Reaping What You Didn't Sow

Luciana had a habit of making herself as scarcely seen as possible. It let her see more interesting things than when she wasn't. And also get into a spot of mischief as well. It was her main form of entertainment with humans. Today was no exception. The school was always a good place to hang around. While quite a few of the students can see her even though she is invisible to the naked eye, she manages to play around. She wouldn't do anything harmful, unless she feels someone deserves it of course. Luckily though, she didn't have that kind of encounter yet. On her way, she saw a peculiar sight. A headless body with its head on its lap, reading a book. She approached from behind, hiding in case this person could see her. She'd just listen to the conversation happening. One-sided. This person must either be really lonely, or the dog could talk to him telepathically. It was one or the other. She watched the headless body playing with the dog, and it seemed as though the head was also enjoying itself. Still with her invisibility, she'd lower herself and rest against the back of the bench, leaning over the head and watching the dog and body play. "Looks like the two of them are having fun," she'd say quietly, just enough to be heard.

((No, you did fine ^^)) Nothing quite beats the look of surprise when people and animals hear a disembodied voice. Of course, nothing beats humans caught in the same situation. Especially urban explorers. A kick of a rock, a slam of a door or even a creak of the floorboards would be enough, but she wanted them freaked out. She could do a great child's voice. That was always the most effective, she found. Well, aside from peeking through an open window from the outside of a five-story building. These two weren't so scared though. The dog approached, and sniffed her leg. It was cute, she just had to pet her. Looking towards the now re-headed one, she could tell by the way he was looking right at her that he could see her perfectly. "Force of habit as some would say. I was never supposed to let myself be seen, except for those whose time is almost up. That is a complete lie," she'd immediately add with a chuckle after pausing for a moment. "Because it is sometimes great to be able to walk around and not worry that people might see you. I could be naked and no one would be able to see me. At least, no one in the human lands. Here, it simply serves as a way to let me know who can see me or not. Not that I have ever tried it here before," she chuckled again. She turned visible to the naked eye, holding her pose of leaning on the bench's back on her elbows. "I am Luciana. What is your name?"

"A girl can not ask someone's name?" she smirked. When she made herself fully visible, she took a moment to pet the dog again, since she enjoyed it and didn't bite. Hopefully now that she was exposed, the dog still wouldn't bite her. "Is it not how introductions usually go?" Luciana's gaze returned to the man who refused to tell his name and gave him a smile. His look gave it away. He was suspicious of her, and she couldn't rightfully fault him for that. It was fine, she found a bit of enjoyment in it. She let herself float over the bench and set herself down on it, hands on her knees. "At the very least, could I call you by something? Headless man or stranger are not that great to refer to someone."

"Hmmm, apology accepted," she'd nod and smile. Really, anyone who trusts someone so carelessly would be a bit dumb. You had to save some skepticism now and again, especially when con artists were all the rage today as it were in the older millennium. "Dullahan?" Eyebrows raised in surprise, she crossed her legs and rested an elbow on the higher knee to prop up her head as she leaned forward with interest. "Is that what you are?" she smiled widely and an almost childish gleam in her eye twinkled. "I never met one of you before, but I guess that is because the people I used to work for was very protective of their territory. So tell me, what is it like to be a Dullahan? I am curious how different we both are, and how similar too!"

"Only because I never met one of your kind before. I mean, I do not think I have. Older memories are a little hard to recall." With a smile, she shifted in her seat to get a bit more comfortable. A look of disappointment briefly flushed over her face when she heard that he wasn't reaping anymore. "Kind of like me then!" she'd flash him a quick smile before easing back as she was leaning forward a bit. "It does get boring after a while." Luciana seemed to reflect on something for moment before her eyes turned back to Aodh. "But surely you have stories to tell? Or, do you not like talking about it?"
