[IC] The promised sorcerer bride-break the fate

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric sighed.
"A traveling magician came to town. I remember him holding a snake that suddenly turned into a long vined rose. It was....unbelievable."

……………………..

"better."
Angel smiled a bit.

[Shadow Dragon]

He gently takes her hand, rubbing it. "Thank you."

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel nodded. She smiled.

[Shadow Dragon]

He absently rubs small patterns on her palm. "There anything you want to talk about?"

[Sharidi37495]

Marin smiles softly. "That's what inspired you to be a magician?"

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel smirked.
"a wedding date?"
She chuckled.

………………………..

Eric shrugged. He faintly smiled.
"I guess you can say that."

[Shadow Dragon]

He laughs. "Good point."

[Sharidi37495]

Marin nods with a soft smile. "Now you can ask me something."

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel chuckled and nodded.
……………

Eric paused before speaking.
"well, is there anything you'd like me to know about you? anything you have not told me?"

[Sharidi37495]

Marin shrugs. "Ask me anything. I want to be open with you."

[Vampiretwilight]

"why do you...like me?"
Eric turned red.

[Sharidi37495]

Marin blushes but frowns thoughtfully. "Huh, that's a good question. I guess I first fell for you because your the only one I've ever met that isn't afraid of what I am and isn't pining after a human woman. Ever since I don't know exactly what it is but everything you do seems to make me 'like' you even more." She shrugs. "Sorry I couldn't give you a more definite answer. Hmm... what was your childhood like?"

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric sighed.
"My parents were often busy. My father worked at a warehouse and worked late nights. My mother traveled for business reasons. I was always left with a babysitter."

[Sharidi37495]

Marin frowns and rests her head on his shoulder. "I apologize. That sounds tough. Your turn."

[Vampiretwilight]

"well, could I ask you that same question then?"
Eric was curious.

[Sharidi37495]

Marin frowns and sighs. "I was afraid of that," she admits. "I... I don't really remember my childhood, per se. I'm not even completely sure how my kind is conceived. We just kind of... happen. I was born with a humanoid appearance, so I was left in a human village with no memories of parents, a former home, nothing. I actually thought I was human until I got scared in a childhood game of some ball game and I distinctly remember turning into a bear to dodge it, my attempt at bravery incarnate. The story was twisted by witnesses to say that I meant to attack, and I was treated as a witch ever since. I wasn't exactly a child though. My kind ages differently than humans do... so I'd say maybe an early pubescent."

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric blinked. He didn't know what to say.
"oh."

[Sharidi37495]

"It would be my turn, correct? Hmm... where is your family now?"

[Vampiretwilight]

"My father is dead and my mother moved after she remarried. We haven't spoken since."
Eric sighed.

[Sharidi37495]

Marin entwines their fingers. "We only have each other. I apologize for uprooting that pain. Your turn."
