re: moving to dw

[aureate]

You know I will miss Nuala and Edward if they cannot bring themselves to follow. Meta the hell of out them, babydoll, bring me my greatest loves! God's teeth, Quinn would be the sweetest of gifts to me here even if that little hellion Mona dragged on his heels. Take Claudia to me! Take Marius and throw him toward these open arms, he'll be weeping within the week if I disappear for too long, no matter the scathing sweetness his red devil whispers by way of comfort. You know how they are, ma chérie, we'll have to rock on either way.

So!

New coat, crushed velvet in cobalt, silver embroidery of arabesques all down the front in the old-style. You'll give it to me, won't you? You know it. Chantilly soaked into my new silk shirts over here in memory of Aunt Queen, the old darling was a rave of inspiration for us all. Bring me home to myself if nowhere else, sweetheart, do it as fast as possible or I couldn't bear the most minor of accented differences.

I want Louis, he must be here. He must be with me.

You're ripping apart a family and it isn't endearing in the slightest, watch out for your own personal Goblin. I'd call it your conscience.

Oh, my Lestat; I have saved you a place.

[aureate]

You -!

You are the sneakiest woman I have ever met, my love, do you know it? I was all set to break my old heart over you, yet here you are; my savior, my muse, my darling.

[cailisairgid]

I can never stand for you to be sad, dear.

[aureate]

Dear God, embrace me now, as horridly cold as this husk is. Will you do that? Forget it, come here.

Nuala.

[cailisairgid]

[ not only can there be embraces, perhaps even the clasping of hands. ]

You are truly a sight for sore and tired eyes-- it has been so cold in my life, lately, and your sentiment is warmth enough.

[aureate]

[ Oh, why would anyone willingly do that? He's like a marble statue, those nails are akin to glass; can she stand it? He's a moving immortal mountain, and his nuzzles are affectionate beyond the telling as he inhales of her hair. Holds her gently, not wanting to cause even the slightest hurt. ]

Come, tell your old friend what's up. I'm sure as Hell not leaving your side now that you've returned to mine. What's happened?

[cailisairgid]

[ that which is monstrous has always had its beauty, to the fae, and she's always had such a terrible soft-spot for vampires. call it a personality flaw-- or a quirk, only, and what good company they are to her, lestat most especially. ]

For all its flaws, Baedal is a city to give me such profound hope-- and yet I wonder if it doesn't punish me somehow. I felt the nearness of my brother so fleetingly, I think perhaps he fights his way to me; I can think of little else.

[aureate]

Shall I fetch him for you?

[ Look at him; awfully confident, earnest and meaning every word he speaks. He'll do it, too, go to the ends of the earth to keep his word. ]

[cailisairgid]

Nothing could better please me than his company and yours.

[ elfhearts :3 ]

[aureate]

[ dokidoki XO ]

I've missed you a ton, Nuala. Tell me how much you've missed me, indulge my loneliness.

[cailisairgid]

I dreamed I had your company, and woke to days that seemed a little duller for its lack.

[ you two. ]

[aureate]

I'm here now, baby, it's all good. Not a thing missing, we'll get it all back for you, piece by piece.

[ Stroking her hair, he smiles on a blond crown. His widdle elf, yessir. ]

[cailisairgid]

[ what is that? oh it's a little sigh of contentment, that's what that is. ]

There is so much I would so like to share with you-- the woods, and the moonlight--

Will you come, Lestat?

[aureate]

I will do my absolute best to be with you once more, you know I can't stay away.

[ A kiss to her forehead, tender and cool. ]

I want this, Nuala. I want us to have something together, do you feel the same?

[cailisairgid]

As my heart beats. [ so, yes, then. ]

[aureate]

I adore the sound of it.

[ Yes, good. Mine. ]

Tender Nuala, wiser than me by leagues.

[cailisairgid]

Wise enough, only; I resolve always to do better. And what could the company of friends so dear do but aid me in that?

[aureate]

You just like flirting with me.

[cailisairgid]

I couldn't be faulted.

[aureate]

[ Hahaaaa, he's going to cuddle this one until her hair frizzes. ]

Nor could I, with you. [ A thumb brushes delicately over the cusp of a cheek, seeking out any hint of a blush. His chest and soft velvet frock coat are made for snuggling, isn't it warm there? Abububu. ] Have you made many new friends in this extraordinary city?

[cailisairgid]

[ it is the cosiest! and look, they can share her shawl. ]

So many that I am so proud of-- and some lost, already, too. [ Dean's funeral :'C it was the saddest of days ] A few enemies, but such is the price of politics.

[ would you believe she is a calculated gameplayer? ... well, lestat probably would, yes, actually, nevermind. other people tend to underestimate her utter ruthlessness. ]

And my Anna; oh, you'd adore her. Kindred vampire, but touched with the power of fae, and so coltish new to both-- I have such high hopes for her.

[aureate]

[ Shawl!times. ]

Sometimes I think you only want me for my fangs.

[ DRAMATIC SIGH. Really, he only ever plays this much when he's utterly happy, and Nuala brings that mood out of him. He's paying attention! Just ... bouncing around his own head. ]

[cailisairgid]

For your eloquence, Lestat; I could listen to you talk for hours.

[indiscreet]

Ah, I've been mentioned now. That really does mean I should be introducing myself, doesn't it?

I'm Anna -- her Anna, rather. [ touch of pride there, though she's also delicately ignoring the revelation that faemommy Princess Nuala cuddles ]

And of course you will be coming, yes? There are too few vampires in the city who are worth talking to, in my opinion.

[aureate]

Then your opinion must be raised up by my presence, mustn't it? They'd veer from you in the streets if they knew you kept company with me, little girl, make no mistake about that. I go there, I rule it.

Who owns a coven in the city? And nice to meet you, Anna.
