  He listened, nodding thoughtfully as she enumerated the items she sold at her shop. So she was a healer too. It was good to know who he could go to in case he got injured during his stay.

     ❝Would you like me to carry that      for you?❞

Baelfire pointed to the basket. He would understand if she refused however, since she might be hesitant to have him hold valuable ingredients.

     ❝You’ve been nice to me and I’ll      return the favor when we get to the      village. I could help you gather the      things you need from the forest. Or      maybe run errands for you…?❞

It was how he got by in most places; by taking up any kind of work in exchange for gold, shelter, food or kindness.

Help. It was something Estella didn't come by often. Of course she'd be grateful for it. With care, she handed him the basket, wicker holding the herbs together in a neat packet. "It's not even the slightest bit heavy." More of reassurance than any sort of argument. Initially, Estella would've just dropped him off at the local inn. But now that she thought about, and he offered, maybe they could help each other. Just as it was suggested. "Do you have anyone looking for you?" It'd be disheartening if an angry friend or family member came knocking on the door to tear them apart.  "I'd be more than happy to share my home." She could teach him. Herbs and plants came in handy in many ways, and having an extra set of eyes while she mixed them together could save lives if she overlooked something.

Torture/Tortured sentences

requested by anonymous: TRIGGER WARNING

"Please, you don't have to do this."

"Why me? Why do you have to do this to me?"

"Stop struggling."

"Go ahead, I like it when they try to fight."

"No, no, no. You're not allowed to pass out yet. We haven't even gotten to the real fun, yet."

"Just let me go and I won't tell anyone, I promise."

"Do you want me to tell you what I'm going to do to you?"

"I don't understand why you're doing this."

"I'll do whatever you say, but please just let me go."

"You won’t break me!"

"You were foolish to think you could escape me. Now you've only made it worse for yourself."

"Kill me. Please, just kill me."

"Oh, stop crying. Don't make me gag you."

"Are you going to cooperate now, or do you need more convincing?"

"Have mercy!"

"If I get out of this I'll kill you."

"Hurt me all you want, I won't give in!"

"I’m not afraid of you."

"I would say this is going to hurt me more than its going to hurt you, but that would be a lie."

"They aren’t even going to be able to recognize your body when I’m through."

Harsh / Grim Starter Sentences:

"You’re too pretty to drink."

"I’ll give you fifty bucks for the rest of that bottle."

"God, what have you been drinking?!"

"You got into a fight, didn’t you."

"I told you! No more fights with strangers!

"Look at me when I’m talking to you, maggot."

"Look at you. Pathetic."

"I wish we’d never met."

"Sometimes I swear I want to snap your fucking neck."

"You need to stop running."

"You were drunk last night. You said some things."

"Have the rest of the bottle. You need it more than I do."

"Got a light? God, I need a smoke."

"How’d you get those bruises?"

"Fucking coward. You wouldn’t survive a day in my shoes."

  D’rorah considered the question for a few silent beats.  ”Well, the learning never stops, of course.  I learn new things all the time.”

"I think you will feel prepared to strike out on your own in two or so years."  D’rorah shrugged.  "Of course, you might also decide to stay with me longer for more advanced studies.  Or you may decide to leave sooner.  I have spent lifetimes scouring the worlds for knowledge.  It takes as long as you wish."

She seated herself in a comfortable chair.  ”When it is time to seek out your own path for knowledge, you will know.”  D’rorah suspected she would know as well, but with a pupil as studious as Stella, she didn’t feel compelled to hold the reins too tightly.

[stellxpulverem-blog]

It made sense, the idea that you're always learning. She had just never thought of it that way. And more advanced studies? Where on Earth would she find them? Drorah had been the only person she'd known in years who knew the slightest thing about what the star was going through. So who else could help her? Rubbing her fingers, Estella nodded slowly. "What other things could I learn? With light I mean..."

[mxjongup-blog]

  Jongup gives a small nod of the head, pressing his lips together as he stared at place where the light was once glowing. You sure didn’t look dangerous from what he could see and nor did the light now that it was gone— it just never hurt to be careful is all, that’s what he’s learned from his experience.

"Well, glad to see it’s not anything dangerous then.."

His shoulders shrug slightly as he stuffs his hands in his pockets, shivering slightly from the cold. It was late after all and it was below freezing out here but didn’t really stop him from mindlessly wandering around at night to clear his head. He was simply passing through the empty park when the glowing light from before caught his attention. One thing can easily been seen though was he was not shocked nor surprised by seeing the magic itself, in fact he looked quite indifferent about it as if it were as normal to him as breathing.

[stellxpulverem-blog]

The strangers reaction was certainly curious. Estella had been told most, if not all, humans wouldn't react well to the fact that she had powers. The past proved that time and time again. But this shivering man didn't seem to notice, or care, that she was otherworldly. Feeling a breeze which only emphasized how cold it actually was outside, Estella decided to take some action. "Would you like to warm up? Unless you have somewhere to go, of course." Wandering out here seemed something that someone would do with nothing else waiting for them. Part of the reason why she asked.

  Zia gave a short, humorless laugh. Now that he thought about it, he was probably a lot like the dog in the legend. Aside from the fact he could turn into an actual dog, he was a bit lonely. He was separated from the only family he had once he was bitten, due to a hunter driving him out of town. Not to mention being hunted in general didn’t allow for much permanence, be it a home or any sort of relationship

Raising his eyes to Estella’s, he gave her a soft smile. “Well, I may not have howled at the stars myself, but I would love your company Estella. A star as bright as you would keep some of the loneliness at bay.”

[stellxpulverem-blog]

It had been a while since Estella had a companion. For some time, she only had her teacher, but other duties brought her away from the star. Other realms. And bringing Estella around would only prove a distraction, from the time they had tried before. So it was best for her to stay behind on Earth and continue searching for her purpose. Maybe it was presenting itself now. Smiling, Estella nodded, "If you will have me, I'd be happy to keep your company."

[baebyfire]

  He was relieved when people he met weren’t familiar with magical things he’d mention, if only for the fact that it lessened the likelihood of the environment finding magic commonplace. The less accustomed to enchantments a location was, the safer it made him feel. He was glad she didn’t call him a lunatic either, as what had happened when he first tried to talk about it to people back in London.

     ❝The world I came from has a lot of      magic. I didn’t like it. From what I’d      learned, magic always comes with a      price… and the price isn’t usually      worth the outcome.❞

He sighed, remembering his father who had abandoned him for the sake of power and sorcery.

     ❝It depends. I wanted to go to a      place where I could be safe. I’ve     been wandering the realms alone     but so far everywhere I go, trouble     seems to follow. It’s been tough…❞

[stellxpulverem-blog]

Other worlds... it was a concept that she found hard to comprehend. Having only ever watched this one from the sky, the thought of there being other planets or universes, she became intrigued. However, the boy didn't seem to want to mention anything about his. Or if he did, his aura became heavy, typically likened to a heavy heart. There was no need to push just now. "It's the law of nature. It loves balance, therefore if you take something, you must find a way to give back." Whenever the star picked her herbs, she made sure to plant some more that way she was giving as much as she was taking away. "Just be safe? No matter where you are?"

You look lost.

Maybe it was the somewhat permanent worry line that engraved itself on Estella's forehead that made most people tell her this, when in fact, she wasn't at all. Well... normally. This particular situation, she actually was. And it was a little embarrassing. "A lot of people tell me that. You wouldn't be able to help me, would you?"

He looked down quickly to see her trying to fit in his sweater with him. “You know this will not work my dear.”

It had looked large enough that it would, but Estella was quickly figuring out he was right. This really wouldn't work. Especially when it came to the arms, how was she supposed to do that? So the star wriggled out of the sweater with an embarrassed smile and shrugged. "Worth a try."

[mxjongup-blog]

  Jongup was no stranger to magic, he’s seen it many times before, though he must say he was a bit surprised seeing it so out in the open like this. All those he’s known who wielded magic of any kind usually kept that power very well hidden.

"Nothing dangerous..?"

He questioned, raising an eyebrow feeling a tad bit flustered that he got caught staring at what the other was doing. He really didn’t mean to, but hey, a glowing ball of light was kind of hard to ignore.

"You sure about that..?"

[stellxpulverem-blog]

Estella found it hard to practice anywhere private and for all intents and purposes, the small park had been vacated due to the cold. So she figured it was private enough. Clearly, that wasn't so. Giving a soft smile, she nodded, letting the light slowly disappear just like she was taught. "I'm positive." Not that it couldn't be used for something dangerous, but none of that had been learned just yet. And the star really didn't have any intention of doing so.

  So focused on her teaching, D’rorah had failed to notice her pupil’s fatigue and the cracking along her fingertips.  It had been so long since she had first begun… it was easy to forget her new student would not have nearly the stamina she’d built over the centuries.

"Of course we can."  She took Stella’s hands between her own and whispered a quiet spell of healing, soothing away the the bleeding cracks.

"We want to work hard," she said, "but I have no desire to run you into the ground.  There are plenty of other people in the worlds who make harm their domain.”  D’rorah withdrew her hands and clasped them behind her back.  ”You are doing well so far.”  It was often the luck of the draw taking on a new student.  She didn’t always know what she was getting herself into, but this foray into education was going well enough. She was trying to avoid the trap she so often fell into of acting the part of mother to her students. It was difficult sometimes, but she was managing.

[stellxpulverem-blog]

Nothing phased the star as she realized she had been bleeding. It did hurt, but they were healed before she could really say anything. Then, it looked like nothing had happened. Her body, however was more than fatigued. Estella almost collapsed into a nearby chair. "Of course, there's no other way to work..." she could remember when she'd stay up for days testing plants and herbs so they became healing potions instead of poisons. It was a long and painstaking process.  Keeping her fingers raised, Estella found herself staring at them, remembering the small globe of light that had been held not moments before. "How long will it take?"

[stellxpulverem-blog]

"No it's not a con. The herbs actually work, I've been perfecting them for years." A couple thousand actually, but no one needs to know that.
