h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The room is adorned with heavey silk drapes, the bed is also covered with rich silk

*Enters the cabin and is amazed at the opulence of it!.. The fittings and the trim.. all beautifully laid out. Walking to the porthole to look out.. her excited mood falters as she watches the porter and the guards bring the coccoon on board ship... She watches with sadness the crew as they made the signs to ward of the evil eye. She knows this could cause trouble amongst the crew, but the girl WILL be taken home*


*Throwing her weapons onto the bed and selecting her long knife, she fastens the sheath to her belt*


*She makes her way back to the deck*

*draws Lilandra into the room and raises an eyebrow at all the things on the bed*

Prepared as usual

*he turns and kisses her softly*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


*She can feel Jack's guiding hand on her back.. pushing her gently into her cabin*


*Lilandra looks at all her weapons on the bed and begins to move them into the cupboards....Her cases of clothing.. she opens and begins to put her Elven wardrobe away... the fabric strong, yet durable.. something never to be found in the land of human. The colours changing like a chameleon.....*

*Stops and stands looking at a gossamer scarf... the weave so very fine to be almost invisible*

*She trembles......*

Lilandra?

*puts a hand gently on her arm*

This was my mother's. She gave it to me to wear with my very first adult gown. Oh Jack! </>

*Turns and sobs in his arms*

*The captain sighs deeply and holds Lilandra to himself*

Lilandra, you must hold on for their sake.

*sniffs*

I know... But I hurt them deeply when I refused to marry... I couldn't live on the plains.. I thought I couldn't live without the forest.

*laugh coldly*

Look where I ended up!.. A City of brick and stone!


*throws herself on the bed*

*looks thoughtful, his emotionless face scanning options*

*he crawls up onto the bed next to her and slips an arm about her*

Lilandra, tell me what you want now

*looks into his eyes.. seeing his love plainly*


I want you! *kisses him passionately*

*The captain smiles softly and gathers Lilandra into his arms, returning her kiss*

Then you shall have me Lilandra, and we can deal with all else as and when is necessary

*They fall asleep in locked in each others arms*

*Lilandra wakens so suddenly that Jack automatically reaches for his sword*


NO!!.. Liquid you can't leave!


*jumps from the bed... and straighten the creases from her skirt as she leaves the cabin... heading for the deck*

*startled he watches Lilandra run from the room, then quickly picks up his sword belt and straightens his shirt as he follows*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


*With shaking hands Lilandra locks the door and turns round... and with her back against the door she slides down.. and sits on the floor, shaking*

*Materialises in corner of cabin.*

Milady forgive me I was called away by the Gods. They have cautioned me I help the human race too much and I must not interfer. It was only your scream of help that forced them into releasing me and giving me a second chance.

*Holds hands out in front of him. A dark red glow comes from palms
and surrounds Lilandra. It stays for a moment than vanishes.*

My magic tells my your are uninjured. But have a care when Cal is around. I may not always be here, as the Gods have other work for me. I have to look after Sota as well.

*knocks quietly on the door*

Lilandra? will you let me in?

*tries the handle quietly and finds it locked*

Lilandra?

JACK!!

*scrambles to her feet*


*fumbles with the key in the lock*... stupid door! </>


Jack.. wait!.. Oh... *manages to unlock it*


*Throws herself in his arms.. *


HOLD ME!!! *sobs*

*pulls her off and shakes her*

Pull yourself together Lilandra!

You are overreacting again! Lilandra, Cal was only trying to help.

Here, dry your tears and get a hold on your feelings. You are the queen reffered to on this vessel, begin to act like one!

*hesitates, then pulls her back into his arms*

Remember Lilandra, we are going to your home

*blinks*


.. sorry </>


*Lilandra allows herself the luxury of few more moments in Jack's arms*

*Moves away and straightens herself... sniffs.. *

Yes.. You are right... and I believe I owe him an apology..

*looks into his eyes*

Jack!!.. He saved my life back there.. and I didn't even thank him!

Oooh!.. I feel awful now

*sits on the bed and pouts*
