The Chinal Pearl Inn part 8

[BeautifulTrauma]

He laughed, "You never know, stranger things have happened, I could make a good tent with it." he winked, "It would only have one poll, though." he mused.

he watched her joy at receiving FD's message and grinned. "He's a good guy," he stage whispered to BT pretending FD couldn't hear him even though he purposefully was loud enough that he could.

She laughed heartily.

“You’re too much, sometimes; Silly Glad.”

Her laughter turned cacophonous at the mentioning of one pole. She quickly covered her mouth to muffle her amusement.

When she realized what Glad had said about FD her cheeks immediately flared hotter, spreading across her nose, and traveled all the way to her ears. As if by some strange modification to reality, she glanced around to see if there were any cameras, and wondered if it was actually possible to break the fourth wall. She glanced back at FD and knowingly nodded at Glad’s assessment of him, biting her lip.

“I know,” she quietly mused to herself.

Catching his eye was not difficult. He had been watching her read it with a sly, tilted little grin. Then when she lit up and mouthed her gratitude and clutched the paper he brightened visibly and nodded his head; smiling.

Watching her efforts to refold the paper and the concentration made him perk a brow. Then came that tongue poking out from between her lip and he silently chuckled to himself, shaking his head in amusement.

She finally figured out how to fold it back into an airplane, and tucked it gently into the only pocket that was constructed with her night dress. She looked up again to see FD watching her; her smile grew and she stuck her tongue out at him, coyly.

and in other news I'm like 3 hours late to bed, so g'night y'all

With the mention of his departure she politely waved.

"G'night! See you tomorrow, Glad; I hope you sleep well!" she called after him as he vanished into the confines of the CPI.

A moment of stillness lingered as she pondered quietly in her chair. She stood, stretching her legs, which evolved into a fully body stretch; arms reached towards the heavens. Her eyes fell back to FD and she sauntered over to him, reaching down towards his hand, which she'd been wanting to hold again. She climbed onto the armrest as she did, resting the back of his hand on her thigh as she tightly held his palm.

"What's on your mind, tonight, FD?"

 

[sharingfantasies]

Have to go for a bit, may return, not sure. Take care, all.

"I hope you have a lovely evening; take care, darling!"

 

[Uggg]

Who is still here?

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

She blinks and awkwardly raises her hand.

"Present and accounted for."

"What's on your mind, tonight, FD?"

He smiles as she manages to get the plane folded, then offers a playful wink

"look magic! You made it disappear!"

Looking to Glad he gave him a Salute.

"Night man!"

Then watching the full body stretch and the saunter with appreciation he suddenly found himself with lovely company. She took his hand, he didn't object. Squeezing the hand softly.

"Hmmm there were a lot of things on my mind, but for some reason, they are all gone now. I don't know why."

Looking up at her he winked playfully.

Who is still here?

Raising his free hand in response

Present!

 

[Uggg]

She blinks and awkwardly raises her hand.

"Present and accounted for."

Oh hey BT, just us then I guess.

So you can do all kinds of spelling everything correctly and putting punctuation in the right places huh? You ever do any editing?

Hiya FD,

You have been very active in here these last three days or so. I don't remember seeing so much of you since way back when I very first started visiting the inn

Do you have stories published in lit as well as SRPs or do you just write in the forums?

Uggg

Uggg

Hello!

Yeah, I am just getting my feet back under me. I am starting to get caught up with my stories too.

I only have stories posted in the forums. I have not written any self-published stories. I am writing a novel on my own though.

She giggled at the mention of magic; maybe she’d tell him about that one day.

She nodded slowly as he revealed having tons of things on his mind; her eyes wandered over his features again, as if she were reappraising what she had already noticed with a more fervent appreciation. Her gaze then drifted down to their hands; she moved her fingertips slowly over his palm to reach for an interlacing mechanism between them. Turning his hand slowly she made notes of the way his hand looked and felt in hers.

His sudden movement to raise his hand startled her, and she only then realized that she was being spoken to by Uggg.

She shook herself out of her trance and smiled.

"Editing? Yeah." She giggled. "I was a peer editor and mentor in college; I've been tossing up the idea of going into a professional setting and using my skills to help others, especially if I can't manage to get a publisher on board with my own novels. Editing and Publishing seems to be right up my alley." She reached her free hand up to rub her bottom lip. "Then again, I kind of want to be a freelance content creator; I like the idea of working in my own time, from the safety of my home, but Freelancers don't really get paid all that well."

Cool, yea me too!

Lots of work eh?

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with mine yet. I've got one finished (but needing final editing) and one three 3/4 written.

The finished one was my first and I was learning as I went so its not as good as the second will be.

Uggg

He watched her observe him again and simply smiled. He stayed still and let her drink in her fill. As she let her fingers drag over his palm he let his eyes close, soaking in the touch with a soft sigh. She could see his shoulders and body relax, tension leaving his body.

Yah -that would be too much like work for me, writing content for blogs or what not. Yucky not fun. Want to be able to do what ever my brain bubbles demand. Otherwise I might get creative constipation, could even develop into serious writers blockage

Uggg

"Oh, a ton. I am still working on my Pantheon. Having to create a whole freaking world is a pain in the butt."

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

"Oh, a ton. I am still working on my Pantheon. Having to create a whole freaking world is a pain in the butt."

"Oh, Gods, what?!?!! No... You're writing a novel with a brand new world *and* you're making a new Pantheon?!?! I'd like the key to my brain that you obviously absconded with!!!"

She fell into another fit of giggles. It was to the point that their similarities were becoming too eerie for her to comprehend. More laughter.

"I mean, if it was a blog that meant something to me, perhaps it would be more appealing; it seems like the internet is wrought with a lot of click-bait-y silliness, though. I wouldn't want to fall down that rabbit hole, personally." She giggled at the metaphor relating to writer's block. "But, at least, for now, my goal is to finish my Master's then maybe move to Seattle and get a job at Wizards of the Coast; it's not likely to happen, I don't suppose, but it's a dream that's motivating me to finish school."

 

[Uggg]

Well, I've just caught up on my SRP posts with the one I owed to Glad and replied to the last PM I'm likely to get today so that's all my duties cleared.

I'd normally have everything done by the time I finished work but work is busy at the moment so I'm having to use my own time to meet obligations.

*sigh*

Good thing I love it

Looks at her. Really looks at her.

"This is starting to get spooky. Ya know that?"

 

[Uggg]

Some poems completed just to put the cherry on the cake

Well that's me for the night- I'ma gonna go suck ona gin bottle in bed.

[BritSal]

Had a call from a very ‘loved up’ Robyn to say she’s on her way to the airport. Wants to come back to barracks to get some rest. Lol

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

"This is starting to get spooky. Ya know that?"

Her laughter intensified as she threw her head back and tittered endlessly. She playfully slapped his chest with her free hand and shook her head.

“You’re telling me,” she managed to say, after quieting her residual giggles; she had to wipe a couple tears out of the corner of her eyes. “What’s going on??? In what parallel universe is such a thing possible?!”

“Awe, g’night Uggg!!! I hope you sleep well,” she calls after him.

Hah! Imagine that. Coming back to her bunk for rest. She must have been put through her paces.

 

[BritSal]

Robyn is back in England, said she wants to go straight to bed when she gets here. I thought she’s spent enough time in bed already this week! But maybe she needs to sleep! Lol.

Sounds like Robyn had a enjoyable time in Paris, wonders hoe much she saw of the city of lights ish

Sal Glad to hear that you got your badges. I have a tender spot in my heart for PWUK.

It is hard to write as I am in significant shall we say discomforts. Best wishes to all who call the Inn home.
