Roswell Fanatics

~LIZ~

I shrug. "Oh, I don't know. What is he like? Is he easy to talk to? What does he like? What are his dislikes? Does he like balls and dancing or does he prefer a night reading by the fireplace? I want to know whatever you want to tell me about him. I'm just hoping to get some information about what to expect. Michael said he's good looking but he didn't expand on that." I frown slightly. "I guess that's probably a good thing. I would start to wonder if he went on and on about how handsome Prince Xan is." I laugh lightly at that.

Looking back up at Max, I find myself asking, "Is he kind and gentle? Does he like animals? I want to know absolutely everything."

Michael

Just as I asked if I could enter the doc must have turned her ankle and she yelps in pain and I cringe.I know how much a sprain or fracture can hurt having had both.

"Yes, Michael, come on in."
I enter and go stand in one corner waiting for the doctor to finish his examination.

"Crutches would be a good idea milady." I offer "I have used them myself and they're easy to get around on once you're used to them."

~MARIA~

I don't say anything at Michael's suggestion, unsure how to act around him now after his words earlier. Smiling up at the doctor, I say, "Thank you, Doctor, for coming."

He chuckles and pats my cheek lightly. "You're welcome, Maria. I'll have one of the maids or footmen bring those crutches as soon as possible."

The doctor leaves and it's just Michael and I again...well, along with the birds and Basil. Shasta left some time ago. Basil is sitting by my side with his head in my lap, looking apologetic. I stroke his head absently as I look anywhere but at Michael. "Was there something you wanted?" I ask him softly.

Michael

The Doctor leaves so it's just her and me now and I can't hide anywhere.
"Was there something you wanted?"

"Well umm...you see" I shift uncomfortably from one foot to the other,I'm not used to apologising "I'm sorry that I was such an unfriendly jerk earlier on.It was wrong of me to bite your head off when you were just being polite and welcoming.I hope you will look past my idiocy and we can be friends."

Going towards the door I open it again,"I hope you feel better soon Milady." I bow and exit before she can anything.
Those eyes of hers have an intensity I have never quite seen before,almost as if they were looking right through me,like she knew what I was thinking.It's unnerving and fascinating at the same time.

~MARIA~

I admit that I am surprised. He doesn't strike me as the type to apologize often. Maybe that's why he disappeared before letting me say something. "Michael," I call, hoping he'll hear me and come back but pretty sure he won't.

I grimace as my ankle throbs and I look down at it. It's starting to swell up and I immediately take one of those pain pills the doctor gave me. Hopefully, they'll make me sleepy. I don't want to think about my parents' death anymore. That's the only thing I seem to think of lately when I'm left alone. I wonder why it keeps popping up now. Glancing at the calendar on the wall, I realize that it's been 10 years since their death next week. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Occ: If it's ok with everyone, we'll skip ahead to the next day on Tagorra. As soon as Max and Liz's conversation is over, we'll skip ahead on Eurolgan too, if that's fine with everyone.

Fine by me

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
"Um... weeeell..." I look at her before saying, "Well... Zan loves his gardens. The castle is full of them, and several are his private gardens."
I then realise how that sounds and say, "But when I say private I mean that as soon as he gives you the key you can go in. Plus I know he has set several aside next to his for you. He has many guard dogs, but he loves his 3 cats more."

I scratch my ear nervously before saying, "He loves all the arts, but particularly music. He likes to dance, but he gets nervous dancing infront of other people. Zan loves to read and has many libraries. He keeps aside half an hour a day to read."

I swallow before continuing, "He is up for anything, but tends to get nervous easily. The only thing Zan doesn't like is weapons and people who would harm his country and/or people." I sigh to myself thinking that I got threw that without saying, 'me' or 'Max'.

~LIZ~

I smile as I try to picture this man that Max is describing. I sigh when he finishes. "He sounds perfect." I can't help but feel a little disappointment and I don't know why. I mean I'm going to marry this man we're talking about. I try to picture what he might look like but all I keep seeing is Max's face. Shaking my head, I sigh again. I must be really tired. I think I need a nap.

"Max, perhaps you and Michael should go find your quarters now. Forgive me if I sound rude but I'm feeling rather tired all of a sudden and would like a nap," I tell him. I spent a lot of today being overwhelmed by new people's feelings and the excitement of the new guards arrival and Maria's accident and it's just been a tiring day.

skipping ahead is fine with me
