Week 9: 062 Adoption January 21, 2013
Tilli took a turn that gave her a view of the hallway and smiled when she saw the gaurds standing outside the door of the room they had made their gathering place for the winter. "Is this the place?" Sete asked, "I know I can walk the world but I do like to sit down now and again."
"Yes." Tilli said as she started down the hallway, the guards were a sure sign that Dolle was inside. The door opened and as she had expected the white haired mage was inside, but the man Tilli had come to refer to as her shadow was not.
Dolle ordered the men to do something, most likely to close the door, before she threw a book at it as it clicked shut. "If you keep throwing those things I may have to something." Fren said as he spoke up from a couch that faced the fireplace and hid his lanky figure. Tilli made a quick debate to not be with Sete that Ri definitely was and Den more than likely was somewhere in the room or one of the adjacent ones.
"May I remind you what those books of yours are made of?" Dolle snapped back as the door opened to admit Kirsch and Den soaked through to the skin, "And how many times am I going to have to let you keep the colds you get because you are too dense to come inside when it rains?"
Ri leaned back on her perch enough to be seen around the edge and Fren poked his head over the top of the couch before the two men were surrounded by a quick blanket of flames, once the fires disappeared they were dry.
"I do not feel like listening to another argument today." Fren said when everyone turned their attention to him.
"I trust you two are smart enough not to have injured yourselves." Dolle said as she crossed her arms.
"Nothing that we need her to patch up." Kirsch said and Tilli took a deep breath in expectation of a fight she would have to break up, again.
"Your mother will be the death of me." Dolle's shadow said as he entered the room and Tilli released her breath.
"Which one?" Kirsch asked and Tilli turned her attention to Dolle and the questions that now needed answers.
"Does it matter?" Idell said as he sat down on the closest piece of furniture. "They are all going to."
"How many mothers do you have?" Tilli asked when it was clear that it was the only way it was going to get asked.
"Three." Idell said, "She has three and a woman who might as well be, and they are all going to kill me."
"They are not going to kill you." Dolle said, "They have more important things to worry about than killing my fiance. I would worry more about your mother, she has nothing to do since your sister took the throne."
Idell groaned and Tilli was glad the politics of Traders was nothing compared to that of the Warring Lands.

Week 10: Hiding Behind Lies January 26, 2013
"Where did you tell them I was, what did you say I was doing?" Dolle asked stuck somewhere between anger and confusion "What rumors did you spread about me for the last five years?"
"I said what I had to." Theline said her voice raised enough to let her daughter know she was angry and still remain civil, "I said what was needed to keep you safe and to keep my kingdom safe."
"Because that has worked so well before?" Dolled yelled back as she spotted a pitcher on the table and threw it at the wall where it bounced off unharmed, she screamed a curse at the metal pitcher and then her mother. "Have you ever told the truth?"
"When it was the better option yes." Theline said as she picked up the pitcher and placed it on the table with a solid sound. "I hid you behind layers of lies because the truth would have placed you in danger."
Dolle reached for the pitcher to throw it again but was stopped when her mother grabbed her wrist, "You were young and you were angry, you were not thinking clearly so I did what I thought was best." Theline stared her in the eye, "You are still angry but you need to learn to control yourself. You are a City trained mage you can at least act like that."
Dolle took a deep breath and pulled her hand free, a quick surge of magic and the wood door to the room flew open, the shutters on the windows slammed shut, and the wooden furniture in the room decided if it was going to topple over, morph into an indistinguishable yet colorful blob, or simply shatter into splinters.
"I cut my ties with the City you should at least remember that truth." Dolle said as she walked out if the room.
