Oh, I . . . I wouldna e'en know where te begin. I'm sure I must sound a bit silly but . . . 'tis just . . . everything. The sound of his voice, of his laughter, the way he gets so engrossed in whate'er he's doing . . . the feel of his arms around me . . . the way he's so kind and patient, not just with me, but with my son especially . . . *she looks off in the distance, smiling, her eyes bright*
I suppose, more than anything, 'tis the way I feel when I'm with him. As though I could be more than I e'er dreamed I might be. As though I'm better, somehow, for knowing him . . . or that I could be, at least . . . *she trails off, realizing she's starting to ramble*

*Melliandra laughs, amused by Maggie's obvious delight* But don't you think he's a bit too tall?

*Maggie can't help but laugh a little, herself* He is very tall. But, I confess, I rather like that about him as well.

*Melliandra laughs* You'll give that man a swollen head. I'm not so sure he deserves it.
*she taps her fan against the table a moment, considering* I think we ought to have some wine, don't you?

*It hadn't occured to Maggie, but now that she thinks on it, she supposes it would be rather appropriate to sitting and talking like this* Shall I fetch some, then? *she offers*

Oh, allow me! *Melliandra says, starting to rise* After teasing you the way I did, it's the least I can do...
Unless... *she appraises Maggie thoughtfully* ... the last time we met, you conjured a sword out of thin air.. which I admit is a pretty good trick all things considered... can you do that with other objects?

*Maggie nods* Aye . . . Tavin taught me how te do it. I've been improving with practice, I think, though I still have te concentrate rather hard te manage it. Here . .. *she closes her eyes, her brows drawing together. Sure enough, within a few moments, she's summoned up a bottle and two glasses. She opens her eyes again, not even pale from it now, and smiles to see she's succeeded* There now . .

*Melliandra nods in approval* I'm impressed. Very impressed. *she sits back down* You really must tell me how it's done. *she considers* But later, I think, since you still have questions to ask me, if I'm not mistaken.
*she pours the wine, lifting her glass* Well, what shall we drink to?

*Maggie nods in response to her first request, then accepts a glass from her and ponders for a moment*
*she glances down at the book still resting on the table and lets out a slightly self-conscious laugh* Te . . . learning new things, I suppose.

*Melliandra grins and raises her glass* To learning new things. *she takes a sip of the wine*
Not half bad.

*Maggie smiles, taking a sip from her own glass* Aye, 'tis really rather good *She says, pleased that she managed not only to summon wine up, but good wine at that*
*she looks down at the book once more, takes another sip of wine, a deep breath, and dives in* I . . . canna read very well, yet, but . . . *she hesitates, then slides the book over so it's resting evenly between them* E'en what I can make out is rather . . . confusing. I just feel as though I haven't the first idea what I'm about.

*Melliandra lifts the bottle and refills Maggie's glass. She then turns her attention to the book* Well, let me see...
*she begins paging through it* Correct me if I'm wrong, but since you have a son, I suppose you're no stranger to the mechanics of it. So really what you want to learn is technique.
*She looks up at Maggie pointedly*

I got to see his time. I saw the sort of things women wear there. I think people of Bard's time are a lot more sexually aware.
*Melliandra sips at her wine, gesturing for Maggie to the same*

*Linda immediately comes to mind, but she doesn't mention her. She takes another sip from her glass at Mell's prompting* Aye, I think they must be. He took me there once and . . . *she trails off, looking at Mell in sudden surprise*
He . .. took ye te his world? But ye're from an earlier time than e'en I am . . are ye alright? Did ye not get ill from it?
