Zara wakes up in her room in Scarsdale. Lazy toe wiggle
catnik 11:46am
HER room. Home.
earldebuke 11:46am
Good morning 1122 taps
catnik 11:47am
"Good morning, little love."
earldebuke 11:49am
An arachnid bow, The ladies are keeping an eye on Earl for you, at least some of them are. Ah yes, Zara has them refer to Earl as 'He who has not been devoured yet so he must be quite enjoyable' not that she has told Earl this.
catnik 11:56am
"They are a decent lot. Are you enjoying the company?"
earldebuke 12:01pm
Indeed! Happily
shadylady 12:01pm
Zara's phone rings.
catnik 12:01pm
She frowns, and goes fumbling for her phone. A call? How gauche.
shadylady 12:04pm
The number is familiar; August's.
catnik 12:07pm
"...hello?"
shadylady 12:08pm
A pause. "Hello." Quietly.
shadylady 12:09pm
"I wanted to say thank you. The lace spiderweb......"
catnik 12:09pm
"Aye. Twas for thee."
shadylady 12:10pm
"I treasure it."
shadylady 12:11pm
"I am sorry I did not see you. Thank you for coming, though."
catnik 12:11pm
"Oh, but you did." He can almost HEAR the smile, even at a whisper.
shadylady 12:12pm
A soft sound of laughter. "I won't ask, then. I will try to figure it out on my own."
shadylady 12:12pm
"Ah. How late did you stay?"
catnik 12:14pm
"Well, once the mad dash occurred... nay, I danced for a time with my Hunter, before we went travelling. We saw several holds, in truth."
shadylady 12:15pm
"You have always loved to wander on a holiday." Gently.
catnik 12:16pm
"I do. Though..." A sigh. "You cannot live at three places at once. I feel I have been lax..."
shadylady 12:17pm
"It's my fault. I'm consistantly thoughtless, and rude. You have been the soul of generousity. I'm sorry, again, Zara. I miss you."
earldebuke 12:20pm
1122 might be edging closer
catnik 12:20pm
"I miss you, too."
catnik 12:21pm
"I... forgive... I.. I fear I am not so...."
catnik 12:21pm
"Vassar is lovely... but..."
shadylady 12:22pm
"But?" gently.
catnik 12:22pm
"But it is.. not.. not what I had thought it would be."
shadylady 12:23pm
A soft exhale. "It isn't?"
catnik 12:26pm
"It... classes... Miriam.. strangers... " she trails off.
shadylady 12:26pm
"Bullies?"
catnik 12:26pm
"Nay."
catnik 12:26pm
"Strangers."
shadylady 12:28pm
"No friends?"
catnik 12:30pm
"...no..."
shadylady 12:31pm
"I'm sorry."
shadylady 12:31pm
"How are Miriam, and Jacob?"
catnik 12:32pm
"Jacob is... annoying, but he seems to believe that is his job."
catnik 12:32pm
"Miriam is... busy..."
shadylady 12:34pm
"At least she's there?"
catnik 12:35pm
".... aye..." She sounds sadly resigned.
shadylady 12:37pm
"Oh, Zara.... I wish there was something I could do to make it better."
shadylady 12:37pm
"Is there anything?"
catnik 12:44pm
"I know not."
catnik 12:44pm
"I just.. I thought it would be different."
earldebuke 12:50pm
(Pause)
shadylady 2:30pm
"It is disappointing."
catnik 2:31pm
"Aye."
catnik 2:32pm
"I know not how to be better, but I think I cause her pain."
