093: Accidental Video Post

[livingmyths]

[[After directing Harry as to where to find Thomas, Rain had done as Thomas and 'Mana had asked and gone deep into the woods to hide. She tucked herself away in a hollow beside a rock, half burying herself in leaves, unaware that her Network device had begun broadcasting from on top of her backpack where she'd left it, letting anyone who cared to watch Rain as the exhaustion and fear of the past two days caught up with her and she slowly drifted into sleep.

It continued to broadcast as she slept, catching her restlessness and occasional murmurings throughout the night.]]

Are you warm enough? Do you need anything?

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I used to sleep outside all the time, 'Mana, I'm fine.

Thomas wants me to go home, though.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

I won't admit that I'd rather have you inside somewhere as well, but I'd rather you feel safe.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I like sleeping outside.

And Thomas says it's okay if I want to sleep here.

It's far to get home.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Then rest, Rain, it's been a long week, you've earned it.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes. And my house is lonely anyway.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Where is Mat?

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

He's gone for a while. Helping a friend.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

That's nice of him, but are you alone in the house, then?

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Well... yes. We're the only ones who stay there.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Are you alright being there alone?

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, yes. I lived alone there for a long time before Mat needed a new place to live.

I just... I got used to him being there. And holding me at night.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he'll be back soon, Rain, and you won't be alone then.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I know.

I just miss him.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

I know you do.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

But I was always alone before so I'll be just fine.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Well, let me know if you need any company, I'm sure I can come out some evening if you'd like.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay.

But that's why mostly I'll be staying at the Library.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh, that explains it, then.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

It's weird. How you get used to having someone around.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

And it hurts when that person's not there anymore.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

He's going to go away sooner or later, 'Mana. When he finds somebody he really loves or when he has to go home.

I need to just get used to it.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you'll find a new roommate, then.

Re: voice

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

No... I'm not sure there's anyone else I know who'd want to live out here.

Re: voice

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Maybe not now, but perhaps later. But you don't need to worry about that anytime soon, I'm sure, Rain.
