Excerpt
The song ended, and the cold that flooded my core roused me back to where I stood. The room was silent as a tomb and every eye was fixed on me. 'Uh-oh.' A flash of a mob wielding torches filled my head. I've gone too far. I searched for Angus fearing I'd lost him too. I found him there behind the bar, smiling the wickedest, most loving, proudest I'd ever seen on a human face. It gave me a strange comfort and I started to breathe again. As I did, it seems the spell was broken. Applause filled the room, accompanied by whooping and hollering that filled my ears. Funny, I never thought my singing voice was all that good. Has to be the song. Hugh took my hand to help me down. He grabbed me by the waist and lifted me down seating me softly in a chair. The movement so fluid it felt as though I were nothing but air. "Give this girl a drink, Angus. She's suredly earned it," he said and everyone laughed. I've heard of sining for your supper, but drink? And then the questions came, "where did that come from, Luna?"
"Oh, I don't know, really. I haven't thought of it for years. I remember it from my childhood, I guess. It seemed somehow appropriate, though. It's one of the few songs I know by heart with a Celtic hue," I explained. I noticed a secretive, knowing look passing among them as I spoke. "What? What'd I say?"
"Nothing, dear," Brianna chimed reassuringly. "Never you mind, it was lovely," she soothed. "Stop your hoverin' ye bilks. Let the girl alone. Let her breathe."
And with that the feeding frenzy died out and we returned to our drinks. I caught sight of Angus again. He looked gleeful. An odd sight in an old man. We played for a while longer then I announced, "Okay, boys and girls, I think that'll do it for me tonight. I'm headed home." There was a rumbling of "aw nuts" that rose in the room. "Now, now, I'm not going away, just home to sleep it off. You can't get rid of me that easily," I tried to soothe their grumblings.
"Get rid of you?!" came Kale's voice. "We just found you. Why would we want to get rid of you?!"
I flashed him a grin and a wink, "Just teasing, sweet pea," I said trying to allay what seemed a genuine concern that I might leave. He laughed nervously, "Oh. I knew that," and he blushed a little. I think he may have a wee crush on me. I hugged them all good night, then Corc and Aiden saw me home and started a fire for me. "What gentlemen you both are, thought it seems quite unnecessary. I am quite capable you know," I teased them.
They flashed me sheepish grins, "we know, love."
It seemed as though there was more to the statement than they were letting on, but nothing else followed. I threw them a smile, hugged them both, and sent them off, "Be off with you then. Stop hovering. Don't you two have homes to get to? I'm well kept now. Good night," I chastised teasingly.
Aiden stole a kiss from my cheek. Corc didn't want to be left out so he quickly caught the other cheek and they left swatting and shoving at one another. Ahh, youth. I believe its returning to me. I went to the study to write to Bryn. I knew there would be nothing from him, but one can hope. Besides, I had to talk to someone and it wouldn't be anyone but him. I poured out everything, every last drop and sent it on its way. I'm sure he'll think I've gone mad, not that he would ever say so of course. He's never been anything but accepting and caring towards me.

I have always been a creative, observant person. Not so much quiet as I do have quite a mouth on me, but very introspective. I watch. Lately, I'm not so keen on what I see when I watch, so I turn to my own mind to distract me from the mundanity of human interaction.
So, when I find something in the human world that is pleasantly distracting, I tend to latch on with quite a forceful grip. I have found such an object, and were that object within actual physical grasp, it just might be in danger of losing itself to me. I can be quite formidable when indulging my usually dormant selfish tendencies. It also helps that I have recently had a profound boost of self assurance. So, the object of my desire might just be in real peril of being taken away from it's current natural environment which would be blissful for us, but not so much for those I take it away from, as I would most likely have a great deal of difficulty returning it.
On the rare occassion that I do give into my "darker" side, I am quite voracious, but then, since it does happen so rarely, I do allow myself some latitude. After all, we all have a dark side, and if this is as dark as mine gets, its not such a bad thing, as I do have a lot to offer and most that "fall under my spell" have little to complain about as my dark side is more interested in pleasure for parties involved, not pain.
Oh well, I am what I am and should I ever be fortunate enough to hold the object of my affection for any length of time, there would be no complaint. No, I am very rarely quite so egotistical as this may seem, but every once in a while, {oh who am I kidding, it's only happened one other time, and he is quite blissfully happy, just ask him}, I just have to feel it and let it take over for a bit.
Strangely enough, I feel quite sure, impossible as it may seem, that at some point I will interact with the object of my current affectionate obsession. I'm not quite sure why, exactly, but we shall see. Besides, it is high time my passion is allowed to express it self, at least once more, and I can think of no one better or more qualified to experience it than my current object of desire, as I am EXTREMELY picky and have very high standards, quite difficult for most to live up to, including myself on regular occassion, but I never give up hope. Don't you wish you were the one?
