It's a road that never ends (Jaela)

[Corwin]

"Hey! That book is filled with revelations about Hanna! I got a much better understanding of you-- why I bet I could quote from it by heart. That takes effort and dedication! And yes, maybe a creepy stalker crush. Want to help me ward your things from him?"

[Anastasia]

"It's no use," Hanna says, "He just finds ways around them. I have the patience of the Heavens and I know this will pass. No matter how it brings out my worst. Besides, competing with a slaad isn't worth it."

[Corwin]

"What if one day he does that spell that lets him have his own Hanna? Like a copy Hanna or a snow clone Hanna?"

[Anastasia]

Hanna pauses in the middle of disrobing, a twitch making her stop. "Jaela, never mention that idea again. Ever." She turns, her full glare on her daughter. Then she smiles, "Anyway, so tell me about your day."

[Corwin]

"Read this neat book," Jaela says with a grin. "Then wasted some time with Adrian, and took Ellese to meditate for a while together. Well, not together together, Mei was there too."

[Anastasia]

Once finished, Hanna goes to the baths. She sinks in up to her neck, no one else in here. "Mmmm." She murmurs appreciatively before she replies, "I can't imagine Ellese making a move on you so, so...?"

[Corwin]

Jaela uses the chance to be silly and launch herself in the water! She dives below and swims to her heart's content before surfacing at last, now content to just float lazily. "Yeah, probably," she agrees with Hanna. "Though who knows?" Blinking, she says, "Candy knows, I suppose. And probably Elena. Hey, Elena, want to join us in a nice soak?"

[Anastasia]

Elena's voice is heard, "Sorry, I'm busy with Sage Vul'lath right now." She appears for a few moments, waves, and vanishes.

"Canderella might know," Hanna admits quietly, "So it was probably crossed wires, or it's someone so embarrassing you don't want to confess it."

This one will go a little longer due to the fact that Jaela and Hanna actually having a conversation is years due.

[Corwin]

"Nah, I'm not that easily embarrassed," Jaela responds with a grin. "So Mirajane's been asking about going with you on some quest. I think it'd be nice if you two found the time for one. So long as it's as safe as can be for us."

[Anastasia]

"So who else...?" Hanna considers, resting back and closing her eyes. "Oh, of course. Mei. She'd be in the temple and that's where you'd meditate. Anyway, I'll talk to her and take her out - or be with her if she participates in the coming assault."

[Corwin]

"I think I'd want to be with Mirajane then, but after? Sure. And after, maybe we could all go meet my brother already? I did promise Candy to introduce them, you know, and I stand by my words!"

[Anastasia]

"Maybe we could," Hanna says, then smiles a little bit. "Hmmm, maybe Canderella and I can..." she muses to herself.

[Corwin]

"Can what, go and invite him over without me?" Jaela asks with another grin. "You could, if you wanted to ignore my very subtle attempts to have us spend more time together out of combat."

[Anastasia]

"Subtle like an axe to the face," Hanna waves a hand, water splashing in her wake. "Besides, I'd much rather go with you than her."

[Corwin]

Jaela outright laughs at that. "Yeah, figures you'd know all about that. Do you have any hobbies outside waving that crazy thing about? Maybe we could even share them, I don't know. I took up painting recently, and hey, that book about you? If that's what it takes to get published, I bet I could. Oh, the things I could write about!"
