Re: Part 62d - Desperately seeking Sephiroth
Berd elicited her first chuckle in many dreary years. Devlin witnessed her first laughter out in the rain. And now Chance receives a full body laugh, complete with flaring eyes in fake fear for Doom's harbinger. “I feel like Dorothy. Stay away from my little bird!”
She had watched Chance change into pajamas at the inn, but it's still a sight to behold with an unfelt breeze tugging at his clothing and the guitar coming and going. Another shape-shifter? Is there no end to them in this group? Trista might be a touch confused as to where Chance derives his power, not that it matters much to her. Power is power.
Suddenly he's there again, dressed much as Trista is dressed. The protected guitar in hand reminds her of another from long ago. To her surprise, she can remember without the old familiar pain shrouding her heart.
Thank you, Berd and Devlin. A silent thought for herself only.
At the mention of Luke, Trista's eyes glance around as if the man might have appeared, but she sees nobody. Her eyes pull back to Chance at his touch. She does not flinch, but feels the touch intensely, not having had much human contact except for Devlin in quite some time. His disarming smile puts her at ease, “Why do I get the feeling you can charm your way through any situation, Chance?”
Her eyes take in the guitar which she knows wasn't there a moment ago. Wasn't it in a case? Shifting slightly to better see the dark guitar, Trista's eyes slowly wander over the soft curves and glinting strings, warm memories flooding her senses. Her fingers reach out for the blue rose with intricate markings but stop before she intrudes on Chance's space.
Dropping her hand again, she looks up with a small smile curving her lips, “It's beautiful. I like guitar music, so I look forward to it.”
A sweet, vibrant sound carries on the breeze and Trista watches as the little bird sings and hunts for a beetle, bringing it to eat on her shoulder. Though mildly disturbed, she leaves the bird to do as he will, taking in his lengthy tale sent by Devlin.
Looking at Chance, she can see the man understands the bird, too. Good, that will simplify things.
Concentrating, she nods when Ämi finishes. “Chance will likely be able to tell you more, for I'm not sure I got everything considering how new this threat was to me then. But there was a sword...” Trista speaks of the sword, the brothers, and Merideth communing with the weapon though Trista is unsure if the woman gleaned anything from her magics.
Serious eyes fall on Chance, “What do you think?”
