View source for Janus and Hayley discuss his latest research, 7/4/2005

* Hayley is stretched comfortably on the bed, watching you get ready to sleep after all the dancing.
<Hayley> So... what were you so excited about earlier this evening anyway?  ^-^
* Janus finishes brushing his hair, and climbs into the bed.
<Janus> Hm? 
<Janus> Oh yes!
<Hayley> You said you'd tell me later, and now it's later.  :)
* Janus 's expression becomes more animated.
<Janus> So it is!
<Janus> Well, you recall that sluagh girl, Tamara...
* Hayley rolls onto her side and regards him, eyes shining with interest and, of course, love.
* Hayley nods.
<Hayley> How is she?
<Janus> I've been working with her for quite a while now; she's a very interesting case!
<Hayley> Should I be jealous?
* Hayley teases.
<Janus> Oh no, no.
* Janus laughs.
<Janus> No one is as interesting as you. ^_^
<Hayley> We can test that hypothesis later, perhaps...  ^-^
* Janus grins.
<Hayley> What *is* her case, though?
<Janus> Oh, well.
<Janus> It's rather complicated...
* Janus tries to think of how best to summarize.
<Janus> She has been ... altered by being fused with the spirit of a departed Fae who was not yet returned to a mortal body.
<Hayley> Oh?
* Hayley 's eyes widen. That does sound interesting.
<Hayley> Altered how?
<Janus> Hers is very much a unique situation. I've not found anything in any of my books that speaks of another case.
<Janus> She is not... exactly Sluagh, for one thing.
<Hayley> No?
* Hayley smiles mysteriously.
<Janus> No...
<Janus> I am trying to think of how to explain it...
* Hayley waits patiently.
<Janus> When the other was sealed into her body, she absorbed his glamour, his... essence. Her fae mien has altered to reflect that.
<Hayley> What was he?
<Janus> A sidhe. Very old and powerful.
<Janus> This energy seems to have pushed her back from the end of the cycle of reincarnation...
<Janus> She no longer speaks with the dead.
* Hayley reaches out to twine a lock of your hair around her finger.
<Hayley> Has she picked up any sidhe tendencies to make up for it?
<Janus> Well... she has teeth.
<Janus> And she does not smell so foul.
* Hayley giggles.
<Hayley> I noticed that she smells pretty good... but I hadn't noticed the teeth.
<Janus> I did not really know her before her transformation, so it is hard to pick out the details.
* Hayley nods.
<Janus> But there is more... As far as my magic can discern, her current lifespan has been greatly extended!
<Hayley> Oh?
* Janus crosses his legs, Indian-style, and gestures with his hands as he speaks, obviously quite excited.
<Janus> Yes!
* Hayley looks a bit concerned now, but continues to listen with interest.
<Janus> I had been looking for an application for this knowledge to our situation... 
* Hayley worries about Sidhe being sacrificed to extend her life...
<Janus> It did not look as though that was going to be viable, but...
<Janus> Then I realized I had been restricting myself too much.
<Janus> I have a new idea...
<Hayley> So what are you considering now?
* Janus has a very intent look on his face.
* Hayley untwines the hair from her fingers and reaches for one of your hands.
<Janus> I don't need to find a spirit to merge with you...
<Janus> Something else...
<Janus> Something that will keep you just as you are, as though you were in a freehold, wherever you are.
<Janus> The blood is the key...
<Janus> It is a powerful bond.
<Janus> The blood of the dragon. 
* Janus interlaces his fingers with yours but is half off in another world.
* Hayley isn't sure how she feels about that.
<Hayley> Won't I take on certain draconic traits then?
<Janus> Oh no no.
<Janus> Sleet certainly hasn't.
<Janus> Ah, Tamara, that is.
<Hayley> ...
<Janus> The blood is what I used to seal the other into her, though.
<Janus> Tamara is also called Sleet.
* Janus explains, upon seeing your confusion.
<Hayley> I gathered.
<Janus> Oh, well.
<Janus> Do you see?
<Janus> I am so close.
<Janus> So close!
<Hayley> I was just trying to reconcile what you said about her taking on certain sidhe traits with my not taking on draconic traits, but I think I understand now that you used dragon's blood to seal the sidhe spirit into her...?
* Hayley asks for clarification.
<Janus> Yes, yes!
<Janus> Exactly!
* Janus affirms excitedly.
<Hayley> All right...
<Hayley> And you have reason to believe that it was the dragon's blood, not the sidhe spirit, that extended her life.
<Janus> No...
<Janus> But I could find something else.
<Janus> That particular avenue... is not an option.
<Hayley> No...
* Hayley seems relieved that you don't think you'll be able to find another spirit to bind to her.
<Hayley> Well, it sounds very interesting, indeed...
* Janus nods.
<Janus> Soon, I will find a way!
<Janus> And then we will be together, forever!
* Janus wraps his arms around you, beaming.
<Janus> ^_^
<Janus> ... Aren't you pleased?
* Hayley kisses you on the lips.
<Janus> I will take that as a 'yes...'
<Hayley> Of course I want to be with you. 
<Janus> :)
<Hayley> . o O (But the way it's going to happen scares me...  -_-  I'd rather you didn't cross the Tuatha.)
<Janus> Nothing can stop us!
<Hayley> Hmmm... Be careful about hubris, though, love.
* Hayley kisses you again.
<Janus> Do not worry about anything...
* Janus nuzzles into your hair.
<Janus> It will be fine.
* Hayley smiles and cuddles up to you more closely.
<Hayley> We had a hypothesis to test, if you aren't too tired...
<Janus> Oh, did we? ^_^
<Janus> Well, if it is for science.
<Janus> ^_^
* Janus leans in and kisses you.
* Hayley kisses him back and reaches down to do something very interesting to him indeed.
