trust is that like love you can always make more to give..

2009-07-29 [Silver Moon]: "Can you? I don't know anymore...I don't even know why I trust you enough to tell you these things...things I have never told anyone else...believe it or not...I once was outgoing and friendly...I used to have many friends, laugh and joke...trust...but...when they discovered what I was they abandoned me...those that didn't did so when my brother came after me...Then I met Lainna...I thought she loved me but she had been placed by my brother...he arranged other girls to show interest too...I never got as close to them as I had Lainna...but each betrayal cut deeper. Now I don't even know what love is...is it real? Does it exist? Or is it a mere facade? I don't know anymore...do you know what it is like to hold the most precious thing in the world...for less then a day...then have it snatched away by the very person you believed you could trust the most?"

2009-07-29 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **looks down and drops her hand** pain is apart of living.. with out evil and pain and all other bad things there could be no good.. no joy.. no pleasure.. nothing.. and if you can't trust.. you can't have hope.. then when something really good comes by.. you might not even see it..

2009-07-29 [Silver Moon]: Erabas was silent for several minutes. "I...know...that's another thing I am afraid of...I've become my own enemy, I am filled with doubts, self hatred...despair...I don't even know how to trust myself..."

2009-07-29 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **says gently** well this is a place of healing.. and I've said your welcome to stay as long as you want..

2009-07-29 [Silver Moon]: "Thank you...I'm sorry if I was rude earlier...forgive me..."

2009-07-29 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie}**smiles** no need for apologies.. I understand how hard it can be..

2009-07-29 [Silver Moon]: "Is it...alright if I go to rest...I haven't had a decent sleep in along time either..."

2009-07-29 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} of course.. do you know your way back to your room?

2009-08-01 [Silver Moon]: He nodded. "I believe so..." he said as he got up.

2009-08-01 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **smiles shyly** alright.. well.. sleep well then..

2009-08-02 [Silver Moon]: He nodded and paused when he reached the door, then he turned to look at her. "Thank you for your hospitality..."

2009-08-02 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **looks down and quietly says** its the least I can do..

2009-08-04 [Silver Moon]: He frowned slightly. "What do you mean? You're not responsible for anything I've experienced..."

2009-08-04 [Shiago]: *Looks at Marie* Where do you keep the cat food?

2009-08-04 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **shakes head at erabas saying nothing more about it**

**turns to shia** hello shia **smiles mysteriously** I'm sure that draco would like some of the beef from the stew being served why don't you give him some of that

2009-08-07 [Silver Moon]: Erebas left the room silently

2009-08-19 [♀Kotton Kandy♀ the ♀American Witch♀]: {marie} **gets a worried look on her face** I'm sorry shia enjoy your food but I fear something else as arised that needs my attention **stands and disappears in a puff of smoke**

2009-11-08 [Shiago]: *Nods as she leaves and feeds Draco some of the beef*
