Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:04 pm"I could... sort of tell that. But you'd asked me to stay away during the nights, so I did. It wasn't easy."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:05 pm"I'm... sorry you had to feel that. I know it must have seemed... crude." She hangs her shaggy head.
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:13 pmWanda stops and reaches up to touch Isolde's cheek, "No, I meant it wasn't easy to stay away. I knew you needed me... and not just like that. But... I'm worried about what this bond means for you. Once you said you don't think you can refuse me and I still worry about that."

Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:24 pm"I didn't do this lightly. I'm more worried about what would leak through from me than the other way around."

Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:30 pm"You don't... have context for most of these feelings."
"And let's face it. I'm not a good person. Some days I'm not even a person."

Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:34 pm"But you still have a place in things. You... fit in the flow. It's hard to describe." She fidgets slightly with the fur on Isolde's cheek. "You belong."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:43 pm"I still don't really know why you chose me. I had no reason to expect you would."
"But... I'm grateful for it."
"But... I'm grateful for it."

Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:47 pm"...well, if you find your leg twitching in your sleep, I'm going to deny everything."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:54 pm"Haven't noticed anything like that so far," she shrugs, "So maybe I'm in the clear there."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:57 pm"Just as well. Probably enough wolves here as it is."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:59 pm"There are several," she says, moving to start walking again.
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 6:02 pm"And I understand they're pests at night," she smirks toothily, putting an arm around Wanda again as they walk.

Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 6:15 pm"Oh, should I be dragging? I seem to have neglected that."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 6:19 pm"I think you might find dragging me counter-productive."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 6:23 pm"I could carry you..."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 6:39 pm"But carry me to where? And would you want to?"
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 7:03 pm"Nnh. You're better with your feet planted on the ground," she concedes.
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 7:08 pm"So I've been told... by someone I trust," she smiles up at Isolde.
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 7:26 pm"And while a part of me does imagine you with a pelt, you're perfect just like this."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 7:52 pm"If you want to see me in a pelt, I'll search the thrift stores for a fur coat."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 8:39 pm"Not the same and you know it," she chuckles throatily.
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 10:38 pm"It's as close as you're likely to get," she smirks.
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 10:39 pm"Suppose I've got enough for both of us, eh?"
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 10:55 pm"I suppose you do at that. It feels nice."
Re: Kept from the door...

Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:11 pm"I can't pretend I'm just one or the other. Something always gives."
"Sometimes it's when people find me."

Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:33 pm"Well, I'm happy I found you. Or you found me, depending on how you want to look at it."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:37 pm"Usually it's people from my past that come looking," she admits.
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:42 pm"Well, now you can focus on the people from your present, right?"
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2018 2:21 pm"I'd like to, certainly. It'd be a welcome change."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2018 3:44 pm"Well then, do that. There might be some place still open in Maldon, are you hungry?"
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:36 pm"And what, you'll bring it to me?"
"Or am I to be on a leash?"
"Or am I to be on a leash?"
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:55 pm"I still have your clothes," she says, "I didn't take you for the leash type."
Re: Kept from the door...
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 11:40 pm"I'm not, but it's harder to pull all of this back in."
