with a graveyard tan carrying a cross

ooooh yay glad I could help!! Like I said the Mifi was what kept me afloat for three years on WWS! Ps I think Mordecai is Caiaphas' first pleasant encounter here! Thank you for the thread I am glad we are writing together again. I put an ambiguous ending here but I would love to thread again. Where does Mordecai normally travel besides the spine? MYbe I can set up another thread for us??

He handled her deflection well -- in a graceful manner Caiaphas could only hope to duplicate. His offer seemed genuine and Caiaphas wondered briefly what the world he lived in was like, where warmth and acceptance was given even to reedy and delinquent things like herself.

"That would be nice." She replied, to both of the things he mentioned. She knew, however, that the Nereides would not treat him with the equality he (and other males) was used to, but the strand was vast and long and no soul had to see of their encounter.

"If you ever visit the ocean, give us a howl. The sisters may not be receptive but I can show you around." Caiaphas paused, surprised by the words she had just uttered -- was this wolf, dappled as he was in moonlight, a friend? Had he found in her some affable strain or was he simply a tolerant wolf who was not put off by her idiosyncrasies? She afforded a weak smile, overcome suddenly by the exhaustion that had taken her previously. "It was nice to meet you, Mordecai. But I am tired." With that she abruptly slumped into the freshly overturned earth, watching him with an observant yet unobtrusive eye.
