"Fine be me," that blond dreadlord sneered. Sky let it roll easily off her shoulders. A warm smile in his direction none-the-less as she hopped into the boat. Her hand dropped to the hollowed out tube and those poison tipped darts she kept at the read at all times when in a warzone. They...

"Rhi, you don't have to," the protest died on her lips as his muscled shoulders took on her pack. "Thanks," the medic relented. She still had a smaller satchel slung diagonally across her shoulders and light armor. Her thick black curls were braided back in two plaited braids. "And for the...

She paused and stared at Rhi. Realization slowly working across her face. Her dark skin paling slightly. "Oh," she managed. Uttering the one word quietly. They were just going in and hoping they would make it. There was no time for anything else. No preparation for anything else. She...

"Those are impossible promises," she muttered a half-hearted grumble against the dreadlord's shoulder as he pulled her in. And stars if it didn't just feel like she fit perfectly against those hard dips and valleys of his chest and body. Her arms wrapped instinctively around him in that...

"Yes," Sky said in response to the dreadlord. Moving quickly, her hands scooped under the shoulders of the injured guardwoman she'd just bene talking to. Jaw clenched as she looked at the row of wounded. "Lady Pirian. Can you help provide cover or help me move the wounded away from the open...

Rhory Grimmere, I best-friend pinky-swear promise. Why? Is there anyone else that you have eyes for? Did you ever think about Arn. I like you both, so I think it's only natural that I want both of you to be happy and why not together? Miss you and hope to see you soon so we can catch up...

Rhidian, I'm behind enemy lines again and I don't even know if this letter will make it to you. It's not the same as when you were there with me. I miss your smile. Your honesty. I miss you. Be easy on yourself. Hope to see you again, soon. Drinks are on me. Sky

Sky finished wrapping the bandage to a wounded soldier's head then rose to a stand. Overhearing the dreadlord who'd transformed from a bird to a man. Even though she'd been around so many dreadlords with her time in the guard the magic still had a way of astounding her. "We need more medical...

The sounds of the war camp seemed to blur and overwhelm at the same time. She froze at Rhi's touch. It was like wildfire spreading up her arm. His heat doing too much and not enough. And for a moment, the intensity in his eyes. She could just stare her lips parted. Her free hand squeezed...

The medic dragged a hand down her tired, dirt and blood flecked face. None of the blood was her own. Warm-brown eyes passed over Zephyrine as she saw the Dreadlord yank a shard of glass free from her palm, the wound there and gone the next. Sky finished tying off a bandage to one of the...

"Rhi, I don't know what to say. That sounds awful," Sky rubbed a hand along his back before her hand gave his upper arm a small squeeze before falling back to her side. "Hopefully this time will be different." Her smile didn't reach her eyes, though. The cortosi were relentless. She'd also...

Skyler was, well, STARING. What did they feed Dreadlords these days? Warm brown eyes kindled with an internal heat as she finally tore her eyes away. Look at his eyes, Sky. UP THERE. She swallowed. "Arn has a way of doing that. He seems hapless about it but I think he doesn't give...

She bumped his own shoulder in return. Lapsing into a comfortable sort of silence with him. The kind that only grew between friends as they got to know one another. She didn't think it mattered what she said at this point. She didn't want to offer him any empty words or unasked for advice...

Sky's smile was bright as Connie introduced herself. "I'm not a stranger to overly protective family." She laughed as Fumi shrugged. And looked mildly offended at the silent look Sky gave him. "What? Don't look at me." He huffed. "I'm going to find out wayard brother. I'll meet back up...

"Oh," she said quietly. Was this Urahil the reason why he'd been so guarded? Used that mask to cover up an ocean of pain? Sky studied Rhi and that faraway vacant look he had on his face. Yeah, the medic thought, this girl must've done a number on him. For once, the dreadlord's face looked...
