I'm thankful for Fleece's stoic presense at my side, it let's me breathe a little easier. My facade is slipping a bit in the silence and I'm having some trouble feeling like I did the right thing.
I make a quick decision, going out the door on the…
I look at Reese and nod. "For now. It's a good offer. You don't have to come, though I'd certainly feel better having you there."
I start towards the stairs. "Our things are Fleece's apartment, Mr. Horse. You need to be extra careful with the Doct…
I nod reassuringly at Reese. "Seems like we have a new employer. The Fat Man has generously offered to take us into his employ. Mr. Horse, he mentioned you would be arranging for our things and getting us to the Palace this morning?"
I look up at H…
I slowly close the laptop screen with a shakey breathe. I can feel water at the corner of my eyes. "I can't believe I just did that." I whisper, taking another vibratoed breathe and shaking my head, as if to clear out my own doubts, before turning …
I nod, we'll see if that last one ever comes to pass, but I like that he anticipates a future where he might. Plus, no use in creating to tosky enemies of the feed watchers."I think we have a deal, Miles."
I nod when he mentions leaving Horse to arrange things. I'm comfortable receiving that sort of treatment and I want him to see that. I want him to see what he expects to see.
"That would be lovely Miles." When he mentions dropping by. When he meet…
"I'd like to say goodbye to some friends, tell them where I am going, but otherwise I can leave hastily. With the Irons gone, I believe both would eagerly agree. I can have ready momentarily. If it's easier, we can leave our things in Fleece's room…
I smile pleased with the answer, "I have been trained to avoid petty squabbles, so I believe we will get along just fine."
I lean forward, as if to tell a secret, "I hope you did not find that question rude, Miles. I have met many heads of houses, …
Gloriana made a very bad move, making this man angry. I listen, not disagreeing when he says I am on Gloriana's bad side. I'm not sure it's quite that simple, but I won't elaborate on that with Miles, unless he makes me.
I should just agree. Laugh…
Since he brought it up, I make my face look forelorned. Not that it takes much effort. "Gloriana." I whisper, sadly.
I swallow. "I must say, I feel at a disadvantage here Miles. You seem to know a fair amount about me, but I know so little about y…
I bite my lip thinking. "I'm no diplomat, but I do have some training." It is a gross understatement, but I'm sure he's aware of that. I screw my face into a mold of contemplative interest.
He's made his offer, time to try to bargain in my people.
…
I smile, "Then please call me Sierra." I listen to him and I know this is the right move. It may be my only move. Especially, if I want to protect Fleece, but it feels incredibly, bone deep wrong. My skin is all pins and needles.
I look down…
I give a half smile and look at him from under my eyelashes, like we are sharing a secret. Like it's a secret I'm honored to have. Mr. Miles, then. I let my face break out into a true smile, happy to have his trust, but let him see me get a bit nerv…
I smile sadly when he mentions that I helped him. "I'm thankful that you gave me that opportunity." I wonder if he means something more than that... but it's hard to tell.
OOC:What is TFM really feeling?"
Her sits up straighter and naturally I fo…
I am not the best with computers, preferring more tangible things, but I sigh in relief when the right program comes online. I'm glad Fleece is in the room, shes a living breathing reason for why I am doing this. Betraying... no I can't think of it …
Once Horse is out of the room I shrug, looking at Reese. "He doesn't seem so bad. Would you mind waiting out there with him, Reese. Keep an eye out?"
I look at Fleece, "Ooma, if you could just stand over there..." I gesture to the side wall, somewh…
I smile at Horse. "I hope you don't find that rude, Mr. Horse. It's just in the Valley, people have tried to take liberties with me. I'm sure you aren't the sort, but you are easily twice my size. You wouldn't mind my friends coming as well, wou…
I'm a bit surprised at that, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me feel better. Perhaps I am just a selt, who is just being lulled into a false sense of security. Probably both.
I move closer and nod to Fleece to let him in. "Of course, …
The knock comes as I am putting on some final touches. I don't even wonder how they knew I was in here, I'm sure they have access to the feed, or internal sources, regardless - it doesn't seem to matter.
I'm adding some coal to my eyes and gloss t…
Fleece as always is calm and composed. Her hair, up in a high bun, dressed in dark blue cotton slacks and a black and white printed blouse. I'm still in disarray, my hair long, loose and wet, covered only by Fleece's short sateen robe.
I mout…
I whimper watching her take her own finger into her mouth. Wishing it were mine, wishing we had more time.
When she kisses me, hard and with purpose, I can taste myself on her tongue. I'm trying not to think about how Glori is watching this, how s…
I moan, high and strangled. The feeling of her fingers, mixed with the fear of her being taken, killed... it creates a heady need in me.
I gasp when she removes her touch from me, leaving me empty. I look down at Fleece, she thinks she can manipul…
The cold tile beneath my skin send goosebumps along my flesh. I almost forget what we are talking about when Fleece slides down to her knees, making quick work of my skirt. "You've met him then? Does he react better or worse to any sort of personali…
I lick my lips my mouth going dry. Gloriana momentarily forgotten, but only for a moment. I take off my jacket and the lace covering of my top, leaving me in just the black bra and skirt from last night, before joining Fleece in the bathroom.
I wa…
I don't know what to say, there is such a war in me. The two halves of myself are at odds -- and some part of me knows this is all happening because Glorianna loves me.
"I can't believe Mot would..." Then I remember our conversation in Esco's offi…
I lower my fork in comprehension, Krin... She mentioned it was a bad day, she just didn't seem to want to dwell but perhaps I should have asked more questions. And Gigg... that poor boy. "Gigg's dead? How terribly tragic. He seemed, so innocent at t…
