@godlyfantasy12. IKR!? *joins you in slapping them XD*
@freedomwriter76 @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @godlyfantasy12
Crosshair
The girl proceeded to explain. “No. Yes….but not in our country. But in Dorwain, they sometimes do it.”
Dorwain? He’d never heard of it.
“A captain will sometimes brand his own soldiers. Especially if they’re captives.” She shuddered.
He almost felt like shuddering too. He’d marked himself by choice–no superior officer had made him do so against his will. But the people of Dorwain…..they sounded too much like the Empire. In a way, he had been like those prisoners.
“Can we agree that tension is unnecessary?” said the soldier called Riker, stepping between the two. “We all need to find somewhere to sleep.”
“Riker’s right.” said his companion, Ezra, his voice slightly accented. “And it’s wonderful to meet y’all by the way. But all of you look plumb tuckered out, so we need to get a move on.”
Viktor, who was evidently familiar with this castle, explained that the East Tower was one of the safest places.
Riker and Ezra talked quietly among themselves. Then Ezra turned toward Crosshair. “Care to join us, sir?” he asked.
“Sure.” Crosshair muttered. He pulled a flashlight from his belt and shined it down the hallway Viktor had directed them toward as he and the others began their walk toward safety.
If anywhere in this place was safe.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
@e-m-trepke @power @hallie-jean Ok then! Yeah, I enjoy Hesh and Everett’s personalities, and how they kinda clash with Rinzler’s. And Feather just tries to mediate between them…….

@godlyfantasy12. I DO! 😂 I NEED RIKER AND NOVEMBER! 👌 and @elishavet-pidyon, you’re free to start a conversation with whoever as well or ANYONE who wants to have a convo! 😉 @koshka. @keilah-h. (But…I need Riker and November, lol)
Riker
They began to walk, the entire…large…group.
Riker didn’t walk much until the others began to.
He fell into step beside November, the curly haired boy.
He still seemed to be lost in thought…staring at something that was no longer there.
Riker bit his lip.
He felt like he should say something…but at the same time…maybe he shouldn’t say anything.
Going with his first tug, Riker glanced over at November. “Are you…alright? I saw you…urm…pull at your hair and then look at the ground.”

Why does Riker sound so nervous? Lol. 😂
@freedomwriter76 XD it’s k, it’s pretty normal for ma November to be nervous too (ma cinnamon roll 🥹😖)
November
The man, Riker, made him jump slightly.
“HA! Oh!” He winced at the sound of his own voice as the others glanced back at him for a moment before continuing ahead. Heat rushed to his face and he chuckled awkwardly.
Ara looked back once more, her face masked with concern as she glanced between him and Riker. November gave her a smile and she relaxed, continuing on her way.
“Y-Yea! I’m good!” He grinned up at the man, his mind fumbling for words. He’d never been the greatest at the small talk. “I’m November!”
A second ticked by and he mentally slapped himself.
“And…you already knew that….” He shut his eyes and let out an embarrassed sigh. Why couldn’t he be good at this kinda stuff like Jocelyn? This kinda thing came so naturally to her! Even Ara, who didn’t necessarily enjoy it, was able to get by without totally humiliating herself.
Riker chuckled, but not in a condescending way. He was grateful for that at least.

@godlyfantasy12. Yeah. 😂 (yes, your cinnamon roll. <3 And Riker is my baby. *wink*) Also, y’all, just took the quiz and Eva is the same personality type as Ezra. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!? Just he’s turbulent, she’s assertive. Somehow, someway. I am so confused, lol. 😂
Riker
Riker chuckled.
“I did. But I don’t mind being told again. Sometimes I’m not very good with names anyhow.” he smiled.
November looked so nervous, and his cheeks were slightly flushed. “You’re good, November, really. I don’t mind.”
Riker bit his lip. What else could he say? Oh…Iris was always so much better at this than he was. No one had wanted to talk to him, so Riker never learned how to make small talk.
Iris had giggled the first few times they met. “You’ve never talked to anyone, especially a woman, before, have you?”
Riker took in a deep breath.
Fingered with his wedding ring. What could he say to November to keep this conversation going? He didn’t want to be pushy.
But he could tell November wasn’t actually…okay.
“Do you enjoy any hobbies, November? That is…if you don’t mind talking about things.”

November and Riker have so, so much in common. 😂
@freedomwriter76 awww Riker…. And even his relationship with Iris seems so cute just like Ara and November! Tho Ara is my oblivious little queen XD
November
Hobbies?
Did he have any hobbies?
He raised a brow at the question. He wasn’t sure if he’d ever been asked that before….
Recently he hadn’t really been able to pursue much of anything, what with his recent adventures, but what about before?
“Ahh…” He fumbled.
What had he done before he left A’Grend?
His mind blanked. Most of his life had consisted of running errands for his father and-
Spending time with Arabella.
His ears turned pink.
He couldn’t very well say THAT was his hobby! That could lead to a very…embarrassing situation…..
”Ermm….” Riker was thankfully patient, and, looking up, November found that the taller man’s eyes were kind and gentle. Warm. Something November wasn’t used to from men with his statue and presence.
“I guess I just enjoy hanging out with friends…dunno if you’d call that a hobby or not…” He shrugged. It was the truth, he just….left out the fact that he’d only had one friend in A’Grend.
Besides, now he had two more: Lyn and Nyx.
And…he looked ahead at the group. Maybe a couple more?
“W-“ He cleared his throat, wincing, “What about you?”

@godlyfantasy12. Ohh, it is SO CUTE. You have no idea. 😍 Haha, thankfully, neither of them was oblivious. 😂 They both loved each other. And it’s funny because Riker found a new job in a new town, but he was only a replacement for a man that was injured and that’s how they met, because that’s where she was from. After the man came back, Riker was going to go home. He told Iris, and she was asking why he couldn’t stay. Riker was like: “Why would I stay?” Iris thought for the shortest second, then asked: “Can I give you a reason?” Before Riker could reply, she grabbed him and kissed him. 👌😂 Now, they’ve been married for ten years, have four kids, with a fifth one on the way, btw. 😜
Riker
“W-” November cleared his throat, wincing, “What about you?”
Riker smiled again. Poor kid.
“Considering I’m always so busy with…” Riker paused, and his smile faded. Murdering people. No. No. No. He couldn’t go there again. Not now. Not when November was waiting for him. “…my job that I don’t have much free time, not many hobbies. I spend time with my wife and kids when I get the chance, and…I used…to write a lot…to…to…” Distract myself, he wanted to finish. But he couldn’t. “…to get creative juices flowing for schoolwork.”
He cringed slightly. Oh, he had always been such a horrible liar when it came to talking about his past. “I also used to play Violin…but I…I dropped that too…I used that to…” Distract Myself. “…entertain my younger sister.”
November continued to look up at him.
Riker’s hands instinctively rose to touch the scar on his cheek.
And this time…he didn’t move his hand away in time.
Riker quickly put it at his side. Think, Riker, think. November probably saw the scar. You have to distract him, he thought.
He glanced back at November.
(AHH!! MY BABY! 😭😭😭)
@godlyfantasy12 @koshka @freedomwriter76 @keilah-h
Alyona
They were off again, at a more leisurely pace this time. Alyona plucked Viktor’s elbow.
“What?” He glanced at her.
“Isn’t the tower blocked off?” She whispered.
He shrugged – a sure sign he didn’t know what to say. “Just the door.”
“The door. As in, the entrance?” She raised an eyebrow.
“There’s a window not too far up.”
“Vitya, I’m fine with that, and you’re fine with that, but what about…” She nodded toward Eva. “The others.”
“I don’t know.” There was a slight hint if irritation in his voice. “Do you have another idea?”
Viktor
What could he say? They were tired and needed a safe place to rest. The window wasn’t so high up.
He turned to the nearest person – Vulkasin. “There may be difficulty getting into the tower. The door is blocked.”
He was surprised by the gleam of interest that suddenly lit the Voyager’s face. “Is zere a vindow?”
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan
