I Know How To Twist You

by **Narrator** » Wed Mar 01, 2017 11:44 pm

"My request is quite presumptuous already and I wouldn't want to stick my neck out too far on any one contract by pushing my luck."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 12:08 am

"Do you always corner me in the middle of the bloody woods? Because I might be building a resentment over that."

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 12:30 am

"No. I've met you in several places. Met you on the remains of a battlefield once. You were a *lot* of fun then. Resentment is certainly not the goal though."

"But you still expect me to make a decision or you walk."

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:15 am

The figure gestures, "I have made my offer. If you need time to consider it, by all means do."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:23 am

"I think I do. I assume there's a way to find you?"

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:26 am

"Just tell the wind you're ready to deal and she'll let me know."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:29 am

"...very modern of you."

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:32 am

"Some things are just done that way. Sometimes the old ways are best." She draws her cloak tighter around herself and gives Sam a bow.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:36 am

"...I'll be in touch," she nods, turning back towards the tent.

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:37 am

A brief breeze blows through the campsite and the figure vanishes with it.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:40 am

Shaking her head, Sam stoops to climb back into the tent, the feathers pulling back into her as she does.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:48 am

Tereza stretches and looks up sleepily, "Something wrong?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:51 am

"Not... exactly. Just something a bit weird happened..."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:56 am

"Should I get furry?" She lifts the sleeping bag for Sam to crawl back in.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:58 am

"No, no. She's... gone now. I think," she says as she climbs back in.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 2:00 am

"Well, she can just stay away... Wait, she?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 2:00 am

"I know this is going to sound crazy, but I think... a witch just asked me to make her immortal."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 2:29 am

"That's certainly strange. You sure you weren't sleep-walking?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 3:22 am

"I'm... reasonably sure? I've never been a sleepwalker before."

"Admittedly I was... seesawing a bit between myself and... well, you know."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 3:41 am

"Well, I assume no one would be asking Samantha McManus to make them immortal... unless you were jealous of the werewolf thing and became a vampire. You didn't, did you?" Tereza brain is obviously fuzzy, even if the rest of her isn't.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 3:46 am

"...no."

"And I... told her I'd have to think about it."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:40 pm

"A reasonable thing to do," Tereza says, snuggling up against Sam. "Need help getting back to sleep?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 5:28 pm

"...you're remarkably cool with someone calling on me as a goddess," she murmurs, wrapping an arm back around Tereza.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 5:40 pm

"I could call you a goddess if it would make you feel better," Tereza says, kissing Sam's cheek. Her brain was still sleep-muzzled.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 5:49 pm

"From you, I'd be just about ready to believe it."

"This has been... really nice."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 6:06 pm

"Yes, it has. It's not over yet," she says, "Happy?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 6:09 pm

"Well if you don't mind a little confession, I've... never really been with someone like this."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 6:15 pm

"Then I'm super-flattered that you decided to be with me. Plenty of reasons not to be."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 6:18 pm

"Got caught up in the moment, and it just... felt right."

"Already said we get along like a fire and petrol. Guess it's true," she chuckles softly.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 6:21 pm

"In a tent in the middle of the woods is probably not how you imagined it, but if you want the candlelight and soft music, I can certainly arrange that another time."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 7:10 pm

"I admit I've got a limited sample, but I'm... not so sure we do 'soft.'"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 7:13 pm

"One should always experiment, but you may be right," Tereza says, brushing Sam's hair back.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 7:24 pm

"Not that I'm complaining, mind. Something about that just... worked."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 7:38 pm

"Worked well," Tereza agrees. Her eyes fade to yellow, "Now let's get you back to sleep."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 7:48 pm

"Oh, am I keeping you up?" She asks with a wicked grin.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 8:04 pm

"Only for a little while," she retorts with a grin of her own, dragging her deeper into the sleeping bag.

((Fade))

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 8:10 pm

In the morning, Sam is up before Tereza. She's dressed again, but her hair is still long and wild, with black feathers woven into it.

She's poking at the embers of the fire, lost in thought.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 8:13 pm

As the light gets stronger, Tereza finally makes stirring noises. She starts out of the tent, but seeing Sam is dressed, she ducks back inside quickly. When she re-emerges, she's dressed as well. "Shouldn't take long to get the fire started again," she comments, going about doing just that.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 8:14 pm

"I caught that," she says, smirking over her shoulder at Tereza.
