IC Prospective: Isabela

[lustaddledpirate]

Character: Isabela
Canon: Dragon Age
Mun: Amy
Plot specific: N

While obviously I miss Hogwarts terribly - after five years of this, you'd think I'd be used to it - there really is something to be said about being back home. Not the home part, I'm not that sentimental, but the other things are nice. Being able to spend as long as you want with the sun on your back (not that there's much of that, thank you England). Watching the boats come and go. The smell of the sea, the feel of sand underneath your feet. The pain of getting sand out of your boots afterwards and wishing you could just magic it out.

Oh no, I really am starting to get sentimental. Quick, someone give me something I can make an innuendo out of!

Comments

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well, gosh, I can't blame you very getting sentimental over that! It sounds amazing!

[lustaddledpirate]

And isn't your enthusiasm adorable? If I'm being honest, there are worse places to come back to.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well... Thank you!

I've never been to a beach before.

[lustaddledpirate]

What? It's the next best thing after the sea itself!

Treat yourself to a trip out some time, sweet thing. I'm sure you'll love it.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well... I can ask Mother! Maybe she'll take me with her one day; I know she's gone before.

[lustaddledpirate]

Here's a tip - go in the evening. It's colder, but quieter. You can pretend you have it all to yourself. Just, ah, watch out for shady spots. In the summer people like to... just give them a wide berth.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Ooh, that does sound nice. But... What do people like to do? You can tell me.

[lustaddledpirate]

Well, when people love each other very much, or don't love each other but find each other very attractive, or maybe just about good enough...

Ah, tell you what. Come see me some time, I've got some books that could explain it better.

[She has a lot of books.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh!

Isabela, I know what you're talking about! You don't need to show me a book.

Gosh, I'll definitely have to go with Mother, then.

[lustaddledpirate]

Sorry sweet thing, I've come across people more innocent than you before.

The offer of the book still stands, though. Sharing is caring!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

No, there's nothing wrong with, uh, respecting people's possible innocence.

[lustaddledpirate]

Exactly! It makes the inevitable corruption twice as much fun.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Why is that fun?

[lustaddledpirate]

It means we have far more in common!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, I get it. You're... Not the innocent type, huh?

[lustaddledpirate]

Of the many, many things people have called me, innocent has not been one of them.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well, hey, there's nothing wrong with that!

I mean, I'm not exactly... Worldly, but I don't think innocence is something to judge someone on!

[sonofamelonlord]

What's wrong with being sentimental about going home?

[Not that he wants to go back to his old home now, but still, you baffle him.]

[lustaddledpirate]

There's nothing wrong with it, just as long as you've got something to be sentimental about. I...

I missed the sea. I don't mind being sentimental about that.

[sonofamelonlord]

Oh.

[Yeah, that part he can get. The not having something to be sentimental about part.]

I never saw what's so great about the sea.

[lustaddledpirate]

You never saw...?

[So yeah, she's maybe just a little bit horrified.]

You don't get seasick, do you?

[sonofamelonlord]

I never spent that much time on a boat, so I couldn't tell you.

[lustaddledpirate]

Oh, you're missing out. You haven't truly experienced the sea until you've sailed on it.

[Of course, her experience of sailing is renting out a little sailboat every few weeks when she's at home, but she likes to pretend she's an authority on it.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

wow those tanlines must be a bitch.
and i dont like the beach.
especially not sex on the beach.
its really awkward when you get a fucking white handprint in the middle of a godawful sunburn.
nty.

[lustaddledpirate]

Hm. For some mysterious reason, I don't really have that problem. Funny, that.

And sex on the beach is tremendous fun! Even if you can't get a proper footing. It's just a bit... gritty.

[plushaeusrumpified]

oh.
oh i get it.
i see what youre saying.

are you even old enough to be doing any of these things young lady.
wait theres a saying i just remembered.
something about clocks.

youre good.

[lustaddledpirate]

I've been legal for nearly a year, and some people back home happen to be very pretty. And old enough is relative.

Nice to know I have your permission, though.

[plushaeusrumpified]

if thats the case then why do i get the feeling you never waited until you were legal.
come on you can tell me.
its not like im gonna spill the beans.
im not gonna start nasty rumours about your underage sex life.
that would just be rude.
and it would make me a horrible professor.

im sure you can sleep with people easier at night now knowing youve got bro striders permission.

[lustaddledpirate]

Well, laws are just rules in fancy writing, and rules are meant to be broken.

And I'm happy to share my sex life with everyone I see fit.

[plushaeusrumpified]

i knew i liked you for a reason.
no pedo.
but yeah i like the way you think.
if it wasnt summer id give you some points but.
well sorry youre sol on that one.

i take it you dont see fit though.
whatever i dont even care.
i dont actually wanna know.
i was mostly just trolling you.

[ruuruus]

Overprolonged exposure to the sun is unhealthy for your skin cells. Is this not common knowledge among the populace?

[lustaddledpirate]

Almost everything fun is unhealthy, but if you're not having fun then what's the point of living?

Anyway, it's not like we're in Australia. A little sun won't kill me.

[In spite of this, it's possible she spends a minute or so each morning in front of the mirror obsessively looking for wrinkles.]

[ruuruus]

While having fun is most certainly an enjoyable thing in life, some care for your well being should still prove to be prioritary. How much fun would it be to be slowly writhing and decaying in a hospital bed?

[lustaddledpirate]

...I'll try to remember to wear sunscreen more often.

[ruuruus]

I would also suggest an umbrella. Cheap sunscreen tends to be oily and leaves your skin greasy, so i once again emphasize the idea of bringing one.

[cantstarvethisfire]

When I get home I go out in to the woods.

[lustaddledpirate]

I don't mind the woods, but I don't get on well with squirrels. Vicious little buggers.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I once saw one climb up a mans bare leg when he was wearing shorts.

[clockspinner]

[Did somebody say innuendo]

being forbidden from using magic outside of schoo
oh wait that part sucks balls

[lustaddledpirate]

Hey, when balls are being sucked at least someone is hopefully having fun. The no magic part makes no one happy.

[ladyliberty]

You sound like you've been having fun.

[lustaddledpirate]

Absolutely! Now, if only we could get over this pesky 'no magic' business I'd be ecstatic.

[She has a calendar solely for crossing off the days until her 17th birthday. No, it's not pathetic.]

[ladyliberty]

Yeah, it's a bummer. I have to ask the freaking maid if I want any magic done. How pathetic is that!
