    Private A Brilliant Plume

    He seemed amused by the request of darker color, for some reason, but offered a gesture of the hand that had to mean he supported the idea. And yet, on his face, as pretty as a sculpture of some artisan deity, there was a short confusion - eyebrows rose, lips pursed slightly. "Why not? Is blue...

    Private A Brilliant Plume

    There was a thoughtful expression on the lordling's face, hollow and curious. A little like an owl measuring prey caught, so small that it would barely take any effort to make its bones snap. The blue eyes turned to the alleyway, where the older kids were just a moment ago, empty now. No loyalty...

    Open Creeping Jade Mists

    A stern-looking, stout gentleman who smelled strongly of wood lacquer and liquor glanced down at the brightly dressed lord, them up at the bodyguard, confusion shifting into a slight concern. Who were these people? "Why'd you need a cemetery?" "To pay my respects to a fallen sister in arms, why...

    He nodded, listening, and seemed to chuckle without a noise to the notion of hiding under the skirts. "Of course, the busty tavern wenches, same as servers at the tea house, also often happen near curious conversations. We'll see how you wield soon," He said, with a lightness and urgency to his...

    Open Creeping Jade Mists

    Mists were rolling over the free city of Tharvos, and these ones had the slightest hint of green to them around the edges, as the light from windows and lanterns would hit them. Strange, for the city was not on a river nor near rolling hills. The mists seemed harmless, if strange, and thickened...

    Dare Crimson Stain and Silver Courtesy

    Nothing changed on the young man's face, not the smile, and not the posture. He eyed the girl, face pleasant, offering an idle good morning as she approached. He could feel the tension before she even stopped, and no surprise came as the words dropped from her lips, dry like divination bones...

    "Nothing?" the young man's lips curled with humor, and, almost pointedly, he looked about the quietened room. Perhaps to indicate the broad and vigorous choice of challenge. "Even in a city full of mercenaries, we have to remember the middling man prevalence. Oh, what?" Her remark to the -...

    Private A Brilliant Plume

    They were all ghosts, in the fall of the power, living or dead. The least he could do is be beautiful as he faded, to experience the struggle against decay rather than a quick solution of a poisoned wine cup. The people here, across the waters - were just like ones at home. Most didn't think...

    Private A Brilliant Plume

    The smile faded some, but remained on the soft lips, the cheerful, relaxed squint to the eyes. Song knew how to hide any emotion ever so well when he felt like it. Pain, anger, fear, doubt. A false zen of perfect composure, a dance of misdirection with a sway of the hips as he shifted his foot...

    Private Where Feather Falls

    "Well, Emer-jie wasn't wrong about me." Song mused. Not a single miniscule twitch of feature followed as the bastard was, in the next step after denouncing friendship, spill onto him about the hardships to explain. Oh, woe, Song thought, was it that he did have a pretty face that made even this...

    He was getting more graceful with these horrible brews, not a lock out of place, not a shade of a grimace. The young man's mind wandered, if only for a couple beats during the calm, to his sisters back home. Would Fang-jie get destroyed over the forbidden memorial tablet he'd gifted to her at...

    Private A Brilliant Plume

    The tavern was busy. Several mercenary groups have just returned, fettered but unbroken, from a small border war between two cities. The braggadocios antics had an almost desperate edge to them - after all, when tales of heroics were recounted enough times, with enough booze, the horrors would...

    Private Where Feather Falls

    "She certainly revealed a fair bit about you. If it was not a bid for cooperation, undermined right then and there by creating your current concern - then was it a mishandling?" A light shrug, an excited giggle, fan's shade falling over his lips - I wonder. He turned over his shoulder, five...

    Private Where Feather Falls

    The sorcerer's fresh and beaming face shifted slightly, and he regarded Emer's farewell with what could only be read as a slight disappointment. Was she trying to argue the nobility of his birth? Or, in an akward manner, was doing one of those childishly defiant things of arguing that if he was...

    And while the exchange with Duscan was certainly making the latter make some choices almost out loud (so clear was the noisy screech of turning wheels inside the poor man's head), Song could barely restrain the manner of his smile. The manner of Emer's business was so, so familiar. Outspoken...
