Post Sixteen: I hate this place

[witchofthechalk]

[Tiifany Aching is a witch. She knows she shouldn't let her emotions control her. But it's hard not to as she sits in the park looking down at the Feegle who seems to think he's a dog now. She's already tried yelling at him and now is just sitting there quietly.

She's in a bit of a shock and will sit like this for a long time. A very long time. Family you may have to come looking for her.]

[After a few hours Sophie was a bit nervous over Tiffany's absence. So she's been out looking for her. She spots her in the park and walks over, noticing the barking Feegle. She quietly takes a seat next to Tiffany.]

...I'm sorry, Tiffany.

[Tiffany doesn't look over. Just sits there, looking numb]

....I thought he might have just gotten in trouble. But he hasn't been around for days....

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[She puts her arm around Tiffany's shoulder and hugs her close.]

He may come back still...and if he doesn't, well I'm sure he's safe at home, and looking for a way to get you there as well.

[She lets herself get hugged. Trying to ignore the lump in her throught and the tears in her eyes.]

I hope so....

....I'm so used to a few feegles following me around everywhere. They always felt they had to protect me. It's so strange not to have them here...and now Rob's gone...

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I imagine it is. I know it hurts to lose someone you care about here. If there is anything I can do to help, I'll do it.

[Well, maybe an older witch can help lift some of the troubles...Or at least share in them, which is just as good.]

Penny for your thoughts?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She glances over to see Nanny and sighs]

....Rob's been droned.

[bananana-dakry.livejournal.com]

[Sits down next to her.]

Mmm, so he has. I ain't heard him swear or ask for a drink yet.

...What'dya recon happens to the mind when the town takes it away from'em?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

And he's acting like a dog.

[And that disturbs her so much...]

I...thought they went home. I know some people have returned there ...and then back again.

But...I'm not sure. This Mrs. Smith...aparently she was someone else and they just made her think she was a different person..

[mare-libertas.livejournal.com]

Tiffany? What's wrong?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She glances up to see Sealand and tries to look less sad.]

Hello Sealand. It's....A friend of mine from home was droned.

[mare-libertas.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[He knows there's really not much anyone can do about that.]

Are you gonna be okay?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Se sighs and tries to smile]

...I think so.

It's just...a bit of a shock.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Tiffany, there you are. I had to send my fairies looking for you. Honestly, n...

What's wrong?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She's staring at the ground and looks up blinking quickly and wiping an eye. She was not crying before...really]

Ah...England I'm sorry....I must have lot track of time...

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... Why are you crying?

Was it a boy? I'll give him a good talking to if it was somebody who made you cry.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She blinks again]

I wasn't I...

What? It wasn't a boy.

[She sighs and folds her arms]

....It's Rob....They droned him.

LJ's notifs are crap right now, so this'll be sketchy. orz

[ona-yoyo.livejournal.com]

[He peeks from around a tree near her and notices her distress. After a hesitant moment, he smiles and speaks.]

... Hey there, little lady.

hooray for sketchy. :P

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She glances over and attempts a smile.]

Oh, ...hi Woody.

[on-a-yoyo.livejournal.com]

[He'll attempt one, too, though yours is far sadder to look at, I'm sure.]

Somethin' wrong? You've been out here for a while.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She sighs]

It's Rob. He's one of the Feegles I was telling you about.

...They droned him.

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I liked him!

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Looks over a little surprised.]

You know Rob?

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

He was an interesting...whatever he was.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

He was...is a Feegle.
