Lily
How the invitation would find
So, around 9 pm two night later, Lily had some herbal tea, a light fire, lots of candles lit, and some scratch parchment to take notes on. The redhead took her promise seriously and is ready for the younger man’s story - or whatever he was willing to tell her. Whatever she could… manage to put into some kind of song. It’s exciting! The first time she’s ever seriously tried to write a song! And we’re not talking about little childhood ditties or tunes in the bath - but a proper ode or ballad or something. With multiple verses. She munches on a slightly sweetened oat cake while she waits, staring into the fire and wondering if he’ll show. women are like tricks by slight of hand which to admire, we should not understand |

Ianto Eeesh, the Hollowed Ground. Ianto had found the invitation, in that weird and wonderful way of his; it had found its way out from beneath the rock and fluttering through the window of his wagon, in fact. And having been given the green light from his godmother, his personal feelings on the place didn't matter a stitch. So it was in the balmy heat of the night that he found himself padding on four paws through the domilies, golden eyes sharp, ears swivelling at every sound as he found the house in the description. Prowling up to the doorstep, he shifted back onto two legs and swept out his coat, brushing a hand through the tousled copper of his hair and reaching out to knock at the door. He supposed he should be thankful, really - at least he was getting to know more than the Fae, these days.

Ianto Lily opened her door to him as though she were a fellow performer, and her winning smile was contagious. Granted, Ianto's was a little less refined, a little more roguish, but he was put somewhat at ease already. Being in the presence who knew as well as he did how important it was to put on a show, so to speak... well, it went a long way in making him feel at home. "Thanks for inviting me," he said, offering Lily a polite smile. "Tea and oatcakes will be more than fine, believe me. I... well, forgive me if this is too forward, but your home is enormous." So saying, he arched an eyebrow around at the place, taking a few steps forward and seeing the seats available, but still not seeming able to choose any one of them.

Ianto "The Church of... Safrin...?" Ianto raised an eyebrow, unsure what to make of that and tilting his head. Surely Remi had mentioned such a thing once... but he simply couldn't remember. The Hollowed Grounds was so new, it was hardly a wonder that he got scrambled sometimes. "Well, with any luck you can make the space into exactly what you want. The acoustics are wonderful." Tipping her a wink - for what more could one want with song writing? - Ianto happily sat in the offered seat, accepting the tea with a nod of gratitude. Ah, but then they were straight into it, the fox sipping at his tea and smiling sheepishly. "Alas, it is not actually a song for myself," he said slowly. "Might you write something for someone close to me? Her name is Arduinna, and her story is incredible."

Ianto Gazing into his tea with blue eyes suddenly faraway, Ianto took a moment to consider the tale he would turn into a song with Lily's help. Eventually a small smile flickered across his face, and he sipped at the drink before continuing. "Arduinna is wild fae," he explained. "She is almost as old as the barrier that surrounded these Hollowed Grounds. She belongs to no tribe - neither the Sidhe Village nor the Sea of Branches lay claim to her. She is of the woods themselves, and the Greatwood adores her." Letting out a slow sigh, he relaxed back into his chair. "Her hair is the colour of fire, like yours. And her eyes are like molten gold. She creates things I have never heard of, never believed could exist, and she has the sweetest voice in the forest."

Ianto In love, whilst not correct in the more traditional term, might not be all that far off. Indebted, certainly, and bound. Ianto glanced up as Lily spoke, not realising he had drifted off somewhat and smiling apologetically. "Of course," he murmured, nodding and taking another sip of his tea before he continued Arduinna's tale. "They say that those who love the forest enough might pray at one of its shrines, and she will appear." Not a goddess in a traditional sense, but a goddess of the woods nonetheless. "She is fierce and proud, but also gentle and forgiving. She is able to heal wounds and soothe fevers." And she could hurt just as often as she could help, but he didn't mention that part to Lily.

Ianto Waiting enough between words to allow Lily to write them down, Ianto continued to nurse his cup of tea in his hands. When she asked her next question, however, it took him quite by surprise. "You know," he said slowly, "I don't have any idea, actually." There were parts of his godmother that were still steeped in so much mystery that he didn't know where those breadcrumb trails went, and he wasn't brave enough to ask or otherwise try to find out. "She simply... is. Or that's how it seemed to me. Obviously she must have come from somewhere, but... I don't know if she is a child of the Sidhe Village, or the Sea of Branches..." he shrugged his shoulders. "The other Fae hold a great respect for her, regardless of where they come from. Even Delah, the war chief, does not give an order to Arduinna."

Ianto "Play your cards right, and you will," Ianto assured Lily with a polite dip of his head. In reality he hoped that it never happened; Lily seemed very nice, and it would always be better that his godmother did not get her manipulative claws into anyone else. Still, he was there to fulfil a duty, a debt, and so he listened to her last question as he finished his tea, setting the cup down on the side. "She guards the Greatwood and its creatures," he said slowly. "I can't pick out a single deed myself, but I'm sure the Fae tell stories aplenty about her. Perhaps you'll hear rumours before your song is finished." He grinned, the gold flashing in his teeth. "Do you think you have enough?" | ||||||
