*nods* Just curious... I guess you got me thinking, and...
*he fades out as he says this however, leaving his fountain pen and notebook on the table*
** Exit Bard **

*Luana sits there a moment after he fades away, looking at the pen and notebook.*
Okay, Luana, *she says to herself, fairly sure that no one is there to overhear her.* You're better than a snoop. One look, turn no pages, then close it.
*She gets up and walks around the table. Glancing down at the page she reads softly to herself,*
"Time's arrow, fired from Cupid's Bow
Has cleft my heart in twain and now
The two can never be remade as one.
Nor can the wound be made to heal
The flesh to mend, the blood congeal
The potent poison's bitter deed is done.
All that remains is break the shaft
And"
I guess he hasn't finished it yet. Sure is pretty though. *smiles to herself* I bet Ester would get a kick out of this.
*She carefully closes the book and sets the pen on top of it. As she takes a step back she fades out.*
**Exit Luana**

*Mystina fades in, 6 and a half months pregnant, in mid-waddle* Oh!

** Enter Bard **
*Bard fades into a chair, his head lolled back, napping.*

*The faerie notices Bard, and waddles up to him, looking around at him, and peering at him from behind the chair, her face directly over his*

*Bard's eyes flicker open*
Waugh!

*Mystina blinks and jumps away quickly, screaming too a little, because she wasn't expecting him to wake up*
Oh no! Bard are you alright? *She waddles over to him and looks down at him*

Fine.. *Bard says, rubbing his head as he rises* Just fine...
Are you... *he stops, looking at Mystina* ...err... expecting?
*shakes his head*
I mean are you all right?

*Mystina tilts her head* Expecting? Expecting what? *She realizes he meant expecting a baby and then giggles and nods*
Yes, I am, a little girl. And I'm fine. *She smiles, offering a hand to help Bard get up*

*Bard doesn't take Mystina's hand, more afraid that he'll hurt her in her delicate condition*
A little girl? That's wonderful! *he smiles* decided on a name yet?

*Mystina shakes her head and smiles* Not yet... We wait usually until the first time we see the babe to name it... Though I have many in mind. *She smiled brightly*
We also usually give a child two names...
Their ritualistic name, and, their common name... The first is decided before birth after reading the child's stars and consulting with a few elders, and then the latter is decided by the Mother.... *She giggled*

*Bard nods, wondering if he can work that into a novel somehow. He glances over and notices his pen and notebook are sitting next to a bottle of absinthe*
Oh... *walks over to it*
Thank God! I thought I'd lost this! *he picks up the pen*

*Mystina waddled after him and tilted her head* Is it a special pen of some sort? *She giggled and smiled*
And..what's that stuff in the bottle?

*Bard holds the pen out for Mystina to see* It was a gift from an old friend of mine.
And the bottle... that's absinthe. It's very strong alcohol.

*Mystina looks at the pen and smiles* It's a very nice pen, I must say.... *she giggled and tilted her head* we don't usually use pens where I come from unless it's the record keepers... Or chart-makers...
Ahh, now I know what alcohol is... *she giggled* I'm guessing that it's human, which would be why I've never heard of it... *She grinned suddenly, and placed her hand on her stomach* I think my little one is trying to say 'hi' to you. *She laughed*
