Posted by Civilian Seamus McKenzie (Future Citizen) in Earth - An Unexpected Meeting
Seamus left before first light to hunt. As the dawn brought light to the stone house, the sheep in the pen ate and bumped against each other as they jockeyed for position at the feed.

A shower of blue and gold lights formed into the figure of a tall, raven-haired woman. Grey streaked through the long hair tastefully tied back and hanging in a single long braid down to the middle of her back. Sharp, intense green eyes were set in a faced lined with decades of leadership and worry, but she was still strikingly beautiful. She was dressed in knee-high black leather boots and dark blue pants, with a green button down shirt; all of which was under a fine and expensive-looking long coat trimmed in fur. Sapphire earrings sparkled against her skin.

Angus came running around the corner of the house and then skidded to a halt as the woman looked at him. “Good morning, Angus.” she said softly but somewhat formally. The ram walked up to her and lowered it’s head and the woman scratched at the base of his right horn and his rear left leg rose off the ground shook in pleasure. She smiled and said “I’m going in to see Seamus now. Be a good boy.” and she walked up to the door and opened it and stepped inside as if she owned the place… which, technically… she did.

Seamus McKenzie , The Landlord Is Coming!

Ragna heard the door and laughed, “What did you ‘forget’ this time Seamus? And don’t tell me it was to kiss me good bye. You spent an hour doing that.” Ragna stood with her back to the woman, tall, white blonde hair trailing down her back almost to her knees, brushed but loose, only half dressed, fussing with a tartan skirt that she couldn’t quite get adjusted so it wouldn’t trip her feet. Giving up, for the moment, because there was no point if Seamus was about to ruin her hard work, she folded it carefully and set it in the corner of the neatly made bed. She grabbed an emerald green dress and slipped it over her head, and began cinching the side lacings as she turned around. Eyes falling on the elegant older woman who had just walked into her home. “Hvor i Yggdrasill kom du fra? Og hva i halen til Jörmungandr gjør du her? Angus, din late geit! (Where in Yggdrasill did you come from? And what in Jörmungandr’s tail are you doing here? Angus, you lazy goat!)” Then the shock wore off. Ragna had seen photos of course and she felt even more…unbalanced and thankful she hadn’t said anything worse, though whether the Lady understood or not…and then years of drilling by her Da and Uncle kicked in. “Lady McKenzie, welcome. Would you like some tea?”
