Who: Alexandr & Thorne What: First meeting When: Saturday Evening Where: The Little Church of the West Rating: G, I’m sure Status: Incomplete
Many times, passing Mandalay Bay, Thorne Whittier, Commander of the Peace Keeper Force, would pause and study the exterior of The Little Church of the West; it’s cedar exterior was styled to resemble an old American western mining town church, but it somehow reminded him of the stave churches he’d seen in Norway. In his world of Peace Keeping and Sanguine intrigue, little moments gave him clarity and peace of mind: his morning Earl Grey, time with his childe and his evening patrol, when he could stop and muse on this little church.
The church was pleasing, and interesting to say the least, but it wasn’t really the church itself that drew Thorne’s interest…it was the church’s lone inhabitant; word had come to him that a Cabalan dwelled there. Thorne had met one Cabalan…Abbott, and had immediately empathized with her and her problems. The female was an outcast and Thorne had always felt like an outcast. He had demanded that his officers treat Abbott with respect and they very begrudgingly obliged.
Cabalans, Thorne understood, mostly lived underground, so he was terribly curious about this one who chose a church to dwell in. This evening, he was going to satisfy his curiosity and go meet this mysterious Cabalan…
Walking directly to the front door, with purpose, Thorne knocked firmly and called out, “’ello in there! This is Commander Thorne Whittier of the Peace Keeper Force. You’re in no trouble. I’d just like to speak with you, if you don’t mind!”
