FETTERED HOME [VIDEO] (Week 34 - SUNDAY)

[fotlenke]

[ Sigyn is only sending this message to those who she's labeled in her RECEIVER subject line. The names are JACK FROST, PRINCE THOR, PEPPER POTTS, FA MULAN, KERRA HOLT, and finally CLINT BARTON. All else will be unable to see her message.

And her message is: ]

My greetings of the lightest days. [ The camera is leaning up against something hard, as it gives a good view of Sigyn as she sits inside her new house, with a large amount of hay in her lap. She also has a large roll of cloth that stretches off camera and is black. She seems to be stitching up the side, leaving a large opening at the top. ] For all those concerned for my location, I have vacated my room within the Flop and have made my home inside a lovely house in the mountains, by the river. [ She continues to stitch, pulling more of the cloth into her lap as she makes her way down with her stitches. ] I ask of you to not visit with me 'till Moon's Day morn. My apologies for leaving so abruptly, but I do not feel safe as a sorceress within the city.

You don't feel safe because of a sorceress?

[fotlenke]

[ Sigyn doesn't lock her already private communication circle to just Kerra. She trusts these people. They can listen if they want. ]

I do not feel safe because I am a sorceress. As well as powerful and unstable, as Kaidan told me. I am not trusted, and I am to be watched, and I am, [ Her voice chokes and she stops her stitch, a lump in her throat. No tears. No tears for Kaidan and the rest of the ignorant mass. ] and I think he would chain me if possible.

[ She grips the cloth tight. ] Is that what he had said? I am unsure, but to mine own ears, he said such and I do not feel safe laying down my head so close to a person such as Kaidan. What if he is like Tony Stark? What if he attempts to place those awful metal collars about my neck and seal my magic? I cannot live without my magic. I will die without my magic. [ She's practically babbling now, worked up. ]

[erranthero]

Look. I dunno who this guy is. But if he tries to chain you I'll hang him out to dry. Period.

[She sighs and...resists the urge to facepalm]

If you think moving out is better, then do it. But if some halfwit tries to collar you, he'll answer to me first. I'm a Jedi, and we don't let people take away other people's freedom unless they're going around killing people. Which you are not.

[fotlenke]

Your concern is touching, My Friend. But I do not wish to see you injured by Kaidan. Horrible and prejudice he acts, but there is heart beneath that blackness. A good man but a foolish man.

[ She smiles, touched. And she sniffs, not realizing that a tear had strayed down her cheek. ]

My greatest, most adored thanks, My Friend. You are the first to call me such in all my living years.

[erranthero]

I'm not terribly sure just how...bad a fighter you think I am, Sigyn, but it'll take more than a bit of work to really get me injured. But what do you mean prejudiced? What did he say to you exactly

[Kerra blinks. She...didn't call Sigyn her friend. Hell, she's not even sure she likes this...Vanguardir or whatever she is. But she's not about to let someone just chain up a free person, halfwit or not.]

Hey, don't get all emotional on me. I'm just doing what a Jedi's supposed to do.

[fotlenke]

You are a wonderful warrior, Lady Mercy, but I do not wish for Kaidan to implicate you in any trial. That he dislikes me, well and good, but I do not want you to catch any of my trouble. You may find him perfectly amiable compared to my experiences. [ In other words, what may not work for Sigyn, may very well work for Kerra. ]

Kaidan said that he had faced enemies to which he likened me. He said that he did not trust my open emotions and thought I were only fooling him. My sincerest apologies. I forget that open emotion is unheard of in different realms.

[erranthero]

[She snorts, but nods. Sounds like just another mess.]

Don't apologize to me, just keep yourself safe. Living out in the wilds isn't always the safest decision.

[fotlenke]

[ She frowns. ] Despite what you may surely think, Lady Mercy, I am not stupid. I know the dangers and have prepared myself against such dangers.

[erranthero]

Did I say you were?

[She rolls her shoulder]

Just want you to be careful, alright?

[fotlenke]

Actions speak loud as words.

[ Folds her arms. ]

I thank you for the warning.

[erranthero]

Just giving you a heads up. I'll probably come out to check on you from time to time.

[fotlenke]

Fair warning. The girl uses defenses that may burn you to a crisp should you come without giving the girl fair warning of said arrival.

[erranthero]

I'll keep it in mind, friend.

[She laughs.]

Over and out.

[fotlenke]

That is no jest. My home is protected by my defensive magics. They shall burn you should you come too close without giving me warning firsthand.

[ Really. It's no joke. ]

[erranthero]

I...believe you? I remember the carpet. Relax, I take you seriously.

[Geez...]
