Quarrels and Quills

Rhiannon, Ewan, Charis and 'Sully' The dog sniffed Annie's hand, licked it, then sneezed. He flipped over onto his belly as though propelled by the sneeze itself, looking up at Annie, Charis and Ewan in turn, his tongue lolling out. The tongue was abruptly pulled in as he abruptly sat up in respons...

Nairn Tuckamore The pivot had been worthwhile. Summerset had eventually given up its books on the world's own magic and Nairn had collected them to herself as a hen gathered her chicks. They sat in piles around her at the long table she'd claimed. Before her, pages filled with precise lines in her ...

Cait McIvor She'd given the book an intense sniff when Jameson suggested a more nefarious origin than she'd originally imagined. Jameson's scent was on it, but there was someone else, too. An older scent, but nothing remarkable about it. At least, not at the moment. She filed the information away i...

Riff He breathed a sigh of relief when the vampires said they were willing to work together instead of keeping to themselves. The smile on his face was perhaps larger than most people were used to seeing, but it was offered so naturally that hopefully they'd see how genuine the feeling was. "O...

Rosemary Bain She took Lucie in her hand, whispering words over her as the bird lay on her back cradled by Rosemary's fingers. When offered a droplet of water, the jackdaw drank it down greedily. The witch slowly gave the bird additional droplets until she turned her bill away. She flipped over ont...

Nairn Tuckamore She thought Ulga was giving up a little too quickly - at least, she had once spent weeks researching a single topic in the bowels of the Priory's 'secret' library, so the fact that the woman was declaring defeat after less than a day seemed hasty. At first. Nairn soon realized that ...

Doctor Lokin He could almost be jealous, but that would have meant denying his principles. Of course, most the scientific populous would laugh at the idea of his having principles - but that was only because most of them were neither true scientists, nor true Imperials. In the case of having the la...

Rhiannon, Ewan, Charis and 'Sully' The twins had spent most of the van ride to the shelter explaining dogs and pets in general to Annie, who had a myriad of questions. They had never owned a pet either, so some things they had difficulty answering and Rhiannon could tell that at times they were ref...

Hooded people The two figures stood on either side of Orla, facing the crystal ball, faces impassive. The woman's talent remained to be seen. Just because she used the Art did not mean she could ply it. The first image was only interesting by the connection of the main character (so to speak) to th...

Padawan Dallyn It was nerve wracking, moving the Ratatakki woman when she had such a tenuous hold on life, but Master Visper was right - she needed a bacta tank if she was going to survive. It seemed so surreal as they moved over the uneven ground, slowly inching closer and closer to the ship and h...
