Main Attraction

She nods. "But I did. I thought I saw something but more importantly, something didn't feel right about it. Not in a bad way but just that there was something there."

"And you see more than most. I suppose the spirits wanted you to see me."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:17 pm

"I'm sure of it. I can't claim to know their plans because that'd be blasphemy but there's a reason I found you. Ad if it's just to teach you of the spirits and their ways."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:21 pm

"Maybe not just that. I don't know what they plan either, but I think it would be a shame for that to be the only reason to know you. As kind as you've been, I mean."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:29 pm

"Well I only wanted to be polite but you turned out to be... unlike other white-skins. I was really glad you wanted to listen to me because usually I either teach the small ones or tell the stories to people who already know them. They listen, but they could also probably tell them themselves."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:31 pm

"I think I'll take being unlike my supposed people as a compliment."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:39 pm

"Good, because it is." she smiles. "I like you and not only because you speak the ghost-voices. I've never talked this much with one of your kind. Never wanted to either. But you make me wonder because you're strange in a way different from them."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:41 pm

"And I haven't really known that there were others like me around."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:45 pm

"Not many, but some. It's a shame that you had to hide it and yourself."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:52 pm

"Doesn't seem like hiding was an option for you."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:57 pm

She chuckles. "No, though I never had to among my people. I know you didn't like the attention but I hope you'll find a bit of rest here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:59 pm

"It isn't that I think you should have. It's beautiful, in its way."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:03 pm

"It's a mark that I was chosen. But beautiful?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:05 pm

"Why not? You don't look mismatched."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:11 pm

"If you think so." She may not be convinced but her smile is genuine.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:12 pm

"Has nobody said that to you before?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:18 pm

"No. But I am the shaman and seer. It's not forbidden but... I'm not seen that way. In a way they think I am above those things."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:19 pm

"Sounds lonely."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:22 pm

She smiles wryly. "Told you, didn't I? Sometimes it makes for crazy thoughts."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:23 pm

"I can't judge. I've already thought I'm crazy for a long time."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:27 pm

"Oh I'm sure you could but that's neither here nor there, so..." she smiles faintly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:30 pm

"And I suppose I could always show you some solidarity."

She smirked and held up her hand as her nails grew out, sharpening into claws.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:34 pm

"Thanks. But that's okay. You look great the way you are." she says, nonetheless taking Sam's hand to look at the claws next to hers, at least a little fascinated.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:37 pm

"It's alright. You can touch them. They're as real as yours. I can be the monster out in the wilds, if I need to be."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:42 pm

"Is great honor to run with the animals. You are not monster." she says, something in the back of her mind pointing out that she should probably let go of Sam's hand at some point but it's very quiet.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:46 pm

"That's brave for someone who just met me," she said aloud, giving a grin of teeth that were entirely too sharp.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:51 pm

"Is trust? In spirits and in you."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:53 pm

She let out a breath, her mouth returning to normal.

"...you don't scare easily."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:54 pm

"Don't think anything to be scared of here..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:55 pm

"...maybe I just wanted to make sure."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:59 pm

"And are you now?" she asks, interlacing her fingers with Sam's.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 7:00 pm

She looked again to her hand with a bit of the same confusion she had before, a faint shiver going through her.

"...perhaps I am."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:10 am

"Good..." she smiles softly, leaning in closer until their foreheads almost touch. "Not sure if that what you meant with beautiful..." she whispers.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:13 am

"You... you mean you..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:19 am

"Said I find you curious. Maybe in more way than one..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:20 am

A flush came to her cheeks as she blinked in confusion.

"I heard some stray thoughts, but I didn't know why you'd..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:29 am

"No? You look... beautiful-strange and you think hard and listen. But if you not... I mean..." she says, noticing the confusion.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:32 am

"It's not... it's not something that's done," she mumbled, dodging the question.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:36 am

"Like your kind making camp here?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:37 am

She closed her eyes, letting out a breath.

"...I shouldn't."
