Title: Surprise part 11, Fallout of an ill Master.
Author: charisstoma
Summary: Faisal taking the blame on himself for what’s happened. I think Adnan is entirely too waited on by all of his staff. Such things bring dependence on others for things that should be personally seen to.
Word count: 410


Faisal brought in the tray of hot chicken soup to his Master, carefully arranging the steaming mug of cinnamon apple cider next to the tall glass of cool orange juice. He’d been at his most solicitous of his Master’s wants, more than before, even going so far as to offer to type in the words dictated for sending to Steve and always making sure to allow the Master to review the missives before the Master himself hit the send key.

The Archive was feeling the effects of the Master Librarian having fallen to the djinn flu. Those who had taken on the responsibilities while the MDL had been on vacation had resumed those responsibilities.
Faisal’s own work load had increased by twice its previous amount; condensing reports, ensuring that important messages were shunted to the correct substituting individual, logging in all messages with their summaries for the MDL to review and who they had been disposed to, and then there was his own personal research, that mimicked Steve’s and previously Dick and Kain’s, of djinn pregnancy so that the Master would know what his lover was experiencing and be able to converse knowledgably with his Steve.

Faisal had made time to go back and read the recent blog entries that Steve had posted so far and found that he could actually like the young information djinn. At night when he lay between the pages of his container, he tried to compose a letter of apology for the pain that had he’d caused. It was difficult as he’d thought at the time that he’d acted in the best interests of his Master, protecting him. Faisal didn’t want to taint with lies any future relationship with Steve if hopefully the Master could once more win the other djinn’s love. Perhaps if he told his story of events as they happened, his thoughts straight forward, starting with his regrets. Perhaps Master Steve would listen, understand, and forgive not just Faisal but also the Master they had in common. Perhaps if he begged Steve to give the Master and Faisal another chance. .. Faisal turned and thumped the word ‘incomprehensible’ into better comfort under his head before turning to pull the word ‘cosseting’ to curl around into sleep.

Adnan’s fever hazed dreams were also troubled with plans and supplicating words. He fell into sleep with his hand curled around the open laptop where the words of Steve’s latest blog entry blinked on the screen.

Ahaha - the image of Faisal literally curling up in words is cute. And I guess, if I had to live inside an inanimate object, a book would be brilliant.

I'm curious to see where you're going wit hall of this. Or where it is dragging you perhaps. :P

It is dragging me. HELP I have only a vague idea what direction it's going. The djinnling may have many daddies by the time I'm done. [see earlier cry for assistance]

XD, poor Faisal, now i feel for him
I think that apologizing and telling his part to steve is not such a bad idea
I hope Steve will forgive Adnan before other cadidate will take the MDL's place in Steve's life...
and now i need to know what Steve's blog last entry says!

You have been talking to the procurer of plunnies haven't you? I have enough bite marks from those dratted things.
Luckily I think Steve's thoughts on what's happening are about due for exposure out into the world of LJ. So you are going to get your wish.. I think.

You should have received chapter 18 back to you by now. Let me know if I need to resend.

*grins* Megga. Yeah, that is the word if you've read all this. Can't believe how prolific the djinn fics have been. You still have brain cells left after all that reading? *shakes head at you* You are a very strong person.

Thank you for entering our world of djinn and commenting here. Love it. Welcome.
Am friending you so if anything is there not public you can read it.
Warning the 'Old Blood/Debt Slave 'Verse' is dark and mature in theme. More so than the 'Lustful Liaison' series which are djinn being ..well djinn.
