seeking one of many male protectors

[topofadmiration]

Now that she has learned that magic appears to involve a great deal of impending doom paired with next to no ability to act, Miranda is significantly less enthused about the idea. She is in the garden now, tearing absently at a leaf, eyes downcast.

Male protector number one!

He took a nap and feels a bit better now, now that Jaenelle is more like herself, so he goes looking for her, and finds her eventually. Then frowns. "Miranda?" Worriedly.

[topofadmiration]

"My lord," she says with a little smile.

[eyrienprince]

He almost grimaces, but lets it pass. "Something bothering you?"

[topofadmiration]

"It is no great thing, sir."

[emocaliban]

Not male protector! Number two.

Caliban has been spending more time outdoors, and that's how he happens upon her. "Oh - hey, Miranda," he says, trying for a little smile. He's troubled as well, and bad at hiding it, but he does try for her.

[topofadmiration]

"Cal, sir," she says, looking up and smiling.

[emocaliban]

It's easier to smile when she does. "How're you? Haven't seen you in a while, seems like."

[topofadmiration]

"O, it is not ill with me, sir. Art also well?"

[lesser_son]

Okay, anxious fiance time!

"My lady?" he asks, sitting down beside her.

[topofadmiration]

"Good day, my lord," she says, startled.

[lesser_son]

"Art thou well?"

[topofadmiration]

"I am, my lord."

[illgotten]

Do reluctant prospective fathers-in-law count?

Regardless, he feels a little bad about just walking past her. "Are you all right?"

[topofadmiration]

She looks up, rather surprised. "Sir?"

[illgotten]

"Just asking."

[topofadmiration]

"I am well, sir, I thank you," she says, scrambling to her feet. "You are kind to ask," she adds shyly.

[cyranosavignien]

Does Cyrano count? He hasn't seen her much, since the first time, but he did offer....

He will see the young lady and stop by, smiling.

"Why so pensive, Mademoiselle Miranda?"

[topofadmiration]

"It is nothing, sir," she says, looking up at him with a little smile.

[cyranosavignien]

He leans against the tree, not shading her from the sun, not towering, but there, nonetheless.

"You do look a bit forlorn. Has someone been mistreating you?"

[topofadmiration]

"O, no, sir!" If this takes place after her conversation with Lucivar, she may just look pale, with just the littlest pink at her nose and high in her cheeks.
