This place is beautiful. I enjoyed the castle, but this has a certain charm to it that I have not experienced before. The tower is quite exotic.

Even the kitchen is new to me, with the strange ways to heat food. I've tried some of my mother's old recipes, if anyone is hungry! There is bread, soup and roast.

[Myra can, obviously, be found in the kitchen, surrounded by pots and pans. Somebody is nesting.]

Ah... one more thing. Are there any other healers present?

Is that so?

[oh man, that looks good. He wanders over closer, though he's giving her... unique appearance a bit of a glance]

That's very generous of you.

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't seem to notice his glance, adding a bit of extra bread on his plate before happily holding it out towards the man.]

I could hardly eat all of this alone, so I'm more than happy to share with the wonderful people of the tower.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[he's suspicious, and a little wary over what she might be... but not enough to refuse the food. He takes the plate and ogles it for a moment, before finding a place to sit nearby]

It seems like a lot of work and energy to spend on strangers.

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

My, do I seem to have ulterior motives?

[She chuckles.]

I think it is simply the need to make a 'home' before my children are born.

[Her half-dragon children...]

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

The presence of ulterior motives is more common than the alternative, in my opinion.

[though, instincts being the reason is believable. ...even if it only increases his concern and curiosity over what she could be]

I suppose that makes sense. And I certainly can't complain.

[taking a bite of food mmmmmmm]

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

I guess that is true. Hopefully to people of the castle are more honorable than that, though.

[She smiles again.]

Have as much as you want.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Oh, I would be careful about allowing me that. I have a very large appetite.

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

[She laughs as she fills his plate again.]

You must keep very busy then, to keep such a physique with a large appetite.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[he does have a nice physique, doesn't he? he looks quite flattered despite the fact that it was a casual comment]

I have a fast metabolism.

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

Oh, how lucky!

[Here, Tek. Moar food!]

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

It runs in the family.

[omg more food... he is going to eat all of it. Especially that roast. He's going to sleep for two days at this rate. Now all he needs is a nice rock in the sun to bask on]

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

Do you have a large family?

[....such a lizard, Tektek.]

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Enormous. [taking a moment to eat more. At least he's very neat about it.] It was a little crowded, honestly.

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

My, that must have been hard on your parents.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Oh, they weren't terribly attentive parents. I doubt it bothered them much.

[omnomnom]

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

Oh? That sounds a bit odd for parents, but I suppose it cannot be easy to have so many children.

[She puts a hand on her belly, where the twins are making a ruckus for some reason.]

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Mm, we learned to take care of ourselves, which has suited me very well in my life. I suppose I haven't thought about it much.

[which may or may not be true. He's mostly busy wondering what she could be, and trying to ignore the uncomfortable amount of life she has]

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

Well, it is nice to see that you have grown up well.

[She smiles again and turns to get some milk for Tek to drink as well.]

Oh, we never asked your name?

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[you spoil him]

Mm, you can call me Tek.

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

Tek? That's a sweet name. [She chuckles.] I'm Myra.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[ha! he can't help but laugh a little]

Sweet? I think that is the first time anything about me has been called 'sweet.'

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

It is short and sweet.

[It was surprising to hear him laugh.]

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[it doesn't happen often-- not something close to genuine, anyway. she'd put him in a good mood with the food, and then surprised him.]

Well. It is a nickname.

[goldflecked.livejournal.com]

[She takes a seat this time, with a sigh. It was hard to stay on her feet for too long.]

I like it.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Myra-- is that short for anything?
