[Julius' Cottage]Gimme Shelter(Julius + Anyone)

[Dramiana Rosenthal]

“To stay here. Here. No. No--yes. Yes,” nodding quite rapidly, smiling so brightly, “I think so. Would you like my bed as you stay here? I’ll sleep on the floor for something like that. Well, maybe right not there. I was unaware my floor could do that. Hmm.” “Really?!” blurted Damiana, berry-juice going everywhere. She was quick to clean them up with her sleeve, though, (let it be mentioned here and now that the poor girl was in terrible need of a new wardrobe), and her violet eyes sparkled at Julius with hope. “Thank you!” So it was, that the hat man was cuddled. “Memo-cites, you say? And they are mine? On loan of course. And I can—put memories into them? Freely? Is there a game to them,” asking more to do with the rules of these strange, exciting, and utterly alien rocks. He sniffed it suspect, trying just to see if there was anything distinct to them that eyes alone might not yield. “No game, but there are rules. You must ensure that they are returned to Swalden’s great ring err long lest they should cease to harmonize with each other.” And from then on out, it was all dialogue and demonstration. I can say that Dramiana’s smile got wider and wider as the night went on, and there was talk of magic and mystery and a supper of berries and water (which is more pleasant than one is lead to imagine). The Symanestra was eager to play with the chicken that Julius showed her, but even more eager to become friends. So, to answer the odd illusionist’s offer, there was an astute and resounding, “Yes.”
