Event Thirteen.

[awashmods]

To love a human face was to discover The cracks of paint and varnish on the brow; Soon to distrust all impulses of flesh That strews its sawdust on the chamber floor, While at the window peer two crones Who once were Juliet and Jessica.

t's a regular morning here in the Town. The sun isn't shining at all, snow is falling like crazy, and...there may be the sounds of shouts coming from the well, thoroughly muffled. Okay, so it's not a regular morning at all, but you'd better go help those people! The newcomers are here again. Of course, once you get to the well, you'll notice that there's actually no real help you can offer -- it's totally frozen over. As for the newcomers, well... hopefully being suddenly dumped into freezing cold water in the middle of November in a dark, damp well is your idea of a good time, because that's your life now! And that's not even taking into account the mirrors in everyone's homes that are about to wake up and start chattering... Welcome to Awash's thirteenth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. Please keep in mind that while this is a general event log, it is also an intro log; be sure to pay plenty of attention to our newcomers! If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

[ The snow continues to fall gently all around them, but the cold can't compare to the warmth he feels from her smile.

Back then, no matter what he did, everyone assumed his intentions were evil. Anything bad that happened, was automatically blamed on him. But this girl truly has seen some of his bad sides: his oblivious chattering, his cynicism, and his isolation. Instead of judging him, she is offering him friendship. ]

Maiden Pyra, you are making me blush.

[ He knows he can't hide it at this point, so might as well own it. ]

I'd be honored to get to know you better, as well.

[ ...Can she have this, she wonders. This. This person wanting to know her and trust her and be a friend. Is she ready to take that step?

Or would she end up hurting him in the end?

She was sealed for a reason, a very good reason, and she wants to honor the one who sealed her. But that same person would not have wanted her to push others away out of fear. That fear still remains, but regardless... ]

Will you be asking about my favorite color now? [ It's a light joke at the end of a heartfelt discussion, said for the sake of giving him an out of any embarrassment. Still, her acceptance of him wanting to know her better is apparent in her smile. ]
