Neela’s most obvious wounds had healed by now, reduced to a series of thin lines hidden by the bountiful fur decorating her body, but there was still a weariness set into her limbs and mind, slowing her movements and dulling her thoughts as she went about her business. Her ribs, which Neela was fairly sure were fractured judging by their slow recovery, were still giving her pain but Neela felt well enough to remove the bandaged, consigning the last visible reminders of her encounter with her son to the waste pile. However the nonphysical marks were not so easily shed; the twinge of her chest when she moved wrong, the memory of the rage in her son’s eyes as he looked at her, the dull ache that spread through her heart at the thought of Grynn’s death. These marks were still very much with Neela, niggling at her mind at every turn. There was little work left to do on the house that wouldn’t require a major project so Neela had taken to walking to try and occupy her thoughts, though she noticeably stayed within the borders, keeping to herself whenever possible. She had so far done a good job of this, aside from when Jace had come to visit and managed to find her few that dwelt within Casa were familiar enough with Neela’s scent to track her down reliably when she didn’t wish to be found. She had been intending a day of the same, trekking down along Casa’s stretch of coastline and looking for spots to fish, when she came across a woman sitting on a bench, reading a book. Neela didn’t particularly want company but it felt rude to just walk past without talking so she trotted to a halt, dipping her head in greeting, ”Hello there,” she said quietly. Neela moved to sit on the opposite end of the bench to the woman but she moved too quickly, jarring her ribs. One hand dropped instantly to Neela’s chest, ”Mierda!” she swore quietly as she finished sitting down, giving a final grimace before she cleared her face and turned to look at the woman. ”What’re ya reading?" Neela asked curiously, resisting from craning her head to see the books title, ”Not seen too many up here that can read.” though admittedly Neela hadn’t particularly been asking much and reading wasn’t something that came up a lot in day to day life for a Luperci. .risinghope b {font-weight:bold; color:#a38750; letter-spacing:.5px} .risinghope p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .risinghope {margin:0 auto; width:600px; background-color:#471e00; background-image:url(http://i43.tinypic.com/1vif8.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:3px double #885004; padding: 330px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#a27e36; letter-spacing:.5px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> 409+ [/html] - Clara Bates - 06-15-2012 [html]

The woman seemed friendly enough, if a bit quiet. Neelareturned her smile of greeting with one of her own, albeit one a bit pained from the ache left over in her ribs from the errant movement. The collie shifted herself several times, wiggling about to try and find a position on the bench that wouldn’t strain her ribs though she stilled and her ears perked a bit when the woman answered her question, though the name of the book was admittedly meaningless to her; what few books Neela had read had mostly been on practical subjects like music, woodwork or fishing, for her books were less a form of leisure and more a source of information. ”It any good?” she asked mildly, just because reading for fun wasn;t her cup of tea didn’t mean she couldn’t understand the appeal. Being as curious and travel hungry as she was Neela would have loved the idea of reading tales from far away places and long ago if she were a less active person, as it was unless she actually needed so read something she had trouble sitting down long enough to get through an entire human book. Luperci books tended to be shorter she had found, but also of a lesser quality compared to human authors. Especially the writing. Luperci handwriting was usually just below passable at best while humans used some sort of witchcraft to get all their letters exactly the same shape; a bit unnerving but easier on the eyes. .risinghope b {font-weight:bold; color:#a38750; letter-spacing:.5px} .risinghope p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .risinghope {margin:0 auto; width:600px; background-color:#471e00; background-image:url(http://i43.tinypic.com/1vif8.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:3px double #885004; padding: 330px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#a27e36; letter-spacing:.5px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> 250+ [/html] |
