Well, who's going to ridicule you?

*turns to the voice and wraps a towl around her tightly*

I don't know, but I know people are probably staring and pointing...
I'm sure they are.

You look fine.

Hank silently wondered if she were blind.

really? I mean.... my friend picked it out for me, since the one Nate got aparantly looked far less appropiate, and well... *blinks a few times, showing milky eyes*

Your not just saying that to be nice?

Sweetheart, you're very pretty. You don't have to worry.

*blushes* thank you sir.

*she lets go of her towl with one hand and holds it out*
I'm Mag.

Hank kissed her hand.

See you later, Mag.

*blushing even more*

Your going?

I'm afraid so, sweetheart.

Do you even have a name?

There was a gust of wind, and then, nothing.

*....*

Sir?

Rupert blushes and sighs nervously.

*hears him and wraps her towl around her tightly*

hello?

He startles and considers just walking away, but that would be very rude.

Hello. His voice is quiet, with a soft Irish lilt.

I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you.

*smiles and makes sure the towl covers everything*

It's okay, I heard you... I just wanted to make sure you weren't a squirrel or something.

Don't worry. I'm often mistaken for small rodents. It's an easy mistake to make.

Awkward pause.

You were talking about feeling like looking ridiculous?

*giggles* no I just mean... your very quiet. Most men I can hear from thirty yards away.

*looks down*

I don't... usualy dress like this. When I do- Nate has to be there to make sure of everything and that I don't look like a fool. But he aparantly got cheeky when he picked out my bathing suit, and Marni had to get me a new one.

I still think I look ridiculous.

The suit looks ridiculous but you don't.

*blushes*

thank you.

*holding her hand out* I'm Mag.

*reassuring* You don't. You look like a movie star. From the 1950s. Very classy.

*a very small smile*

are you sure? Marni picked it out and I know what kind of clothes she wears and... *wraps her towl around her tightly*

It's at least more modest than what Nate bought for me.

I'm sure. As far as swimsuits go, you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer one.

thank you miss...

*holds out one hand, using the other to hold onto her towl*

I'm Mag.

*takes her hand*

I'm Blue. It's nice to meet you.

*smiles*

Blue? Your named after a colour?

*sighs* Yeah. My mom - she collected butterflies, but she could only catch Cassius Blues, and so she named me Blue - it's weird, I know.

No... It's pretty. I promise.

Not weird or anything.

Thank you. *smiles* It's... gotten its fair share of attention over the years. Teachers, in particular, struggle with it - I actually had a teacher tell my dad he should rechristen me once.

Really? Thats... that is very odd.

The only issue I have is with the press... the've taken to calling me The Blind Mag when they arn't calling me a trained bird.

*frowning* They shouldn't say that sort of thing.

Are you a performer?

*shrugs* It's the press and paparattizi.

Yes, *smiles* I'm a singer, or.... well, sorta. I've mostly worked up in Washington and at Gallas, but Rotti is going to build an opera house for me. I'm mostly in the news because of Marni.

Still...

*very impressed* You sing opera? I... I don't think I've ever met someone who sang opera before. That's really incredible.

Who's Marni?

*smiles* thanks, I'd like to think I'm pretty good.

Marni's my best friend, and she's kinda seeing this buisness tycoon, and I'm kind of seeing the family doctor ~~soon to be heir~~ so... we get in the news a lot.

I'm sure you are, if someone is building you an opera house.

*smiles* Sounds fun. I... well, I tend to fly under the radar. There isn't much newsworthy about me.

*blushes* I just hope I'm not going to fall on my face or something really dumb.

You'd be surprised... I never really thought I was that impressive and now? *blushes again* we're going to be on the next Newsweek cover.

Newsweek. Wow- that's... *at a momentary loss for words*

I guess you really never know, do you?

*shrugs again* It doesn't really matter to me... I just tried to smile during the shoot...

Nope. Life is funny that way.

It is. My dad has had a bunch of articles published in... well, lesser-known magazines, I suppose you'd say... but I honestly can't imagine myself being in one, or on the cover...

*a little embarrassed* I probably sound very starstruck right now. I assure you I'm not usually this silly.
