[11] words like rain, how sweet the sound

The Other-Wordly Meme

Words are magical things; they can have so many lovely connotations and varied histories.
Words have family trees just like people. They are linked to each other.
Some words are full of flavor and color and describe things you never suspected there were words for.
Words are why we're here.

The meme is simple: post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line.
List any preferences you may have ("No Shipping," "No Smut," etc.), if you decide to leave the next step up to responders.
Responders (or original posters, if they so decide), go to the Other-Wordly blog and hit 'Random' until you get a word. Use the word as a prompt for an RP scenario. Do this several times, if you like. Mix and match. Have fun with it!
Don't stop with a word, though! Words can often have etymologies that are at odds with their current meanings. Words can shift connotations over time. Let your imagination carry you with the words as its wind.

TI feel like i should apologize but I am pretty sure this is just going to be awkward and adorable.

Will is small today, sprawled on the couch playing with a coloring book and listening to music that Hannibal has put on for him. He seems at ease but his toes are curled tight and he's trying hard not to be nervous.

He's meeting Bev today. Not for the first time, granted, but the first time he's like this. He's waiting for her to show up but more than that, he's waiting for her to turn away, to not want anything to do with him after this.

He knows her though, and beyond that, she's been briefed on what's going on, so she'snot walking in blind. He's pretty sure she won't turn him away after this but there's still a small part of him that is terrified.
