"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man."

-Mark Twain

Who: Ownah and Derek
Where: Derek's room
When: 11:12 on day 12, month 3, turn 4 of the 7th Pass.
What: It's been an age since Ownah stopped by to see Derek. Having a work related excuse she does so and the two chat in a friendly sort of manner about current events.

( I want him to pay for what he did ta me. )

Who: Ownah and Y'sur
Where: Five Mines Hold
When: 12:53 on day 4, month 3, turn 4 of the 7th Pass.
What: Amidst turmoil and such two friends share tea and muffins. It is nice. But, then again, how could it not be with Ownah around. Friendships are discussed as well as plans for the future and the general state of things.

( Derek and J'lor wouldn't ever do nothing bad. )

Who: Owhan and Y'sur
Where: Five Mines Hold
When: Morning on day 17, month 2, turn 4 of the 7th Pass.

Who: Ownah and Lucian
Where: Lucian's room
When: Late afternoon on day 6, month 1, turn 4 of the 7th Pass.
What: Ownah delivers fresh bedding to the hold's harper. They have a little conversation that relates to nothing at all. There is no ulterior motive. Nor is there any indication that she is any good at subterfuge and sneakiness. She is good at being played. That is something.

( What's a lord do all day anyway? )

Conversations with others often lead to internal conversations with oneself. Witness here then what certain conversations leave a certain girl deciding.
<3 Derek for helping me decide exactly the whys of this and how he evilly led a good girl to this path even if we boo the RL that keeps him from RP.

This vignette takes place shortly after the beginning of the new turn.


( It was all habit and muscle memory. )

More of the same! Only different. :) Hey, it's not fair to not check out Ownah too.

Again, pretty awesomely accurate.
Come on! Everyone do it!

( Greek Mythology Personality Test )

Ok, it sort of fits two prompts so I call it Last Time and Object. :)

Ownah considers her past and her future. Sort of.

( It's not for the past any more. )

"You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless. You gotta hope even more, and cover your ears and go 'bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla!'"
- Fry, Godfellas

Clear enough I think it needs no introduction.

( So, she clung to her hope when reason whispered that it was unwise. )

My brain kicked into Ownah mode it seems. So, I present something else. A view from the galleries.

( No one could be that friendly. That happy. )

I combine writing prompts #4 and #13. I have been working on this forever it seems like. :) Still, it is a peek back at married life for Ownah.
And the one night that could have changed things entirely. Instead of just helping plant a little teeny tiny seed.

( This time was different. )

Who: Ownah and Sedgewick
Where: Outside Five Mines Hold
When: Daytime on day 2, month 12, turn 3 of the 7th Pass.

Where: Dorm common room
When: 12:47 on day 6, month 11, turn 3 of the 7th Pass.

( He's a nice enough guy too. )

As promised, Ownah sits down and writes a letter to her not overly bright, but complacent husband.
Written about day 28, month 10, turn 3.

Who: Ownah and Derek
Where: Derek's room
When: 11:21 on day 26, month 10, turn 3 of the 7th Pass.
What: Ownah appears to collect laundry from the once leader of the exiles. What she gets, instead, is questioned. To say she might be in over her head is something of an understatement. But everyone wants something.

Where: Open pit at Five Mines Hold
When: Daytime on day 25, month 10, turn 3 of the 7th Pass.
What: Ownah sits outside tending to her work for the day. Lucian happens along and the two of them chat about sledding, interesting times, and trouble. Ownah, at least, has definitely changed since their last meeting and it makes for a more interesting sort of talk. For her at least. So, it earns the fierce puppy icon!

( Yer all dirty. )

Who: Ownah and J'lor
Where: J'lor's weyr
When: Following dinner on on day 20, month 10, turn 3 of the 7th Pass.
What: Having been laying low for a bit, Ownah comes out to say hello once more. They talk of gloves and a sled and a decision is very nearly made regarding a certain husband.

Who: Ownah and J'lor
When: 17:46 on day 20, month 9, turn 3 of the 7th Pass.
Where: Outside Five Mines Hold
What: Having promised to find a sledding hill, Ownah has sought out just such a place. After dinner she lures J'lor out into the wilderness to show it to him. While there they might have done what is commonly called 'bonding.'

( Last one to tha top is a rotten apple! )

Puppy finally sleeping. Peace reigns in the household. So, I write.

I think this works with the original share a nightmare thing that started this whole thing as well as the prompt about family.

( Disapproval )
