[When the device clicks on there is some silence muddled by the background noise of the forest at night, albeit a presently uneventful corner of it. Well, sort of. Then there is a breath, not quite a sigh or anything so quickly named, but a sound that can amount to a combination of distaste and upset.]There ought to be a law of some kind against ( Read more... )

Are you--

Where are you, Yvaine?

Where do you think?

[her patience snaps a little, what threadbare thing of it was left anyway]

[But she backtracks, a little, knowing it's not his fault this has happened.]

The forest.

[This reply sounds itself like a sigh more than words.]

I'm heading toward there now. Stay on the device so I can find you?

[ Because when Yvaine is in distress, this Tristan can't help but come to the rescue. ]

A unicorn?

Well that seems rather dramatic.

shiningdown May 20 2010, 07:34:42 UTC

That's exactly what it was, Dorian. A unicorn.

And there is nothing dramatic about its being so.

nobodyneedknow May 20 2010, 07:41:35 UTC

No, to kill one, not it being one. No need to be defensive, Yvaine, I didn't murder the bloody thing.

[Someday, she will be queen. Have some of that now, an almost eerie evenness in her tone, though also some undercurrent of you wouldn't dare, having more to do with her anger than what he really would or wouldn't be capable of.]

I'm well aware that you didn't.

[The differences between Dorian Gray and Caspian X have been more obvious to the star than others already, but now especially they come out, and the starkness is an unforgiving one.]

[This young witch's tone of disgust is all too clear.]

Someone killed a unicorn?

voice; shiningdown May 20 2010, 16:20:59 UTC

Yes.

But I didn't see it happen.

[As though to clarify the lack of a point of blame.]

voice; 7thborn May 20 2010, 20:39:52 UTC

I'm still sorry you had to find it. Killing a unicorn's considered a crime in my world. That's awful.

voice; shiningdown May 20 2010, 22:38:30 UTC

What world is that?

Well...there are laws against killing protected species where I come from.

voice; shiningdown May 20 2010, 22:36:38 UTC

I'm glad to hear that.

voice; notverypriestly May 21 2010, 23:54:24 UTC

I'm sorry there's nothing really established here. Dead unicorn's a fucked up sight. Was it for sport or something?

[A pause, because she doesn't recognize....one of those words BUT she gets the general gist by his tone, and agrees completely, so the pause isn't that long!]

I believe it was. Only his horn was missing.

He was shot, and his throat---

[Longer pause...]

But you don't need to apologize...it wasn't your fault.
