ISRA ; d a n c i n g in the d a r k Just like always, she cannot stop it. Cannot stop the way mistrust constricts her heart, throwing up those barriers that she needs. It is no less real to her than it ever is, and Isra doubts it ever will be. But she can fake it, and that can be good enough sometimes. And she watches. Isra sees things. She sees the way those leaping flames flicker, more softly, not as if they are lunging out to devour her. She hears the sweetness in the voice, and while she is not swayed by it, she files it away, for later comparison. She sees the trust that lets the other mare have a lion on her back (albeit with a slight flinch on Isra’s part), wishing for a moment she could have that too. Well, not really. Isra’s never been much for large carnivores. But then, not many horses are. Hypatia. Isra has never been much for names, either. This name, though, fuels something, a little bright spark inside her as Hypatia speaks. It feels silly to say she hopes, for hope is not something Isra is accustomed to. And the words make sense. Isra is comforted by this, and frightened by it. She longs, sometimes, for others to understand her. To know her. But that is buried deep inside her very soul, and Hypatia takes it so easily. What if she does not like what she sees? Another try. She fully relaxes now, stance open and friendly, forcing a glimmer of gratitude and placidity into her eyes. Of course, this may not work for Hypatia; but it’s what Isra does. “Hello, Kail,” she says lightly, “and hello Hypatia, then.” She hesitates for a moment, then forges on. “Thank you. I guess I’m just not used to—that. But it’s always that way with a new place, isn’t it? I should get accustomed fairly quickly, I hope.” She looks up and skirts Hypatia’s eyes as Hypatia watches her, though she is still vigilant. The silence is comforting, in a way. An oasis! Isra becomes suddenly aware of the way the dry desert dust coats her tongue, and the dryness of her mouth. “That would be lovely, thank you,” she replies graciously. 9 Message Thread: i'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door ; thread - OC HYPATIA , THE NAPHTHA January 24, 2009, 2:32 pm Your body's cold, but girl we're getting so warm ; re: aian - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 2:34 pm And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside ; re: peyote - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 2:34 pm Tonight you're falling in love ; re: alerion - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 2:35 pm This feeling's tearing me up ; re: sterling - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 2:36 pm Now if she does it like this, will you do it like that? ; isra - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 2:44 pm i wouldn't be too sure about that - Isra January 24, 2009, 4:04 pm i'll prove to you it's good ; - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 4:15 pm i know there's no such thing as safety - Isra January 25, 2009, 6:43 pm Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, uh shake it ; phishatriggah - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 3:12 pm Your lips tremble but your eyes are in a straight stare ; strandwolf - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 3:35 pm We're on the bed but your clothes are laying right there ; cyan - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 3:54 pm And I was thinking of places that I could hide ; choke - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 4:07 pm I saw you dancing and I couldn't get you off my mind ; indria - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 4:49 pm I could tell that you could tell that I was takin' my time ; amelia - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 6:26 pm I was thinking of ways that you would stay and be mine ; memphis - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 7:28 pm Your body's shaking, turn me on, so I can turn off the lights ; casper/fantome - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 7:29 pm Now if she touches like this, will you touch her right back? ; fantome - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 7:30 pm Now if she moves like this, will you move her like that? ; trigger/amelia - HYPATIA January 24, 2009, 7:31 pm « Back to thread What Do You Have To Say?
