*She'd come carrying the tools she once used on a daily basis as a position as a maiden in a coven…her head bowed this was going to be the worst part of it all stepping away from the path she'd been segwayed into because she was too afraid to walk alone. She wore a hodded long linen robe of grey ultimate neutrailty now.*

It was a nice breezed after noon as Dempsy had to fly from New Oreleans up into Missouri. That was fun enough as she got to a small city and off a bit by car before coming to a small farm. Off the way as there was an orchard around it. The sun coming down and looking on as she could feel the warm breeze and almost the feeling of safety there as a man, easily in his 70s was standing out and patting a tree. he was dressed in the hanging trousers and a button down shirt but Looking up as she approached and smiled, "well.. another face.. youngin.. didn't need to bring the robes on.."
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 4:43:33 PM)
*She bowed her head* I'm afraid I had to show respect before I said what I had to say …because it will not be something that will make you smile further…*she sighed softly*
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 4:45:57 PM)
He frowned and nodded, as he turned to motion her to follow, walking along through the trees as he sighed, the touch of his, seeming to have that green thumb as he exhaled, "well.. Youngin, you got a name.. or simplly a face"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 4:47:33 PM)
*She followed along slowly* Dempsy Winson sir…*She continued to hold the robes she planned on burying them here as a symbol of her old life leaving her as she walked she looked around* I'm afraid my branch must be removed from the tree…so that I might plant it alone ...
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 4:50:04 PM)
He walked along till a opening in the grove came, there was a sense of power as he walked to take a seat and smield, rolling the sleeves up. Showing some scars on his arms as they were evidence of his blood letting. He motioned, "well.. Miss Winson..you can call me Fredricks, and that wil suffice. So what brings you out to my grove?
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 4:51:57 PM)
*She gave respect to the place of power and bowed her head a moment and then slowly opened her eyes to look at Fredricks* I wish to leave behind my bani title and walk away from the Verbena to walk my own path…*her voice soft as she looked at him*
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 4:55:30 PM)
He nodded a little as he rubbed the old chin, the skin a lot like leather as he sighed and nodded some. He motioned for her to sit. Seeming to think on it, "can I ask why you feel this is the way?"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 4:57:10 PM)
*She took the offered seat and looked to him slowly* Because for a very long time I didn't know who or what I was…I walked a path because it was put in front of me…not because I wanted to. Only reacently did I realize that I don't have to walk that path anymore…I can choose my own and to better myself I believe that walking the path alone for a time to firm who I am and what I believe will be best to help my growth.
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 4:59:41 PM)
He nodded a little as he seemed to think and exhaled, "so you wish to walk away from the verbanna.. do you have another you walk towards?
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:00:50 PM)
*She shook her head* As I said I will walk the path alone for quite some time…and I may not walk toward another Traditions way of thinking at all…it merely depends on where I end up at the end of that road…I'm not all that old in the ways of the willworkers…and had I had more strength of self and not wanted to please my teacher so much I would have done this earlier on...
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:02:23 PM)
He nodded a little as he seemed to think, "and you don't think that there is any place or chance for a youngin as your self to have a little. What if you come to want to return to us."
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:03:43 PM)
*She looked thoughtful for a long moment and then looked to him* I will cross that bridge if I come to it…I will of course accept if the Verbena wish not to have me in thier ranks for the rest of my days but I stand firm in my decision and if I lose this branch of the tree…so be it.
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:07:15 PM)
He nodded as he exhaled some as he looked aroudn and chuckled, "nothin I can motion or such to change your mind?"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:08:53 PM)
*She slowly shook her head* Unfortunately no…I've thought long and hard about this for quite some time…and if I want to further myself and get closer to the person I want to be I must walk this way…but I did wish to ask a final favor of you…if possible...
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:09:53 PM)
He nodded a little and chuckled, "ahh.. wanting to leave and a favor. I'll hear it.. "
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:13:16 PM)
I wish to place these here in the ground…among those they belong with…and perhaps someone from the tradition will find them one day and they will help them find the path they are destined to follow…*She looked to him *
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:16:23 PM)
he chuckled a little and nodded, "you mean giving up the tools and the markers to start a new.. like the bark must shed from?"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:16:58 PM)
*She slowly nodded* Indeed…I wish to plant them here in the hopes that for someone else it will grow…as it did not take root in me.
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:21:40 PM)
He nodded as he got up, walking over a little and starting to move the dirt away some in a spot that was open. Motioning as he motioend, "you'll have to dig the hole yourself.. but you can"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:24:12 PM)
*She nodded and slowly set the items aside on the ground as she got on hands and knees and didn't ask for tools she simply started to dig with her two hands. She was slow but steady with it knowing it would take her quite some time to get the hole large enough and deep enough but it seemed she was determined to do this the right way instead of rushing mother nature as she had before. This was important to walk away the proper way before starting her new path…she must not use her power to cheat nature like she had. She cried a little as most do at ending something…for the memories she had of the good times with her teacher as she quietly apologized to him as she dug but she knew he was looking on from somewhere else not on this earth anymore and because of the way he'd taught her he would be understanding…*
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:28:41 PM)
The Old man, watched and nodded as he made a few motions and looked at her as he sighed and walked up to pat her back nodded, "alright.. Miss Winson.. You no longer will carry the title of bani.. you'll have to work your way into your other philosphys and path.. but if you come back.. you start from the bottom up"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:30:07 PM)
*Once she buried the items she bowed respectufully to him* I completely understand and would not have it any other way after all it takes a tree a long time to take root and grow then blossom…its not a fast nor easy process…it is something you have to work toward and want *she offered him a soft smile at this*
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:32:28 PM)
He nodded as he patted her shoulder, "well.. Miss Winson.. I do wish you luck.. but if buisness is done. I'd suggest a cup of coffee and some pie before you go. Wouldn't be me right turning you away so easily"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:32:52 PM)
*She half smiled* And perhaps a sink to clean off the dirt but I would appreciate it.
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:35:03 PM)
He chuckled and nodded walking to motion her into the house and towards the kitchen sink, "go ahead miss Winson, wash up a bit. Showers in the bathroom if you want. i'll get the food ready"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:36:14 PM)
*She nodded and took advantage of the shower and after a time came down again cleaned up and in the shower she washed away all the time and effort and past she left behind in putting those items in the ground. She took her time to get clean and when she came back down to the kitchen once more there looked like in her eyes a weight had been lifted.*
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:37:49 PM)
he had the table there as a slice of apple pie was there and a cup of coffee. He nodded and chuckled, "well.. Miss Winson.. where you returning to after this?"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:39:06 PM)
New Orleans where I have to work on many things….*she slowly sat down to pick up the fork and start eating as she looked to him speaking* A lot has changed there recently and I think its a good place to face the person I was to who I will become.
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:43:43 PM)
He nodded alittle as he chuckled, "well.. Miss winson, you know they may be a little miffed at you there, but with us verbanna .. we accept it. Long as your not going to slide to the nephandi or the other side"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:45:28 PM)
*She shook her head* No I don't plan on walking those paths as they are not for me either…I don't know if the local Verbena will be pleased with me either…but I only hope they are as understanding as you…I didn't do this for popularity but for my self…for my learning.
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:46:25 PM)
He chuckled, "Miss Winson, I've seen friends come and go.. had them in many places. I know that sometimes a tree grows ina different spot. Just as one walks a different path. I know there are those who are in with us.. who should be elsewhere.. and vice versa. Its the choice of the one to make it right"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:49:35 PM)
*She nods at this and finishes the pie and sips her coffee* My teacher told me that the branches and roots span far and wide…following where they seem to need to go I just choose to grow apart…for a time…if my path leads me back it will if not I hold no grudge.
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:54:23 PM)
He nodded, "see.. thats the smart thing to think and go with Miss Winson, if you can do that then you'll get a few more notches on your belt and be a bit better"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:55:42 PM)
*She nodded slowly and looked over at the clock then him again* I thank you for the time you've afforded me…but I do have classes to teach tomorrow…and must return to New Orleans...
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:56:05 PM)
He nodded, "you want the fast way back.. or the plane ride.."
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 5:56:36 PM)
*She looked to him* Faster if possible…only because I don't want to be jet lagged for classes tomorrow...
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 5:59:52 PM)
He nodded a little as he chuckled and motioned to a door, "just.. give me a second." He got up and walked to the door, cutting a finger and rubbing it on the door handle as he smiled and looked at her, "best get going miss Winson.. that door will take you where you need to go"
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 6:02:20 PM)
*She wlaked through it only after giving him a gentle hug and then fading through the door*
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 6:02:47 PM)
(now literally does it take me anywhere i need to go cause there is some place specific she wants to go)
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 6:03:06 PM)
(where was she thinking to go?
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 6:03:25 PM)
(Right to where Koi is because she wronged him recently and wants to make amends.)
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 6:03:46 PM)
(mm.. shes gotta know the door she's coming out of)
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 6:03:56 PM)
(where am i coming out at?)
Mingus (Aug 7, 2011 6:04:08 PM)
(if you poke koi.. and get him to accept.. then sure.. you can go right to him
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 6:04:12 PM)
(okay )
Dempsy Winson (Aug 7, 2011 6:04:46 PM)
(ill run it with him later can I have my new icon now?)
