"What do you have there?"
She glanced up, saw him, and hid something behind her back, seemingly nervous. "Nothing. Well, something, I guess."
"What?" Usually he wasn't one to press, but the flash of white he'd seen had strangely intrigued him.
"No, it's nothing, really."
He stayed silent, just gazing at her. Three, two, one...
"Oh, fine!" She brought out a jar, alabaster from the looks of it. When she removed the lid, a sharp, bitter, but somehow pleasant smell emanated from it.
"Myrrh?"
"Yes."
"Ah...I understand. Thank you."
Sorry for the lack of updates, everyone...it happens, I guess.
To explain this, there's a song called Alabaster Box by CeCe Winans, and in it, there is a line that goes, As she poured her love for the Master/From her box of Alabaster.
The song is religious, so you don't have to listen to it at all, but let me explain. In the Bible, Mary poured out an alabaster box/jar of myrrh out on Jesus's feet, then wiped it clean with her hair. This signified a lot, so...yeah. So, in a way, she was pouring out her love for the Master.
It's Master Artemis, right? Yeah. :)
Hope you all enjoy this; if you have a problem with the Biblical connection, I'm sorry you feel that way. It's an amazing source of inspiration, and I believe in it, so...yeah.
Anyhow...enjoy. :)
