Who: Ganieda and Belle
What: Meeting
Where: Ganieda's room for now
When: shortly after their thread together last night.
Warnings: I do not expect any. One never knows.

Ganieda got up from the computer and went to find her things for going out. Just in case they went out, of course. Belle seemed like a sweet woman, and she hoped that they'd get along well. Ganieda tried to be good at making people feel at ease; unfortunately, since coming here, her role needed to be changed around, so that she was the one being made to fee at ease.

	"Most quiet. I lived on a quiet island, with nine women who taught me and not many others. There were many apple trees there." She squints in the sunlight. "And it was much cooler." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Apples're nice. I'm from a swamp." She shrugged. "It's hotter and stickier. I'm kinda glad I left." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That does sound rather uncomfortable. But you like it here better? I rather like it better at night. It's cooler and there are lights." Not as pretty as stars, perhaps, but they have a sort of man-made beauty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It was beautiful. I lived with my brother 'n' father. Well, until my brother died. Long story, not particularly worth tellin'." She put her hands in her pockets, for lack of anything better to do. The area around Ganieda's home was fascinating, in a weird way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not a particularly wealthy neighborhood, not at all, and stores with signs in Spanish and English dominate. There are street vendors and sometimes buskers, though that is normally on the weekend. "I'm sorry your brother died." She can't imagine being wholly without her brother. She is very glad Merlin found her quickly. "What did you do, back in your home?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-07-17 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not." She'd kill him again if she had to. Even if she didn't have to, really. "I, uh, was going to take over my father's business. Been in de family f'r generations, along with everything else. Was an interesting environment to grow up in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ganieda blinked, but said nothing. She knew full well that some families did not get along. "I do not know who my father is...or was," Ganieda murmured, as if to herself. The ladies never mentioned him at all. "What was it like, growing up there?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm sorry. My father was one of the greatest men I've ever known. Though I suppose if he didn't stick around, yours might not fall into that category."

She thought for a moment. "Hard. My life was planned out f'r me, down to what my children's names would be, and who the father of them would be, from the moment I was christened. Even though the intended groom changed down the line, the plan was always simple. I would marry t' further our power, and Julien would take over de guild. I'm almost glad things worked out how they did, but even more glad to be away from it all here."

	Ganieda smiled slightly. "That sounds rather like mine. Though not much was expected of me except to marry well." She squinted in the bright sunlight. "I miss that life sometimes, but I think that if I try, I may make a way here. Merlin seems to think I will do well." Ganieda is still very skeptical. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I hated it so much. My momma died in childbirth, and while I'm real glad to be alive, I'm not so much interested in producin' children for a guild that would push a person beyond their limits for another heir." She shut her mouth, through sheer force of will. "Oh, look, an ice cream truck." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-07-18 12:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Mine did too," she said softly, and listened. There was much more than met the eye with her. Much more. Ganieda smiled. "Well, that is one of the things about this world that I do like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-07-18 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Bon!" Her expression was sunny, all seriousness absent from her demeanor. It was as though she was an entirely different person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-07-18 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	Ganieda noticed this, but said nothing. She knows what it is to keep pain inside. "Do you have a favorite? I have only tried chocolate." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-07-19 01:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Strawberry and chocolate together. Best of both worlds." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, that does sound nice," she said. "How many flavors are there?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-07-19 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I dunno. A lot. Every country's got it's own flavors, even parts of each country will have their specialties. Or somet'in' else entirely. Italy does this thing with flavored ice that's just incredibly awesome. I'll have t' take you once you've settled in." She waved down the truck, and eyed the selection. Hmmmm, these are hte most difficult choices. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-07-19 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled. "I think I shall close my eyes and point a finger. I have not tried any of these before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good idea." Belle said with a nod. Oooh, they have green tea. She ordered that, curious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-07-19 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	Ganieda's finger landed on maple walnut. And so that was what she ordered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-07-19 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	Mmmmmm, maple walnut. Belle approved. "Oooh, good choice! She paid for the ice cream, more out of habit than anything. "Merci!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-07-19 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you." This is definitely one of the nicer discoveries of this modern world. "Oh my. That is very good indeed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-07-19 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	There was much nodding from Belle. "Yes. Very much so." Ice cream is wonderful. "Dunno how the world survived before there was ice cream." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-07-19 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Well...it is hard to miss what you do not know exists. But I would miss it now," she says with a giggle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-07-20 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"You're Merlin's sister though, right? If you wound up goin' back, you could probably make ice cream." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-07-20 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	Ganieda laughs. "Oh...I did not think of that. You are most probably right. Merlin is going to teach me more things since I am here and rather unskilled in my magic." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
