Magic of Mystery [Spirit]

She realized the amount of fog and shook her head. "No there isn't, but I guess things have just gotten worse since I took this job." She was still tempted to commit suicide and that option really didn't ever go away for her whether she was happy or not. "I shouldn't have said so much, me and my big mouth. I'm sure the animals are calm again and you can go back to work. Didn't mean to waste your time." She tried to cool off and failed, the fog just got worse. She sat down by her tent and looked at the ground. "I just wanted to help, but I don't think that's what ended up happening." She got up and brushed off her dress as she walked over to her tent.

Silence somehow ended up back near the dragon cage in her wanderings and sat down. "Might as well get over my fear of your kind while I'm here." She was blatantly shaking and completely terrified, but it was one of those things she had to do. She rested against the side of the cage restlessly and looked in. "Guess I can just sit here for a while, not like I have anything else I can do. My cat stole my bed for the moment and there's no way I can face Rimegon now. Not after making an idiot of myself like that. . .Can I. . .?" She felt helpless to do much of anything and instead just looked at the dragon. "Can't believe I'm asking this but you have any ideas? I know you don't want me hanging around here the rest of the day. I've gone insane I'm talking to a dragon and it probably has no idea what I'm saying." she said smacking her hand to her forehead and dragging it down her face.

She looked a bit shocked and about choked on air. "Well. . .I guess I should've expected karma to dish out something like this. . .Not bad enough I'm scarred for life due to losing my family I now find out that you understand English. What's next Felix isn't actually a tomcat he's a she?" She sighed and took a few deep breaths before calming down. "You'd think dealing with children would take all the surprise out of life but it hasn't." She turned toward the dragon and blinked. "Hey if he's still willing to talk to me I'll be happy as a cricket! Even if nothing ever comes of it having someone to talk to makes a world of difference." She snorted. "I don't care if anyone ever loves me I'd be happy just to have a friend that's not a cat. I've just about given up on finding love so that's out of the question for a long while." Some of her scarred back was visible through her shirt thanks to some water dripping onto it. "Work and romance are the last things I want to see or think about."

"You have an itch? Or you just want out to stretch your legs? I can help with both problems. And all I expect is to be paid my salary every week or two from the boss. And for Felix to give up my bed when I go back to my tent. Heck I might just sleep in here when it rains, my tent has a hole from where it caught fire when I first got here. And before you ask, yes I caught it on fire, but it was during practice for my very first performance." She fiddled with the lock and opened the cage door as she sat inside, leaving the cage door cracked. "Guess this is a stupid idea but oh well. I'm not totally defenseless so I'm not going to bother with safety measures. Not to mention you're better company than most humans."

"I can come around more often if that'll keep you from getting bored so easily. Eh, Felix comes and goes as he likes. Usually I have my bed when I need it the most, but no other time than that." She snorted and held a ball of fire in her hand. "When you scorch a hole in something you need fabric too." She sat back and sighed. "Besides, I never learned how to sew, mother didn't have the chance to teach me. All I know is dance and my fire act, respectively." She lay next to the dragon and shut her eyes for a few moments. "You have a name. . .? Mine's Silence, Silence Firenza." She winced slightly and moved to a different position. "Hope the dragon that did this to me is long dead."

"I just said I hope it's dead, doesn't mean I hate all dragons and no I don't recall saying that, Asrai." she said getting comfy. "Most dragons I've seen since coming here are nothing like the monstrosity that I remember as a child. As for elves being all-knowing I think that's a bit off: Rimegon doesn't seem to know everything from the way he acts, besides sewing is sort of a feminine thing." 'I don't think he'd really be up to teaching me even if he did know how.' "I suppose I like you well enough given the circumstances. . ." she replied quietly. "You've got more personality than half the people I know."

She shook her head slightly. "I'm afraid to look at him right now much less say anything to him. . .After I just made myself look like an idiot." She knew she'd have to shortly, there was no way this dragon would sit here all day like this. "I suppose I 'should' go talk to him. . .If only to give you peace and quiet." she said with a sigh. She got up and closed the cage door before going to find Rimegon to ask him about helping with her tent. "Um. . .R-Rimegon. . .I have a slight problem, think you can help?"

She waved to her dragon friend and looked back to Rimegon. "After a long talk with Asrai I have a tiny little favor to ask of you. . .Can you help me repair something? When I first started here I burned a hole in my tent and I don't know how to sew." she said quickly. She was red in the face from embarrassment and looked at the ground half expecting him to be gone when she looked back up. "I mean you don't have to help, but I was tempted to sleep in the dragon's cage due to the downpour." She didn't explain anything further than that because she still felt very stupid.

"Uhm. . .About like this. . ." she said holding her arms a foot apart and like a circle. "Foot in diameter or just about." She'd definitely be spending more time around the dragon cage, she might have a new friend, or so she hoped. She rubbed her arm nervously and followed him slowly, feeling a bit sick out in the cold. She sneezed once or twice and brushed it off immediately. It seemed the rain wasn't a good place for her to be. She'd decided she was sleeping in the dragon cage, that was final. She figured if he said 'come back anytime' then he wouldn't mind her sleeping there just for one night.

"It doesn't matter one bit what color it is so long as it's slightly more flame retardant than the other stuff." she joked. "But no, color doesn't really matter to me. In fact I rather like patchwork." She fidgeted slightly with her sleeves but was far more relaxed now than she had been a few minutes ago. "I'm just a klutz I guess. . ." she said with a laugh. She rubbed the back of her neck a bit shyly and looked at him. "Thank you for your help. I'm very grateful, Rimegon." She waited patiently for him to return and spoke again. "If need be I can use part of one of my skirts to patch up the hole?"

She walked slowly out of his tent and toward her own. "Word of caution there are breakable things that I keep in my tent, mostly glass bottles and whatnot, just thought I should warn you." She gestured to the hole in the corner over by her bed. "Right there, awful place to practice but I rearranged my stuff a little while back. Guess I stuck my bed in the worst place possible." She shrugged and lit up a line of candles near her bed so he'd be able to see better. "Anything you'll need me to do?"

"Well I can try and climb up the tree overhead?" Tree-climbing was not exactly her forte but she'd try her best anyway. She laughed a bit at his joke. "Skylights are lovely but not in the rain." she said. She looked outside and her smile fell a bit, rain always seemed to get her frowning. She looked about and started on some tea. "It's getting cold, care for me to make tea?" She had already started preparations, but asking was a formality for her. She sat back and warmed the water until it started to whistle. She gave a small sigh and let the tea steep.
