The large boy seemed quite taken aback by Miss Eva’s blunt attitude. His short, “oh,” and the way he quieted thereafter might have made Maude laugh, on a better day, but presently, she was far too distracted with her own feelings, and the reality of her and her tutor’s newfound situation, to find humor in a boy being thrown off by a sassy, copper colored healer. A small rodent then appears from the boy’s shoulders, though how Maude had missed him before now was somewhat baffling to her. Had it hidden between the youth’s wings? Or did this place have magical animals that appeared and disappeared at will? She certainly hoped not. Maude had a hard enough time wildlife watching with the creatures being firmly fastened into reality, let alone if they could chose when to exist in it or not. He makes her think of her friends, and their companions, and his wave of hello doesn’t inspire the sort of mirth it might have, weeks prior. Instead, she feels somewhat sad, and wonders (quite a dark ponder for one like Maude) if she’ll ever see them again, or if it is even worth getting to know this tall stranger and his small friend. They might just be taken away from her again, after all, thinks the young lady quite glumly to herself. Blubbering and sobbing, the cream haired maiden isn’t that surprised that the conversation diverts to deal with her emotional outburst; feeling pretty awful that the strange boy was so sure he’d done it, however, when he very well hadn’t, the girl tries to dry it up. Things seem to be going okay as she sucks and blinks, at least until Eva says, “Helovia.” Then it all starts again. Piteously warbling with tears and emotion as Evangeline asks useful questions in the face of Maude’s utter uselessness, all the filly manages to blubber out is a meager, simple statement. “Y-y-you didn’t do-o-oooo it,” weeps the youth, stepping nearer to Eva for support, and stomping a hoof as she says the most horrible God in any universe ever’s name, “Kaos did!” & you just can’t fall asleep, I’ll sing a song beside you. and if you ever forget how much you really mean to me, every day, I will remind you. |
