Although as fun as pressing my luck by going into the darkness to see what kind of creatures might be out there sounds, I'm thinking of heading back until I get a better source of light.

[mucked]

Of course. I'd expect nothing less -- speaking as a Captain, myself. [ peggy might have her own tension with barnes, but it isn't because of what happens back in their home universe. that, she has nothing to do with. ]

And the Starstruck shall always have the Heron's back, so to speak. Old alliances run deep. [ and she misses jim something fierce. ]

[He can guess what is left unsaid, given everything his other grandsons have told him.]

It is what gives us strength here, no matter what may happen. I will not allow conflict and strife to separate us again.

Like I said, there was a long line of people who wanted to kill Joffrey, for a variety of reasons. I was just the scape-goat. I believe the marriage was arranged before the bride and the family learned of Joffrey's certain ... disabilities. They also wanted to make sure they were secured to the royal family after they supported a king-caninidate who was horribly murdered in magical circumstances.... I could go on, if you want to know the whole torrid affair.

[noprophecies]

I will look forward to it.

[dancingmd]

[She grins.]

We’re a little tougher than you might imagine.

[alwayscomeback]

...You know, that's probably a really good idea.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka's wondered that, too. He and Katara are headed back to the South Pole. Maybe once he's there, he'd just...stop too. Just stay at home, try and forge any kind of life he could there.

But he doubts it would ever be that easy. ]

Lucky me, I have someone who'll always drag mee off on adventures if I wanna go or not. A few someones, actually.

[wolfehawke]

Oh he is. Is that something they teach all Crows? Or, well, I guess he's a former-

[Adalwolfe stops short, seeing movement out of the corner of his eye and immediately spinning his staff from his back as he turns to face it, falling very suddenly silent.]

[wolfehawke]

[If he'd still been climbing he might have slipped at that.]

Brought her back? How? Necromancy?

[wolfehawke]

Funny, I have a lot of people always telling me I need to calm down or not do the thing. In fact, one of my best friends kept my location from someone wanting me to lead a massive organization just to keep me out of it.

[Which... really wasn't exactly the reason Varric kept him secret from Cassandra, but sometimes Wolfe has to wonder.]

I just can't keep my nose out of anything. I feel like if I can help, then I have a responsibility to, even if I don't actually want to.

[deviances]

[ He sighs and nods, clearly in agreement about the nuisance aspect. ]

Yeah, I've already dealt with a pissed-off bear. [ And a pissed-off lady at the same time, but that's irrelevant. ...He thinks. ] Don't wanna do it again, but I've kinda resigned myself to the fact that I'm probably gonna.

Wanna go together? Safety in numbers, or somethin' like that?

[ because two mages totally make a good party... ]

[exothermia]

[He's quiet for a while, working on the plants, but there's another thought knocking around in his head. It refuses to leave him alone, and so he must venture it. The fact that Aurae is around to hear it is a stroke of luck.]

I think I'm going to do something for Charles. Him and Raven.

[noprophecies]

[she glances up curiously, then hums a bit quietly and moves to sit closer to him once more]

What were you thinking of doing?

[exothermia]

I'm not sure yet. Something physical, I think.

[He sighs, sitting back on his heels.]

It's all well and good to say I can take my time with things. But it doesn't feel right, to do nothing.

[noprophecies]

Something . . . physical. I'm not sure what you mean by that.

[she purses her lips, shifting to sit so she can draw her knees up and lean on them]

There is a difference between taking your time and doing nothing, though, Erik.

[exothermia]

Well, I meant giving them something. [There's value in the tangible, and it's something he's more adept at than actions or words, at the moment.]

I know. Both can happen at the same time, though.

[noprophecies]

Ah, a present. That would be a nice idea. [she's reminded of the ring Charles had worked to make for him, that she had helped with, and wonders if that's what Erik means]

I know it can.

[exothermia]

[He looks away, prodding at the dirt with a finger.]

They've done a lot for me. They even did something for my birthday. [It was that, more than anything, that really sunk into his heart. He had expected nothing from anyone, but they had kept him company on that day. Erik doubts he would have made it through without crying himself sick otherwise.]

[noprophecies]

It is like I told you, yes? They love you. It was nice of them to do something for you.

[she distinctly doesn't think back to her first birthday without her parents or her village, because that isn't a road she wants to go down again]

—wait. When was your birthday?

[exothermia]

November third.

[noprophecies]

. . . [she takes one of the nuts she collected and tosses it at him, huffing]

[exothermia]

[He jerks back, and scowls at her.]

What?

[noprophecies]

I had no idea your birthday was this month.

[exothermia]

I didn't tell anyone. [He had tried to forget it himself, honestly.] Frankly I'm not sure how they knew. I must have told one of them years ago.
