Another vision
Who: Bianca Dunstan & Jasper Dorny
What: Has a vision just before bed
When: Around 11:45 PM, Tuesday November 11th
Where: In her flat
Rating: Worksafe

It was refreshing finally being able to be alone again. Bianca appreciated Justin's company, but deep down she couldn't get past the knowledge that he was there to provide her an alibi. And while it was very nice having someone around, him and Jasper both, it was impossible to have real alone time with someone constantly there. She hated the fact that it too another death to make her seem less suspect, but she was glad that Justin didn't have to stay around either.

She showered and changed into her pyjamas, then made sure that Delphi was fed and had fresh water before going for the Jasmine King novel she was rereading until the next one came out. But before she got there, she saw her vision begin to cloud, and knew she was about to See something. She got to the bed just before the sight took over.

People. The streets of Diagon were awash with people, all clad in a faded blue-grey. No, not all, but most. A few wore other clothes, but they all wore strange pins on their lapels. She couldn't make out the shape of the pins, nor the faces of anyone in the crowd. In fact, the entire vision wasn't very clear at all. It ended abruptly, leaving Bianca clinging to her bed, shaking visibly.

There had been something wrong with all those people, but she had no idea what. Worse, there was a nasty pit of fear in her stomach, and suddenly she wished she wasn't alone at all anymore. She sat there on her bed for interminable minutes, debating reaching out to either Jasper or Justin. Finally, she reached for her phone and scrolled down to the J's. Jasper's name came up first and she called him. She'd told him about one of her visions before and she wasn't sure she should wait on telling someone about this one. Nervous as the thought might have made her, she was going to ask him back over. The one thing she was sure of was that sleep was not going to come easy tonight.

Bianca picked up the book and held it to her chest. She shook her head hurriedly. "No no, you weren't snooping. I mean...it was there in plain sight. I should't-" She dared a glance up and his and managed to flush deeper. She looked down at Delphi who was chittering in amused excitement. "It's all right. It's just...a but embarrassing," she admitted setting the book back up on her shelf.

She was saved by the sound of the water coming to a boil and she cleared her throat before hurrying out. She came back shortly with tea, his with cream and no sugar, and hers with both. She set down the tray carrying everything on a little ottoman next to the jammy dodgers. "So," she said, trying for some bravado, "Now you know my little secret. I read romance novels. It's...probably not as big a deal as I'm making it, right?" She sounded only half-convinced.

Jasper struggled to find words, helpless as he watched Bianca hurry out in a rush of nervous energy. The tea was a welcome distraction when she returned. It at least gave him something to do with his hands and allowed him to sit again so it didn't seem like he was looming.

"Oh no, it's not bad or anything," Jasper rushed to reassure Bianca after a blowing a little on his tea to cool it. "There's nothing wrong with reading what you enjoy. And I..." He hesitated, staring down into his tea. "I'm familiar with Ms. King's work," he admitted, feeling a little bad for not being entirely honest. But really what would she think of him then, if she found out?

Bianca went for a biscuit while she waited for the tea to cool down. It gave her something to focus on besides Jasper. But when he spoke she looked up at him in surprise "You are?" She hadn't expected that. Then she thought about it and gave him a curious look. "Was it Justin? I mean, it does seem the sort of thing he'd have an interest in, doesn't it? I haven't told him or you know he'd probably read bits aloud or something terribly embarrassing."

Bianca was still flushed but was actually a bit glad she had someone to talk to about her interests, even if it was Jasper and she'd never once thought she'd be talking to him about romance novels. Ever. "They're just...well they're awfully well written. But you know that, if you're familiar. They characters are believable and the stories themselves are always so very good." Not to mention the parts best left undiscussed in polite company.
