New page

* Irene is quiet and very poilte, and often covers her mouthe when she laughs or smiles. Very Jet Girl ;)
* Hayley has led Irene off so they can talk! It's been hard to talk because of official Baron-welcoming-Baroness to his freehold sort of stuff which Janus had to do.
* Hayley has been beaming since Irene's arrival, practically. She is so excited and happy to have her friend visit.
<Hayley> Let's go!
* Irene seems happy to be here, but there is still that general morose 'woe is me' flavour
<Irene> alright...
<Irene> what are we going to do?
* Hayley tugs on Irene's arm, then drops it, covering a grin with a hand.
<Hayley> Am I allowed to touch Her Ladyship's person?
* Irene lets herself get pulled along
* Hayley teases.
* Irene blushes in an embarrassed way
<Irene> yess...
<Hayley> Good!
* Hayley picks up Irene's arm again.
<Hayley> Where would you *like* to go?
<Irene> I don't know... you live here. :o
<Hayley> You haven't had had the Official Tour yet.
* Hayley rolls her eyes.
* Irene is still wearing the really high collared dresses and whatnot
<Hayley> We could do that. Or we could just go talk somewhere- oh, I have so much to tell you!
* Hayley grins wickedly.
<Irene> well, okay...
<Irene> You can show me the important places?
<Irene> And we can talk there?
<Hayley> All right!
<Irene> I don't know...
<Hayley> This way!
<Longpig> (<Rook> *preens*)
* Hayley pulls Irene gently down the hall.
<Hayley> There's the parlour, if you want to just sit and read quietly or something. We have a few old board games too, if we get bored.
<Hayley> This is the music room, Aidan's favourite place.
<Hayley> He's been teaching me to play piano but I'll never be as good as him.
<Hayley> I have mastered chopsticks, though.
* Hayley puffs herself up with mock pride and laughs.
<Hayley> You've seen the dining room; the kitchen is at the other end - see? It's a Very Important place but I don't expect you really need to see it.
<Hayley> This is the other other parlour, he calls it the sitting room to differentiate, but really I think they might as well be the same... it's kind of dusty, though. Doesn't get used much.
* Hayley sneezes.
<Hayley> I guess a long time ago when there would have been fantastic parties, after supper the men would go to one of these rooms and the women to the other.
<Hayley> Then they'd get together again and dance here -
* Irene is listening meekly, as is her way ;)
* Hayley shows Irene another room which has a lot of open space on the floor and furniture placed tastefully about the edges.
<Hayley> (a door at one end of this room opens into the music room, I guess. :^) )
<Hayley> This is the "powder room" - such a delicate name.
* Hayley grins but doesn't actually open the door to the toilet/sink combo room.
<Hayley> Upstairs!
<Irene> okay...
* Hayley leads Irene back towards the front entrance, across from which are the stairs.
<Hayley> (everything is lit by candles in sconces and candelabras, by the way. ^-^)
<Hayley> (No more electricity)
* Irene is used to that, never having grown up with electricity
<Hayley> This is sort of my room
* Hayley shows Irene the room that *was* hers before she took to sleeping in the master bedroom.
<Hayley> Tally's is that one.
* Hayley points across the hall.
<Hayley> Aidan's is right next to his, and Rachel's next to mine.
<Hayley> That door is the door to Janus' study. *Always* knock.
<Hayley> This one...
* Hayley leads Irene into a dusty room hung with bunches of herbs.
* Irene nods at that
<Irene> smells nice...
<Hayley> This is sort of mine, too, I guess...
<Irene> It reminds me of my aunt Mary
<Hayley> Really?
* Janus is hiding out from the girls :o
<Hayley> This was mine... a long time ago...
<Hayley> I feel strange in it now.
<Hayley> Your aunt is an herbalist?
* Hayley turns to smile at Irene.
<Irene> a bit...
* Janus has vague but unpleasant recollections of having his hair curled (and so on) on past 'sleepover' occasions...
<Irene> A lot of people are
<Irene> (LOL)
<Hayley> (*snick*)
<Hayley> I suppose they have to be now...
* Hayley blushes, embarrassed that she hadn't thought of that.
<Hayley> Tara's been handling most of that sort of thing when we need it now.
* Irene nods
<Hayley> Come on...
* Hayley tugs gently on Irene's wrist.
<Hayley> That's the "WC"
* Hayley smiles.
<Hayley> British people have such funny words for things.
<Hayley> This is our room-
<Irene> hmm?
<Hayley> (is Janus in his study?)
<Janus> (yes)
* Irene smiles at Hayley's WC comment
* Irene usually makes an effort not to cover her face when she is around Hayley or Faren, because they always chastize her for it ;)
<Janus> (It's usually closed though... Janus is very private and doesn't like the idea of people snooping around his stuff)
<Janus> (Even if he knows that, really, they aren't)
* Hayley shows Irene the master bedroom. It's very elegant, with a carved four-poster queen size bed, and stuff. :^D)
<Hayley> (He doesn't even know Irene is Rhea at this point.)
<Hayley> (He forgot that; it was Samhain, remember?)
<Irene> (yeah)
<Janus> (... yes, and?)
<Hayley> And you've been to the third floor, right?
<Hayley> (That's where Irene and her people's rooms are)
* Irene nods
<Hayley> There's really only the attic left, then.
<Hayley> If you want to see it.
<Irene> Are you...staying with Janus now, then?
* Irene asks quietly
* Hayley nods and smiles, blushing.
* Hayley bites her lip and meets Irene's eyes.
<Hayley> <q> I said there was a lot to tell you...
* Hayley blushes darker red.
<Hayley> Um, tomorrow I will show you the gardens.
* Irene nods
<Irene> okay...
<Hayley> So... what would you like to do now?
<Hayley> Did we fix your rooms up all right?
<Irene> ...you said you wanted to talk...
<Irene> Oh!
* Hayley asks anxiously; she helped Tara get them ready for you and your servants.
<Irene> They are fine, of course :o
<Hayley> Good.
* Hayley smiles.
<Hayley> So... back down the hall?
* Hayley decides that if they're going to talk in privacy it will have to be her old bedroom.
<Irene> okay
<Hayley> Okay!
* Hayley skips off down that way, leading Irene behind her.
* Hayley pulls Irene into her old room, closes the door, and flops on her old bed. It is double; there's room for two, or an armchair by the window, or a hard chair by a little desk.
* Irene will flop with Hayley
* Hayley smiles happily.
<Hayley> It's so good to see you!
<Hayley> I'm glad you weren't angry with me.
<Irene> Why would I be mad? :o
<Hayley> Well... because I didn't go see you or even write after Dovev came that day.
<Hayley> Do you like being a baroness?
<Irene> oh...
<Irene> No, I didn't think that was *your* fault. :(
<Hayley> It wasn't yours, that's for sure!
* Irene nods
<Irene> But you were living in Ireland then, I thought...
<Irene> I didn't know where to find you anymore :/
<Hayley> I was...
<Hayley> I can show you some time.
<Hayley> You might not like it though; Janus didn't.
<Irene> like what?
<Hayley> Where I lived in Ireland.
<Hayley> It was a little stone cottage with a thatch roof...
<Hayley> It was right by the sea.
<Hayley> It was beautiful.
<Hayley> I worked for a sheep farmer...
<Irene> It sounds like... my old home :/
<Irene> Only, we weren't that close to the sea
<Hayley> And I fished and gathered snails and things to eat...
* Hayley smiles.
<Hayley> You could go visit your home now, couldn't you?
<Hayley> You're a baroness. They have to do what you want.
<Irene> I don't know what I'd say
<Hayley> Only, it might be hard to see your family, I suppose.
* Irene rolls over on her stomach and grabs a pillow
<Irene> I really want to...
<Irene> But everyone tells me it would be a bad idea :(
<Hayley> ...
<Hayley> I can't go see my family... if they're even alive still.
<Hayley> It *would* be a bad idea for me to do it.
<Hayley> But your family aren't prisoners of the Church.
<Hayley> It would just be awkward, I suppose...
<Hayley> They probably would be surprised to see you.
<Hayley> How long ago was it that you got taken away?
<Hayley> . o O (They would probably think she is dead. :^( )
<Irene> A few years...
* Hayley nods sadly.
<Hayley> They probably don't even know what happened to you... right?
<Irene> I doubt it.
<Irene> They probably think I'm dead...
* Hayley nods sadly again.
<Hayley> My family probably thinks the same about me.
<Irene> Maybe it is better that way :(
<Hayley> But Janus and Tally and Aidan have been so nice... I am lucky that way. I have another family.
* Irene nods
<Irene> You are lucky...
<Irene> I don't know about me, though
* Hayley smiles sadly for Irene, and reaches out to affectionately brush a lock of Irene's hair out of her face.
* Irene lets her
<Hayley> Have you met your fiance yet?
* Irene looks around carefully, and her eyes shine with 'secret'
* Irene nods
* Hayley 's eyes also brighten up.
<Hayley> <w> Was he nice to you?
* Irene nods
* Hayley smiles.
<Hayley> Good.
<Irene> <w> I just didn't know he'd be so... old :o
<Hayley> <w> Old?
<Irene> <w> You never said he was old!
* Hayley looks puzzled.
<Irene> :o
<Hayley> He wasn't! :o
* Hayley covers her mouth with her hand; that was too loud.
<Hayley> <w> Sorry. But... he wasn't...
<Hayley> <w> Is he... is he still good-looking like I said?
* Hayley asks, worried that Irene will think she's a liar! :^D
<Irene> <w> Yes, he is still very handsome
* Irene smiles
<Irene> <w> I like his eyes. You said they would be scary.
<Hayley> <w> Only sometimes.
* Irene nods
<Irene> ...
<Irene> <w> He wants to meet Janus...
<Hayley> <w> He does...? Why?
* Hayley 's eyes widen.
* Irene hesitates
<Irene> <w> I think it is about you...
* Hayley looks anxious at the thought of the two meeting.
<Irene> <w> I don't really know, though
* Irene loooks around
<Hayley> <w> I don't know... I don't know if that's really a good idea.
<Irene> <w> Oh...
<Irene> ...
* Hayley sounds worried.
<Janus> (well, too bad!)
<Irene> <q> How are things with Janus, then?
* Irene smiles shyly
<Hayley> Oh-
<Irene> they must be going pretty well, right?
* Hayley blushes.
<Hayley> <q> Most of the time.
<Hayley> <q> It's hard on us, you know... the curse and everything. It takes its toll.
* Irene nods
<Irene> But you are both happy, more or less?
<Hayley> <q> Pretty much. It's been a bit better since I... since we sleep together. It is hard for me to think of Faren when Janus is near. But I still do sometimes, and I feel so guilty...
* Hayley bites her lip and her eyes shimmer with tears, which she manages to hold back.
* Hayley rubs her eyes.
<Hayley> <q> Janus is so good, though. He tries so hard.
* Irene hugs her friend
* Hayley hugs Irene back.
<Irene> Nothing's ever fair, but I guess we just do the best we can... :(
<Hayley> <q> I don't even know Faren, really... I only met him once. But I think of him, all alone. I wish I could go to him and- comfort him. But that probably wouldn't be good, and I don't know where he lives, and Rook would be with me anyway, so Janus would find out...
<Hayley> <q> And that would be terrible.
* Irene nods
<Irene> I'm.... sure he isn't *all* alone...
<Irene> He must have friends, who can help him, right?
* Hayley actually sounds rather afraid.
* Hayley nods.
<Hayley> Probably.
<Irene> No, I'm sure....
* Hayley bites her lip and laughs nervously.
* Irene hugs Hayley again
* Irene feels guilty
<Hayley> He must... It's stupid for me to think I'd be the only person who could help him.
* Hayley laughs nervously/sadly.
<Hayley> I'd just make things worse, really.
<Hayley> Janus - he did something amazing... he got rid of part of the curse.
<Hayley> I don't think I really believed it could ever end, but now, I think I do.
<Hayley> I hope so, anyway.
<Irene> Really?
<Irene> That's wonderful :)
* Hayley nods.
* Hayley smiles.
<Irene> What... what did he do? :o
* Irene asks out of morbid curiosity.
<Hayley> Yes... he is a terrific person... a ritual.
<Hayley> I- I was frightened. But it worked...
* Irene nods
<Irene> He must be a very powerful sorceror...
* Hayley nods.
<Hayley> <q> It's terrible when he's angry... because I know he could do so many awful things to me. I don't think he will... but it's kind of frightening all the same.
<Irene> :o
<Irene> Really?
* Irene is keeping her voice down too
<Hayley> <q> He got rid of a geas a Tuatha laid upon me.
* Hayley says. Isn't that evidence enough of his power?
* Irene nods solemnly
<Irene> ...
<Irene> <q> So.... what is it like?
* Irene goes bright red as soon as she asks that
* Hayley glances up at Irene and smiles.
<Irene> ...
<Hayley> Like nothing else in the world...
<Irene> <q> I only know what Tabitha tells me, and she always, um, exaggerates.
<Hayley> Well... maybe you'll think I'm exaggerating too, then...
* Hayley blushes.
<Irene> No... I trust you...
<Irene> (hee hee hee)
<Hayley> But it's so amazing... having this man, this man whom I love so much, and having him all to myself...
<Hayley> Everything else falls away, and it's just me, and just him...
* Irene listens in rapt attention
<Irene> ...Does it hurt at all?
<Hayley> He's so intense - I lose myself in him... He knows all these places to touch, to kiss, to stroke...
* Hayley turns to look at Irene seriously.
<Hayley> It does hurt, a little.
<Hayley> It hurt a lot, the first time.
<Hayley> He's... kind of big.
* Hayley blushes.
<Hayley> And I'm not.
<Irene> :o
<Hayley> But I don't notice it so much. There are so many other wonderful sensations...
<Irene> ...Tabitha says that is supposed to be a good thing, though...
<Hayley> And actually, I kind of like the pain. It makes me feel alive.
<Irene> :o
<Hayley> Well, if you're as loose as Tabitha you'd probably need to size up.
<Irene> :o
<Irene> That's mean....
* Hayley covers her face, ashamed.
<Hayley> Did I say that?
<Hayley> I can't believe I just said that.
<Irene> (True, though ;D )
<Hayley> I'm sorry...
<Irene> it's okay...
<Irene> I won't tell her on you ;)
<Irene> She's just.... a very physical person
<Hayley> Well... maybe.
* Hayley says dubiously.
* Hayley hugs herself, thinking of Janus.
<Irene> I wonder what it will be like....
* Irene says dreamily
* Irene is starting to develop hormones. ;)
* Hayley has had them for quite a while. ^-^
* Irene has definitely bloomed since you saw her last
<Hayley> <q> You can sort of... try it out, you know.
<Irene> :o
<Irene> ...
<Hayley> <q> By yourself, if you want.
<Irene> <w> Tabitha told me about that ...
* Irene blushes again
<Hayley> <q> It's not quite the same, but it will give you an idea.
* Hayley grins.
<Irene> <w> She said it isn’t the same though.
<Hayley> <w> It isn't, but it does feel good.
* Irene nods
<Hayley> <w> You should try it.
* Irene blushes again
<Irene> <w> I did. :o
<Hayley> Oh!
* Hayley grins even wider.
<Hayley> And...?
* Hayley 's eyes sparkle.
<Irene> Oh.. I don't know... maybe I wasn't doing it right....
<Hayley> :o
<Hayley> Oh...
<Irene> ...
<Irene> <q> I was trying to be careful, because Tabitha said... she said they would know if I wasn't, um, intact, and that it could be bad...
<Hayley> <w> Oh!
* Hayley leans in close and whispers something in Irene's ear.
<Irene> .... that's what that's for? :O
<Hayley> Mm-hmm.
<Irene> Oh. :o
<Hayley> Try it.
<Irene> I'll, um... remember that.
* Irene blushes again, and covers her face.
<Irene> I can't believe I'm saying any of this. :o
<Hayley> I can!
* Hayley singsongs. ^-^
<Irene> (I have to get ready to leave :/)[
<Hayley> (ok)
<Janus> (me too, bus shortly)
<Irene> (it wass fun though. We can do more of the visit stuff later, aharr)
