Barnes

Barnes helped hold Rory up, performing efficiently, although her shoulder was still pretty torn up. She let Leo lead the way, and soon enough they were out of the tightly packed back alley and heading up the dark street toward a new area of buildings.

@koshka

That was my reaction. The people are really nice though. 😁

Rory

Rory swallowed and looked at Leo. He was still uncomfortable, but the picture had gotten to him in a way nothing else had. Leo was the only person he had encountered who had people like that around who loved each other. Obviously this was something close to the woman’s heart. Rory licked his dry lips, eyeing her si…[Read more]

@koshka

Or shall I suggest we use our own two feet like regular bipeds?

I should hope so; it would be uncustomary to try another way

@ellette-giselle @koshka

Barnes

How was she supposed to prove something like that? He was right; there was very little reason to believe her, and although she was school staff, that wasn’t enough for him.

Barnes breathed out loudly through her nose. After a few seconds of thought, she twisted and dug around in her jacket pocket. She pulled o…[Read more]

Rory

Rory stared back at her. He had survived by hiding his every thought and emotion. He could play this game just as well as she could. Straightening, he let the expressionless mask slide over his face. “Trust is not a word in my vocabulary,” he said tonelessly. “For all I know you’re just trying to jeep my alive so t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @koshka

Barnes

She gave him a long, expressionless look, which she only realized a few moments later. He couldn’t see her flickering eyes and mouth, as her thoughts came to a semblance of reasoning. Reasoning kept her sane, kept her so calm, that no one ever got to know her.

She nodded to herself, and bowed her head over his h…[Read more]

I’m going to start no-Gi class because everyone else wants to reconfigure the scheduling, and I don’t know how I feel about it. Last time I watched no-Gi, there were puddles of sweat on the floor. And blood.

If I never post again, you know what happened to me.

Most people don’t sympathize with these memes, but I have to get them off my chest.

Rory

stiffened at her touch. He stood very still, his mouth tightening in a thin line of pain as the cloth bound up his wounds. “Why?” He asked again. “What am I to you?”

@ellette-giselle @koshka

Barnes

Barnes knelt so she was on level with Rory’s hands, and began to gently wrap them with the cloth. “I stand to gain your health and safety.”

koshka

Sorry. I think I just got blood all over Leo’s uniform. lol.

@whalekeeper   @koshka

Rory

Rory tightened his hold on Leo’s arm. “But why? what do you stand to gain?” He forced his voice to remain steady, trying to ignore the blood that dripped from his fingers onto the cobblestones.

@koshka

*Concedes and pulls you back up onto your feet*

@ellette-giselle

*barnes seems to have a thing for ripping clothing. lol*

Huh, I guess you’re right.

Barnes

The look in his eyes twinged in Barnes’ heart, but she kept her voice low and stable.

“Look.” She held up her hands to his. Both of them had deep scrapes from the concrete. Rory’s were a lot worse, since he had fallen farther. “These ca…[Read more]
