singindemonhqI'd thought one thing through while I was away. As soon as I got back I asked Erynne to wear an engagement ring. (I want people to know. I trust her - it's the males of the multiverse that I don't trust.) She agreed right away and I hardly got time to say hello before we were out shopping for it.
The one she liked isn't too bad for this dimension, and I guess it'll be noticed. (The salesman seemed to favour one in silver! I let my lycanthropic Little Bard try to find excuses before I asked for white gold to match my talisman. (I still wonder if platignum would last better. Didn't mention it, though. We can upgrade when it wears out.)
(Erynne wanted saphires, and those clash with the Talisman anyway. I gave that a bit of thought, and then glamored the talisman to match the ring, instead of the other way. Too many people can unexpectedly know too much about demonology and that might confuse them. The trouble is, that way she looks like a duchess out slumming.
I got her a CD, too. It was someone else's music, I hadn't written a word of it, but it it summed things up.)
When I first got back I told her I'd got plans to party real soon. We ended up going dancing practically everywhere that was open (which wasn't exactly what I'd meant, but this was a big day.) It seemed to be a night for celebrations. When fireworks started going off all over the place it just seemed appropriate, somehow.
They seem to have had fireworks for several days, since then - and we've been out entertaining ourselves ever since that started.It's been more fun than the old Sunnydale, that's for sure.

Date: 2003-07-07 04:08 pm (UTC)Well, that settles it, there are twins.He said he's had no heart-beat for almost a year. *Slows, keeping arm around you*, You know the spare portal-disk? I'm going to take that around to Percy in the morning - and get a lot more recordable CDRs. There may be friends of ours who'll need to get out of here...

Date: 2003-07-07 04:33 pm (UTC)in this world, I really don't want to find out
what "Erynne 2.0" might be like!
Yes--Grant already has his,but extras for our
friends here too. I just hope they don'thave
to use them!
But also--Sweet? *looks at her ring*
There's something I wanted to ask you about...
no subject
Date: 2003-07-07 04:58 pm (UTC)*Looks down at you and smiles* Why are you looking at the ring like that? If you're tired of wearing it already I could glamor it to match my talisman instead of the other way around, if you like... *Chuckles* O.k., what is it you want to ask me?
no subject
Date: 2003-07-07 05:05 pm (UTC)is...*smiles* I've never had anyone give me
something that beautiful...No,it's fine the way
it is.
But you should have something too. You've given
me so much,already, Sweet...but, I don't think
a ring would last through those "quick changes"
of yours, would it?
There might be another way though...not all of
us in Corona marry humans. Hey, some of the new
'in-laws' don't even have arms, good luck
picking out a wedding band for one of them!
So, we had to come up with other answers...
would you be willing to let me try a spell on
you for a change?

Date: 2003-07-07 05:19 pm (UTC)What do you want to do to me?
*Runs rest of the conversation through, mentally* In-laws who don't have arms? What are they, snake people? You must get very varied talents...
no subject
Date: 2003-07-07 06:11 pm (UTC)No, no snakes,but remind me to introduce you
to some of my coworkers at the restaurant next
time we're there...
*hesitates, then* --It's not anything harmful,
for the most part,but--well, what you'd
have to do is just hold still, and trust me...
*rakes her nails down her forearm, just hard
enough to break the skin*
*touches one finger to seeping cut*
*reaches out with other hand, turning your
arm over*
*dabs your elbow lightly,leaving a tiny red dot*
*leans over, breathes out softly*
glowing brand appears, then fades until
nearly invisible*

Date: 2003-07-07 06:43 pm (UTC)So,that is your talisman? Property of Erynne? What does it do - bite me if I look at another woman?
*chuckles, and leans forward to whisper* and why would I want to, Little bard?...

of our family who aren't 'changers...
*grins*Well then, you don't have to worry
about being bitten, do you? Unless you ask
very nicely, of course, then I might
consider it...

Clans can offer one of two bonds--one is for
close friends or allies...that'd
be the Outlier bond. Oath, but no physical signs.
Ties based on respect,mutual help or protection,
or unpaid debt of some kind a 'changer owes to
an outsider.
The Kin sigil is used to identify those who are
family members by adoption or marriage.

no subject
Date: 2003-07-07 07:38 pm (UTC)*smiles*
No, whatever the bond they accepted with you,
it's not counter to ours. If you had
loved a member of Icewind--or had promised
to marry anyone else, 'changer or not--the
brand simply wouldn't have taken hold.
Don't worry about it drawing attention. I know
it's clear to you, and would be to other Clan
members--possibly Icewind as well as Corona--
but no one else will see it unless they have
a powerful talent for magic. The kind
that comes along maybe once in a hundred
years.

No one truth-sings future
Cos each day it starts anew,
If we cross a hundred worlds
I couldn’t tire of you,
Feels as if I’d dreamed of you
And somehow you’d come true
That’s the truth I know
I want you close.

Date: 2003-07-07 08:16 pm (UTC)*tilts face up, smiling,looks you in the
eyes*
Don't need a woven future
Each day's a gift so new
Threads of light and shadow
But my trail that was so clear
Would be winter-chill and empty
without you...
