096: Just Rain?

[livingmyths]

I guess I have to think about things some more. Some people who are really important to me don't want to call me River because Rain is really important to them.

So maybe... maybe Rain is good enough. I have to think about it for a while.


[Private to Harry]

Harry? Is he all right? Can I see him?


[Private to Thomas[

Thomas... This doesn't change the way I feel about you.

I just want to help. Please let me? At least keep talking to me.

I'll be watching Orion and pretending I'm with you.

She smiled up at him. "Maybe... maybe I should wish that I'd met you there at Two Rivers."

Now he grinned in amusement. "You'd look so pretty in a Two Rivers dress."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"A Two Rivers dress?" she asked curiously. "What's that?"

Re: Action!

"Every country has it's own clothing style. In Two Rivers, women and girls were good wool dresses. They're simple but they look so nice. And women brain their hair and the girls don't." He had no idea why they did that. He rarely ever understood anything concerning the way women thought.

"Would I braid my hair or not?" she mused. "And I wish I could wear a dress like that for you."

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"That would be up to the women in the council. But I think they would." He smiled. "You can wear anything and I'll like it on you."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"Anything or nothing!" Rain teased.

"Would they like me, you think?" she asked for a moment.

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"Well hush now." He laughed though since it was true.

"I think they'd love you, Rain."

Re: Action!

She giggled into his hip, then sighed happily. "I can't imagine what it would be like to live in a place like that. Especially where everyone liked me."

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He grinned brightly. "People like you here."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"I know," she said wonderingly. "Isn't that amazing?"

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"Probably because you're amazing."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Rain laughed and nuzzled at his hip. "Here at least, maybe!"

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Mat shook his head. "No. You are amazing. People here just have the capability of seeing that."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She giggled again, then became quieter. "I don't want to leave, Mat. Is that a bad thing?"

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He sighed and leaned back on his hands. "No, Rain. That's not a bad thing."

Re: Action!

"Then I'm going to keep hoping I stay," she said firmly.

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"Then I'm going to keep hoping you stay happy here," he said in reply.

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She smiled up at him. "You're so good to me always.

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He gave her a silly grin. "Of course I am."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She sighed happily and snuggled in closer. "And you're home."

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He smiled at her. "That's right. I'm home."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"And now it feels like home again. Not that I missed you," she teased. "Only Drop. That's why I had to go stay somewhere else."

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"And here I missed you. But since you didn't miss me..." He let it hang there in a teasing tone.

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"Well... I might have missed you just the tiniest bit..."
