ϿЅѻггΛϾ : Fingers lapsed about the nearest edge, curling about the chair top. A grimace sounding, having it erupted from her rogue painted lips. Black bangs blown away from her mismatched pools. She defied this, a permanent scowl had found its way upon her usually flawless face. A servant dedicated to the house of Vanity, stood in behind Sorra who so happened to be seeking some anchor to hold herself steady. Breath pulled inward..constricted on a cruel manner `barbaric` hisses..between clenched teeth. As much as> ‘
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : she had a love for fashion, there was a line that could be crossed with any woman. Strings of the corset being pulled, tugged and tied in place, by the buxom woman. Sorra believed she was enjoying the affiliates discomfort, a thin smile upon their lips as she worked to fit Sorra`s svelte frame into what the dark haired beauty considered to be a method of torture. The price was too steep to play to be beautiful this time around. Steam Punk be damned. Gibe her a pair of comfortable worn jeans and a sweat>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : shirt any day. Some choice words were uttered in a waspish manner, a colorful prayer as she went looking for mercy that certainly would not come from the sour looking woman, who sharply pulled upon the black lace knitting together the deep maroon bodice together. Pushing her breasts up, so they seemed to practically come across as suffocating, eager to escape the opulent material, that that those all to eager to proclaim to be all in the know about fashion..What was in and what was out `fuck!` no she could>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : not do this. If her boobs were seeking reprieve she was sure to asphyxiate upon them, due to being forced up ward. `Get out` utters. Her words just above a whisper. Steady and holding an certain octave which had the servant looking to the half breed in shock. Oh as a rule Sorra was so polite..civil and charismatic. Ever back a kitty onto a corner..did you know what was likely to occur if you placed a creature like she or any creature for that matter in such a predicament. Retaliation. Having caught the>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : robust womans scowl in the mirror, it only irked her ire more. Straightening to the best of her ability `I said..leave..dont make me ask you again` Her forbearance had been tested to the max, she had been pushed to the edge due to the amount if work she had been dedicated upon. And in her down time she wished not to be..well tortured. The woman left, the door shut a little firmer than truly needed. Leaving Sorra alone in her rooms that she was humbled to have been given there in the house of vanity>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : she swore no one knew of her presence here. The corset was made quick work of, tossed in uncaring abandon, where it fell she cared not. Semi naked, she would seek out something a lot more aligned to her particular tastes..Still elegant, stylish too, a cahmeer top of soft green pulled over her frame smoothed down. Now she could finally breathe.. Looking to the blasted thing on the floor like it was wicked and evil. Burn <e>

Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : term when speaking of Vanity’s standards. Imagine then her surprise at seeing one of the slaves looking absolutely flummoxed. The sort of dejection that often came after disappointing their lord. She paused the woman in her treks and made such inquiries as to the state of her nature. It was perhaps only fact they were in the house<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : itself still that kept the girl from cursing, but only just. A soft chastisement for her demeanor and on the girl was sent, yet Rae’s direction altered to the guest quarters wing, which also house some measure of employees as well. Approaching the door of, Sorra, she rapped lightly on the frame taking a step back and awaiting response.- end-
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : You would think that she was in the possession of a certain demeanor that she enjoyed being tied up. Such was not the case, when it came to being literally forced into something that could only be put on with a shoe horn and lots of talcum powder. Picking up the garment it would be folded and placed neatly upon the dresser. `come in` shouts out to whoever wrapped upon her chamber doors. Fingers worked in a deft manner to tie her hair up, Looking now in the direction of the doors that were sure to open now>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : that permission had been granted. Sorra`s chambers were comfortable, even immaculate, which basically mirrored the head of house fixation of having things clean as well as organized. The woman happened to have quite a bit of comprehension when it came to such things. Working for Vampires gave her that. Caim was no vampire though was he, but the way he acted and strutted about you would think he was. She had almost laughed once or twice, when sighting him giving such a distasteful and disgusted gaze>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : when inspecting something that been so very subtly shifted from its usual spot. Oh yes working for him was proving to be a right hoot. Still she was thankful his wrath had not been directed at her, she was humbled by the position given to her, to which she hoped would eventually bring a little more credit to all her hard work she had been putting in of late<e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : (-She had of course seen the woman about the estate though their interaction had been largely in passing. Still she had spied just a few nights past speaking with the skull master, a fact which had endeared the woman to Rae even if it made no logical sense as to why. Logic as some might come to understand with rae, <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : was not a requirement at all times. A fact which at times both confused and unsettled those that had to deal with her which is of course why she liked it. Best if people cannot predict you she would always say to Alistair when he’d made inquiry after it. Such commentary amusing the man to no end. She had sometimes wondered if he<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : had named her heir, not for her ability to lead the house, but rather her talent for vexing those that irritated Alistair most. It wasn’t a skill to be underestimated though especially when applied with intent. The resonate sound greeted her and she let slim digits fall upon the handle twisting it until it sighed with freedom. The empty space <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : created soon filling with her form as she moved within letting tricolored orbs that were this day a light violet, silvery hue, and etches of black peer about. True to the nature of vanity it was a well kept space. It was a peacefulness to which the house might wish to languish in for in some months she would find ways to unsettle their revelry.<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : Things needed a balance, such order was uncanny…she’d reordered the bookshelf in the siting room any number of times only to return and to find it pristine once more. It was like a game between her and the staff that kept it, which is when she had become more adept at how to fix things. Caim had displayed his displeasure on more than one <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : occasion for her antics, yet in more recent months seemed less disconcerted by them. She referred to that as progress. A smile worked its way upon her features as she took sight of the woman gently closing the door behind her- “I hope you do not mind my stopping by unannounced, but one of the girls seemed...indicated you were<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : displeased. Though it is not my place to insinuate myself into such instances, I couldn’t rightly pass upon the chance to make a more formal introduction however informal it might be.” – end-
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : A beautifully shaped eye brow would arch, not only was it Rae who had come to pay her a visit, the notion of a maid expressing that the raven haired beauty was displeased was..predictable. `well..` she would begin, encouraging rae to make herself comfortable. After all it was her home more than it was the half breeds `its similar to giving birth, something the size of a melon coming out of a hole the size of a ..` Need she continue, a odd even hilarious was to describe what it felt like to be put into>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : something that in Sorra`s eyes was not natural. Pointing to the corset, as way of further explanation. `care for some tea?` utters no indication of her earlier frustrations. You see Sorra was like that, she was very capable of expressing her emotions and feelings when the need arose. She had expressed her anger to the servant, and then it had gone, because there was no need to hold onto it. Being a were cat as well as a fey, ..though she liked looking good, she really did not care much for being controlled>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : something certain individuals found to be a challenge, as if able to root such deeply seated pattern put of her. Thankfully her cheeks had not been the focus of firm hand, and she was not talking of the ones on her face. `Congratulations upon your engagement..apologies that I could not attend til later I was otherwise... engaged` it was no lie, that came from her lips. Heading across to where the cups were, if Rae accepted the earlier offer two tea bags would be plucked from a tin and placed in the>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : provided cups. `it was not my intention to cause offence to Bertha ` not that it was the name of the woman, but she did own a body that was thick solid and not to be trifled with. Heck her wrists alone were the size of tree trunks <e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : -Rae’s head visibly tilt her to the right as the woman did her upmost to explain and it was by the expression upon those paler features that she was indeed amused by it even proffering a slight chuckle as the revelation to the corset gave the story its setting. She could appreciate the sentiment, which is why most of rae’s own corseted <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : like shirts were just that…like it, not actual. Keeping her well in style and yet comfortable. Of course, she couldn’t always avoid the real thing, but often enough that it did her credit.- “I see, it is generally my rule if I can’t dress myself then whatever it is they are asking me to wear isn’t practical and thus I have no use for it.” – Specia<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : occasions warranted exceptions as often they might, but that of course went without saying.- “There is nothing to give apology for truly. Such affairs were not for us so much as it was to still the disquieted natures of others having two houses align in such a manner.” – she offered honestly and with somewhat surprising openness. Caim and she had <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : always been drawn to each other it was true, yet that is not what had sparked the arrangement, but it was the satisfaction of a contract made long before either of them were born into this world.-“Tea would be delightful, thank you”- She found one of the lounge chairs and settled within it letting one leg lazily cross over the other- “They<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : are not used to having someone in the household to whom they can be something less than perfect with…I have warned them that such will get them into trouble some day, but they seem for the time content to ignore my warnings. I suppose I tolerate it myself if only because I have the smallest inkling of compassion for the amount<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : of angst I cause them. You see it’s this little game we play…I move something and they have the day to sort it out before caim sees it. – she smiled fondly at this statement wondering if anyone might notice she’d turned the time keeping piece upside down. It was mounted on the wall across from caim’s desk and looked nearly identical. < 4
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : She had to be crafty of course else they’d undo all her good work as they often tried, but she was getting better at it giving a whole new name to the idea of organized chaos.- “I understand that you are the one predominantly responsible for the reinstitution of the library, is there a date yet set for its reveal to the public?
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : "-end_
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : `oh you like keeping people on their toes..` adds the boiling water over the tea bags, pouring milk into a small silver jug placing it all on a tray.. Oh very English like, but then Sorra here was born in England, etiquette and finesse oozed from her pores, certainly at times where she could entertain..well at this degree any way. `I would think that being in Caims employ would keep them on their toes to begin with, he does not come over as too..lenient ` she was about to say forgiving but chose against it>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : the tray was set down upon the near by table, Sorra would take up the adjacent chair. `I feel for them` she did not sound pained by the way of her explanation, picking up the pot, giving it a swirl in an anti clock wise motion before pouring. `I hope he it contented by my efforts to repair that tomb he has been so eager to get his paws on` At the word of furry appendages, would also be applied to the fact that Sorra here was a were cat. It would be how she moved and those abnormal yet striking hues that >
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : may or may not betray what she was. Sorra certainly came over as quite the proper human, when in truth she was far from it. Human that is. Pushes the cup across the wooden surface. `How are things coming along for you..adjusting ok` Sorra was uncanny in her ability to home in on things that others may not. Making public an engagement was no small thing after all. Rae came over as capable to rise to the challenge, but the half breed doubted it would be easy. People beyond the walls vanity were talking >
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : and such talk never bode well in the long run <e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : Not exactly…this place is too ordered and lacks balance in that measure…I am of harmony and dissonance is an equal measure of my nature. People seem to forget that…”-she frowned slightly, but then perked back up and continued talking-“ It bothers me how orderly it is here sometimes, so I simply seek to make it<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : more…livable. Of course, it has as a result become something of a tede tat’ that I’ve come to enjoy, though I’ll never confess such to another living soul if pressed upon it.”- She took the tea grateful for it, those slim digits circling about the cup as she lifted it near to her features and breathed in the steaming warmth of it. A< <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : contended sigh rumbling past those lips before she finally indulged in a drink of the hot liquid.-“ I am certain he will be. Few truly appreciate how distraught he has been over the absence of tomes. It is…”- she paused clearing her throat putting on some compressed version of Vera and Caim as she could-“The cities life’s blood <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : and we can’t possibly expect an ill educated society to be a productive one.”- She chuckled softly before taking another sip of the tea.-“This really is divine, thank you.”- A nearly mischievous look touched her features when asked how she was adjusting to life among the Vain.-“Oh, they are adjusting well enough to me I suppose.<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : I imagine there will be a few kinks along the way, but nothing we can’t ultimately sort out.”- She mused clearly having no intention of conforming to the usual expectation of Caim Elfhiem. The look shifted again to something more personal yet equally impish, she had successfully gotten the man to take her out in the courtyard…against<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : the fountain. The slaves she was certain whispered about the event, yet she’d not heard on peep of it from anyone….good for them, Caim might lash them if they spoke out of turn. It took effort not to look towards the window and it wouldn’t have mattered besides…she didn’t think this room faced the fountain. Likely best<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : for all concerned. She had not been a quiet mate.- “He is complicated creature though isn’t he?”- she mused thoughtfully, fondly even.-“Tell me, is there any particular tome he has you working on?”- she asked genuinely curious-end-
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : Concluded Rae `s statement about Caim being complicated with a soft smile `he certainly seems that way ` Giving a nod to the compliment about the tea. Sorra did enjoy a good cup of earl grey. Clasping the cup between the flat of her hands prior to supping the hot liquid `some tomb in a language I can not quite translate fully` She really had no clue as to what the pages of that book contained other than the head of House vanity wished to have it as soon as possible. Sorra of all creatures >
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : knew about not being able to rush perfections. Adjusting her frame there within the chair she occupied, both legs coming under their slight weight. `I think people were shocked by such an admission ` nods..almost scalding her mouth by taking too much of the tea onto her mouth. She opted to wait for it to cool. `the library is coming on though..slowly but..to be expected..the earth quake caused so much damage and..loss` It was not about books now, but life. `as for kinks..of you need assistance there..`>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : trails of.. leaving the woman to think of what ever she said as they felt and seen fit. Sorra was still adjusting to this place, true she could go back and forth as she pleased, the method of such, coming in the form of the blue pendant that was dangling from a simple and fine silver chain about her throat. It was used with great care, had to be given the danger that came with being an literal off world pilgrim. Fingers came up to touch the jewel, eyes growing a little distant before returning just as>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : quickly so to focus on the woman close by <e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : -Mine. That is what he had called her that night and she had readily agreed with the sentiment. She belonged to him now, but it was a different sort of ownership if only because she was permitted the great gift of still being unto herself. Harmony had its claws in first and that was the way she intended to run the house until such a time as <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : proverbial ground rules were laid. They were still the balance between the vain and the corrupt. She was of a mind to box Vera’s ears when next she saw the woman. The entire blasted affair had been her idea and then she hadn’t even bothered to show. It took effort not to pout, the thought have very little to do with the present<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : conversation…what were they talking about oh yes, caim was complicated…well everyone knew that didn’t they? She smiled brilliantly at the woman as she began to explain about the language barriers.- “How interesting. It is rather quite amazing how much can be lost in only a hundred years isn’t it? I suppose that is what the books are for<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : though. I have recently come across a small cache of texts. It was in an old store house Harmony used, abandoned and dilapidated, but the texts seem to have survived alright. I am having them sent here and hadn’t rightly decided what to do with them, but then I saw you speaking with the skull master(Charles) and thought why of course! Who <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : better to take them into their charge then our restoration specialist and…well are you going to call yourself a librarian? I suppose since we’ve not opened it as yet, we could call it anything and thus you any title of such an establishment as you wished.”- she paused taking another sip of tea. The favor the lady paid her jewel not lost upon the fa
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : fae warranting comment-“That’s lovely”- She nodded to the thing she was fingering-“does it have special meaning?”- she asked sincerely understanding that often times people had sentimental attachments to things. As for her? She only had one and it hardly seemed worth remembering. A dried and pressed flower from her youth.< <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : a gift from a playmate she had once had, though she rightfully didn’t even remember his name. Yet she had kept it even after all these years. Why she was not certain, but such as it was it remained delicately placed between the folds of a book housed in her bedroom.-
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : a chuckle would present its self to the air, at the mention of Librarian oh someone would be quite amused at that title for sure. Looking to her watch, it was getting to be that hour `its not something I am foreign to, Librarian polyglot, translator` gave a gentle shrug of her shoulders.`if you wish me to take care of such texts, I be more than happy to, though it may take considerable time for me to work through them..` saying that it reminded her to broach the subject of her ..Sir. `I am expecting>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : someone to be arriving soon, I would like you to meet them..they are also quite gifted in translation, but more so in recovering..his name is Arikel ` she chose not to say anything more, for it was not her business to. What was taking place and what was building between Tin Man and herself was..none of anyones business, it be like her asking about Rae`s personal affairs. `ohh to have a bigger premise..that would be..` a sigh passed indicating that much relief would come of it. `cramped conditions are not>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : a perfect setting for me` utters honestly. Taking up her tea cup..scowling into it as if any moment something would bite her on the nose..Now the tea was too cold for her liking. Adds more sugar and drinks it regardless. She felt Rae was contemplating numerous things `I am sure you will restore what is needed while your significant will set the cat among the pigeons `..the cat not being her of course..maybe she should correct herself there..It would not only be the staff in the employ of caim that would>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : be kept on their toes <e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : -It was good to finally earn a chuckle from the lips of the woman for which she was most pleased at. Though expected she had missed some internal thought of amusement it had been attached to, still it was the effect she had been looking for. The people of Vanity didn’t smile nearly enough as far as she was concerned and she was aimed to do <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : something about it and once her mind was so set, it was difficult to alter it. Not impossible of course, but difficult.- “I wouldn’t dream of imposing and it is that I have a meeting myself this day with the merchants of cacophony square. Chances are I will be late, but then one cannot be late to one’s own meeting. So I will arrive just on time <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : to start things.”- She grinned slightly rising from the chair and taking a last sip of tea before setting it to the side.-“However, if you feel it pertinent do mention to Arikel that he may wish to drop by to see me. I will leave word both here and at Harmony to anticipate his outreach, though it be not required of course.”- she chuckled lightly <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : to the sentiment concerning Caim-“I have no doubt you are right. It was genuinely a please Sorra, I do so hope we can chat again sometime in the relatively near future.”-she’d cant her head lightly towards the woman and then make a quiet exit making a point to check one of the hall clocks, but pausing as she stopped before it and moved the <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : minute hand exactly sixty seconds ahead. A small grin playing across her features. She dared anyone to sort that out and then continued on her way. -end-
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : she had a love for fashion, there was a line that could be crossed with any woman. Strings of the corset being pulled, tugged and tied in place, by the buxom woman. Sorra believed she was enjoying the affiliates discomfort, a thin smile upon their lips as she worked to fit Sorra`s svelte frame into what the dark haired beauty considered to be a method of torture.

Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : (-She had of course seen the woman about the estate though their interaction had been largely in passing. Still she had spied just a few nights past speaking with the skull master, a fact which had endeared the woman to Rae even if it made no logical sense as to why. Logic as some might come to understand with rae, <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : was not a requirement at all times. A fact which at times both confused and unsettled those that had to deal with her which is of course why she liked it. Best if people cannot predict you she would always say to Alistair when he’d made inquiry after it. Such commentary amusing the man to no end. She had sometimes wondered if he<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : had named her heir, not for her ability to lead the house, but rather her talent for vexing those that irritated Alistair most. It wasn’t a skill to be underestimated though especially when applied with intent. The resonate sound greeted her and she let slim digits fall upon the handle twisting it until it sighed with freedom. The empty space <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : created soon filling with her form as she moved within letting tricolored orbs that were this day a light violet, silvery hue, and etches of black peer about. True to the nature of vanity it was a well kept space. It was a peacefulness to which the house might wish to languish in for in some months she would find ways to unsettle their revelry.<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : Things needed a balance, such order was uncanny…she’d reordered the bookshelf in the siting room any number of times only to return and to find it pristine once more. It was like a game between her and the staff that kept it, which is when she had become more adept at how to fix things. Caim had displayed his displeasure on more than one <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : occasion for her antics, yet in more recent months seemed less disconcerted by them. She referred to that as progress. A smile worked its way upon her features as she took sight of the woman gently closing the door behind her- “I hope you do not mind my stopping by unannounced, but one of the girls seemed...indicated you were<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : displeased. Though it is not my place to insinuate myself into such instances, I couldn’t rightly pass upon the chance to make a more formal introduction however informal it might be.” – end-
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : A beautifully shaped eye brow would arch, not only was it Rae who had come to pay her a visit, the notion of a maid expressing that the raven haired beauty was displeased was..predictable. `well..` she would begin, encouraging rae to make herself comfortable. After all it was her home more than it was the half breeds `its similar to giving birth, something the size of a melon coming out of a hole the size of a ..` Need she continue, a odd even hilarious was to describe what it felt like to be put into>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : something that in Sorra`s eyes was not natural. Pointing to the corset, as way of further explanation. `care for some tea?` utters no indication of her earlier frustrations. You see Sorra was like that, she was very capable of expressing her emotions and feelings when the need arose. She had expressed her anger to the servant, and then it had gone, because there was no need to hold onto it. Being a were cat as well as a fey, ..though she liked looking good, she really did not care much for being controlled>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : something certain individuals found to be a challenge, as if able to root such deeply seated pattern put of her. Thankfully her cheeks had not been the focus of firm hand, and she was not talking of the ones on her face. `Congratulations upon your engagement..apologies that I could not attend til later I was otherwise... engaged` it was no lie, that came from her lips. Heading across to where the cups were, if Rae accepted the earlier offer two tea bags would be plucked from a tin and placed in the>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : provided cups. `it was not my intention to cause offence to Bertha ` not that it was the name of the woman, but she did own a body that was thick solid and not to be trifled with. Heck her wrists alone were the size of tree trunks <e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : -Rae’s head visibly tilt her to the right as the woman did her upmost to explain and it was by the expression upon those paler features that she was indeed amused by it even proffering a slight chuckle as the revelation to the corset gave the story its setting. She could appreciate the sentiment, which is why most of rae’s own corseted <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : like shirts were just that…like it, not actual. Keeping her well in style and yet comfortable. Of course, she couldn’t always avoid the real thing, but often enough that it did her credit.- “I see, it is generally my rule if I can’t dress myself then whatever it is they are asking me to wear isn’t practical and thus I have no use for it.” – Specia<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : occasions warranted exceptions as often they might, but that of course went without saying.- “There is nothing to give apology for truly. Such affairs were not for us so much as it was to still the disquieted natures of others having two houses align in such a manner.” – she offered honestly and with somewhat surprising openness. Caim and she had <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : always been drawn to each other it was true, yet that is not what had sparked the arrangement, but it was the satisfaction of a contract made long before either of them were born into this world.-“Tea would be delightful, thank you”- She found one of the lounge chairs and settled within it letting one leg lazily cross over the other- “They<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : are not used to having someone in the household to whom they can be something less than perfect with…I have warned them that such will get them into trouble some day, but they seem for the time content to ignore my warnings. I suppose I tolerate it myself if only because I have the smallest inkling of compassion for the amount<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : of angst I cause them. You see it’s this little game we play…I move something and they have the day to sort it out before caim sees it. – she smiled fondly at this statement wondering if anyone might notice she’d turned the time keeping piece upside down. It was mounted on the wall across from caim’s desk and looked nearly identical. < 4
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : She had to be crafty of course else they’d undo all her good work as they often tried, but she was getting better at it giving a whole new name to the idea of organized chaos.- “I understand that you are the one predominantly responsible for the reinstitution of the library, is there a date yet set for its reveal to the public?
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : "-end_
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : `oh you like keeping people on their toes..` adds the boiling water over the tea bags, pouring milk into a small silver jug placing it all on a tray.. Oh very English like, but then Sorra here was born in England, etiquette and finesse oozed from her pores, certainly at times where she could entertain..well at this degree any way. `I would think that being in Caims employ would keep them on their toes to begin with, he does not come over as too..lenient ` she was about to say forgiving but chose against it>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : the tray was set down upon the near by table, Sorra would take up the adjacent chair. `I feel for them` she did not sound pained by the way of her explanation, picking up the pot, giving it a swirl in an anti clock wise motion before pouring. `I hope he it contented by my efforts to repair that tomb he has been so eager to get his paws on` At the word of furry appendages, would also be applied to the fact that Sorra here was a were cat. It would be how she moved and those abnormal yet striking hues that >
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : may or may not betray what she was. Sorra certainly came over as quite the proper human, when in truth she was far from it. Human that is. Pushes the cup across the wooden surface. `How are things coming along for you..adjusting ok` Sorra was uncanny in her ability to home in on things that others may not. Making public an engagement was no small thing after all. Rae came over as capable to rise to the challenge, but the half breed doubted it would be easy. People beyond the walls vanity were talking >
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : and such talk never bode well in the long run <e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : Not exactly…this place is too ordered and lacks balance in that measure…I am of harmony and dissonance is an equal measure of my nature. People seem to forget that…”-she frowned slightly, but then perked back up and continued talking-“ It bothers me how orderly it is here sometimes, so I simply seek to make it<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : more…livable. Of course, it has as a result become something of a tede tat’ that I’ve come to enjoy, though I’ll never confess such to another living soul if pressed upon it.”- She took the tea grateful for it, those slim digits circling about the cup as she lifted it near to her features and breathed in the steaming warmth of it. A< <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : contended sigh rumbling past those lips before she finally indulged in a drink of the hot liquid.-“ I am certain he will be. Few truly appreciate how distraught he has been over the absence of tomes. It is…”- she paused clearing her throat putting on some compressed version of Vera and Caim as she could-“The cities life’s blood <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : and we can’t possibly expect an ill educated society to be a productive one.”- She chuckled softly before taking another sip of the tea.-“This really is divine, thank you.”- A nearly mischievous look touched her features when asked how she was adjusting to life among the Vain.-“Oh, they are adjusting well enough to me I suppose.<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : I imagine there will be a few kinks along the way, but nothing we can’t ultimately sort out.”- She mused clearly having no intention of conforming to the usual expectation of Caim Elfhiem. The look shifted again to something more personal yet equally impish, she had successfully gotten the man to take her out in the courtyard…against<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : the fountain. The slaves she was certain whispered about the event, yet she’d not heard on peep of it from anyone….good for them, Caim might lash them if they spoke out of turn. It took effort not to look towards the window and it wouldn’t have mattered besides…she didn’t think this room faced the fountain. Likely best<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : for all concerned. She had not been a quiet mate.- “He is complicated creature though isn’t he?”- she mused thoughtfully, fondly even.-“Tell me, is there any particular tome he has you working on?”- she asked genuinely curious-end-
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : Concluded Rae `s statement about Caim being complicated with a soft smile `he certainly seems that way ` Giving a nod to the compliment about the tea. Sorra did enjoy a good cup of earl grey. Clasping the cup between the flat of her hands prior to supping the hot liquid `some tomb in a language I can not quite translate fully` She really had no clue as to what the pages of that book contained other than the head of House vanity wished to have it as soon as possible. Sorra of all creatures >
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : knew about not being able to rush perfections. Adjusting her frame there within the chair she occupied, both legs coming under their slight weight. `I think people were shocked by such an admission ` nods..almost scalding her mouth by taking too much of the tea onto her mouth. She opted to wait for it to cool. `the library is coming on though..slowly but..to be expected..the earth quake caused so much damage and..loss` It was not about books now, but life. `as for kinks..of you need assistance there..`>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : trails of.. leaving the woman to think of what ever she said as they felt and seen fit. Sorra was still adjusting to this place, true she could go back and forth as she pleased, the method of such, coming in the form of the blue pendant that was dangling from a simple and fine silver chain about her throat. It was used with great care, had to be given the danger that came with being an literal off world pilgrim. Fingers came up to touch the jewel, eyes growing a little distant before returning just as>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : quickly so to focus on the woman close by <e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : -Mine. That is what he had called her that night and she had readily agreed with the sentiment. She belonged to him now, but it was a different sort of ownership if only because she was permitted the great gift of still being unto herself. Harmony had its claws in first and that was the way she intended to run the house until such a time as <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : proverbial ground rules were laid. They were still the balance between the vain and the corrupt. She was of a mind to box Vera’s ears when next she saw the woman. The entire blasted affair had been her idea and then she hadn’t even bothered to show. It took effort not to pout, the thought have very little to do with the present<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : conversation…what were they talking about oh yes, caim was complicated…well everyone knew that didn’t they? She smiled brilliantly at the woman as she began to explain about the language barriers.- “How interesting. It is rather quite amazing how much can be lost in only a hundred years isn’t it? I suppose that is what the books are for<
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : though. I have recently come across a small cache of texts. It was in an old store house Harmony used, abandoned and dilapidated, but the texts seem to have survived alright. I am having them sent here and hadn’t rightly decided what to do with them, but then I saw you speaking with the skull master(Charles) and thought why of course! Who <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : better to take them into their charge then our restoration specialist and…well are you going to call yourself a librarian? I suppose since we’ve not opened it as yet, we could call it anything and thus you any title of such an establishment as you wished.”- she paused taking another sip of tea. The favor the lady paid her jewel not lost upon the fa
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : fae warranting comment-“That’s lovely”- She nodded to the thing she was fingering-“does it have special meaning?”- she asked sincerely understanding that often times people had sentimental attachments to things. As for her? She only had one and it hardly seemed worth remembering. A dried and pressed flower from her youth.< <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : a gift from a playmate she had once had, though she rightfully didn’t even remember his name. Yet she had kept it even after all these years. Why she was not certain, but such as it was it remained delicately placed between the folds of a book housed in her bedroom.-
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : a chuckle would present its self to the air, at the mention of Librarian oh someone would be quite amused at that title for sure. Looking to her watch, it was getting to be that hour `its not something I am foreign to, Librarian polyglot, translator` gave a gentle shrug of her shoulders.`if you wish me to take care of such texts, I be more than happy to, though it may take considerable time for me to work through them..` saying that it reminded her to broach the subject of her ..Sir. `I am expecting>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : someone to be arriving soon, I would like you to meet them..they are also quite gifted in translation, but more so in recovering..his name is Arikel ` she chose not to say anything more, for it was not her business to. What was taking place and what was building between Tin Man and herself was..none of anyones business, it be like her asking about Rae`s personal affairs. `ohh to have a bigger premise..that would be..` a sigh passed indicating that much relief would come of it. `cramped conditions are not>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : a perfect setting for me` utters honestly. Taking up her tea cup..scowling into it as if any moment something would bite her on the nose..Now the tea was too cold for her liking. Adds more sugar and drinks it regardless. She felt Rae was contemplating numerous things `I am sure you will restore what is needed while your significant will set the cat among the pigeons `..the cat not being her of course..maybe she should correct herself there..It would not only be the staff in the employ of caim that would>
ϿЅѻггΛϾ : be kept on their toes <e>
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : -It was good to finally earn a chuckle from the lips of the woman for which she was most pleased at. Though expected she had missed some internal thought of amusement it had been attached to, still it was the effect she had been looking for. The people of Vanity didn’t smile nearly enough as far as she was concerned and she was aimed to do <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : something about it and once her mind was so set, it was difficult to alter it. Not impossible of course, but difficult.- “I wouldn’t dream of imposing and it is that I have a meeting myself this day with the merchants of cacophony square. Chances are I will be late, but then one cannot be late to one’s own meeting. So I will arrive just on time <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : to start things.”- She grinned slightly rising from the chair and taking a last sip of tea before setting it to the side.-“However, if you feel it pertinent do mention to Arikel that he may wish to drop by to see me. I will leave word both here and at Harmony to anticipate his outreach, though it be not required of course.”- she chuckled lightly <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : to the sentiment concerning Caim-“I have no doubt you are right. It was genuinely a please Sorra, I do so hope we can chat again sometime in the relatively near future.”-she’d cant her head lightly towards the woman and then make a quiet exit making a point to check one of the hall clocks, but pausing as she stopped before it and moved the <
Rαεנııƨα-Oяıяıεтн : minute hand exactly sixty seconds ahead. A small grin playing across her features. She dared anyone to sort that out and then continued on her way. -end-
