"Stop right there Miss," a rough voice halted Evelyn's advance. "Don't know how you managed to get in, but this is a very important meeting for big grown ups only."
Evelyn stared silently up at the much taller man, a blank disinterested look on her face. Why was she being stopped? Wasn't...
Evelyn's eyes lit up excitedly as Gwen told her she had books about the fae. They were real?! And they were creatures of nightmare? What could be better? "...See? I told you they were real Lulu..." she said a bit of smugness in her voice.
She only partly listened as Gwendolyn spoke to Lucinda...
Evelyn raised her head to look up at her grandmother. "...Do you have any books about fairies or other magical creatures?" she asked quietly. "Its is so hard to find books about them... And all the ones I do find are picture books for children with made up stories..."

Evelyn stared at Lucy with a blank, unblinking stare. "...We should just get it over with..." she spoke after a moment. Truthfully she was excited to see her family again, she just didn't know how to express it. It had been some days since she had seen her mother, who she adored and was very...
Evelyn lifted her gaze from the heavy tome that she had just finished reading and rubbed her eyes. Maester's Grimoire of Advanced Daemonology and the Application Thereof. It had been such an engrossing read that she hadn't noticed the passing of time. "Hmm... Morning already..." Hoisting herself...
