The Snake Charmer

You have a snake?

Yes. Is that a problem?

Have you been in love?

Only with my snake. I look forward to it. It’s supposed to be the greatest adventure of all, yes? I have my doubts about finding someone here, though.

ghastly-lupin: I don’t believe I’ve seen you around here before. Then again, I haven’t been here...

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:45:00 -0400

I don’t believe I’ve seen you around here before. Then again, I haven’t been here that long myself.

I usually keep to myself, though you may not recognize me without my snake Darling.

ghastly-lupin: Probably, though I doubt I ever will. You never know. Don’t lose hope.

Probably, though I doubt I ever will.

You never know. Don’t lose hope.

ghastly-lupin: It’s just constant noise that they insist on playing all the time. It’s not...

It’s just constant noise that they insist on playing all the time.

It’s not that bad. Maybe you just aren’t used to it yet.

ghastly-lupin: I wish the music would stop… And why is that?

I wish the music would stop…

And why is that?

Why am I so nocturnal?

She’s fine. Are you looking for her? She’s on the bed -Says this nodding towards the bed where the snake lay curled up on a pillow-

*Her eyes wander to the pillow and she freezes, swallowing quietly as she turns back to the tea, taking the cup over towards Belinda* She does seem peaceful now.

She’s not scary, I promise. She’s very sweet. -She says as she takes the cup of tea and takes a long sip- It’s delicious, Violet. Thank you.

“On the contrary, I’m a great deal of fun; just not when I’m sleep deprived.” As Belinda mentioned the possibility of lighting another candle, Darcy sighed. With a careless toss, he returned the flame to the wick. He pushed off of the door-frame, crossing the room again, this time to claim a chair. Darcy turned the chair, leaning against the back he stared at Belinda. He blinked, trying to banish the sleep fatigue that sought to overtake him. “It seems I’ll have to sit here then, until you relinquish all candles, matches, lanterns and and other related paraphernalia.” Darcy tried a tired grin, resting his chin upon the chair-back.

She gave him a small smile and shook her head. “You have yet to prove that to me. So I will continue to assume that you are not fun.” Belinda’s smile grew when Darcy returned the fire to it’s rightful place on her candle. His special tricks had never ceased to amaze her, though she would never tell him that lest his ego get even larger. Her eyebrows rose when he actually sat on a chair stating his intentions of remaining there. “Well, I don’t imagine that happening anytime soon, so I suppose you are stuck here. Though you do realize how improper this is, I trust.”

No, no reason at all. Just a sleepless night. Darling woke a bit ago and quickly fell asleep after she was certain I would be up for a while yet.

Is she alright? *tilts her head a bit, looking around for the snake while preparing the tea. Honestly she was a little frightened by it.

She’s fine. Are you looking for her? She’s on the bed -Says this nodding towards the bed where the snake lay curled up on a pillow-

firemaster-darcy: …Ladies? Oh dear.

…Ladies?

Oh dear.

belindameansbeautifulserpent:

That would be perfect. No trouble here. Just restless nights. Tea would probably help me to sleep.

Is there a reason for it? Any stress or discomfort happening? That’s when I can’t sleep, sorry if it seems like I’m prying M- Belinda.

No, no reason at all. Just a sleepless night. Darling woke a bit ago and quickly fell asleep after she was certain I would be up for a while yet.

“Oh I had not intended to go blindly.” Darcy crossed the length of the room, stopping beside the solitary candle. He laced his fingers together, flexing his hands before scooping the candle-flame into his palms. The Fire Master grinned sleekly, imminently pleased with himself as he returned to lean against the door frame; the stolen candle light converted into an makeshift lantern, caged within his hands. “I have more than adequate lighting to return me to my own rooms; you should know however, that I am deeply touched by your concern.”

Lindy watched for a minute as he actually dared to take the fire from her candle. She rolled her eyes at the obvious showing off. Scoffing, she pushed herself out of the chair. “If you take my only light, I will only light another,” she said with a slight laugh. Her arms crossed over her chest in a somewhat defensive though languid movement. “You are no fun at all, you know that. Right, Mr. Darcy?” she mocked.

Violet, I think we’re past the “Miss” business. It’s Belinda. Tea would be lovely though, as long as you will join me, of course.

Sorry Mi- Belinda. I can have a cup with you before turning in. I actually brought a tea ball with me, I saw your light on and thought you might be having trouble.

That would be perfect. No trouble here. Just restless nights. Tea would probably help me to sleep.

Perhaps it isn’t, but it makes the days awfully long and arduous.

I can understand that. Would you like a cup of lavender tea Miss Belinda? Maybe that would help.

Darling seems to have no trouble sleeping, day or night. Until it’s time to eat, at least.

Oh…

Maybe it’s not such a bad thing though! More happens at night *smiles a bit*

The Fire Master appears, opening the door to peer around the edge. “My heart is bleeding for you, truly; however if you cannot sleep, perhaps you might turn out your light, so others might be allowed to?” Darcy glowered at her from beneath a tangle of sleep tousled hair; his fingers drummed irritably against the door pane as he addressed her.

Belinda looked at his less than perfect appearance and held back a laugh. “Someone clearly need his beauty rest.” She gave him a smile anyways to let him know he couldn’t upset her. “I seriously doubt my light was bothering you that much, but by all means, you are welcome to leave me without anything to see by.”
