    Private To entertain whimsy

    She'd seen things, and learned to answer hate with love. He pondered on the words a long moment, hands careful around hers as he took the spoon and the bowl. "Sounds like something I'd learned about back at the Monastery," he said with a lopsided smile. Felt the cold from her hands bleed into...

    His eyes widened just a fraction. Worry pulled at his mouth. She looked almost too tired to it. Half disgusted at that. "No, I, I was more in awe than anything," he said softly as the fire crackled and hissed. Looked down at his own soup. Set it down and moved closer to her. Put his hand...

    That didn't seem right. Had her feathers always been that color? Roki's eyes flit to the lone plume. How its tiny bristles stirred in the shift cold breeze of coming night. Silvered gold like moon's pale light. "Am I missing something?" Lefelen grunt. "No just, I mean, Dove," "No, I mean...

    Lefelen nod to the welcome of rest. "My thanks for the hospitality," a dark rumble in his throat at the mention of the bandits. "I am Syr Lefelen, Knight of Anatheaum, and if they find those folks, I've means to join them," something in his eyes said he would go regardless of local assistance...

    Quiet and full of wonder, he watched her work. Found curiosity after curiosity bubbling up in the warm waters of his mind. Where'd she come from, being keen among them. How did she learn to heal? Did she always coo when she was doing this sort of work? How did- The last peel of the sticky...

    Open Before the embers die

    All laugh and cheer, Roki clapped double true for the young storyteller. Rocking back on his bum with little kicks off the ground with his feet folded neatly beneath him. Lefelen nod, clear smile upon his face, his large hands slow clapped for all who had performed. The night of stories had...

    Lefelen scrunched his brow, and screwed tight his lips. He new confusion when he saw it. That did not mean the healer did not know what she was doing, not by any measure. But for the moment, it was best to stay quiet. Roki put on a brave face. Confidence, right? Act it, until you could do it...

    Each pound of the heart felt doubled. In its trouble, and in its rest. The cold fear that coated him, thinned as if it was a fog burned away by the sun's climb up the horizon. It's deep, but- it can be worked with... Doubts and worries still swirled the more. She could see what he could not...

    A voice from the crowd, and the cart slowed to stop. Mule's cries sharp as jabs in Roki's ears. "Focus," Syr Lefelen reminded him, calm and low, from where he sat. Back pressed against the wall of the wagon. "Do your best to block out the distractions," "R-right," the squire replied, mind...

    A trade wagon rolled fast through muddied road and mist. All jostle, rumble and bump as the mule cantered on. "Hold the wound steady, Roki,-" Syr Lefelen grit his teeth, sucked ragged breath down through clenched jaw as pain paled his face, and a cold sweat ran down his brow. "Try and see the...

    Open Hope is the Thing with Feathers

    In some other corner of the armory, Roki sat surrounded by leathers, skins, and cottons. Cross legged and upon the floor, with a tall straight back, and a needle held firm betwixt strong fingers. His eyes squeezed narrow with the focus of their attention. Fixed upon the plane of his work...

    Prompt Love is Blind: Caught in the Act

    He wore his smile as easy as a leaf caught the sun. His golden eyes watched with a warm care as she tried to reject his affections. The blush was a real nice touch. Had his smile show a hint more tusk as he wondered. How did she get into the mindset to turn so petal pink? He would have to ask...

    Open Before the embers die

    Roki looked to the feather, how its reddish brown barbs caught the flicker of the fire's light across each fiber that formed its vane. How the downy barbs danced and tickled his fingers, pinched about the nib of its spine. How each little wisp of white moved with the flux of fire's heat mixed...

    She grabbed him by the hand and pulled him out the shop. All quick step and rush as he finished putting on the last button of his vest. Come the thunk of the coins, Roki gawked over his shoulder, as they hurried out the back, Abri's big floppy hat all bounce and wiggle about his golden eyed...

    Prompt Love is Blind: Caught in the Act

    There was hardly time to think. Amidst the forest of velvet, leathers, cottons and suede. Quick! Find something to change into! His eyes looked around, lungs pulling for air, mouth dry, he grabbed for something that looked like he could slip into. A nice cotton shirt, a finely patterned...

    Prompt Love is Blind: Caught in the Act

    A yelp left his lips in a yip as she yanked him towards their new destination. The door flung open and in they went, as the bell above the entrance tinga-ling-ringed its bright welcome. "Welcome to Rosemallow's" a tired voice said from behind the counter. "Petal or thorn, whatever is worn...

    Prompt Love is Blind: Caught in the Act

    There was a weight on him. Heavy, and grounding. It moved, and pinned him down by the shoulder as his eyes came into focus after the knock. Coppery red, and verdant greens there on a familiar face to greet him. A heat crept up his neck, cheeks and nose as they seemed caught in that moment...

    Prompt Love is Blind: Caught in the Act

    "I don't know!" Roki cried out. "I don't know!" He called back again. "I don't know!" he could hardly keep the panic out of his voice between hard breaths. The street kid hopped over some crates just ahead of them with a nimbleness that came with familiarity. Roki didn't know shit about this...

    Roki looked down at the bundle laden in his arms. Blinked, looked back up at Abrielle. Blinked again. His mouth slack-jawed as a question hung on his tongue. Then the guards came shouting. Roki's eyes went wider. "We gotta go!" he warned, tucked the parcel and grabbed for Abrielle's wrist...
