Cora: *snuggled up in her bed* It's so cold outside tonight... I think it may even be -2 degrees outside... *stares at her phone* .... I guess.....
Cora: I guess... there is no harm in calling... and.... I still haven't given him Nurse Desii's sleeping advice yet... I should have probably done that... there.. there is no harm in calling him...
Cora: I hope.. he's not angry at me for running away earlier...
Cora: *buries herself underneath her blanket as she listens to the phone ring* .....
*sigh* I'm bored. *Melt with you blares from his leg*
Huh? *checks* Yes!
Hello? Bhudo here.
Cora: Hello Bhudo... it's Cora. I wanted to call to apologize to you for hanging up the last time..
*pets the phone as if it were her head* It's alright. I know you didn't do it.
Cora: No.. I did do it and I fully intend to take responsibility for my actions. I hope I haven't caused you any pain... I forgot to tell you that I've talked with my friend, Nurse Desii about your problems sleeping lately. She said that it might be stress related and that soaking in the tub alone before you try to sleep might help you...
Stop that. I didn't like it but it's alright. Soaking alone huh? Doesn't seem like much fun....... but I guess that's the point right?
Cora: *giggles* I guess so... I think the purpose of it is to help you relax. Speaking of which.. I hope you are not angry with me... for earlier... I feel terribly about it... I really do.
I was...but I'm not now. I'm just happy you called.
Cora: Well... *is silent for a moment* .... I'm glad I called too. I-I missed your voice....
*soft smile* I'm glad you missed something of me. I missed you too.
Cora: *sounds irritated* Missed something of you? What in the world is that supposed to mean exactly? If you are implying that I suddenly don't care about you anymore that is ludicrous and a bit slanderous towards me... *halfway between teasing and honestly angry* How dare you think my feelings are so fickle...
*sits up really straight* No no no I didn't m mean it that way, C corina. I j just m meant that......y you liked m my voice enough t to m miss it. Oh I d don't know wh what I'm saying.
Cora: *smiles, pulling down her blanket and curling closer* There is your stutter... I was beginning to miss it... I think it's very cute.... very sweet... you are very sweet Bhudo....
*sags in relief* Th thank you I th think. I d don't st stutter as m much when I re relax. Or when K Kai is helping m me.
Cora: Nervous then? Teehee... *teasing* Am I making you nervous?
*thinking to himself* Oh man I put my foot in it. *aloud* I admit n nothing. D dya hear? N nothing. *chuckle*
Cora: *giggles* You are silly, Bhudo... very very silly. *quietly* If it makes you feel any better... you make me nervous too...
R remind me t to file that away f for another d day.
Cora: It's so very very cold out tonight... I'm in my bed all bundled up trying to stay warm. The Manor is well heated but even looking out the windows makes me want to freeze to death... talking to you right now has reminded me of a poem... would you like to hear it?
I'd l like that. Yes
Cora: *recites* "She tells her love while half asleep
In the dark hours,
With half-words whispered low:
As Earth stirs in her winter sleep
And puts out grass and flowers
Despite the snow,
Despite the falling snow."
.............................................
Cora: *frowns* Did you not like it? It reminded me of you... I'm sorry if you didn't like it... I will pick a better one to recite to you next time...
*softly* I love it. I was just l letting the w words sink in. It's b beautiful.
Cora: *smiles* I'm glad... I like it too. *watches Cami silently crawl onto the bed with her* I think it has a very good sentiment to it...
Yes....yes it does. Makes me almost wish it were cold here too.
Cami: *begins to snuggle Cora, nuzzling against her*
Cora: *giggles* Oh no you don't! It's just terrible... if I even try to go outside I feel my insides freezing... *begins to stroke Cami's hair* It makes both Cami and I in a very peaceful and cuddly mood though...
Then I am definitely j jealous. You have each other to c cuddle and I have n no one. You sh shouls share.
Cami: *climbs under the blankets with her mother, snuggling against her more tightly*
Cora: Don't be ridiculous... you are always invited to come and cuddle with us... *teasing* That is if you would like to come and cuddle with the two of us... we could sure use the extra heat and... *blushes* I would like to be near you very much...
:rolleyes:
*under his breath* so innocently she offers a dream *aloud*I would l love t c cuddle with y you b both. Being n near you is what I wish f for as w well.
Cora: *giggles, turning a little more red* You are very sweet...
Cami: Mama, let me have the phone for a second...
Cora: Here Cami wants to speak with you for a moment....
Cami: How is that kitten of yours doing, nihal? Making progress?
I think I frightened her but now I am learning which way her fur is to be stroked aliar. B)
Cami: *whining* Nihal... it is so cold out here... you should be here to snuggle us and keep us warm. Mama wants the same thing.
Cora: *holds Cami close, stroking her blonde hair and smiling softly*
Aliar........n nothing would please m me more. Or p perhaps something m might. You could come t to me and we can cuddle under the s stars.
Cami: *hands the phone back to Cora* Take it.
Cora: Cami is in a very sweet mood right now... I am glad that you had an opportunity to see her in one of her better moods for once...
Cami: Hmph!!
I'm glad too. I love her dearly. Perhaps you will visit one day.
Cora: I see you are persistant in your wish... *giggles, then whispers* Eden would not let me leave Bhudo... she just won't. She is afraid for me to go out into the outside world though I do not know why...
*sits up* I am very p persistant when I truly w want something salirani. I would n not be king otherwise. We can p protect you Corina. There are many ways to b bring you to the Lair without p putting you in ddanger. Ask Vaieh, she can bring you to me.
Cora: I am still a bit angry with Vaieh... I... I best not Bhudo.... I really shouldn't leave here. And I will just make things more complicated... I am good at doing that to people...
The differences between you and Vaieh must remain so. I will not intefere. *softly, tenderly* Anhe jenrerhou , peliar mihilin salirani, soir.
Cora: *turns deep red at his words, spoken in the dialect of Gaerean that she knew* B-Bhudo.... *whispers, her voice low and soft* Cami has fallen asleep... I think it is time to try to sleep... I will... talk to you again soon. Please take care of yourself... Goodnight Bhudo....
Sleep well, anhekerai. I look forward to talking with you again. Sar.
Cora: *hangs up the phone* Why.. why does he say such things to me....
Cami: *mumbling, half asleep* Because they are true, Mama... it is the truth...
Cora: *holds Cami closer to her, stroking her hair and staying silent* I don't know sweetheart... I don't know...
