Thread: The Witch and the Alchemist (closed)

Dorelia was sitting back on the bed as she waited and wondered what the woman would say. She was caught off guard by the woman??s approach to her question and she found herself blushing. She did not expect to find herself being lectured on men. She tried to make sense of this but it just seemed to confuse her. Baba had been her teacher ever since her father brought her to him, but when she was with Baba the subject of men oddly enough never came up. Back with Baba they lived secluded and there was so much to learn about magic that normal things like men didn??t seem to interest her all that much but now she was wishing that had. Maybe then she wouldn??t feel so lost. However, after Abigail??s little speech on men, she was happy to hear that he knew that she trusted him. He didn??t seem to understand how much she trusted him but she was happy that he at least knew that he had her trust. She found herself looking at her arm. The wound was healed by now but that did not change the fact that she had his blood in her veins. To a normal person that might not be much but to a witch that was just about everything. The blood was the life energy, an ingredient needed in almost every spell. Often times biting the inside of the cheek would be enough but sometimes it required a slit wrist, or, for vilely evil spells, a slit throat of a sacrifice. He gave his blood to save her life, his blood and tears and desires where enough to caste the spell to bring her back form the dead. Landon not only gave his blood but his tears as well and in doing so he managed to save her life. Abigail mentioned apologizing and she had no problem with that. She got to her feet, wavering a moment, giving Abigail quite a scare thinking that the poor girl was going to fall over, before she stood steady on her feet. She was dressed to go somewhere and that was what she wanted to do. She turned to Abigail and took the woman??s hand??s up in her own. ??I??ll do just that... but first I think I need to go shopping...? with that she released the woman??s hands and picked up the cross that was next to the bed. She put it over her neck then she went to the woman and took her hand, almost pulling the woman behind her as she walked form the hospital. ??I think there may have been some money hidden in that hat... I would like to keep the hat and outfit, maybe it will jog some memories...? she told the woman and she pulled the woman behind her. She saw some people outside but she paid them no mind. She was on her way back to Abigail??s house to see if she had something she could sell or some money inside of her hat. ??I really will need to find some kind of job here... I will figure that out later... if I don??t have any money I surely have something to sell.? She told the woman, it wasn??t until they got back to Abigail??s home that she noticed the confused look on the woman??s face. ??Oh... um... it must not be the same here...? she blushed in embarrassment as she looked down. ??Well, see... Abigail... where I??m form, after people fight they go to make up but they bring a gift as a sort of peace offering...? she smiled at the woman, ??Like, ??don??t be mad at me, I brought you some soup,?? only I can??t cook a thing so I can??t bring him soup...? she looked down, ??I just need a bowl with some fresh water in it and a few tea leaves. Preferred a wooden bowl, not to big, not to deep...? she realized how strange this would sound and she smiled, ??My father gave something like this to a man who was mad at him once and the two of them became good friends.? Then she looked back down, ??Abigail, I will need a job soon, I can??t keep depending on other people to care for me and I don??t know what I can do other then be a maid or an aid to one of the others here but I can??t exactly do either since I don??t know how.? After that she looked back up at her, ??Is there some kind of market here that I can get the things I need form or do I need to buy them form someone?? she asked Abigail, sure that this would work if only she could get what she needed. Then surely Landon couldn??t be mad at her anymore.
