0156: Accidental Video

[livingmyths]

Rain's taking advantage of a bit of a break in the clouds to dance on the roof top. It's sunny and she's happy and the Library loves her and all she wants to do is express her joy. her words come out in almost a song, straight from the heart and all a-whimsy.

"Over hill, over dale,
Through bush, through brier,
Over park, over pale,
Through flood, and on the roof,
Rain does wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be:
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
I must go seek some new books here
And sing a song into the Librar's ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits; I'll be gone:
Our queen and all our elves come here anon.

... Anon, anon, anon! I love that word!"

And there is more dancing!

[He lifts a brow but takes her hand anyways.]

Alright. But I did warn you that I might not be very good.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

[She looks at him seriously.]

I don't mind. I'm not very good at lots and lots of things, but I do them because they make me happy. And as long as no one laughs at me, it's okay.

And I wouldn't laugh at you.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[He comes closer to her.]

What's my first lesson?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Jusst put your face up to the sky and feel the sun warm on your face. Doesn't that feel wonderful? Doesn't it make you happy?

[She did just that, still holding onto his hand, until her whole body almost trembled with happiness.]

Now just twirl!


[And she gently tugged him to spin with her.]

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

[He actually lets out a soft laugh as he lets Rain spin him. Though he just met her, he can tell she's a sweet person and likes to see her happy like this.]

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

[She beamed at him.]

See! You're happier already!

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

I guess your system actually works.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

That's 'cause it's easy and no one cares if you mess up!

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] You're right about that.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

[She bit her lip and leaned in a little closer as if to share a secret.]

I've only done real real dancing a couple of times. It was fun, but I don't know if I was very good at all. This way, as long as you're happy, you're doing it right.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

[His eyes soften a bit as he continues to smile.]

You're very good at this kind of dance so I think you'd be very good at the other.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

[She blushed.]

Oh, I don't know. But it was fun to get all dressed up in a fancy dress.

[Her face was up towards the sun today as if she was soaking in all of it's warmth, eyes drifting closed, even as she still held onto his hand.]

I'm glad you came to dance with me. You know what's even more fun? Dancing in the woods by the river under a full moon.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

[He watches her as he listens, a little bit fascinated by how honest she is.]

I've never done that before. I haven't really had the chance to do anything relaxing in the woods I've been in.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Really?

[Her eyes were wide.]

I love the woods. I have a little house there. You'll have to come visit me. It's really really wonderful there.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

You living in the woods... It suits you.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

[She beamed at him, then looked a bit more serious.]

The City is too loud. It scares me sometimes. All the people thinking loud and feeling loud and... I hid here for a long time or I made a little sort of lean to in the woods, but when it got cold some friends helped make me a tiny house 'cause they didn't want me outside in the winter.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

[He nods and looks up at the sky.]

Cities can be terrifying places. So much all in one place without it seeming like there's a place to escape to.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

[She nodded solemnly.]

I hide in the low levels here, where it's dark. Or I come up here to the roof where it's open.

[She'd started moving idly again, dancing slowly and bringing him with her gently.]

I grew flowers up here in the summer. In pots and things. I want to try and build a greenhouse here now so I can have them even in the summer. And I could sleep there too in the winter if I didn't want to go home.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

[He follows along after her, tilting his head when he hears about a greenhouse.]

I know about greenhouses. I am a florist back in England.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

[She stopped dead, eyes wide open in surprise and delight.]

You do? You are? Oh, that's wonderful! Do you want to help? You could grow flowers there too. Or tell me what to grow.

Oh, Aya!

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

I can help get a greenhouse built here.

[That won't be too hard really. They have time for that.]

And I own a shop here so I can get you some flowers from it.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Really? Really truly?

[She moved in to try and hug him delightedly, not considering even for an instant whether he'd like that or not.]

Oh, Aya!

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

[He blinks in surprise at the hug but allows it, smiling after a moment and resting a hand on her head.]

Really. I'll help you.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! Now we really have to dance!

[She tugged gently at him, wanting to just dance and twirl and express her happiness.]

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

[He lets himself be pulled along, dancing as best he can.]
