Quarrels and Quills

Riff Riff hugged his friend with abandon, managing somehow to not lift the other man off the ground in the process. He laughed and shook his head. "Maria and I did say we should get out ahead of the littles' gossip chain with this one." Then, remembering that Hamza obviously wouldn't know...

The Agent I watched the SIS agent stalk away, as I pulled out my holopad. He was a moody one. No matter. I'd soon find out the true state of things from someone I trusted. At least, I would have if she had picked up the call. I tried again. Frenka did not pick up. So, it was as he said - the Evocii...

Teizi Lin Odessen. Yet another planet she hadn't been to, as her padawan would have pointed out if he were here and not piloting her vessel filled with people and belongings fleeing Volent's attack on Rishi. She sensed that all was well - or perhaps, it was more that she didn't sense anything amiss...

The Agent I wasn't sure what kind of relationship Theron Shan thought we had, but this tenuous peace was going further than I thought appropriate. Pulling me aside like we were colleagues? And yet, we did seem to have mutual interests, if not mutual goals. I supposed this working relationship could...

Nairn Tuckamore There was something entirely too convenient about the arrival of this second vampire. His concern. His knowledge of the particular blade Gwindor had been impaled with. His knowledge of the relationship between Gwindor and Sellia. Sellia had allowed the man to help Gwindor, but Nairn...

Rosemary Bain At least this time she was going to the Ministry of her own accord - not to plead her case with the powers that be regarding the disagreement between her and Auror Barclay - but she still felt distinctly uncomfortable. The bustle was unlike that of the school. Official. Self-important...

Cait McIvor She honestly wasn't sure what she would have done if Mr. Stalwart hadn't walked in when he did. Before walking in on the scene, Cait had been prepared to have access to the sword denied. She could have lived with that - and simply stolen it back later. But that was only if it were safel...

Rhiannon McIvor As the last notes of the harp song faded, she felt they carried the last of her stress away with them. She closed her eyes and sighed softly into the body of the instrument, her breath fogging the polished maple. How she'd missed music. Playing music. Hearing music. The deep longing...

Charis Thomas She pushed the tears away with the sides of her palm - one cheek, then the other - with determined strokes. As much as she was embarrassed to be caught crying, she leaned into Imiel's hand. The contact felt good. Grounding. And she realized that he was right. She was tired of being st...

Riff When the young man agreed to come to the motel, he breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he didn't think Hamza couldn't take care of himself - it was that he could see how miserable he was out here alone. Things were better with a Pack. With a Pack like theirs, anyway. He'd given Hamza som...
