Quarrels and Quills

Sayen

Another bird call. This time, she could tell where the sound had originated. It would help her send a reply message without having to be as loud.

Of course, what sort of reply was expected?

Sayen contined to work at rhe dirt wall before her, pondering on this new conundrum. Perhaps her ...

Keeva

She had startled when Eve spoke. The movement of the tree roots had captured most of her attention. Eve's voice sounded...odd. The woman was clearly badly hurt. She hadn't moved and Keeva could sense the heat gathering at points of injury at various parts of her body. It was hard for her to ...

The Agent

"Well, that was a short conversation."

I spoke aloud, without taking my eyes of the diplomat's bodyguard. In truth, it was a guess on my part. I did not recognize the signal. My slicing did not reveal any particular network trace - which was precisely why I thought it might be a ...

Sayen

They were a monstrous ungrateful lot, considering she'd spent all that time digging them out from under an avalanche outside of Hoelbrak. She had lain aside her mace and dug each one out with her shield. Once she'd pulled the last of the strange pale men to safety, well, she could only ...

Fira-Nar

Fira watched intently as Anakita carefully wrote out the words from the book on a piece of paper. While the reading issue had come up sort of by accident, she was now prepared - and determined - to not let out the fact that she couldn't write either. The two seemed to go together, so ...

Rhiannon McIvor

A great relief came over her when he said he felt the same way. She had thought she had read him correctly - his interest, that is. Those lingering glances they shared, even before he knew who she was. The light flirting at the museum had cemented her resolve.

"You're right ...

the Agent

"Please, you may call us...Vector. We are pleased that you have heard of our work and would be willing to share our experiences with you of course."

My eyes slid over to stare at the back of his head for a moment, moved over to Umber without returning her nod of acknowledgement, then ...

Lokin

"Valli, you didn't tell me you were in the cloning business." he began,before shaking Linc's hand. "Strong genetics, strong grip. A pleasure, I'm sure."

Lokin fell back into a waiting posture, finger to his temple, as the two Vallis openly discussed something they did not want to share. He ...

Fira-Nar

As much as she didn't want to hear what Anakita was saying, the Ranger had already been quite helpful - and she was someone who seemed to care about her life and whether or not she could read things. It was enough to get her to back down from the high of possibly solving a problem to ...
