The military is a well oiled machine, and thus it didn't allow for much leeway in the realm of time off. Her duties still had to be performed, and that was fine with Dianna, it allowed her to throw herself into her work and distract herself from her thoughts. She continued to show up for work...

Dianna looked relieved that her mother didn't have to go through labor that many times, then she listened with a slight smile, imagining a little Charity running around the streets snatching purses. Dianna could only imagine what it must have been like to try and survive on the streets, her few...

Dianna couldn't help but laugh a little. 'powerful' and 'womanly' was certainly one way to look at it, but Dianna suspected Charity was just being charitable with that description. As far as opposites went, Dianna's family and Charity were as far away from each other as possible. As far as...

The soup was indeed good. Not as good as back home, and Charity was noticably new in the kitchen, but she got the seasoning and proportions right even if she needed a crash course on how to mince and chop veggies. She took a bite of meat and chased it down with a sip of wine. Dianna didn't...

Dianna sighed as a deeper kiss was pressed to her lips and her eyes fluttered closed as she drank it in. Hands around her waste could only be answered by arms about Charity's shoulders in a close embrace. Dianna was all smiles when they parted again and her eyes opened dreamily as she caught...

Dianna felt... Awkward. It's not like she was predisposed to avoid confrontation or intense situations, as both a socialite and a soldier she was more than prepared for situations like that! This was not that. This was a date with Charity, and Dianna still wasn't quite used to the idea. They...

She took it all in... 'not uninterested'? What did that even mean? Just because she wasn't outright disgusted or even really angry about it didn't mean that she would actually want to kiss a girl... Outside of family of course... Just because it wasn't the worst experience in her life didn't...

She let him inside and followed his unspoken instruction to sit while he tidied up and prepared the tea properly. That was fine with her, she didn't trust herself to speak for fear that her voice might quiver. His healing steadied her a little bit, she didn't feel as disgusting as she did...

It wasn't long after she put the pot on the fire that she heard the knock on her door. She was about to answer it when she heard her subordinate identify himself, in his characteristic culturally awkward fashion. Kezzinah, the combat medic of their unit. The island elves had to travel far and...

Dianna stumbled over a rain bucket and flailed her arms before regaining her balance. She wasn't walking anywhere in particular, she was walking for the sake of walking. This new development caught her off guard but suddenly so much now made sense, the accidental brushes and touches were not so...

This was nice. Just taking the time to appreciate the view. The view of the inlet wasn't exactly the sea or the ocean, but the vastness gave the landlocked northern girl the same wondrous feeling of appreciation for its greatness. Spending this time with a friend made it that much more special...

"That sounds wonderful! I would most certainly enjoy that, for next time!" Dianna nodded in agreement. Although she's not seen combat on the battlefield, she's seen her share of the consequences for a blade opening flesh. Visions that anyone in their right mind would wish to forget if they...

Dianna giggled and playfully elbowed Charity at the jab to her status. Sure, she grew up on the finer things life had to offer, but during her years as a soldier she's come to appreciate less extravagant and more simple but flavorful meals. Dianna nodded, "As a rule, yes. A fat or unfit soldier...

Dianna relaxed her hard gaze only slightly at Charity's assurances. She chose to remain willfully ignorant of the things her and her family get into, out of love for Charity of course, but out of love for Charity she couldn't stand by knowing how her family treats her, the things they do to each...

Dianna and Charity chatted away as they walked, enjoying the wholesome simplicity of each other's company. When they arrived at their destination the view took her breath away! She'd gotten to see the harbor on a few occasions, but this sight nearly brought a tear to the eye of the northerner...
