    He'd get a choice finger raised silently behind her in response as she continued to walk the perimeter. A few hours later, she'd kneel next to his slumbering form. A hand would go to nudge him awake. "Wakey-wakey," she'd call out, wondering if it would've been wiser if she used a stick to...

    A quiet huff at his answer as she finished off the orange, pushing the discarded peel deep into the sand. “We can agree on that. You’re a pain in my ass and a lotta things but so far not a fukin liar.” A part of her just couldn’t see him being around a bunch of kids. Time would tell if she was...

    Riley disappeared into the back of the cart, rummaging through any supplies that she'd pulled from the wreckage of the other things. Hazels lit up as she found an orange. Meandering back outside, she began peeling the orange. Pulling free a wedge, she dropped it into her mouth, savoring the...

    Hazels flickered over to Crux. She grunted in response. Was he trying to be nice? In some way, she appreciated the distraction. Her stomach was in knots. The tension across her shoulders was palpable. She knew they only had one more shot at trying to step the bastards that took the Falwood...

    "You're a real jackass, y'know that?" She huffed, her fingers flexing at her sides. Perhaps as close as she'd get to saying 'thank you' or at least they they were even. Taking a moment to stare after his back before she finally stalked toward him. Toward the wreckage they'd made. She...

    "Hey, what the fuk are you," she huffed as he drew close. Too close. The glint of a blade and before she could ready her power to blast him, he brought it down. On himself. Then he was reaching for her. Alarm and mild disgust flared in her wild hazels. Brown brows scrunched on olive skin...

    "Holy fuk," she spared a moment to stare at the transformed Crux. Fire beneath his veins. Midnight skin. She knew he was a magic stealer, just from their fight in the ring. And even the moments before this.... Seemed he was doing just fine without needing that extra bit from her. Damn...

    Before any of the slimy bastards could actually touch her, she suddenly sat up. Eyes looking alert and sharp. "The fu-," he barely got out before she sent her TK power into his chest and that of the other three surrounding her. They flew backwards. Two hit the sides of wagons with a...

    Riley's eyes cracked open. Head lifted as she was addressed. A curl of her fingers into a fist as she felt Crux's grip on her wrist. If that goblin shite tried to drain her right now she'd fukin' kill these bandits first and then kill him. "Water," was the only thing she said. One elbow...

    "For Kriff's sake, Crux. Speaking from experience yah muppet?" Hazels shifted to his offered hand. Head shook. "No. When they're here I'll give you some." It was clear she still didn't trust him. What if he tried to drain her? She'd boost him in the middle of the fight if need be. "Go...

    "Oh for Kriff's sake," she muttered behind him, relaxing her tenuous hold on his sides as they stopped. Without waiting for permission, she dismounted and landed softly in the sands by the crossroads. Hands fell to her hips as she looked up at Crux and Bhala. Her attention drifted to the...

    "Thanks," she huffed and attached the canteen to her pack. A raised dark brow on olive skin as he spoke his love language to his horse. Something about a man and his horse. Riley was too busy making sure Bahla wasn't about to kick her. She slid to the side of the horse. Fingers wove around...

    Arms crossed and she harumphed as she gave him a long look up and down. "Are you always this much of a numpty cocksplat?" Shaking her head, she walked over and snatched up an apple. She'd never met a horse she didn't get along with, so she wasn't worried. Taking a bite of the apple first and...

    "Well considering you're not as sore as me and no longer bleeding I"d say you'd be able to handle yourself fine," she harumphed. Still amused at how he'd shaken her hand. Didn't take him to be such a germaphobe. Still, she glanced over her shoulder as they hit the open. She didn't see...

    "Well," she huffed. "Like I said before we have a deal. But if we do find out they're fae, I'm taking them down so you're gonna have to tell me the best way to do it." She'd been tracking them for too long. There was no way in the nine hells she was letting them slip through her fingers one...
