Jasleen focused on the positives, at least. It even brought a smile as she reflected on the good times with her father. ‘Have you had time to mourn?’ He wondered if she had, on the run, or if she’d remained too tense and afraid for such a luxury as mourning. He didn’t really know how long ago it...

...out of the way of a night creature’s attempt to bite him, and in the distraction, Akanke sprinted to catch the fleeing woman and use as a shield. ~***~ Hunting hadn’t gone as planned. Lucia had to venture further out than she would have liked to find a decent meal, and she couldn’t figure...

Mikhail’s response didn't surprise Varick in the least. He hummed and modified, “If you need us to stay until you've prepared your new location, we can,” Varick wanted to be on his way, but Mikhail had been kind to them. It was a small thing they could to, to let him get settled elsewhere...

Asher’s expression screwed up a bit as she suggested college wasn’t an option, “That’s a lie,” he said, “you can get a GED, and then go to college. They have community centers where you can study for it if you need to. Once you have that, you can apply anywhere you like,” he encouraged, if that...

Lucia chuckled but shook her head at Jillian’s offer, “As useful as I am sure you would be, I do not think you want to see what the nightmares can get up to in a hunt,” she was a werewolf so she wouldn’t be unaccustomed to the gore, but she still felt it might be better. Not to mention, Marius...

The shift wasn’t all that sudden to Asher. It made sense. He was talking about creating a future, and Jasleen had never considered that for herself – so now she had to find out how others came about it. “I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do,” he said, “I got a scholarship to go to college on...

...at the audacious thought only made her laugh, and she set her phone aside. Apparently so. Well, she had other things to do. He could wait. ~***~ Staked his claim. Asher let the disgust show as he shook his head at the mere idea. Even werewolves didn’t do that, despite what popular media...

...aren’t on par with us.” Gale grit his teeth against Astarion’s interruption, but he understood what the pale elf was doing so he didn’t fuss. ~***~ Father Lorgan nodded, “Shar’s curse remains strong over the Shadowlands. Light helps, but not in all areas,” he conceded, “I cannot advise...

Bump!

...align. She’d have to ask Trystan to hack their files later to see who else they knew a substantial amount about. Perhaps purge their library. ~***~ “Then, we won’t let them get you. We won’t let you serve their purpose,” he stated, but frowned, “what…purpose do they have in mind?” Asher...

...“Yes, they probably won’t respond too favorably to a goblin appearing,” the cleric agreed. “Presuming a goblin did that to their friend.” ~***~ Father Lorgan shook his head, “I do not know. She learned in her adulthood from what I gathered. She stopped coming to visit by then. I suppose...

...huffed, “That’s well and good but how do we get her out?” Gale whisper-shouted at his companions, as Tara flew from his shoulder to the ground. ~***~ Myna let out an agonized cry as the pain seared through her when Karlach caught her, the heat scorching her chest, her back, her arms...

...even been a threat for centuries. Did I enthrall one of your own way back then to stir this obsession? Possible. She forgot all of them. ~***~ “They likely could handle it, if you want to change your mind again,” Asher offered, though it was a half-hearted offer with no teeth behind it...

...People never took that request literally anymore. They used to. ‘Did I enthrall him?’ perhaps a drinking glass, though it was so cliche. ~***~ Asher couldn't help but laugh a bit himself, softly, at her joking tone. “I don't have many adult human examples,” he offered as way of apology for...

...she didn't know what to do with the skull, but cleaning it was a start. And licking the blood off her fingers was like an electric thrill. ~***~ Asher wasn't surprised by the question at all, though the outburst startled him. He leaned back onto one hand, this time making sure he was...

...else. But she did, “Is there anything I should know in communications with Terrance?” Not that she foresaw any responding, but just in case. ~***~ Asher felt some guilt at turning her gaze away. He averted his own gaze a bit, following the cat as it moved to get attention from her...

...“I presume you already know about the Jewel hotels and their proprietor?” Given he was also childe of Corydon she assumed he would know. ~***~ Asher didn't know much, and certainly didn't know this information. He supposed it was powerful, but it was clearly not something impossible –...

...to confirm what was actually being done, first. “You can make yourself useful in the daylight hours by seeking information and contacts then.” ~***~ Asher smiled down at the cat as he came forward and crouched down to better give the cat what he desired, scratching behind an ear before...

...and not if they were scared. “And I don't have to worry about introducing her to the New Orleans coven to undo things.” Win win in Pia's book. ~***~ “I don't know,” Asher answered. “Pia sent me to check on you. I guess she was concerned you would be worried, so I wanted to let you know...

...about her from the other side. Asher's heard enough about sins for one night.” She wasn't inviting him in until she'd vetted the information. ~***~ The running was painfully obvious to the wolf's ears. As with the attempt to stay silent. He knew what it meant but managed not to sigh as he...
