I8DT - Something's missing.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 12:37 pm

Samantha was sitting on the couch in her flat, reading. She seemed restless, shifting her position every now and again, never seeming to quite settle.

After a while of this Nailah put down her journal, leaving the pen between the pages.

"Do I have to go sit somewhere else or are you going to spit out what's bothering you?" she asks with a bit of playful teasing in her voice.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 12:43 pm

"What? Nothing you don't know about, I should think."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 12:51 pm

"Sam you're one step from fidgeting. Either someone in the building is having one hell of a domestic dispute or something is up."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 12:51 pm

"Just... feels as if I've an itch I can't scratch."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 12:55 pm

"I'd ask if I can help, but it's obviously not that..." she says, quirking an eyebrow.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 12:57 pm

"No, not literally, and definitely not that."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:03 pm

"Well, I don't..." she begins with a shrug before she trails off, her eyes focused somewhere on the wall behind Sam.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:04 pm

"...what are you looking at?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:11 pm

"There is something wrong..." she mumbles. "Something feels... off."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:20 pm

"That's what I said. I can't quite place the feeling, though."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:28 pm

"Something's missing. Just a little... Are you sure nothing happened?" she asks, still staring at Sam's shadow on the wall.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:33 pm

"...did you say missing?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:35 pm

"Yeah..." she says, touching Sam's shadow, although unlike Vickie her hand just ends up touching the wallpaper.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:36 pm

"...then that makes a bloody lot of sense," she murmured.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:37 pm

"Come again?" she blinks, looking at Sam again.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:38 pm

"She still has it. She said she'd need to keep it awhile longer."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:39 pm

"Excuse me? Who has what why?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:42 pm

"Victoria needed a vessel for scrying. She... she took a piece of my shadow. Said it had power. I felt it, which puzzled her."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:47 pm

"Bloody hell? She took a piece of your soul and she was surprised you felt it? And then she kept it?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:48 pm

"...she said she'd return it," she mumbled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:55 pm

"And what is she doing with it?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:05 pm

"She's holding Sean's blood within it as a touchstone, I believe."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:16 pm

She frowns, though she has no argument against that, especially with how potentially volatile Sean's blood might be.

"She better have a damn good reason to keep his blood around instead of destroying it..." she grumbles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:17 pm

"I had to trust her, love."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:24 pm

"I'm sure she had no ill intent..." she says, obviously still disgruntled.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:46 pm

"I'm just still not used to being... sensitive to these things, of late."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:55 pm

"She shouldn't have done this regardless. She has a shadow herself."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:11 pm

"She'd said she needed a more potent one."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:13 pm

"Get it back. Before I run into her and say something I may or may not regret."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:14 pm

"I'm not looking to cause a scene here, love."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:19 pm

"And you'd rather let her keep a piece of you? Are you kidding me?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:21 pm

"Not permanently, but if it can help us with Sean I'm prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:27 pm

"The scrying, okay. I don't have to like it but fine. Hanging on to it to seal some of his blood? No."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:28 pm

"Well how awkward is it to go there and say my girlfriend insists you give a piece of my shadow back? How do you even bring that up?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:30 pm

"You're the god-damn Morrigan. Go there and demand it back. If you won't I will."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:37 pm

"Not that I don't appreciate how protective you're being here love, I'm just not certain it's needed."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:55 pm

"It's the principle of the thing. If this was me you'd already be halfway across campus."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:55 pm

"...true," she reluctantly admitted.

"But it's harder to be rational about you."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 4:02 pm

"I guess then you'll understand when I go to have a word with Miss Valentine."
