Etty calls Nona home after a day and a half more of talking to Carl. He has a lot to take in - a lot; Etty can see why explaining everything to one's parents is not the norm among Bells - and then she retrieved her mother Renate from even longer ago, and caught her up on even more things, most of which she took better than Carl.
growcrooked: (⑧ i am your specialty)
Author: growcrooked		She freecasts to the orchard again.

Author: mute_pen		Etty is inside the castle, but she's looking out a window; she waves when she sees Nona.
growcrooked: (④ takes a little friction)
Author: growcrooked		Nona waves back, appears beside her, and gives her a hug. She's wearing some of Alice's old clothes - blue jeans and a faded black T-shirt.
mute_pen: (not broken)
Author: mute_pen		Etty's still in her feather dress; she just doesn't care enough to bother changing it when it fits and appears all by itself so conveniently. Hug! "Carl and Renate are back in Astgabels, now, but they visit some time in a few days. I think they will adjust to everything, but it may take time."
growcrooked: (⑥ i'm your black swan)
Author: growcrooked		"Okay," says Nona, snuggling her.
mute_pen: (exhale)
Author: mute_pen		"I am sorry if Carl made you uncomfortable."
growcrooked: (⑦ in the air)
Author: growcrooked		"He didn't, exactly. I just - didn't want to be here when there was someone here who didn't want me to be. So I went somewhere else."
mute_pen: (lake)
Author: mute_pen		"He will get used to you."
growcrooked: (⑩ not that kind)
Author: growcrooked		"If you say so."
mute_pen: (exhale)
Author: mute_pen		"I think so, anyway. If he does not perhaps I will borrow somebell else's father from a more enlightened culture and see what he makes of that."
growcrooked: (① allow me the pleasure)
Author: growcrooked		Nona laughs. "I love you. Would you really?"
mute_pen: (private)
Author: mute_pen		"Well, I am not sure who might loan me theirs, but I might really inquire."
growcrooked: (③ write it in your diary)
Author: growcrooked		"I love you," says Nona. "I hope your father does get used to me."
mute_pen: (transforming)
Author: mute_pen		"I love you too. And I hope so too."
growcrooked: (⑧ i am your specialty)
Author: growcrooked		Snuggle hug.
mute_pen: (private)
Author: mute_pen		Huggle! "How did you spend your time somewhere-else, or don't I want to know?"
growcrooked: (⑥ i'm your black swan)
Author: growcrooked		"With Jokers," says Nona. "We did some things that weren't sex."
mute_pen: (not broken)
Author: mute_pen		"Interesting things?"
growcrooked: (① allow me the pleasure)
Author: growcrooked		"I baked a cake!" she says proudly.
mute_pen: (private)
Author: mute_pen		"Ooh. Probably it's all gone now."
growcrooked: (② turn out the lights)
Author: growcrooked		"I could conjure you a piece."
mute_pen: (flight)
Author: mute_pen		"Ooh, will you?"
growcrooked: (⑤ all we need is spark)
Author: growcrooked		She does.

It is tasty cake. Black Forest, to be specific.
mute_pen: (private)
Author: mute_pen		Mmmmmmmm.

Etty enjoys her slice of cake very thoroughly.
growcrooked: (① allow me the pleasure)
Author: growcrooked		"I'm glad you like my cake so much," says Nona. "I will make more."
mute_pen: (flight)
Author: mute_pen		"That sounds lovely."
growcrooked: (② turn out the lights)
Author: growcrooked		"Good! I like baking cake."
mute_pen: (private)
Author: mute_pen		"I used to make cake occasionally but I don't miss it."
growcrooked: (③ write it in your diary)
Author: growcrooked		"It's fun. And then it's cake!"
mute_pen: (not broken)
Author: mute_pen		"That is how it works, yes."
growcrooked: (① allow me the pleasure)
Author: growcrooked		She giggles.
mute_pen: (private)
Author: mute_pen		Nuzzle.
growcrooked: (④ takes a little friction)
Author: growcrooked		Ooh. Nuzzles. They're nuzzly!
mute_pen: (flight)
Author: mute_pen		They are!
growcrooked: (⑤ all we need is spark)
Author: growcrooked		Nuzzle nuzzle.
