Hepsie sits up late
Hepsie had helped the other young woman into her nightgown and she stood facing her. She could not help but be slightly disturbed by the blank look on the Mella’s face. Hepsie hoped she had not hit her head too hard when she had fallen. Hepsie had examined her when she arrived back at the ships and decided that Mella had not suffered any external injuries, concluding she must have hit her head.
Not that she was able to ask the nun whether she was hurt. She would not speak a word to her and Hepsie had been told that she never talked.
“Let’s be taking your hair down for you now dearie”, Hepsie said as cheerily as she could muster.
She maneuvered Mella over to the mirror and began to carefully pull out the pins holding her hair in its place.
Mella stared intently at her reflection as though she did not recognise what she saw there. Hepsie stole the occasional glance as she unpinned her hair and began to wonder if perhaps the nun was having some form of memory loss, so frightened and confused was her gaze.
As her dark hair began to flow out in luxurious waves, Mella closed her eyes and would not look in the mirror again even after Hepsie had finished.
“Why look at all this beautiful you’ve been having up there under you hood”, she admired, trying to make the older woman smile.
It did not work and she kept her eyes shut tightly until Hepsie had turned her away from the mirror.
“Now you just be waiting yourself there for a minute my pretty while I fix up this here bed for you”, she leant down and vigorously plumped the pillow, which unfortunately did not do much to make the lumpy sack more comfortable.
“Come on now dearie… a sleep is what you be needing and you’ll be feeling like everything is being better in the morning”, she gently reached out and touched the other woman’s arm, leading her over to the bed.
She stood over her as Mella carefully got into bed. Hepsie could see her trembling and she felt a strong feeling of pity for this young woman, not much older than herself who had endured so much.
She bent down to fuss over Mella, pulling the blankets over her and tucking her in. She thought that the nun needed someone to take care of her for a change and she didn’t mind being the one to do it.
She sat in the room for a long time until she saw that the other woman’s shivering had ceased and she could hear from her heavy breathing that she was soundly asleep.
Hi guys… sorry about the change back to Hepsie’s original skin. I took these pics ages ago then decided I didn’t want this part of the story to happen till later. I did retake the pics at the church (previous two posts) because I decided my ruined church was really cruddy compared to the cool one someone else made
Also the pics are without lighting mod and generally not so good so sorry. I guess I want to keep moving on with the story.
We want to keep moving on with the story, too, so the pictures are fine!
I know I’ve said it before, but Hepsie is so adorable. “Why look at all this beautiful you’ve been having up there under you hood!” Maybe not the most appropriate compliment to pay a nun, but it was too cute.
So is it significant that Mella did not seem to recognize herself in the mirror? Is she still Mella? Or is she the new Pisliskurja?
That’s fine, Verity! Hepsie is such a caring soul–fancy skintone or not. Mella couldn’t have anyone better caring for her.
I think Hepsie is super-cute too. I miss her new skin though. Oh well *sigh* it will be back soon.
There will be more about Mella very soon… tonight even!
Hi. I argee with the others and think Hepsie looks just fine whether it’s the old skintone or the new one. and I want to keep moving on with the story too.
Cool! can’t wait until the next update I want to see what else happens to poor Mella.
Keep Simming!
See ya
Hi guys… I probably don’t need to say this but just in case anyone missed it… I updated twice yesterday and sometimes want to be doing that in the future as well. I know you are all used to getting only one update at a time from me so just letting you know to scroll down more just in case I have updated a couple of times
No offense to you, but I couldn’t help but notice a glimmer from a plumbbob (I think) when I looked through. It plagues me too, but I think typing in plumbbobtoggle off gets rid of it until you reenter the lot or go to a new one.
I was trying not to comment so I can read faster, but I love Hepsie! She’s adorable, and helpful, and kind. She’s amazing, absolutely one of the nicest characters around. Unless she has . . . *drumroll* . . . a dark secret!
Oh thanks for that Aithne! I didn’t even notice. I took these pics so long ago actually and I guess I wasn’t so simspic savvy back then. That being said… I had no idea that you could get rid of the plumbob! Hurrah! I always forget to switch characters before I go into camera mode and then have to go out again. Thankyou! You have saved me a lot of angst
