canon is changeling the lost

[aninnocentdeath]

Mon dieu. Is it necessary to detain me like this? I am a doctor, as you know, and I am not helping anyone if you continue to 'bring me out'. I am happiest when at work. You know this, also.

I would prefer to be left alone, please. I must put my talents to beneficial use.

oh my god yes CtL people

[ a pleasant sort of curiosity ] What are you doing so far away from home? And now you want to go even further -- how strange!

You really ought to come back, you know.

ROLLS AROUND IN EXCITEMENT oh my gosh!!

[aninnocentdeath]

Mademoiselle, I am already irreparably far from home. That cannot be helped. If I could come back, I would...

[ He falters a little in his already hesitant speech. He is always nervous around other people, even other changelings. ]

What kind of home do you speak of, mademoiselle?

:D ...also: thekeepers.dreamwidth.org just sayin'

[figura]

[ she smiles ] Ah, so you do want to return! That's wonderful! After all, the Queen loves us all so very much.

So I mean her realm, of course! There are other realms too, but hers is best, I think.

...What else could I possibly mean?

oh my gosh that is super neat

[aninnocentdeath]

...I think you and I may have different places to call home, mademoiselle. I have only ever met one Queen, and I doubt that I was ever loaned into the service of the Queen you speak of.

The world outside fair Arcadia, of course. [ he sounds hesitant. ]

eventually we will set up indurance.dreamwidth.org too \o/

[figura]

[ a tilt of the head; her brow furrows ] The world...outside...?

[ her tone changes slightly -- less singsong, more actively contemplative ] I think I had a dream once, about when I was small, and there was a man, and he was lighting candles, and telling me and my sister a story. Things in the dream were nice. It wasn't like living with the Queen at all.

But it's interesting in this dream too. (( what is this "clarity" you speak of ))

\o/!!

[ he feels sorry for her. she's obviously still under the sway of a Keeper, unable to tell the difference between her previous life as a mortal and her experiences of Arcadia. ]

Beyond the Thorns.

Hold onto those dreams, mademoiselle. They will serve you well, in time. [ If she ever manages to find her way home. He wishes her well in that. ]

I am sure it is, and more pleasant than my dreams were in Arcadia. [ clarity 0 ]

it is a thing in the works, and it makes me happy

[figura]

(( wyrd 10 clarity 0 means you win the game, right? ))

I never knew there was such a thing as Beyond the Thorns.

I will try to remember, since I like all my dreams. But my sister says I've forgotten so many already. And the Queen is angry when I talk about the wrong ones, and she makes the dreams hurt.

[ a pause, and she smiles again ] I'm so happy here!

Forever late, but I had to drop a comment because CtL!

[nomorefeathers]

You will find those that call themselves 'our muns' are nearly as quixotic as our Keepers were.

[aninnocentdeath]

[ the mask inclines itself in a nod. there's a soft sigh. ]

At the very least, this one is far less cruel. Although it is possibly because she feels sorry for me.

[nomorefeathers]

So far perhaps. Mine keeps throwing me all sorts of new places. As if I haven't been through enough.

Milk the pity while you can. It often turns in to 'how else can I torture this one'.
