Jeanne-Marie

“As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit:”

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *Her cheeks pink, out of sight, fingers curling carefully around Chimera's*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *Squeaks softly in response and nuzzles at her hair*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *Wraps narrow, endlessly gentle arms around her and rests her own head on Chimera's* Thank you for warming me.

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *Beams at her!!!* I love it. Je t'adore, Chimera.

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp How! *Eyes SO wide they fill half her face, mouth pulled up against all protest*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp and shivers and her cheeks are bright, eyes brighter, all aglow like the moon and she throws arms all around Chimera's neck*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *The laugh buoys her up, higher faster-. And then a laugh of her own trips out of her and the ground calls her back and she trips onto her feet, running, running, spinning and catching onto Chimera and spinning with her, feet still flying in the dirt, kicking it up in scatters --

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *She is a bird. She is, suddenly, a bird, and slipping free of earthly chains, flying over the leaves and flying, flying--*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *Whee~! Bright trees and bright Chimera and bright bright speed faster faster whipping up leaves the breeze fiercer past her ears-*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *Squeals at the sudden flight, filled with bright joy at the sight. Her feet grow lighter, faster, until she's almost pulling Chimera along*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *Heh. She's still not so sure about running. Once she's /doing it/, yes, but. There's a dread attached to starting, to trying, to beginning. She grips hard to Chimmy's hand to encourage herself before extending long legs out. Run, run*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp I ⁠—. *Her fingers briefly work in Chimera's* Yes...

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp @BendAndSway *Flushes and her lips pull up like a bow. Erik excuses himself and JM twines her fingers with Chimera's*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp @BendAndSway *Follows her finger. Oh yes, those do look foreboding* Should we go in, or do you want to be outside a little longer?

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp @BendAndSway Can you tell? *Stares at her ears — so pretty! So clever...*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp @BendAndSway *Squeals softly--! And it's Chimera, so even though her heart is pounding she's laughing and looping an eager adoring arm around her* Chimera! Tu m'as surpris!

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@BendAndSway @SpliceThingsUp *Though everything about /Chimera/ is interesting...*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *Gazes at her laughing, and smiles very brightly, shyly, brightly at it*

[Jeanne-Marie @DivineFlight]

@SpliceThingsUp *The laugh splits and spills past her hand, bright and twinkling* Oh no, oh no, how awful..!
