Post Thirty One: Doing the rounds

[There is a teenage girl knocking at your door. Yes your door.....unless you are Teatime. She's wearing a witches hat and carrying a bag in her hands.]

That's a lot of ground to cover on foot. You must get a lot of exercise already! [ Sounding rather proud about that. ] Do you want to rest? I can give you some t-- [ Turning to gesture inside, she slams that cast against the doorframe, and let's just say her bit lip was holding back a choice swear or three. ] Mm! Mmmhmmhmmmm.

Here.

[Tiffany puts her hand out.]

Give me your hand.

[not_so_great_wall]

Hm? [ After a moment of hesitation, she does just that. There's no reason someone going door-to-door dispensing heals is to be suspected... right? ]

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

[Well in this case she's quite safe. And concentrating on the balance, Tiffany draws the pain out of Meiling. It's a familiar feeling for Tiffany and after a moment Meiling's arm will feel fine.

Tiffany looks around and walks over to some metal and let's the pain flow into that.]

[ Meiling looks on in wonder, and then flexes her hand... well, as much as the cast allows. ] Wow, that's-- that's really amazing!

[ She bows to the girl. ] Thank you, Tiffany!

Oh. I didn't even tell you-- my name is Meiling.

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

It's still injured but the pain should stay away for a while.

[She bows back.]

A pleasure to meet you. Have you been stuck here long?

[not_so_great_wall]

Oh. [ Her expression dims a bit, as she wiggles her fingers. Then she laughs. ] I guess I'll have to keep being careful! [ Except later she'll totally take the cast off early... ]

About three weeks, I think. What about you?

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

I've been here for.... I think it would be a year and six months, using this calender.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ A blink, but then she smiles. ] That's as long as my-- [ She gestures behind her toward the staircase that leads up to the second floor. ] --well, here I guess she's my daughter... Though that's really weird to say.

[ Ahem. ] My friend Miss Patchouli, that is.

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

I don't believe I've met her. She's been here that long though?

[not_so_great_wall]

Mm! She told me so when she found me. [ Meiling has a seat, since she's still rather tired from all the chaos. ] Miss Patchouli actually explained a lot of things about Mayfield, and even though a lot of it doesn't make sense -- and things've been pretty crazy around here here lately, too, so I'm pretty much convinced that everything she told me is true.

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

I can see that. Not very much makes sense around here.

[not_so_great_wall]

It's a little overwhelming... but I let Miss Patchouli try to think about the deeper stuff. As long as I can be here to keep her safe, that's good enough for me!

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

That's nice of you.

[not_so_great_wall]

Heh, well, it was my job back home. [ She smiles. ] Being away from home shouldn't change that, right?

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

Of course not.

[not_so_great_wall]

That's what I thought! [ Smiling, she clapped her hands together -- probably not a smart move -- and stood back up. ] You probably have a lot more people to see still. I won't keep you long, but I really do thank you for stopping by and helping me out!

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

[She nods before turning to leave.]

You're welcome. Remember to be careful with the arm.

[not_so_great_wall]

I will, Tiffany! [ Said as she... waves goodbye with it. She's such a good listener. ]

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

[Tries not to sigh. Well it didn't seem "too" bad from what she could tell. Now back to her rounds.]
