The genie circled Calista some more. The laughter was no longer a chuckle but much louder with a base element to it and it almost had its own echo. "Fear not young lady." The genie didnt speak he rumbled......<br/><br/>With a thought he covered nearly every surface with a candle and slowly he began to light each one, starting from the far end of the room to where he and Calista were at the other end of the room. Turning to face Calista he beamed at her as he continued to laugh a joyful laugh.<br/><br/>"Be not afraid young one. You have nothing to fear from me if you are clever young lady. I am the genie of the lamp and your servant of some sorts." Floating backwards he looked her up and down again "what strange clothes you wear. is nothing ever constant in this world?"<br/><br/>His eyes loved the sight of his new companion....."I knew your grandmother didnt i? i see her in your eyes......she was a little older than you are now. i hope you have as much passion as she did. you match her for beauty and....." he paused for effect "i hope i am not displeasing to the eye?" the genie said in his rumbling voice. showing off his chiselled torso and his legs faded in and out of view behind the smoky cloud.
