    Private The man at Breakleg Castle

    By all accounts, he should've been mocking the venerable motherfucker, but it just didn't sit right. The desire to do the right thing was often the most horrible affliction a man could have. He thought that it got pushed out of people as they got older, like all the other shit. But no – here...

    Plucked the letter from her fingers. “We won’t be mocking every soft thing.” Sounded tired. “Just cause you’re bleeding.” Wasn’t even sure he had any right to be angry. But he was. Even if he’d said worse. Done worse. Fished for the burned piece in his pocket and overlayed the two. Looked to...

    Wasn't sure if Horns made a sound when he got stuck. But he could see it well enough. Matvi was heading for Koren. Townspeople were a panicked mess. Guess that left the suspicious deva in his care – his and Jerry's. „Let go, Jerry.“ As he pushed himself to an awkward stand. Weight poorly...

    „Hear that, Benny? You got a good one.“ A girl, huh? Never figured he was blind enough to miss something size of a horsedick...but eyes did get shiter with age. Looked to the sky when Laric spoke. Sure would've been nice if one of the myriad scars told him when the weather would change. But he...

    Look told him plenty. Guy still had to try – because the next one was unlikely to end this well. But he nodded, pat on the horse's side. Ready to go. Come to think of it... „What do you think of Benny?“ The animal didn't appear impressed. Trevor thought it was great – real buddylike. And if...

    Was the fucking hoofer trying to pet itself against his leg? Trevor wasn't fluent in horse, but he did his best to pat the thing between the ears. Gently, of course. Because bit could only stop so much before it was his ass that got bitten. Before Laric, the briefest hint of concern flashed...

    And it felt, in that moment, like home. Back when they let him win cause he was a snotnosed motherfucker that cried a lot. And he noticed some times, but never cared. Because it had always been fun, regardless of who won. The slow warmth of the stone was toasty now. Tiny fieldpebble never got...

    „You...owe him money?“ Mark's shoulders visibly relaxed. Even the voice subsided further. „So he's not coming back.“ Lana didn't seem to be buying it. „And you'll pay us for it.“ Emilia simply looked back to the house, making sure the kids were well and truly gone. A healthy amount of...

    Watched them get pulled away one by one – and whether it was Meredith, Garren, or the bed – no one bothered with what he’d found. Perhaps that too was an omen. Trevor pocketed the charred bit of paper and wondered why he was investigating the reason at all. Murder was murder. And while it would...

    The familiar boy returned, trailed by two similar women. Both short, plump and brunette. Coulda been twins, save for the nose and eyebrows. „Go play inside, kids.“ Mark continued, flat. „There's apple pie on the stove. You know how Lana makes it...“ „Oi, that's for tonight...“ one of the women...

    The kids didn't seem to have picked up on anything, but Mark's face changed. Pointed his browns to the boy's greys. „Get your moms.“ „Emilia is not...“ „Now, Adam. Both of 'em.“ Even as the conversation proper died there, the lil' guy still grumbled as he went. „How did Kaelen, die?“ Mark...

    He was ready to catch Monroe should she slip again, but the knight was more surefooted this time. They shuffled up, and he left them to examining the bodies. What had the killer been searching for? Never understood saying goodbye to bodies – not even when he did it himself. Might as well burn...

    Dare Primroses

    Scrub to the bone? Trevor hesitated at that, fingers fumbled and the brush earned a short reprieve. Suppose some day he would. Some things were removed by polishing, others only became themselves more. And one day, there'd be nothing more to scrub. But he wasn't going to dwell on sad shit. He...

    Dare Primroses

    He always knew it'd be something to see, a place that fed the Monastery and its people. But it had been a while since he'd seen anything quite so majestic. Smell lulled him to a false sense of safety – right up to where eyes were met with cookware hanging all around. Copper alone, dangling, cost...

    Trevor smiled at the omission. Because words meant things. But people were too busy being polite to care. Wasn't aware he'd gestured at a particular boy, but he must've – cause Laric had chosen the right one. Boy had his father's grey eyes and the same dangling ears. Boy turned around to the...

    Well, that worked. Perhaps Trevor should start saying he was from the Order when he got into trouble. Seemed cheaper than the alternative. But no. Would only fuck up their name. And each man was supposed to have a chance to drag his own bits through the mud. Best not to take that from anyone...

    Private The man at Breakleg Castle

    The exhale gave off more than breath. It also lost all his steam. Sure, the fucker got them both arrested... but was he really going to smack someone's granpa? Didn't feel quite right. Not like he'd let the old guy box his ears or anything, but he was thinking more politely about adding a whomp...

    It took a while for it to catch up to him – the taste of copper in his mouth. Thought it was nerves at first. But no. He was much at ease as he knew how to be. Felt at his chest for pain, but the wound hadn't reopened. Hadn't felt that much copper since they did him in the lung a few years back...

    Even spoke like a man who had no lessers. That tracked. Still, he sure as shit wasn't fighting the guy in a crowded area. Bad things rarely happened to Trevor – but they often happened around him. Best not tempt it. „Luck be with you, then.“ And She would be. He didn't say good or bad. And...

    Would've gone even faster if he tried talking Lick and sons to help out, but that would defeat the point. The faster this was all done. Faster it would all be gone. And then it would just be him and the road again. Figured the same went for why they were digging next to each other instead of in...
