Some Things Never Change [Keara]

[Peter Parkman]

OOC: Backdated to January 13th; Telepathically linked conversation between Keara Aithne and Peter Parkman.

<Keara Aithne> Peter? Hear me you can yes? Think your replies you may. If hearing me you are.

<Peter Parkman> Yes! I can hear you. How are you?!

<Keara Aithne> Not well. Not happy. Very unhappy I am. And something wrong with Enver is. Himself he is not. Acting right he is not. Makes little sense he does. Have you this noticed?

<Peter Parkman> We haven't been able to find Enver. I'm not sure how he's acting. What did he do?

<Keara Aithne> Talking nonsense he is. Wants he does for Nakia and I now to leave. Leave we cannot. Knows this he does. And yet says it he does. Upsetting me he has been.

<Peter Parkman> It's not logical, no. I'm not sure I care too much about Nakia, but I'll talk to you as long as you need me to. To come back safe.

<Keara Aithne> Nakia quite supportive of me has been. Though used to Enver and I she is not. As know you do what like we are. And… *sounds guilty when she continues to speak* attacked him earlier I did. Did it I should not have. But take back my actions I cannot.

<Peter Parkman> Nakia attacked Jersey for no reason, except that she chose to marry me. I don't trust her. I won't ever trust her. Why would you attack him? Why is it that attacking seems to be the only thing anyone is capable of doing?

<Keara Aithne> Enver and I argue do. Know that you do. Passionate we are. But then left me he did. Knows he does for that not to do. But himself he was not. Here he came and talking wrong he was. My Enver he is not. Upsets me that does. Need him I do. His support. His strength. And strange he acting is. Swiped at him I did. Forgot I did that I no form had. But left me after he ought not have.

<Peter Parkman> What was he saying that was so wrong?

<Keara Aithne> Speaking nonsense. Telling me to leave. Teasing me. How could he that to me do? *sounds sad* Knows he does that this place frightening to me is. And comforts me he does not. Upsets me he does. Something wrong with him is. Know I do not what it is.

<Peter Parkman> Teasing you? In an unkind way? I'm sure he misses you as much as you miss him. Knowing you two - I don't think he'd do anything to seriously hurt you. Mentally. Emotionally. Was he trying to distract you? Make you feel anger instead of fear? Maybe that was his method...

<Keara Aithne> Enver that way is not. So much thought into our conversation he put not. Though worked that tactic might have. Worried now I am more for him, than for myself. Think you do that he missing me is? *sounds unsure*That true cannot be, else leave me he would not.

<Peter Parkman> I don't think he's missing. Jersey doesn't think so - she saw him just recently. I must have missed him. He's Enver. Of course he misses you. Maybe he's angry at himself, because you died and he didn't. He failed to save you.

<Keara Aithne> Failed me he did not. Failed myself I did. Know I do that he a fighter is not. Not really. No. Think that he cannot. That silly is. Very silly. Though…. He my silly boy is. So… perhaps. Miss him I do. Argued we did. That much true is. But love him I do. Always love him. Changed that has not. Knows that he does. Yes?

<Peter Parkman> I don't know, Keara. I haven't talked to him in... a long time. I'm sure that he does. You've been married too long for him not to know that.

<Keara Aithne> Married so long we have not been. Time so little to us now does mean. Miss him though I do. My Enver miss I do. Not the man that visited me did. The man that attacked I did. That my husband was not.

<Peter Parkman> Of course it was. Who else could it have been?

<Keara Aithne> Seen him like that before I have not. Know My Enver I do. Recognised him of late I have not. Since died I did. Strange he being is.

<Peter Parkman> Grief affects people in different ways. I don't think I'd be myself if they had managed to kill Jersey. But I can look at it logically. You will be back.

<Keara Aithne> Oh yes. If able I am for home to return. Return I shall. Keep trying I do. All the time. Power have I do for that to do, but possible now it is not. Wish I do for home to be. Desire it greatly I do. Miss you all I do. Miss Jamie too I do. Serge says that he care of Jamie and the puppies taking is. Enver… Enver so responsible is being not. Hope I do that he nothing foolish does.

<Peter Parkman> I can keep an eye out for him, if you want me to. For... Jamie and the puppies, too. I don't think I'm cut out for caring for humans but you know I can at least manage the puppies. That's easy. I'd happily do that. Who is Serge?

<Keara Aithne> My thrall. Seen him around you likely have. Unobtrusive he is. And like that I would Peter. Very much. A comfort to me it would be for to know that you there for Jamie and the puppies also are. Everyone else well is? You well are?

<Peter Parkman> ...everyone else? I'm well. I am not sick, anyway. I'm happy, even if it feels like the world doesn't want me - us - to be. Jersey is upset about both you and Nakia, but she has been keeping in touch. With you both, I think. She's doing as well as can be expected.

<Keara Aithne> Want you happy I do. Both of you. All of you. Jersey a lovely girl is. Supportive. Kind. Have you Lorde seen? Perhaps spoken with her I should have. Perhaps Enver with her has been. That possible is. Though… unlikely. Have you Crash in the Asylum seen. Enver’s thrall?

<Peter Parkman> No, I haven't seen Crash. And Lorde? I... have I met Lorde before? I don't think I've met Lorde. I don't know who Lorde is. Does he have any other place he likes to go?

<Keara Aithne> Lorde Enver’s daughter is. If met her you had, remember her you would. *is quiet for a moment* Places. Places. Too many places own we do. In any of them be he could. Though… Perhaps the theatre a good place to start would be. His businesses important are. The Lady. His boat. There he could be also. Or… No… Enver so silly is not. Perhaps. Perhaps well. *sighs* There a chance is that he in a bar is.

<Peter Parkman> In... okay. I can try. Jersey might have to help. I can't cross water. Anymore. I don't know why. I just can't, so if I go looking, the area might be limited. But Jersey will help. I know Jersey can help.

<Keara Aithne> Thank you Peter. Grateful I am for you in our lives to have. Like Jersey, so kind you are. Have you yet a date for your wedding set. Need I do for upon something else to think and that a worthy distraction is. Weddings wonderful are.

[Keara Aithne]

<Peter Parkman> I... no. We talked about it. And then Nakia took Jersey's arm and she argued with her sire. It kind of... it was a distraction. I didn't talk about the wedding. I didn't know if it would upset her. And then you died. It doesn't seem like the right time to talk about it.

<Keara Aithne> Oh no. Wait not Peter. Timing perfect cannot always be. Important it is for your plans to make. Know you do the type of wedding that desire you do? As Enver and I married three times have been; hand fasting, by human law and by eternal binding. Plan you likely do for one of these to undertake?

<Peter Parkman> I planned for it to be eternal binding and by human law. I was all wrong without her. You saw it. You tried to get me out of it but it didn't work. It only worked when she came back to me. She said the same. It doesn't make sense for us to ever be apart.

<Keara Aithne> That very… sad and romantic sounds. Though know I do how you feel. Not long without your father been I have and hurt I do. Even though here he has been. Even though in his mind I have been. The same it is not. But for less of him to have. Survive that I could not. No-one me from that grief could bring. That loss… It unthinkable is.

<Peter Parkman> It is. I have lost someone I loved before, and I think I handled the grief in the same way I did when I lost Jersey. At this moment I wouldn't be anything other than what I am. She died when we were apart. But she came back. She's here with me now. If we weren't what we are, I'd have lost her for good. You haven't lost Enver. You'll be back. You'll be fine. You and he will be fine. I want you both at our wedding.

<Keara Aithne> Oh yes. Agree with that I can. Especially now. Though before quite wrong that was. No way back there was. If that still true was, then here I would not be. Here our family would not be. Enver died did too. Before we dating were. I think. Though perhaps wrong in that I am. But died he did, when things new for us were. Better things now are. Now that escape this realm we can. And like that I would.

<Peter Parkman> Soon. How long do you think it will be before you can get out?

<Keara Aithne> Hoping I am for within a week home to be. Though know I do not if that possible is. This the first time is, that here of my own free will I am not, since first died I did. If here two centuries I am. Quite upset I shall be. No. Nox that to me again would not do. No. Not right. Cannot be right. Enver have now I do. And Jamie. And you. And my family. Needed now I am. Cruel that would be for me here

<Peter Parkman> ... I don't think we would allow you to be stuck int here for two centuries, Keara. If you aren't out soon we'll think of ways to force it. Someone can come and get you. Right? Enver can visit, so he can come and get you. You are needed.

<Keara Aithne> Visit he can. Removing me quite difficult might be. My powers keep trying I shall. The moment that I free am. Home I shall be. Care I do not if naked I return. Care I do not who me shall see. Home I shall be. Have to be. Here belong I do not. Cannot stay. No. No, no, no, no, no. Home coming I definitely am. So soon as it possible is. Nakia too. Home we both shall be. Then Enver summoned can be. Matters not whereto goes he does. Hide from me he cannot. Then the reasons for his silliness know I shall.

<Peter Parkman> I'm sure if you come home naked in front of all of us, and then summon Enver, you'll know he's himself when he tries to kill all of us just for looking. I'm not sure that's a smart idea. I think you should put some clothes on when you come back. But I'd also prefer you don't bring Nakia back to the Asylum. I'm still terrified she means to kill Jersey.

<Keara Aithne> *sounds amused* Bring her with me I cannot. Leave alone she must. We all must. And no choice have I but for naked to return. My clothing gone is. Reforms with me that does not. Mad Enver shall not be for me so to see. Sure I am that we our room quickly seek shall.

<Peter Parkman> I don't want to know what goes on in your bedroom. I still don't think it's a good idea. Can I leave some clothes for you somewhere? Where will you come back? You can let me know when you are, and I can summon you? But just ... don't tell Enver I saw you naked? Please?

<Keara Aithne> *laughs softly* Oh Peter. The human form nothing is. Distract Enver I shall. Know I do not where return I shall. When first emerged I did, too disoriented I was for the place to mark. Near water I was. Know that much I do. And said you have that water a problem for you is. Worry not.

<Peter Parkman> But I can summon you. You won't have you tome. Do you intend to walk all the way here from wherever it is you wake up? I don't think that's a good idea either...

<Keara Aithne> Oh… Hmm… Enver summons now does. Talk to him I could for me home to bring. When the time right is. That a perfect idea is. Sure I am that Enver to this agree would. Only need conserve he must he is energies for this to do. Then worry you need not for my naked form again to see. Better that would be. Yes?

<Peter Parkman> I think so, yes. But other people would like to see you, too. When you come back. Please let me know when you are?

<Keara Aithne> Of course. Let you know I shall. Though doubt I do that Enver me shall wish to share. Or I him. Make sure I shall for into your mind to speak. Or for a message for the family upon the forum to leave. Something done shall be.

<Peter Parkman> You are contradictory, Keara. It confuses me. Sometimes I don't know how I can believe you need anyone else when you say things like that. For us, though. Yes - thank you.

<Keara Aithne> Missed my husband I do, Peter. He the first person is that see I shall. Right that is. And know I do how we are. Involved we shall be for some time once home I am. Once allowed I am for his arms to leave. Then see the rest of you I shall. Understand that I’m sure you can.

<Peter Parkman> I can understand that. So long as you let us know when you are home and safe - we have worried about you, so I think we deserve at least that much.

<Keara Aithne> That done shall be. Now please for your father for me to find. Needs you he does. Though admit that he likely shall not.

<Peter Parkman> Okay. I will try. Contact me again - like this, if you need to. Normally I would ask for warning but for this I will make an exception.

<Keara Aithne> Thank you darkling. Appreciate that I do. Speak to you soon I shall.
