Removed from the Drama (open)

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru lay on her stomach on an overstuffed couch. A leatherbound book was open in front of her and a pencil was flying over the paper, scratching slightly and filling the room with the noise. There was a fireplace in front of the couch, it was popping and keeping away the cold that was trying to permeate the castle from the outdoors. It had almost been nonstop the last few weeks, ever since that wretched boy had shown up, and she hadn't had much time to just sit and think, or to write.

What she was writing was a strange mixture of everything that she had been feeling, a mix of the horror of Emilian and the strange feelings she had towards Chase, feelings that she wasn't even sure what they were. Before she had started writing everything had been causing her a lot of stress, but once she had gotten the first few lines written out, everything, all the tension, flowed from her mind to her fingers to the paper, leaving her at ease.

Ryan was walking up to the Room of Requirement to think of things when he saw the door already there. He opened the door and saw Dru and knocked on the door "Can I come in?"

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru looked around, her pencil stopping for just a moment, "Yeah, sure." She didn't exactly want to be around people, but she wasn't going to turn him away. She looked back down, reread her last line, and went back to writing.

[Ryan Magby]

Ryan walked in and looked around for a second and sat down "Why are you sitting up here all alone?"

[Druscilla Grace]

"Just to get away, write some," Dru answered, still looking down at the pages. She chewed her lip for a second to think of what next to write, and then went right back to it. She didn't really mean to seem rude, there were few people she would stop writing for once she had really started.

[Ryan Magby]

Ryan nodded "Do you want me to leave you to your writing?" he said not wanting to distract her.

[Druscilla Grace]

"You're not bothering me," Dru said, somewhat absentmindedly. "If you want to stay you can, just know that I'm probably not stopping." She was willing to talk and write at the same time, she was able to do both, as long as it didn't bother him to talk while she was writing.

[Ryan Magby]

Ryan nodded and looked at her "I understand, wouldnt expect you to stop. So how have things been going?"

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru stopped writing for just a second, "That's according to what you're talking about." In some aspects, her life was going wonderfully, but then there was Emilian, who had invaded all of their lives. After a few seconds she continued writing.

[Ryan Magby]

Ryan watched her "Well let me put it like this, taking out anything that has happened with Emilian, how has your life been?"

[Druscilla Grace]

In other words, how was Chase? There wasn't really very much changed in Dru's life other than him and Emilian. "Pretty good." The thought of Chase brought a smile to her face, and she tilted her head down a little farther, causing her hair to hide her face.

[Ryan Magby]

Ryan smiled some "Thats good. So have you talked to a new girl named Adara" he asked hoping that she had talked some sense into her.

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru thought for a moment, she recognized the name, but she couldn't quite.... "Oh, yes, down by the lake the other day. Interesting girl, a little strange, but nice." A faint blush rose in Dru's cheeks as she remembered what they had talked about and the description she had had to give.

[Ryan Magby]

Ryan watched her "What did yall talk about?"

[Druscilla Grace]

"A few things, writing, Emilian...." she trailed off, thinking, before continuing, "She didn't know what sex was." Dru looked over at him for just a second, a confused look in her eyes, before looking back down at her book.
