Taylor's Revelation

[Alicia Swather]

"Ha! You little devil!" Alicia exclaimed. She sat down next to Rosa. Alicia was much more interested in her situation than discussing strategy. "I knew there was something off about you. This explains a lot! That was really bold of you to go in place of your sister. So what's going to happen to her? Is she going to be all right?"

[Taylor Shorthorn]

Taylor was simply enjoying not being trapped under a large mass of curly hair at the moment so he felt like being a bit more open than usual. "I really hope so," he began with a look of concern, "she just had a kid ya know?" His entire manner of speech was a lot more relaxed now and felt a lot more like one would expect a young man raised on a ranch would sound like. He looked up at Alicia with a smile, "Cute kid ya know? Looks a lot like our mother." He pulled his totem, a small carved wooden statue of a young child, out of his satchel and regarded it. "It's a good likeness. Cute don't you think?"

He set the wooden statuette on the hard ground in front of him. "See its just not right to tear a young mother from her child and the father," he paused, "Good guy that guy, offered to take her away where they couldn't find her. His family has a lot of...resources so it seemed possible but the day before all the plans got delayed by a day. And that day was the absolute worst day to be delayed on." He stretched his arms and legs and looked back at Alicia, "Man dresses suck... How do you all deal with those things day in and out? I mean the ventilation is nice and all but its just not...ergonomic?" he ended questioning his word choice.

He reached down and picked up the statuette putting it back in his satchel before continuing, "Anyway the plan was to switch places in case of the worst and she would run off with him and all would be well in the world. I'd just have to die so that they'd have no reason to look for her ya know? My life for the entire future life of a baby. Decent deal in my book," he said with a smirk. "ALTHOUGH," he began a bit loudly, "it seems like they were on to me from the beginning. I just wish I had told Rosa I was doing this so I could have had her make me a less annoying wig."

Taylor met eyes with Alicia realizing he had been neglecting to make much eye contact so far, "But then I am ranting. You probably have more specific questions."

"Oh and before you ask," he added quickly, "I am not actually into dudes."

[Ayla Farrow]

Ayla listened as Taylor explained how he had taken the place of his sister. It was like he was an entirely different person. Well... really he was. But his personality was all knew now that he was himself. As Rosa, he had seemed shy, shady, and reserved.

"Well I'm glad you finally came clean! I knew there was something you were hiding. I'm glad its just this and not something more dangerous. That is all that you were hiding, right?"

Taylor considered this, "Well there is ONE other thing..." He reached down to his waistline and pulled up his shirt revealing a tattoo on the side of his chest in the form of a stylized stallion, "I mean its kinda tacky but its my horse, Nimbus."  He paused before continuing, "Wow, that's even lamer when I say it out loud.  Its just horses are a big deal on a ranch and I had him since I was a little kid ya know?"  He let the shirt fall back down over his chest before looking up and smiling, "My dad would KILL me if he found out I got it...but I guess that's pointless to say now," he finished with a laugh.

Taylor bit his bottom lip slightly, "I think that's it."  

He looked up at Ayla directly, "Why what did you want to know?"
