So, I have these two characters. Ceinwen and Thornburn
Ceinwen's name means "blessed and beautiful," loosely. She is a maternal cousin of Aelgifu - that is, she comes from the side of the family that provided the glowy light bits but not the horns. She looks loosely like the Meez in the DW icon.
Thornburn was apparently a typo *headdesk;* THORBURN comes "From the Old Norse name Þórbjörn, which meant "Thor's bear" from the name of the Norse god Þórr (see THOR) combined with björn "bear"." http://www.behindthename.com/name/torbjo12rn
I know about him that he is generally brown, and well-spoken. Also, taller and broader than Ceinwen.
They need Changes. Ideas?

30 Days Second Semester: 16, Coming Home
Aug. 22nd, 2011 03:46 pmFor the 30 Days Meme Second Semester, for the prompt "16) write a scene that takes place at the end of a long road trip."
John Stollich never knew, when he got home from a tour, what would greet him. Sometimes he thought that was why he stayed on the road as long as he did, coming home only, really, to cut another CD. He’d come home one time, and Onyx would be wrapped around his leg, best-daughter-ever, happy to see him, chattering about what she was learning in school, don’t-ever-leave-again-Dad. The next time, she’d be distant and chill, or flat-out nasty.
The nannies weren’t any better. At best, they lasted a year, year and a half. It was either John that turned them off, or Onyx, or the sometimes-strange things that happened around her, or her insatiable and incorrigible curiosity.
Bringing her on the bus had, because of that curiosity, never been a good option. He did so for very short periods of time, when the bus had been well-scrubbed and censored. The last thing he wanted to do was explain to a prepubescent kid what condoms were for.
He braced himself, getting rid of all thoughts of condoms, groupies, and drugs, and opened his front door. Was this going to be good visit, or a bad one?
