Completed [The Quill's Rest] The License to Revere

[Philomena]

//A wink... what a strange, strange boy.//

Strange, after all means so many things - it brooks distrust and fear, at times, or pity, or fascination, or admiration. Or a strange mixture of them all. From Minnie's face, it would be difficult to say which she lived. From her mind it would be just as difficult - her mind was simply unsettled. A little thread had been nicked out from weave of her mind, and it snagged, as it were, when she walked.

"Good bye, then, sir." she murmured, with a mixture between a sigh and a frown.

She took up her tea and sipped off the rest. She did not leave right away - hers was the sort of nature that dreads the awkward, and there is a delicate awkwardness in remeeting in the street someone that one has just fare-thee-welled in the salon. She sipped her tea, and pulled out her wax tablet, opening it, and began to write notes.

I enjoyed the fight that Philomena put up to the hypnotism, even without knowing she was being hypnotized. I felt it was a pretty accurate portrayal of the skill, and its drawbacks. Gave you guys mostly lores relating to each other, since this seemed to be a "get to know you" thread as a setup for future writing, and tried to throw in a few skills that would be useful to both of you "The difference between a jester and a fool is that the jester knows he's a jester" DISCLAIMER: If you think I have been foolish in grading your thread, don't hesitate to PM me. I am happy to take another look at anything you feel is in error, but keep in mind the other Storytellers and I have final say.
