In reply to: Marz and Jeremy 's message, "Teasing Rowan" on 10:00:07 03/13/02 Wed

Saras was a pro at sulking. He wasn�t quire sure just what it was exactly, but when he scowled and pouted just right, people seemed to melt. He had been perfecting it for some time, but all actual thought and conscious attempt was gone. He was just sulking now, chilled and shivering. Why had Rowan done that to him? He was fully dressed, and although he�d tied his hair back with the sash, he was dripping and cold. He sat down at the fire and rubbed his eyes with his wet sleeve, resulting in nothing, since either way, his cheeks were damp. It just depended on if Saras wanted tears or the water on his face...

�Rowan was just goofing around," Jeremy said, sitting down next to him and handing him a warm mug. "I don't think he realizes how much you really despise the water."

Saras looked at Jeremy, and then down into the mug and held it, since it was warm. It warmed his fingers considerably, because the evening air and his wet hair and clothes. He didn�t even have a change of clothing he could put on� He creeped towards the Fire a bit, liking the heat that radiated form the fire, even if it was just for cooking.

"You don't hate Rowan now, do you?"

As cold as Saras was, when he thought about it, he couldn�t truly Hate anyone. Even if he wanted to� even if he hated that Rowan had made him frightened, and he was cold and uncomfortable now� hated that his misery was a game� No, he didn�t hate Rowan, but he was not happy either. He couldn�t Hate. But he could be a bit upset�

�I don�t hate him.� Saras said sipping at the hot drink. Once the warm liquid was inside him, it began to chase off the coldness he�d felt. But he still felt a little bit hurt.

��but the water.. Being pulled into it like that, it scares me. It scares me so much Jeremy.� he said, lowering his eyes, and watching the fire. �I.. I tried not to cry, but� Jeremy� I�m made from Fire, and I don�t know how to swim! ..I wouldn�t mind learning� just not like that��
