“I have been, my dragon is called Skalos, she’s truly lovely and understands the very nature of my soul. I’m most pleased with what the universe has handed me.” she then paused, licking her lips slowly, trying to lie quickly, it was amazing to her how her sisters could lie as if it was a light switch being turned on and off. “OH! You want to know? Well…I suppose most of then have been an overbearing darkness, a hand on my shoulder, as if holding me down in a spot” she tried, even if it had REALLY been happening as it was what her mother had done to her before she’d left for her ‘mission’.

Gen nodded, relieved to hear a witch getting along so well with her dragon. Her own was at least going fairly well, but she knew it could be an adjustment for the others. The witch’s eyebrow rose with the other woman’s hesitation. Of course she wanted to know what the visions were. Sharing them would only serve the coven to better protect itself from what could be coming. She towards her still damp notebook, trying to remember if she had seen anything similar. “And do you get any... feelings from the hand holding your down? Is it protective? Threatening?”

“Well, I do have skin that shines like sapphires in the sun?” She offered “Then I have this smile in my human form which makes others weak in the knees?” she mused, then smoothing her hands up the womans arms. “Ooh, you saw through me” she chuckled, then nibbling her lower lip “SO, tell me something fun about you, if we’re to share souls we should at least get all the exciting and embarrassing stuff aired to save time before we are killed.”

Genevieve just laughed, shaking her head. “I’ll be sure to look forward to getting to see all those best attributes.” The witch laughed, though the sound bordered on a scoff. “Something fun? Well, I do have this tendency to bake when my visions feel like they’re getting to me too much. Have you tried many baked goods? Because I’ll certainly change that if you haven’t, considering all the potential world-ending doom to stress me out.”

The celebration was at least a raucous distraction from the foreboding words foretold by the Grand Seer. Some were definitely able to dismiss them easily, but they were weighing on Genieve, which left her skirting the edges of the party, nursing her glass of wine as she observed everyone else. Still, she pushed a smile onto her lips as someone came to stand beside her. “I do hope you’re enjoying yourself more than I am.”

He gave her a soft smile. “Honestly, since I can have kids at any age, I don’t think she ever will stop asking. Our lineage and the role of scribe depends on it. I have the pressure someone would if they’re repopulating the world.” He laughed lightly. “And you’re no lost cause, ‘Vieve.”

“I always just tried to get my family to find comfort in the fact that I wasn’t a total rebel and at least embraced the role in the coven. If I’m not going to continue the line of our family’s position, at least I took our name to it as far as I could.” She grinned at him ruefully. “If you ever pick up a knack for necromancy, reach out to my grandmother and tell her that.”

Libra set her hands on her hips as she stood watching the other, she needed to consider her moves, needing her answer to be authentic for the witch that actually had the gifts that she was lying about. “They are indeed, they are interrupting my sleep, it’s becoming rather tiresome…Mentally and literally” she murmured, taking off her long black coat, the woman wearing a long fully sleeved black dress, never showing off her bare skin.

“And you’ve been bonded, yes? I thought being bonded meant we could share some of the power, and maybe get a bit more stability, so if the visions are affecting you that much ...” She stopped sopping up the spilled liquid, stepping closer to the other witch, brows drawn together in concern. “What are they about?”

The dragon looked slightly confused when her hands were taken, she swallowed thickly and her hearts pounded in her chest (The hybrid being one of the dragon species to have two hearts) “Ahh, well that fills me with nothing but relief, my plumage is about all that I have going for me…” she laughed softly, the dragon moving her own hands so that she could keep a hold of the womans “You know, this doesn’t feel wrong like I thought it would…” she then said after a moment “I thought I’d absolutely hate having to share my lifeforce with another, but you are…..You’re not an average Two Legged.”

Genevieve shook her head, smiling at the dragon gently. “I’m sure there is plenty more to you than your brilliant feathers.” She glanced down at her continuing their hold, not having expected the dragons to be so comfortable with her touch—but perhaps it was just this one in particular. “And now I have to wonder if you’re just flattering me so you can feel the benefits in our shared emotions,” she teased. “If it is, it’s working.”

“I must admit…this thing called spaghetti is pretty good. It’s my favorite thing so far that the humans eat.” Damien hums out, fingers going to play with the small bottle of water he had. “Though…if you have any other recommendations…I’d gladly listen to them.”

[genevieveduke-blog]

“Oh, spaghetti is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to pasta. Believe me, you’re in for a wonderful world of discovery,” she chuckled. “I’d also recommend any sort of breakfast food: pancakes, bacon, French toast. That sort of stuff is wonderful.”

“Okay I know, I know, but I’m just borrowing some of Aiden’s poppy seeds. I wanted to plant some in my garden but I didn’t have any. I promise he won’t even notice”

“Poppy seeds? You know he has to have an exact count of them.” She tried her best to look stern before breaking into a light chuckle. “Listen, if he does notice they’re gone, I haven’t seen anything and you certainly weren’t here.”

“Actually the complete opposite. I’m just assuming it’ll never happen. I know I’m still young compared to most, but nothing’s been said to me directly. I’ve got more important things on my mind. Like my mother pressuring me to give her grandbabies to keep the family line going.” He rolled his eyes with a smile. “She means well, but it makes me feel odd when I think about it like that.”

“You really think Morgana is going to let one of us slip by without a bond?” She supposed it could happen, she didn’t know how many dragons there were. But she also knew the witches needed to be a little more open to the bonds, if only for the boost to their own power. She laughed, shaking her head. “They stop asking after awhile, don’t worry,” she said, a note of bitterness sneaking into her voice. “I suppose you don’t want to be the lost cause of your family like me, though.”

Libra had been caught up in her own conflict on interests, worried that she and Skalos would be caught had they not continued to be careful. When Genevieve called over to her, she blinked a couple of times before snapping into action. “Of course, my apologies I must have been caught in some of own visions?” she said as she handed the requested napkins over.

Genevieve chuckled, pressing the offered napkins against the page, careful not to wipe and smear the ink. “Are they getting worse for you?” she asked, quietly concerned. She realized she didn’t know that much about her fellow witch, and hoped she hadn’t been ignoring something bad happening to a member of her community.

“Well, that is correct…” The dragon admitted, having not noticed how the other was lingering close to her, since she was a very social dragon with her own kin, so used to body contact and lack of space. “You are one of the future tellers, tell me. Will my beautiful plumage last? I’m worried one day I’ll wake and all my feathers will have fallen out, tell me oh wise Seer” she smirked “I would say that it is a pleasure, Genevieve but I’m sure that I will become a mental drain on your very soon”

She slipped her hands to hold each of the dragon’s, her thumbs rubbing over the back of her hand. “Do you really want to know?” Her eyebrows raised before her eyes slipped shut, not actually pressing her powers too far. But, she was practiced enough in the foresight, that even joking about it could allow her small flashes, and a dragon keeping her feathers were small enough to allow some imagines to slip through. “I think your plumage will stay around to dazzle us for some time longer. I’m not getting any images of bare wings or piles of fallen feathers.” She chuckled, shaking her head. “Oh, we’ll certainly make a pair, because I was considering myself to be the drain.”

“No, I can’t see that being a good thing.” He smiled. Aiden didn’t anticipate meeting his dragon for quite a while longer. He hadn’t had much of a chance to speak with the Grand Seer about this, so he paid no mind. First, he needed to find the eventual mother of his children - another thing that he hadn’t really worked on. 

“How have you been? I feel like everyone can be so on edge around here, either waiting for the forces of darkness or waiting to see how their bond will go over. I trust you’re not catastrophizing like all of them.” Genevieve tended to worry after anyone, a side affect of never settling down to focus her attention on an individual.

Aiden found himself bumping into the older witch. “It’s alright, I got in your way on purpose, because I could tell you weren’t watching. I’d rather you bump into me than have something a little more painful happen.” He smiled softly at the woman. 

Genevieve smiled gently at him, shaking her head at her own distraction still. “How kind of you, Aiden,” she chuckled. “I suppose it would be worse for me to run into one of the dragons, right? I can’t imagine Adariva would appreciate feeling that one.”

Genevieve cursed softly as her coffee spilled over the page of her journal that she was scribbling in. She tended to make a note of dreams—even casual daydreams while her mind drifted. They weren’t formal visions, but sometimes the small details from them could be key in understanding her work. “Hey, Riva, could you pass me those napkins?”

[genevieveduke-blog]

It was odd, now, for Genevieve to have the pull of Adariva on her. It was different from the pull of a vision starting, and it was oddly comforting, in a way, to be aware of the other. But the new sensation was leaving her distracted, evidenced by how she ran into the person in front of her. “Sorry. It seems letting my mind wander at the same time as my feet is a dangerous practice.”
