    Oh no. Oh no, ohnononononono. She took the crossbow because to not take it might have meant they wouldn't take her along with, and she needed to get Hanna, more than ever she realized. There was something going on, at least with these men, they were after their Captain, but she could feel the...

    Fighter? She was not that, unless one considered her to be a fighter because she refused to let life crush her. When it came to others, Safa needed numbers. She would never be caught in a fight that was fair, she needed it as unfair as a fight could be, as long as it meant she would be...

    Open All Roads Lead to Hestio

    The hallways were long and winding, like snakes that slithered over and under each other, creating knots that could not be undone unless freed by the cut of a blade. Safa was used to sneaking around fancy estates or grand celebratory city halls, maybe a merchant's caravan or a busy street, but...

    At the orphanage, many people thought Hanna was in charge because of his size. He was only thirteen but had shoulders like an ox and a big square head. He had given up on shaving, liking that facial hair would hide the roundness still on his cheeks and jaw, so people called him 'man' instead of...

    It was interesting to see a face that wasn't made to be a mask, like hers. There was a truthfulness to it that Safa enjoyed inwardly, the ability to understand the curve of one's eyes, their lips, even the rise or dip of their brows. Everything felt genuine instead of manipulated. Refreshing...

    Dare Locked Out of Heaven

    Quiet settled between them. Morcar's admission was not an easy thing to digest. Someone had failed-- someone who most likely was there because of Morcar's wants and wishes. People knew better than to go into places they did not belong in. Safa, a street rat through and through, didn't belong...

    Dare Locked Out of Heaven

    Safa leaned over, eyes roving over the drawing that Morcar had concealed within his cloak. Her dark gaze followed his finger, listening intently as he explained the layout. It seemed simple enough, and of course, why wouldn't a ring that held so much power not be secured in a vault? There was...

    The small woman shook her head quickly at the gestures of the man beside her. Safa pushed the coins back towards him. "Where I am from, people are expected to return favors." It wasn't just the returning of the favor, it was more so that there were certain perceptions, the sort most women...

    Dare Locked Out of Heaven

    The conversation had been going quite well, in Safa's untrained opinion. She was not the best nor the worst conversationalist, and she never wasted her nights lamenting or reflecting on what she could have said. More often than not, Safa spoke truly from the heart already. She would keep secrets...

    Another drink, another cheer. Unloading the secret off her slight shoulders had an effect that Safa didn't expect. This time, she didn't chug. She didn't savor the sourness, nor did she ignore it. She drank now with small, calculated sips. Safa considered how now would be a good time to eat...

    The silence between them wasn't uncomfortable. The man got himself another beer, and Safa continued to nurse her own. She didn't care about the smell or the flavor of it, only that it would soon relax her shoulders and make everything around her a little brighter and a little lighter. With the...

    Dare Locked Out of Heaven

    Well, Zsa-Zsa was right. When hungry, Safa was never in a good mood, and perhaps something besides alcohol and olives in her stomach would have soothed her nerves. She drank half her glass of water before setting it down on the table, beginning to make herself a snack. She didn't have refined...

    Oh, gross. Poor Guy. Safa only thought it, but her face portrayed her thoughts, nonetheless. There was the deep furrowing of brows, a look of surprise, and some sick curiosity about what could cause a wound like that. A hanging gone wrong? Being strangled? A blade to the throat. She looked away...

    She straightened up when he entered, as if she had been caught doing something wrong. She had suppressed her urge to snoop around and instead stood about with one foot in paranoid daydreams and the other in reality. Safa was taken aback when her new employer came in with a tray of food-- she...

    "Huh?" Safa huffed, looking at the bear of a man beside her. He had tapped her shoulder, but no words had come from it. Her head turned towards the man, a brow crooked in inquiry. Dark eyes regarded him cooly, but there was a layer of superstition. Safa wasn't daft enough not to give him a look...
