I10DT - Far Away

"And don't let anyone tell you otherwise." she smirks.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:38 am

"Wasn't planning on it," she said as she set the glasses down and poured.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:47 am

"Thanks." she says, taking a glass and holding it up. "Here's to you, Morrigan. Thanks for letting me crash on your metaphorical porch."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:50 am

"And here's to you, for opening my eyes time and again," she said as she raised her own glass to touch.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:53 am

"Now I regret going for a joke." she smiles and takes a sip.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:55 am

"What can I say? With you calling me Morrigan, it seemed apt."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:01 am

"I'm just glad to see you comfortable about it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:04 am

"You can call me Sam, you can call me Morrigan. They both feel right, though there's... flavors, to each."

"And I suppose this is odd to say, but especially when you say it because I can feel that you mean it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:10 am

"There is, isn't there? Which I suppose makes sense, there's certain implications. Which, by the way, is why I shall refrain from calling you 'Headmistress McManus' in public."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:13 am

"I'm recused from most matters directly involving you anyway. Blatant conflict of interests. So aye, Headmistress but not your Headmistress."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:17 am

"Of course. Though that's not even what I meant." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:18 am

She chuckled.

"Not the first point I've missed today, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:31 am

"You're off your game today." she teases.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:33 am

"Aye well, we're all allowed a few of those."

"So you just don't want to be overly formal?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:37 am

"Sure, let's say it's that." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 12:23 pm

"You know, I generally do avoid reading your mind..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 12:46 pm

"There already are some students gawking at us, you don't think that'd make it worse?" she smirks.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:07 pm

"Ah, and here I was trying to avoid the naughty schoolgirl connotations, lest you scold me again."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:12 pm

"As if I have any ground to stand on." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:19 pm

"I did promise I'd be good," she smirked, sipping her wine.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:27 pm

"Do you sometimes feel that things just... seem surreal? Not when they actually get surreal but just this moment. Like it almost doesn't make sense to be sitting here so peacefully."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:31 pm

"You mean that it feels wrong, somehow?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:36 pm

"No... I mean yes but not like that. Just... like something is wrong. Or waiting to go wrong. When I know for a fact that's not true..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:38 pm

"...rather creeps in during quiet times, doesn't it?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:45 pm

"A little, yes." she admits. "You think you're doing okay but it keeps creeping back in. And I can't just meditate all the time to push it away..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:49 pm

"...aye. And I already know what you're going to say to this, without even being a precognitive, but that doesn't stop me from wishing I could help more."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:56 pm

Nailah smiles. "It's the truth. But at times like these I wish you could too." she admits.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 1:58 pm

"Perhaps that's why we ended up tangled up in this business. For all its complexities, it's a lot bloody simpler than being human."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 2:05 pm

"That's for sure!" she laughs. It only sounds a little desperate too.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 2:16 pm

"Though don't mistake me, I'll support you as the literature professor just as much as I support you as a priestess and sorceress."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 2:56 pm

"I know. And it'll be good to have something mundane to put myself into again. Something normal."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 2:57 pm

"Aye, even if that goes out the window when we get home."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:40 am

"It's not like I'll entirely leave that behind in the classroom. I may have been joking but there is a sphinx teaching literature here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 2:19 am

"And we're richer for it, particularly if you do a unit on wordplay," she smirked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:00 am

"I'll have you know that puns are the lowest form of communication." she chuckles. "And riddles are so 500 BC. What walks on two legs in the morning... Please."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:14 am

"What do you suggest, then?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:30 am

"I have a whole journal full of metaphors and imagery for them to wreck their heads over." she smirks.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:31 am

"Well that hardly seems fair if there's the usual penalty for failure..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:39 am

"I do try to be fair. It's really more a thought exercise."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:40 am

"Ah, then sphinxes have gotten soft over the centuries."
