OOC>>> I feel the irony, Skye [img]tongue.gif[/img] I would have posted more earlier, but we've been shifting houses and it's stressful work, especially when I didn't quite dare to apply for more vacation leave to help out (it's the peak period at work and bosses aren't too happy if we go off)...

Mistral
The earthquakes in her head were dying down, replaced by steady buzzing vibrations ~ No point telling me all that, whoever you are... ~ Watching him, she swallowed a slow gulp ~ You've only confirmed death is a better fate. ~ And she began to snicker inwardly, amazed at her sense of the ludicrous at this point of danger ~ Didn't the heroines bite off and swallow their tongues in the old drama serials? That ended their torment fast enough... ~ Sniffling ~ I wonder what my blood and tongue would taste like... ~ But it was quite impossible, she knew, to attempt the feat ~ How painful and gory it would be... eewww...
As her mind continued to engage in callisthenics, she closed her eyes, hearing her own erratic heartbeat thundering in her ears.
