*Beatrice stands by the edge of the lake in the glow of the setting sun. She watches the others cavort in the water and on the shore and wishes desperately that she could join them. She hugs herself and wonders if it hurts to drown...*

*wanders over* Hullo...you're Beatrice, aren't you? I don't think we've met, properly. I'm Tonks.

Good morrow, Lady Tonks...

I wonder if you might have seen the muse Sappho?

[clumsy_auror]

*shakes head* No, I'm afraid I've not seen either she nor Kalos in a couple of days.

If you don't mind me saying so...you look a bit out of sorts.

I confess that my sadness is without measure. Someone I love deeply has, it seems, left me...

*looks sympathetic* I'm very sorry. Are you sure, though? Perhaps she's just gone away for a bit. Maybe not forever.

It has been five days and I have not seen or heard from her. Each night I return to the chamber we are to share and there are no traces of her. No creases in the bedspread, no books out of their line upon her desk. She goes neither to this establishment, nor to our room. And I am alone.

Well, I know what it's like to be alone, but I'm sure that doesn't make you feel any better.

But there are others, here, who feel just as alone...wouldn't it be better to be alone...with them?

I do not believe that I can endure the pity of those who would say "there is Beatrice, who had a dream in her grasp and lost it" I cannot go back to my life as it was, 'twere best to go forward to what lies ahead, the undiscovered country...

Barbie sails up and down the side of the lake and notices Beatrice. She examines her face and frowns. 'Hello. You know, thise crow's feet can be easily taken care of. I know this guy who's terrific, you barely feel it.'

I know not of what you speak, Lady, but I thank you for your concern.

'Oh, it's not a problem at all. I enjoy helping those who are less knowledgeable than me.' Reaching into the confines of space and time, Barbie retrieves a large make-up set and begins to coordinate. 'Really now, black does nothing for you. If you want to keep them coming, you have to look open. Neons and pastels are where it's at.'
