016 - The lady stands in her bower door / As straight as a willow wand

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She appears in her little grotto in the woods, which now looks quite comfortable, actually. There's an oilcloth lean-to set up against one of the trees cushions spread under it, a neatly stacked pile of firewood, even the beginnings of a garden near the stream. She drops a bag on the ground, pulls her sheathed sword free from her belt and drops it on top.

She looks troubled by something, perhaps a little dazed.]

...at least I'm home. At least I can come home.

Home? You've made this place your home?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[His clothes are still torn up and such, but at least he's washed them and himself in the river by now.]

... Home?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Takes in his appearance with a raised eyebrow.] Who did you upset?

[Flops onto the grass] Home. What about it?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

It always has been, lass. Well, not this place per say. Are you feeling all right?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[As been busy hiding the bazooka in the woods anyway]

Looks like you made yourself comfortable here.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... A building?

I— Wasn't your home someplace like... [Augh, he doesn't remember; she introduced herself a looong time ago.] Tor...?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

...Uh, okay.

Am I--yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Have WTF look.] ....you too?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... What?

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

Hey, Aniki! You seem to be in a good mood.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Tortall. You were dragged there too?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

No, that's... what you said your home was called.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Hello, lass. [Distracted smile] Glad to have a normal end to a strange day.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

'course. It was here or that theater.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Slight frown, but she shrugs off Toph's response]

Just wondering... It's been a bit of an odd day, that's all.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Have a look] No need to make fun of me, laddiebuck.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I'm not.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Slight building headache. And still giving him a Look.] Why would I... call that place my home, lad? Really.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Why would you call this place your home? [slightly skeptical] Did your parents meet here?

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

How was it strange?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Must have. [Shrug] Are you feeling all right?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Frowns a little at the brush-off answer.] ... Why wouldn't I?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

It... [For a moment she looks like she's going to say more, then she shakes her head.] Just glad to be back where things make sense.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

So you just decided you liked the woods better?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Starts unpacking her little bag. A few sets of clothes, nonperishables... She shrugs again.] You're asking odd questions, is all. How did you know about that place?
