Lanadelle

Okay. Okay okay okay.

I met someone today! Well, not really met. I saw her! And I cannot stop thinking about her!

I was saying hello to guests at the lily. With a ren’dorei I barely know. Gorja, I think. Everyone was going to the bar, so I started walking too.

And then I heard it! This voice! Not loud, but you heard it anyway! Like she thought everyone should listen!

She called another shal'dorei a bad word! Right there! In front of everyone! She didn't wait at all!

I gasped! I actually gasped! I didn't even know what was happening, I just heard the word and my body moved before my brain!

She turned. Looked at me. Raised one eyebrow! How do people do that? I tried in the mirror and I just look strange! And I swear she saw straight through me.

I looked away. I looked away! I stared down Sargeras and demon hordes, but I looked away from this woman!

But she said, "That's what I thought."

That's what I THOUGHT!

Like she already knew who I was! Like she knew something about me!

I asked Komet who she was. "Who's the grouch?" And she said she's one of her best friends! Lanadelle! A warlock, apparently! I guess you don't summon demons by being quiet!

But here's the thing I can't shake: I want to see her again!

Not to prove her wrong, exactly. Or maybe yes, to prove her wrong, but also... I want to know what it feels like to be that sure! To say what you mean and never say sorry!

She was scary! She was magnetic!

Is that strange? It feels strange. I've never wanted to see someone again because they scared me a little!

Heh, well, she seems to be at the Lily a lot, so I guess I'll be watching for her!

P.S. I keep thinking about that eyebrow raise!
