I am as well! Haha, on all accounts. The beginning and ending are pretty much down pat, but the middle, is still iffy at best. I have one more scenario to portray before I probably decide to redo the entire section.

Well I'll be out at my parents' tomorrow.
I'll get Mom's feedback and I'll probably be able to talk my youngest brother into his as well
I'm hoping to bounce ideas off Mom for the middle section.

Guh, I totally wish I could get some ideas from someone near me. The only one I can do that with remotely is my sister.

We're having Kay's birthday dinner with my family tomorrow...
that's the catch. I hope that Mom will have the time.

Is your sister the only one near you or the only one interested in your writing?
Edit: Sorry if that came across as rude, I didn't mean it that way. ^^;

When Rivek appeared before her, Teagan gasped out of shock. She hadn't actually expected her attempt to work. Her pulsed raced. "Miss?" she answered, a bit confused. He hadn't been formal with her since the day they'd first met. But quickly her mind turned to the more important matter at hand, though she was so frightened that her thoughts were jumbled up.

"Rivek..." she said quietly, getting up from her chair, "You're in danger." She stepped towards him but stopped, blushing as she released how disheveled she must look. "I don't know what you are exactly, or why you can be summoned with your own feathers, but you've got two people searching for you, and honestly I don't like either one." She stared at him intensely, frowning a bit.

"I was just...'interrogated' a while ago, by a burly man, going on and on about that woman I had to fight a week ago...Devaena...Devaena was already inquiring about you, and I tried so hard to stop her, but she almost killed me in the process...and now she's...living two rooms away..." Teagan took a deep breath. She was tired and confused and her speech was probably confusing Rivek more than necessary.

"A man attacked me, swearing up and down that I'd told Devaena things about you....about the one eyed god, about your talismans.. and I never spoke a word about that to her. Hell, Rivek I was half convinced it was just a fairy tale to calm me down..." She started to look agitated and paced around him.

"But of course it's not, is it? It's true. Somehow the story is true, metaphorically or not, and now you have two people on your a**, and I won't have it. I don't know how you're summoned with your feathers, I don't know who the one eyed god really is, and I don't know what the talismans are or why they're important. But that doesn't matter to me!" She stepped up to Rivek and put her hands on his shoulders, keeping her stare directed to the center of his eyes.

"I don't care what you are, or what powers are involved, but you're in danger. Whether it's that terrifying ugly man that assaulted me, or that brutish woman, someone is trying to take advantage of you, and I'm just so sick of not being able to protect you!!" Her voice faltered at the end of her sentence, and her hands were trembling, trying to hold on to his shoulders.

"And I'm sorry, Rivek...yes I'm still trying to break the clouds in my head. I got drunk again and to compound it, I was slugged in the head earlier. I'm not at my best, and I know I'm not making much sense. But please....please just trust me. Make yourself scarce, at least to the people who keep stalking you. Please don't get yourself hurt..."

Teagan's lip quivered as she struggled to keep herself from crying. Rivek was her first friend she'd made, and she'd be damned if she was going to lose him to a couple of lurking creeps.

"I think maybe for a while you shouldn't be so...social..." She added. "If you really need the money from your job...I can cover you. Please don't work at Dead Man's only if you feel you have to. Your enemy is staying only rooms away. I'm terrified of what she could do to you."

Teagan's eyes dropped in defeat. She always felt so utterly useless.

"If you were beat over the head, you might want to lie back down." he said, sitting on the edge of the bed. He took her shaking hands.

So - Devaena was for sure after him. Why? Then again, there were just bad people out there. At least that confirmed it. But who was the burly man? Was Devaena hiring thugs? He didn't want things to get too ugly.

"I'm - touched - by your concern," he said. "But - if I were you - I wouldn't worry my pretty little, beat up, head over it. You've already helped me enough by telling me what you know."

He sighed, "I don't actually need money. Bartending is secondary. It supports my first job in another way... But I'm afraid the primary one basically requires me to get into trouble. And then, I get paid in flesh. Just like the fairy tales - I get to be a real boy again."

"You see, 'what' I am is defined by my profession - and it's a bit difficult to explain. But in essence, I am a contractor. I'm glad you figured out how to use the feather. It's for writing. Writing contracts. That I - your living butler doll - fulfill."

It was getting too easy to say that. No, I am a human being.

"I mean, consider that you're alive when you know for a fact you've died. Fairy tales can come true some times."

He scoffed, "Yes, I'd rather not see me hurt, either. But I would also rather not let you get hurt along with me." He unwrapped his hand to emphasize his point. "After all - hurt? Can't hurt someone who can't feel pain."

He put his finger to his lips and winked, "I'm not going to tell you what the talismans are, but you're a clever girl - you can figure how it all works."
I need to decide what to do today......XD

Teagan released her hands from Rivek and moved to her bed again, slowly climbing in under the covers. Normally she'd stand and argue, but her head was killing her, so much that she needed to lie down that very instant.

"Rivek..." she said softly, pulling up sheets over her. "I can't say with any certainty that I've died...or that I've just been dreaming this entire secondary life on Serendipity. But I can say that I do care about you, probably more than I should...and I swear to God Almighty, if you get hurt.." she let her sentence trial off, closing her eyes as she lay back down.

"I can't let the first friend I've made in over six years, just rush into trouble." she finished, exhausted. She longed to stand and give him a hug, but he'd probably reject it, or say something smug to push her away.

"Just please don't let yourself get hurt..." she mumbled, about to pass out again. Out of emotional and physical exhaustion, she whispered, "I love you too much." She was too tired to accept that she'd muttered it aloud, and too tired to consider whether she meant it or not. In a minute, she was fast asleep, her fingers still clutching the feather in her right hand.

My choice for Laveris is based only partially on looks, the rest on poise and general performance, which is why I chose a clip rather than a picture of a young Lauren Bacall. XD



Although if you really don't want to/can't watch the clip, here's a still:

"I have yet to find a decent body of water on this plane...." Pahkakino muttered, not really caring all that much himself, since Abyss didn't really have the liquid in abundance either. "Well, there are a few animals about the city, and some weirder creatures on the other land masses." Turning his back to Saphirus he crouched, "Hop on. We'll see what there is to eat."

He smiled over his shoulder, the expression somewhat wild and one fang was showing as he spread his wings out.

Pahkakino's request to 'hop on' took Saphirus aback. So far Pahkakino seemed trustworthy, but Saphirus wasn't sure he trusted him that far yet. Anyway the idea seemed peculiar.

Saphirus thought of his alternatives. One of the divine abilities of high ranking clerics of the coatles was the ability to spiritually manifest the wings of a coatle for a time. All his life Saphirus had been told that his spiritual gifts were sacred. He would never manifest his wings for something as trivial as tranportation. However now he was in a strange place and in desperate need. He had a potential companion and if the needs of the situation demanded it...

"That is unnecessary." Saphirus stated politely. "I can join you in flight - for a time at least. I'll just need to cast a spell."
