Brigid awoke in the woods near her house.
It wasn't the first time she'd done so, not here and not at home. Being so connected to the Earth meant that often she'd hike in the outdoors and sometimes rest herself against a tree and fall into a nap, or even full sleep.
This was, though, the first time she'd awakened at the sun's rise, naked as the day she was born, with no knowledge of how she'd gotten there.
"Right then. Somethin's more than a little off with ye, lass," she told herself even though there was no one around to hear her but the trees.
There was something else off, or maybe on was a better word for it. She felt rested, truly rested, for the first time in weeks. As she sat, then stood up and stretched, Brigid did a little self-inventory and smiled. Gone was the nagging fatigue, the fuzziness in her mind. Instead, there was a feeling of being able to take on anything that came her way.
She laughed and dashed for the water for a quick ocean swim as the sun cleared the horizon. She'd revel in the water a bit, change, then head in to the shop. Her fingers nearly itched to get to her clay, to see what it would tell her to create today.
Find Brigid either running/swimming naked near her house, or later at her shop bent over her wheel

Not that he was complaining or criticizing, especially not since he was as naked as she was.

Date: 2014-10-12 09:56 pm (UTC)She could see enough of the chest to note that it was a fine one and had no doubt that the rest followed that trend. Instinctively, she licked the salt water from her lips.

no subject
Date: 2014-10-12 10:20 pm (UTC)Robert could tell that she was doing something to the water and the siren part of him hated that she was manipulating the ocean but he pushed that aside. She wasn't hurting anything other than his desire to see her naked.
"Where did you come from? I don't see a towel anywhere on the beach."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-12 10:27 pm (UTC)She arched a brow at him again. "As I'm sure I'm th'only one livin out here, I'd ask ye the same about how ye got here."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-12 10:31 pm (UTC)Robert enjoyed the view as Brigid pointed, not of her house but her. It was only a bit but like the rest of her, it was beautiful. He also found it rather interesting just how casual she seemed to take waking up, naked in the forest.
"Go out and about in the woods naked often, do you?" He asked with a smile. "And I woke up naked in my own bed but decided to go for a long swim."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-12 10:34 pm (UTC)Brigid frowned, just a little, as she thought about it. "I often walk naked in th'forest. Ye Yanks are a bit more conscious of it than most and th'animals certainly don't mind it, but I didn't do it intentionally this time. I went t'sleep in m'bed and woke in th'forest. As I finally slept soundly after weeks of trouble, maybe I needed th'connection. I'm not terribly worried about it."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-12 11:49 pm (UTC)"And I can't even admit that I knew the view would be worth it. And I don't imagine anyone would mind if you walked through the forest naked."
Which wasn't entirely true, because this was New England and people had a certain sense of propriety in these parts. Those types of people were absolutely no fun though.

Date: 2014-10-13 12:08 am (UTC)She eyed what she could see of his chest, a very impressive chest at that, and grinned. "Definitely celebrated."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-13 12:21 am (UTC)"I've never been overly concerned with modesty," Robert admitted. As a siren, he often found himself naked or scaled in the water and it felt completely natural to him.
"And what sort of celebration did you have in mind?"
no subject
Date: 2014-10-13 12:27 am (UTC)Once her feet touched the sand beneath ocean, she started walking and shed the water as she did so, returning it to it's home from her body and hair until she stood on the shore, completely dry. Okay, so, she was showing off just a little, but Jack was a powerful man in many ways. Something told him that letting him know she had power of her own wouldn't be a bad idea.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-13 12:42 am (UTC)Diving under the water his siren form rippled over him, scales flowing over his body. When he rose out of the water he left them on for a moment as he walked up the beach, considering it only fair that she saw what he was. A moment later, the dark grey, metallic looking scales rippled away from his body, leaving just his skin behind.
"Well, I suppose a celebration with oat cakes isn't a complete disappointment."

Date: 2014-10-12 10:41 pm (UTC)He's damp with sweat and breathing heavily by the time he gets to the water, and he does a bit of a double table at that sight of a girl swimming naked through the waes. Davin grins and gives an amused shake of his head, ready to keep running, but the girl surfaces again and Davin has to lift his hand to shade the glare and get a closer look.
"Brigid?" He calls out, using the proper pronunciation. "Is tha' you?"
no subject
Date: 2014-10-12 10:59 pm (UTC)She climbed out, unashamed of her state of undress and not bothered by it in the slightest.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-12 11:56 pm (UTC)"Not as well as yourself, it'd seem." He laughs and looks around, not spotting any towels or clothes. "What are ya up to out here, other than runnin' 'round naked as the day y'were born, that is?"
no subject
Date: 2014-10-13 12:06 am (UTC)It seemed the most logical explanation to her since she'd never lived so long in a city-type environment. On the family farm, she was never out of touch with the Earth for so long as she was here.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-13 06:08 pm (UTC)Davin frowns a bit, brows furrowed in concern as he tilts his head. He sort of wishes he had something to offer her for coverage, but she doesn't seem to mind. He finds himself glancing at her breasts, trying to see what the big deal it. They're pretty, he guesses. If you're into that.
Wow, he's being rude. He blinks and does his best to look back at her face without it being obvious that he was looking anywhere else.
"Is that normal for ya then?" Davin asks. "Wakin' up in the woods?"
no subject
Date: 2014-10-13 06:34 pm (UTC)"No," she laughed, then sent the water and salt from her body and hair with a few mumbled words in old Irish. "Wakin in m'bed or in the cot in m'studio's the normal, but if the Earth's what I needed, reckon m'body found a way fer it t'be so. I shouldn't be holdin ye up on yer run though. I am sorry to have disturbed ye. Would ye like a bit of water b'fore ye continue?"
She noticed where his eyes landed and since his eyes remained interested rather than lustful, which she'd have expected from a boy his age, she drew her own conclusions. Considering how she'd seen Liam attempt such when he'd been struggling, she thought she most likely had the right of it.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-13 06:43 pm (UTC)"Well, if you're sure it's okay, then I won't worry about ya." He shakes his head and shifts his weight from foot to foot, stretching a little. "I'm about done, so you're not keepin' me."
He's gotten over the shock of her nudity pretty quickly, but then he blinks and looks at her. "Unless you want me to get out o' your hair, 'course."
He watches the way that she manipulates water with obvious interest, ears straining to hear the old words whispered into the air.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-13 08:05 pm (UTC)"I think m'hair can stand ye in it," Brigid laughed and started walking towards her house. "Come on then. I can feed ye tea, if ye'd rather. And oatcakes if y'have a taste for 'em."
Once inside, she picked up the sundress she'd obviously discarded the night before and slipped it over her body. "I may not be much for cookin, but I can make m'mam's cakes well enough."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-14 12:07 am (UTC)"I'd be a fool to say no t'that." He follows her into the house and looks around interestedly, chuckling to himself as she pulls on her dress. He's sure a lot of guys in this town would kill to be in the position he just was.
He takes a seat at the table and spots a metal travel mug in the dish rack, grinning innocently up at her as he holds out his hand and makes the mug come soaring into it. "Maybe I will take that water, if the offer's still there."
Maybe they can have a magic-off.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-14 12:36 am (UTC)Brigid watched the mug travel the length of her kitchen and quirked a grin at him. "Handy, that. Ye'd come in handy in th'shop when I leave m'tools on the bench and don't bring them t'my wheel."
She went into the fridge for a bottle of water then looked at him over her shoulder. "Are ye able t'turn the kettle on for me?" she asked with a cheeky smile indicating the electric kettle on the counter.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-14 12:40 am (UTC)He lets go of the kettle because he doesn't need to be touching it after the initial spark, and then smiles up at her. With a small twitch of his nose, the metal lid of the kettle lifts along along with Davin's eyebrow.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-14 01:00 am (UTC)"The rest I'll have t'do the boring, human way," she replied with a wink as she went to the breadbox for the cakes.
