Moment of Inspiration (OPEN)

[Pandora D'Winter]

"Family pawsh there is a very short list of things my parents care about...almost as short as the things they really take notice and Saint dotes upon me and adores me when I'm around but he is far to busy to turn his thoughts towards me on many other occasions." Besides Saint was even engaged now, for the fourth time, and so that was taking up much of his time besides Saint and her had never been close. The only one in her family that would have truly cared been Eros and he wasn't family anymore, she shook her head to dislodge the thought thinking about it would do her no good. "As for friends the only one who cared even a little was Lucretia darling and I'm pretty sure that was only because of Chase." Ok so she didn't know if Ryan had cared when she left but he had been more of a game then a real friend anyway. "And classes are so sporadicly placed that I doubt the teachers really notice." Well actually she had to be more careful now because she was quite sure that if she disappeared again a certain teacher would notice and might even write to her parents who would suddenly know that she wasn't in school and start caring about how there daughter was behaving herself.

[Silver Blackwood]

"Oh. Well..." She'd certainly shot that comment down. He wondered how people his age managed to get so jaded. He didn't know who any of the people she'd mentioned were, so he didn't risk prodding any possible wounds by asking more about them. It certainly sounded like she was busy, though.

[Pandora D'Winter]

Pandora sighed dramatically before allowing a smile to spread across her face, "Sorry if I sounded harsh." she certainly hadn't meant to but she understood that he might take it the wrong way. "I actually prefer the not caring, and its not like I don't have people who care about me. I know Vannah and Lucretia would probably fight to the death for me if needed." And she would do the same for them. "Besides I think if my parents decided to care any more about my life I'd be suffocated." Besides she was sure that he mother was spending enough time figuring out acceptable suitors that Pandora would have to properly deal with over summer. She almost felt pity for them already, she didn't exactly deal nicely with her mothers choices. They were never people she liked or even found really diverting for any decent period of time.

[Silver Blackwood]

"Then someone does care," Silver said. He couldn't recall exactly why he'd said that in the first place, but he was right, if nothing else. "Why wouldn't you want that?" Silver couldn't understand that, and though he wouldn't press, he wondered, and he couldn't stop himself from asking.

[Pandora D'Winter]

"The opportunities for hurt goes down." Pandora said flippently though she was quite serious, it was the people who cared for one the most that could inflict the most damage or pain, sometimes without even meaning it. "Or in my parents case, the less they make drastic decisions involving my life. Which also keeps more people from being hurt." She had a tendency to lash out when people got over involved and tried to control her.

[Silver Blackwood]

"Oh," Silver said, then paused a moment before asking, "but doesn't that get lonely?" Like he was one to talk. He hadn't had a single person he'd really considered a friend at his last school, not at the time they'd moved, except his brother. But he'd had his brother, and they'd had their dad, so he was cared for, if not popular.

[Pandora D'Winter]

"Not at all, I've never been actually lonely a day of my life. If I want to be with someone I can always find someone to be with." Pandora said with a smile, though usually it was boredom that caused her to seek out random people. Random people were fun for a moment and there were always so many of them even if they turned out to be only dalliances and if she needed something more serious and steadfast she had that too. "Besides I thought I explained I have Vannah and Lucretia for keeps."

[Silver Blackwood]

"But you said that...Lucretia...was only because of Chase, or something like that," Silver said, a little lost at all the names. He had enough trouble recalling the names of people he knew without keeping straight the names of people he'd never even met. Why was he arguing the state of her relationships anyway?

[Pandora D'Winter]

"Thats the only reason she cared I was gone, not the only reason she cares about me. We have a long and complicated relationship." Pandora was pretty sure that she could do anything and Lucretia would forgive her for it, Pandora almost already had. "I don't do things simply." It was as close as she could get to a short and uncomplicated answer besides why was she spilling her guts and justifying herself anyway.

[Silver Blackwood]

Apparently not, Silver thought, but resisted saying. He searched his mind for a change of subject, but conversation wasn't his strong suit. The words only seemed to come when he had a quill in his hand and they knew they were going on paper. "Well, um, if you're happy, that's what matters, right?" he said hopefully. It was corny, but at least he wasn't standing there like an idiot.

[Pandora D'Winter]

Pandora was barely listening to what he said instead an idea formed in her mind and she didn't even pause for a moment of thought before following it through. She leaned over and kissed him, it was very like her to do it too. She had a tendency to act before thinking, it made life much more interesting though it did have a tendency to get her into trouble from time to time. But the trouble was worth it for the fun that she got from living life the way that she did. "Wait you don't have a girlfriend right?" She asked as she pulled away.

[Silver Blackwood]

Silver had backed away almost the instant her lips met his, all his instincts flaring at the unexpected motion into his personal space. It was the briefest kiss, but it still sent shock shooting through him. What was she doing?!

He was all confusion at her question as well. It took a moment for the words to penetrate, and Silver shook his head, but he was already moving, drawing his notebook up and taking half steps back. "I should go," he said. He barely knew her name, knew little about her other than that she bored easily. He didn't want this...whatever it was. "I've got to go." Silver turned and walked away before she could try to change his mind.

[Pandora D'Winter]

Pandora watched him go with a sigh and leaned against the wall, that was fun and he would get over it eventually. Besides his reaction had been so unexpected and entertaining, no one ever reacted like that, she might even be able to turn this into a little game of her own. At least she wasn't bored any more. She knew that he had probably misunderstood her question as well, it was just the last few guys she had kissed had already been involved and well she liked to know when she was getting into being a skanky mistress.
