Saorat's eyes darkened as she met Lyla's, murky with sorrowful resignation. It was a look Lyla had only seen once before, on a thief in the Guild with grey hair and weak knees, who had seen so much war he had stopped trying to fight it. Lyla pursed her lips. Saorat was young, likely younger than...
Lyla knew she shouldn't have snapped. Sometimes it just... happened. The orphanage and the people there- they had made her bitter. The continued violence following her escape just fueled her rages. For Lyla, the world had been bathed in red for so long that she had forgotten what other colors...
Lyla clenched the dagger in her grasp, grinding her teeth as Saorat questioned her. She didn't bother to keep the fury out of her countenance, and barely noticed when the Khajiit flinched. Saorat was saying something about 'her orders' and taking the assassin by force or something, but Lyla's...
Lyla rolled her eyes when Saorat made the comment about Shadowmere not being from Windhelm. Wow, really astute observation there, Lyla thought, and fought to keep herself from saying it out loud. Lyla knew it would do nothing but offend the Khajiit, but the dark part of her stirred in...
Stables? Lyla thought. She's going for a horse... but we already have one!
"Woah, woah, woah, hold it!" Lyla shouted. Saorat slowed and looked in her direction. "You go after him! I've got a horse!" Lyla skidded as she sharply turned back in the direction of the city. "I'll be right back, so...
Lyla felt a little regretful of her words as Saorat described her time in Windhelm. She defended the city as one would a troublesome family member. But Lyla knew Windhelm as the place where it all started- this whole mess with the Brotherhood. Besides, Lyla could barely recall the last time she...
Lyla quickly glanced back at the Khajiit- who she now knew was called Saorat. The names she had mentioned sounded almost familiar. It made her think of... spices? Maybe it was because they were Khajiit names- those always sounded sharp to Lyla. The Bosmer shook the thoughts free and remembered...
Lyla was surprised to hear the Khajiit defending her against the snarky guard, especially with the amount of barely restrained malice that she had retorted with. Lyla had been about to snap at the guard herself, but she was pleased to not have to. The Khajiit said Lyla wasn't a criminal, and...
Lyla swore as she watched her dash in the opposite direction, the Khajiit's little smirk falling away into something more concerned as she turned away from the Bosmer. Lyla knew that the Khajiit wasn't about to leave the assassin to her- the soldier was far too righteous. But she also knew that...
Hey @Sizniche, sorry to bother you but is there anything specific happening with Kara in the GM post? Nothing has to, I was just a little confused lol. Thanks!
It was not the terrified words that snapped Lyla out of her reverie, but the long tail flicking back and forth out of the corner of her eye. It lashed about like a torn sail caught in the wind. But Lyla had not needed to hear the Khajiit's words to know what she had been reeling about. Lyla knew...
Gian was somewhat taken aback by the swiftness of the bot, observing as it hovered over the dark waters. She noticed the large aquatic creatures swimming under the platform. They looked similar to Reban, but they swam. On her planet, not many creatures swam- it was far too dangerous in its...
Gian frowned, shaking another large aquatic bug into the tank with the long spiked weapon. She angled her head down, running the still-mumbling bot's words over in her head. She cleared her throat.
"I do not know what a street is, but I apologize for thinking what I did of you. I have yet to...
Lyla ran her tongue over her teeth as the Khajiit leaned into her space, whispering about what Lyla needed to do and what she needed from Lyla, as if some random do-gooder Khajiit that she didn't even know the name of had the right-!
Lyla took a deep breath, holding her tongue firmly between...
Gian shook her head at Ezro, blinking slowly in replacement of a thankful smile for his thinking of her. She knew she had known the Captain long enough for him to read the gesture for what it was. Years of growing up in the wilderness left her mostly without specific material desires, and years...
I am SO sorry I've been gone for so long. There was a death in the family so I've been busy. I will also probably not be around Wednesday(? maybe??? I dunno???) so be warned.
Despite having left her planet and uncivilized clan over 13 years ago, Gian was still unaccustomed to AIs. VIs? Demons possessing mechanics? Gian had no idea how to classify the cook's... pet. She rubbed her arms, smoothing the hair that had stood on end as she watched it fly off.
