Leo
That was a valid idea, one he’d happily get behind if they could figure out a way. It might save them from another relocation.
“I don’t know, but I’m not experienced in convincing. Just disappearing and mechanics. If we could…” He glanced at Rory. Silvia was right. The boy did look like he’d seen a bit too much action for the day. Perhaps even the year. He likely needed a visit to the doctor, although a some sleep and the first aid kit would probably do for now.

He felt his teeth grit. He sighed.
“I… don’t know the name. Rory’s home, if you can call it that. It’s the government. Rory was one of their…soldiers, and I might have interfered with their…methods of administration. Which I’m not sorry for. They decided to mess with my siblings for some unexplainable reasoning from their warped, one cell, pea brains. Insufferable idiots.” He dug his fingers into the chair arm and sucked in a deep breath. Pulled on a smile. ” A student defended my sister, another student helped retrieve Quincy, and we’ve been running since.”

Fork the GorkAh nougat. Been a while since I had that lovely sweet fluff. Or, kind of fluff.

Filing papers. Long hours with nothing but a dim lightbulb and the musty smell of ink and paper. Leo gave the poor woman a small smile.
He hoped the necklace wasn’t sticky.
“I’ve noticed the school’s inattention.” Used that inattention too. He set down his mug. “It kinda makes my old boss look obsessed in comparison.”
Except that the man didn’t really need the comparison to look like a resource librarian with cabin fever.

Fork the GorkYep! That’s the link. You should get a confirmation email pretty soon after you signed up.

Fork the Gork1: love triangles. I find them incredibly unrealistic and often ridiculous.
2: no communication. The entire plot should not be able to be resolved with a 5 minute conversation. Like seriously. This may be a problem in real life, but do I want to real a full 300+ pages about a couple misunderstanding each other because they aren’t mature enough to actually. use. words. ever? No, I don’t.
3: *”amazing”* first kisses. Now, I know I’m not speaking through personal, first hand experience (having not been kissed before), but my mother has made a few comments on these literary moments. It may be fun, and perhaps a little sparkingly something or other, but it should also be kinda awkwardly accomplished. If not, one or the other has had practice.

Fork the GorkHave fun!!
First Grand Historian of Arreth and the Lesser Realms (aka Kitty)
Fork the GorkYou’re good. They kind of work together.

Fork the GorkHer characters have left, but are now friends of Silvia’s, and shall probably be pulled into her world from this point forward.

He set his helmet down on top of the rest of his suit and snapped the locker shut. A grin tugged at his mouth.
“She’s just commenting on how beat up you are. You know, using phrases with descriptive situations, even if she knows there aren’t any SE-13N ships around here. Like the phrase ‘Did you get the plates to the car that hit me’…though,” his grin melted “that is actually something I want to know.”
He settled on the chair across from his sister and reached for a mug of tea.
The Barnes lady spoke up. “So, I have to introduce myself first before you give me any explanation. Is that what Rory wants?”
Leo glanced at her over his mug and slowly lowered it. “It might make the others more comfortable, ma’am. As for explanations, well, those are easier to give when I know what precisely needs explaining.”

Her forehead wrinkled. She blinked. “Orders? What do you mean? I was talking about the fact that you look like you tried to fight a snipe ship and the ship won.”
She rubbed the back of her neck and stifled a yawn. Mystery Lady appeared at the kitchen door, lovely smell smell trailing her into the room. Tea, that heavenly solution of H2O and herbal varieties. Silvia sat up.

She dragged her stare away from the mystery lady and to Rory in front of her. He looked…battered. she felt her frown intensified by approximately 3.5 degrees.
“He’s fine. You, however…well, I hope the other guy looks at least as bad.”
Leo
He glanced up from removing his shin guards and smiled.
“Sure. There’s tea in the hutch by the stove. You’ll find the water kettle on top.”

Shadows puddled in the space between streetlights, leaving most of the walk in semi darkness. Few people were out; a sandy haired man on his way home from work, a taxi driver asleep in his seat, a band of students with loud laughter and brightly painted tennis rackets. Easy to avoid, easy to forget.
No sign of the agent creeps.
The metal stair case echoed their footsteps all the way to the third floor. Leo fished out his keys and fit them into the door on the right. It stuck for a moment, drawing a muttered humph from Leo until the tumblers turned and the door creaked open.
“Welcome to my current home.” He used them in, closing the door and reaching for the lamp. Warm yellow light flooded the room.
Silvia sat curled up with Quincy asleep on her lap, her hair, loose in damp waves, tumbled over the back of the couch. She blinked owlishly up at them and frowned.

I guess we’ll see.

Fork the GorkOh. No “confirm your registration” email?

Fork the GorkI’m excited, but I can’t seem to settle on which WIP I want to work on. But I think I know.
I think.
I may change my mind a few more dozen times before Monday.
