The door opens to blinding whiteness.
And a woman steps out of it. Through the door.





Emerald eyes blinking; focusing on the funny little room.

"Certainly there have been worse starts. But perhaps that remains to be seen."

The first blush of a new acquaintance -- or a new place -- is hardly the time to make any judgments.

They call them 'snap' for a reason.

[heartofthedream]

"I've seen far more terrible beginnings than this." And even some worse betrayal that had come from beautiful beginnings and middles as well, but she nodded in agreement with his words.

"Observation window aside," Galadan acknowledges, "it certainly seems to fall to the milder side of any scale."

[heartofthedream]

"I like it," Jean said, glancing partially over her shoulder. It, more than anything else, felt right. Even here.

[wolflord_andain]

"Some do," Galadan acknowledges, inclining his head very slightly.

Such affection may reveal a great deal about a person. It may, of course, just as easily only reveal what lies on the surface.

Who is to say?

[heartofthedream]

Which, of course, asks for. "What do you think of it?"

[wolflord_andain]

"The view?"

His gaze, winter-grey and cool, never leaves Jean's face.

"I enjoyed it better when I was younger."

Then it was his heart's greatest wish made manifest.

Now?

Now it is merely not a surprise.

[heartofthedream]

"Why?"

[wolflord_andain]

"Why does youth enjoy anything?"

[heartofthedream]

"For itself."


Though the it in question could be multifaceted.

[wolflord_andain]

"So it has been a long time since you were young, then."

[heartofthedream]

If she ever was.



Before the Dawn of Time.

Before Annie Richard's died.



"That would all be part of perspective."

She could say she was a day old today. Again. Too.

[wolflord_andain]

"The better question may be 'what isn't?'"

There's a curl of the sardonic to his words, though his gaze remains cool.

[heartofthedream]

Jean's mouth curved a bit, and she nodded to one side.


The universal absolutes swam toward her and through her.

[wolflord_andain]

Galadan merely raises one eyebrow again.

In some places it may pass for a question.

Or an observation.

In no world or sphere of influence would it be mistaken for a nervous twitch.
