ealdun ersen ,  *************************it's a revolution[/color][/size] ,
the time will come for us to finally win .[/font] ***[/center] The argentum court had been hell for Ealdun; the peace ceremony had been coming up soon as always, and everything seemed to be going wrong. His sister had been freaking out once again, as she always seemed to do whenever the ceremony came up, hating having to take an atra knight into her court. It happened every year, and being one of the closest people to Ellylon, Ealdun witnessed it year after year. Being the only two in the family left, the two went through practically everything together; meaning when Ellylon was freaking out, Ealdun had practically no time to himself to relax, as he was always helping out.
And thankfully, today had been the day that the boy finally had some time to relax, get out into the mortal world, and just waste the day away without having to deal with the stress of the fae courts. After dealing endlessly with his sister's panic and upsets, and the rest of the court, the poor boy finally managed to slip away into the shadows of the court, bags packed and ready to go. Though it may of taken him weeks, he'd finally managed to arrive at the Richmond Beach, actually able to relax. Though he was aware of all the deaths that occurred, being a fae, Ealdun didn't think it applied much to him; the kelpies normally didn't dare go after a fae, and being the queen's brother, they'd have the wrath of a queen after them.
Clothed in the human's garb, Ealdun smiled to himself. As much as he loved the argentum court, he also loved the mortal realm just as much. They all seemed so... Normal and unconcerned with life. They didn't have to real with the imminent threat that their world could be destroyed by a parallel, more violent life than their own. They lived in fear of the unknown; the fear that they could die any moment by some unknown cause, as per what had been happening. As hard as a fae life could be, the mortals had it so much more easier off. With his shoes still on, he felt his feet sink slightly into the sand. The beach was quite empty; though it was a nice day, the beach had a bad rep, because of the kelpies. With his Dior glasses in place, he walked across the expanse of beach slightly, before stopping somewhat in the middle, dropping his bag and pulling out his towel, placing it on the sand calmly.
Kicking off his shoes, he smiled and stretched his body out. With a sigh of content, the boy stared down at his skin. Normally it was a dark golden, but because of how much time he'd been spending indoors at the fae court, it'd lightening significantly. Ealdun had never burned in his life, and he was quite proud of the fact he could tan so easily; it was a nice thing to have behind him. Gently, the boy tugged off his shirt, showing his chest off to the world. Immediately, the boy noticed a couple of teenage girls turn their heads his way, and he bit his lip, trying to contain his laughter. The mortal girls would never want to tangle with that boy; there was too much behind him that would ruin their lives. With a sigh of relaxation, Ealdun laid out his towel on the sand, before curling up and stretching out. He could feel the heat from the sun hitting his body, and he smiled as he took his sunglasses off.
"Finally, a break." He murmured to himself, before closing his eyes, drifting off as he relaxed.

 It was a miracle she got to do anything anymore. There was no free time to herself it seemed; ever since Arethusa anounce she'd be the one going over to Argentum. At first the girl'd been pretty aprehensive about the whole thing, actually threw up a little bit in her mouth at the idea of it. Pushing her lips tightly together she narrowed her eyes and wandered about, legs out with only a scarf covering her lower half. The bikini top itself was cute as well, only matching the colors of the scarf she used for her skirt. The wind picked up every now and then, as she wandered freely to the areas about the places. Being such a busty sort of girl, it was difficult to find cute outfits that fit you. That including bras and underwear. Well the underwear bit she didn't have to worry all too much about honsetly. It was very easy to find those. But bras...ugh. it was a true pain in the ass. Usually she had to just worry about it other days she would just wear a corset and call it a day.
She was actually heading to the beach right now, just to lay about and get some tan of sorts, so to speak. Aaliyah was pale as shit and had always been that way; wasn't planning on changing it either. Even when she was engaged to Apollo, she'd been pale. Ugh, that name came into mind again. And she threw up a bit in her mouth. Turning her head, her face scrunched into that of a grimace; and hatred. The man put a disgusting taste in her mouth now. Sure, back then when they were going to get married she didn't mind his name. And it was a rather interesting relationship between the two; to say the least. Neither were incredibly open people, and both had completely different outlooks on things. So of course it came across other's minds the question being; why did they even get engaged in the first place? Why had they even started dating?
The answer was so simple, it was complicated. Sex. That was it. The two would have that "meaningful" time together, with no one else around, and that was it. There was never a moment when she was going to be alone where she wished Apollo was home. Nope, that thought had never crossed her mind. The most Apollo wanted Aaliyah to talk about with him was her real first name. Every time he'd ask, she'd just smile and ask him why he was so worried about that when they could be doing other things. Then one day...he had to go on a mission and seemed oddly more distant than usual. Didn't even want a quicky before he left as often had been their routeen. Nope, got up and just left. Came back with some stick ass slave girl, which secretly set off Aaliyah. That little bitch couldn't hold a hair up to her. She'd run into the skinny stick of a whore once or twice; and both times informed her if she ever caught her alone, she'd be finding herself dangling from a tree above the swamp for some kelpie's next meal. Oh and, Aaliyah was always true to her word.
Licking her lips at the thought; it rather excited her. She loved the feeling of adrenaline in her system. Then again Aaliyah was quite the evil little child. Ever since she was little; mutilation of a human body had always fascinated her. She supposed that was what lead her to flee from Anthonie's love and go to the Atra court. Stepping down the bridge toward the beach, sand slowly formed on the wood. Her eyes catching a few human girls oggling a boy laying on a towel. That was disgusting. To stare down a man you never were goin to speak to. Blinking a few times, Aaliyah finally recognized the figure. It was Ealdun, her little boyfriend. Oh right and the little brother to Ellylon. A smile spread over her lips at the sight of him, the girl almost literally skipping over to see him. It was rather ironic the two would be out trying to get away from things at th same time. She slowed her pace realizing he was laying down with his eyes closed, oh she wasn't going to let this opportunitiy slip from her grasp.
She walked infront of him, before straddling him. Her hands ran from where her legs sat at his hips, up his stomach, and past his chest and onto his shoulders. As her hands moved, her body slowly pressed down onto his, until even her chest was lined up with his. A devious grin curled into the corner of her plump lips, as she moved them to speak to him. "So, my beloved Ealdun, tell me. Were you planning on letting those girls stare you down all afternoon?"

ealdun ersen , *************************it's a revolution [/color][/size] ,
the time will come for us to finally win .[/font] ***[/center] With the sun beating down on his body, Ealdun breathed out a sigh of relief. He could already feel the tan starting up on his body; he tanned incredibly easily, due to his skin. It was a lucky trait, that somehow, he was one of the only members of his family who'd inherited that trait, he could tan in the lightest of sun. He could hear the laughter and splashing of the rare group of people that were playing around, having a good time with others. A pang of regret twisted in his heart; his sister was probably worried sick, unable to find her younger brother. Ever since Ealdun and Aaliyah started dating, Ellylon had been worried sick and all about her brother. Though he understood the basics, Aaliyah being an atra knight and all, he felt overhwelmed at times. And he knew there wasn't anything he could do about it; as much as the disapproval and anger he saw in his sister's eyes when she saw them together, there was nothing he could do aboutu it.
As soon as he felt the presence of someone trailing along his body, Ealdun cracked his eyes open, and a smile of amusement lit up his face as he realized who it was; Aaliyah. Containing a snort of amusement as he saw the disappointment and curiousity mixed on the other girl's faces, Ealdun didn't care. It was a funny kind of, speak of the devil kind of moment; and he wouldn't have it any other way. The boy laid still on the towel, still partially drowsy from relaxing, and watched her align herself on his body. His eyes danced around it, noticing the girl's curves, the way her bathing suit hugged her drame, how the muscle in her body blended to the perfect shape. He wasn't a pervert at all, but he did notice certain things about people that no one else ever seemed to realize, and it seemed, with Aaliyah, he noticed everything about her. Generally, with her, the world seemed like a blur- she was the only thing that mattered to him right here and now.
"So, my beloved Ealdun, tell me. Were you planning on letting those girls stare you down all afternoon?"
The corner of his lips raised into a small smirk at her comment, and he shrugged lightly, quite amused. Human girls were human girls--they were fixated on boys, even if they weren't aware they weren't human. Shaking his head to regain his train of thought, Ealdun stared into Aaliyah's eyes, a smirk still in place among his features. He was a smug, proud little asshole; and that was something that generally brought a lot of amusement towards him. Though he wasn't uptight about it, he was a proud and corageous person, and he wouldn't trade it for the world.
"Beloved Ealdun, eh? Well, to be honest, I was drifting off to sleep, not paying much attention to those girls. They don'y want to get tangled up with me. They don't know what they'd be in for."
He smiled jokingly, to show that he wasn't serious about them. Stretching his arm out, he grabbed his sunglasses and placed them on his face, so he could watch her without being blinded by the glare of the sun shining down. Stretching his arms out quickly above his head, he laid them back down, and tilted his head to the side so it was resting on the sand, warming his cheek, while his eyes stayed fixed on her.
"Well... What would you be doing at this place on this lovely time of day?"

Aaliyah was often concerned with being too sure of herself. So what? She knew what she wanted to do with her life and herself and she knew just how to get exactly what she wanted. There was no doubt about it in her mind that if she wanted to keep Ealdun by her side the rest of her life she could some how manage to do that. May be it had been how she was raised; how she'd wrapped both her parents so successfully around her fingers before each and everyone fell down dead. Licking her lips in a slightly sensual manner, she tilted her head to the side genty alloweed her brown and blonde hair fall over her shoulder. Sure, she knew of Ellylon's disapproval. But why would she bother herself with what the queen thought about her baby brother? If anything Aaliyah should be the one worried about that pretty little blonde-ditz stepping in her way of Ealdun.
It was none of her business, honestly. Wasn't he grown up? After all he was much older than Aaliyah; who was only one hundred and six years old currently. Running her fingers through her hair she pushed it all out of her face as she sat up straight. Her butt never leaving its connection to Ealdun. Aaliyah was enjoying dating Ealdun; not because of his position in the Argentum court. Though that had certain perks and benefits to it. She wasn't ever going to date a man for power or money or anything so pety as that. She felt that if she did she was some how less of a fae; needing to have a man like that support everything that she did and everything she wanted in life. Eyes looked up at the sky for a few moments, her hands going over her eyes like a sunvisor to block that blurring light from getting into them. One eye was bright blue, the other dark brown. She'd once again forgotten to put her contacts in and it was rather ridiculous of her.
Ever since she chose Ealdun over Anthonie, she'd been trying to be true to her friend in some mannerisms. After all....he had two different colored eyes too. So she was not wearing her eye contact in well sort of honor of him. Anthonie and she hadn't spoken for a few days now, and she missed his company. But at the same time understood his not wanting to be around her. A pout formed on her lips, and she was sure Ealdun could guess as to what she was thinking about. It just wasn't fair that she had to sit here thinking about that, about how she'd broken the boy's heart. Aaliyah tried to make herself feel better by assuring herself it wasn't her fault. He was the one after all who took so long to inform her of his crush. Maybe if he'd spoken up sooner she'd be sitting ontop of Anthonie instead of Ealdun. Her stomach clenched at the thought, and she felt bad for it for..only a moment.
"Beloved Ealdun, eh? Well, to be honest, I was drifting off to sleep, not paying much attention to those girls. They don'y want to get tangled up with me. They don't know what they'd be in for."
She gave a snicker at half of him commenting her pet name for him; the other half catching his eyes looking her entire body over a few times. She didn't mind it, it was sort of a compliment. Then again why would you be bothered by your boyfriend looking you over in a rather approving manner? That was a very good thing. If he were to go and look disgusted at her, then she would feel the need to go get off of him and head back to the gym to fix herself up just a tiny bit more. But no, he didn't seem to be disgusted by her presence atop him. She was sure a few weeks ago he would've been pushing her off, yelling at her for being a disgusting Atra fae who had issues. The two had started off on such a sour note it was a miracle that they were now dating and seemed very close. She pressed her lips to his forehead lovingly in a kiss before sitting up straight again. "Oh of course. Then again you're a boy tangled up with a girl like me. I think that's bad enough."
"Well... What would you be doing at this place on this lovely time of day?"
The girl blinked a tiny bit before giving a soft smile at him. What was she doing? Oh that was a simple answer. She could come with a joke of saying 'stalking you', but she wasn't about to do that to him. Oh no she didn't want to tell a lie to Ealdun. She needed to impress Ellylon with her loyalty and that was all she knew. "Ironically, came to lay out in the sun to think. But I much rather enjoy sitting atop you."

ealdun ersen , *************************it's a revolution [/color][/size] ,
the time will come for us to finally win .[/font] ***[/center] With a look of pure bliss on his face, Ealdun's eyelids began to flutter shut once again. There was nothing like relaxing on the beach with his girl at his side. Absentmindedly, his trailed his fingers through the sand and drew a small 'i love you' in cursive letters in his writing beside his towel, without looking at it. Nothing would change how he felt right here and now, how glad he was to be sharing this moment with his girlfriend. The word provoked a tiny pang of hurt in his eyes, which made the boy frown slightly, though he hoped Aaliyah didn't notice. As much as he loved her, he couldn't help but feel the past come rushing back everytime he thought about it. The feeling of having your heart torn out of your chest and ripped up to shreds; that's what he'd experienced.
The stress and pain that'd inflicted upon him... It'd been deadly. More than once he'd thought about leaving the Argentum fae to just move somewhere and be alone, though of course he realized that it wouldn't do his sister any good to have her only family remaining move away and be left all alone in charge of the court, without her brother even near her. The argentum fae was perfect, minus his ex fiancee and ex best friend. Though the two of them were still working punishments out and would be for the rest of their lives as argentum fae, the pain would never be erased. It was one thing to be cheated on with a random person that was unaware they someone was taken... But to be cheated on with someone that knew, and was close to you... It felt like being shot through the heart. And that's what Ealdun had experienced; and at times, the pain came rushing back just as hard as before. There was nothing he could do about, though he worried about having his heart broken again... Aaliyah wasn't that kind of girl, was she? What are you, an idiot? Ealdun thought to himself, wanting to shake his head. Of course she wasn't. And neither was he. He'd been through the pain of being cheated on, and he would never inflict that upon another human being. Even someone he hated.. The pain was so intense, at times, Ealdun felt like driving a stake through his heart to put him out of his misery.
As he felt Aaliyah kiss his forehead, he blinked his eyes a good couple of times to clear them. There was no sense dwelling on the past while he was living in the future, with her, and Anthonie.
Anthonie.
The name stabbed a rusty knife into his heart. Ealdun knew his best friend's heart was broken; and he knew he was the cause of it. He loved Anthonie to death, yes, but he also loved Aaliyah... And as much as he wanted to ease the pain for his friend, he also knew he couldn't. The only way would be to break up with her, but he knew Anthonie would never allow it, because it would just hurt the two of them also. Though a couple of thoughts popped into his head about a repeat of his last near-marriage, Ealdun shook his head. It wasn't going ot happen again. Aaliyah would never do it, Anthonie would never do it.. Anthonie was his best friend, and he'd never hurt either of them. He was just, too gentle to do it, cared too much for his friends. Not that it was a bad thing, at least. But it also pained Ealdun to see Aaliyah in pain because of it, too; He knew that was much as she wanted to help, she also knew there was nothing she could do.
Staring up at her face, Ealdun's brows furrowed. There was something, different, seemingly... Off about her today. As his dark eyes narrowed, he smiled, realizing.
"Your eyes. They're like Anthonie's... You have..." His brows furrowed again, trying to think of the word, and grinned again as his eyes lit up. "Heterochromia? If Anthonie had a blue eye or you had a green, you guys would have same."
Ealdun stared at them, puzzled. Though he didn't mind it, heterochromia was an odd thing for him. Anthonie and Aaliyah were the only two people he knew with it, and because of how little he and Anthonie saw each other sometimes, he often became unaccustomed to it. He was never used to different or brilliant kind of guys, as per he himself had eyes so dark brown they were almost black, and nigh impossible to tell the different between his iris and his pupil. Though he had to admit, it was often quite amusing to watch them stare at his eyes and be unable to figure it out.
"Oh of course. Then again you're a boy tangled up with a girl like me. I think that's bad enough."
At that comment, Ealdun had to bite his lip to keep from bursting out into laughter. Not in a bad sense, just in an amused sense. He'd never really considered Aaliyah, a "bad" kind of chick, because of how he'd been raised. Also because of how the two had started out, nothing really intimidated the boy anymore. Especially not after the past he'd had. There you go, bringing it up again, idiot. He thought, giving himself a verbal smack in the face. It wasn't helping, bringing up something like that. Whatsoever.
"Ironically, came to lay out in the sun to think. But I much rather enjoy sitting atop you."
Another brilliant, amused grin lit up his face as she said it, and he gently ran his thumb across her face, brushing out the excess hair, just so he could see more of it. Gently, he traced it down her arm and enveloped her hand in his in a loving gesture, eyes looking up at her once again.
"Well, you're just going to love it I guess when I get an Aaliyah shaped tan on my front? I came to get away from the court, my sister has been going crazy. Glad to see you here too."

Post by ERLINE ADÉLAïDE AALIYAH on Sept 22, 2009 14:43:46 GMT -5
Aaliyah actually enjoyed pissing off Ellylon when ever she was around Ealdun. When the girl came around, she made sure to wrap her arms around Ealdun or mention something in a very sensual voice. Anything that she could do to bother her. She knew Ealdun had caught on to what she was doing and she was sure he didn't enjoy her teasing his sister. But Aaliyah was an asshole. She'd probably gotten it from when she had dated Apollo. All those girls who stared him down; undressing him with their eyes. She was definately the inward jealous type. Sighing, she recalled how many times she tried to go out in public with Apollo and ended up having to somehow fight off girls hitting on him. Whatever, all those whores could have that whore as much as they wanted him now. She'd never done one thing wrong to him and yet he runs off and gets some anorexic bitch instead of her? It didn't make any damn sense in her mind. Part of Aaliyah wished she knew what she had done wrong...The other part, she didn't care about.
Her fingertips twirled on Ealdun's chest gently, as she debated what to say to him. Or more like do. No, nothing nasty in public. She wasn't about to rip any clothes off out here where everyone could oggle either of them. Giving a gentle, soft sigh, the girl pushed down ontop of Ealdun laying her head in the crook of his neck. Breathing in his scent, Aaliyah enjoyed the closeness of their body just being together. Sighing gently, she felt the need to give him a kiss on the lips though she avoided doing so. The girl didn't want to move, she was enjoying their situation at the moment. Such a beautiful day out today, and she felt so gorgeous when she was with Ealdun. Which eversince her breakup with Apollo she hadn't felt that way. Being only 100lbs she still felt incredibly overweight due to her boobs. And it made her feel so good inside that even though she and Ealdun had started out on such a bad note, the two were so incredibly close now. Almost like they had been in love since the day they met.
"Your eyes. They're like Anthonie's... You have...Heterochromia? If Anthonie had a blue eye or you had a green, you guys would have same."
Her heart sank slightly as Ealdun said Anthonie's name. It hurt to hear the boy's name mentioned. And it was evident on her face as to why. She had to take the boy's heart and break it into a thousand little bits in order to date Ealdun. Her hands trailed over his bare chest, head tilting in the crook of his neck to look at the side of his face in a thoughtful manner. "Yes, heterochromia." Aaliyah was often embarassed by her different colored eyes. On other people they looked stunnin but she felt on her it made her face look fat and obese. If that was at all possible. Sometimes she sounded so stuck up in her head. Shaking her head inwardly, she smiled, laying her hand flat on his chest. "We could be very unidentical twins, I suppose if we tried." Of course she was joking. Okay maybe only a little bit of seriousness rang in her tone but otherwise it was a joke.
She knew her eyes were very rare to see in person. Or well in public generally. It wasn't a very culturally excepted thing. And growing up people had pestered her constantly about her eyes. Asking if that's how they really were and if she had contacts in or not. Which sparked that childish idea of 'i'll hide the falw that i hate'. So she bought contacts to hide the blue eye with a brown contact. It worked when she remembered to put it in. In fact most of her boyfriends had enjoyed her freakish eyes. Apparently it caused some sort of 'excitement' for them. Though she couldn't see how that helped to excite you. If anything it turned her off. Whatever, she didn't know many people with the same condition as herself. A quick unconcious lick of the lips and she sat up straight, hands running down his chest firmly as she did so.
"Well, you're just going to love it I guess when I get an Aaliyah shaped tan on my front? I came to get away from the court, my sister has been going crazy. Glad to see you here too."
A soft sigh escaped her pink lips as he smirked and brushed the hair from her face. She didn't really know how to talk to him right now. She was torn in three different directions all at once and it just wasn't fair for her to have to be going through. She shut her eyes tight for a few seconds before parting them again, staring at him in a sad manner. She managed a weak, feble smile before letting a shoulder shrug show how she wasn't sure what to say. His words had flown through her ears rather swiftly, and she wasn't about to attempt to think about what he'd said. "Everyone wants my ass tanned onto their waistline, baby doll. You've known this for some time now." Her voice held no joking tone in it, more of a sarcastic one.
Aaliyah did that often. Where one minute she ahd a happy upbeat feel, and the next was very unpleasant to be around. She blamed Apollo for how she reacted. His mood often caused hers to switch up without a single damn warning. Flipping her head back, she ran both her hands through the long blonde locks, stroking them clear back to cause a sort of elvis flip with her bang itself. "How'd you manage to get away from that hell-hole, anyway?"

Eyes squinted, even though the sunglasses, Ealdun looked even more exotic, so to say. He and his sister looked practically nothing and alike, and for that, well... He looked like he was adopted. His parents were also like his sister, so it was slightly ridiculous how confused people often got. He was outcast form his family, but in only a confusing sort of way, like with Aaliyah's eyes; they weren't compared normally to what was around them. He looked nothing like his family, and Aaliyah's eyes weren't generally seen anywhere. As she made the comment about her and Anthonie being unidentical twins, his heart kinda fluttered for a moment. They were unidentical for more reasons than she knew. No matter how Ealdun looked at it, their hair colours were different. Anthonie's real hair was black, so there was no chance that was close. And then the fact he didn't really have heterochromia... Well that put it in perspective. The only things the two had in common were really the fact there was Ealdun, and they both had pretty bad temperments when they wanted to. Not even Aaliyah beat Anthonie's temper when he was angry enough, he was like a loaded gun. But Ealdun kept that to himself. He and Anthonie had been friends for years and years, and as much as he cared about Aaliyah, giving up his best friend wasn't something he was going to do. He'd rather give up his own true name than stab Anthonie, or even Aaliyah, in the back. And if someone did get ahold of his true name... Well, he'd probably end up killing himself so that neither of them were found out. Especially Anthonie... Because of his past, so many Atra would go after him.. He'd be forced to leave Richmond for once and all.
He shook his head nervously, the memories coming back. He'd blocked most of them out so he couldn't remember them, because the last thing he wanted was to blurt it out sometime and make it slip. It had been like that after the events had first taken place, and Anthonie had faked Vaughn's death- It took a lot of effort and slipups in private before he'd finally transferred calling him Vaughn, to Anthonie. He'd murdered Atra and one of the Atra monarchs... If Aaliyah knew that Ealdun had been in league, and even helping Anthonie, well... he wasn't so sure that their relationship would last. It was well known name around the court, less now than what it was a hundred years ago, but practically every Atra knew it. Every Argentum, too. Only Ealdun, Ellylon,a nd maybe another other handful of the court that had been involved with trying to get rid of the King knew who he really was. And they'd all been sworn to secrecy, to protect who he was now. No one really knew Anthonie's true first name, and no one knew his full name. It was a mystery to Ealdun, even though they'd been friends practically since his birth, but he knew Anthonie would never disclose it unless he was needed. To protect those he held close maybe, but as a dare, or anything related to that? He'd rather take death than give it up. Because if he did... It just meant that he'd live the rest of his life in fear and hiding, the Atra after him. And without freedom, he might as well be dead.
Shaking his head once again, Ealdun groaned internally. He knew it plagued Anthonie havnig to keep secrets from everyone, but there was nothing really he could do. He was a genuinely nice guy and hated lying, but he knew if it came to it.. He would. Fallon, maybe... Though she probably already thought all fae were monsters. Aaliyah? Never. None of the atra could. Vaughn was known as a hero, but Anthonie? Just a normal solitery fae. THey were two seperate entities in his mind, and nothing would really change that.
Ealdun's eyes finally cleared as he shoved all the thoughts aside and re-focused his attention back on Aaliyah. Her mind also wasn't really there either, but he rested his arms around her waist so that they stayed steady and even. Hell, it was more for comfort than anything. She'd probably noticed the look in his eyes that meant he knew more than what he'd said, but... He wasn't admitting it. He smiled weakly at her, trying to stray her from what was really on his mind.
As the wind blew her hair around, Ealdun managed to catch a strand of it between hsi index and middle fingers, staring at it absentmindedly, moving it slightly between them. He shifted slightly, underneath her, so he was a bit more comfortable... There was no point in laying there if he was super uncomfortable too. When she spoke, he waited a moment, thinking. The boy could tell that her mood at shifted; she'd always been like that, no matter how hard. She'd change back whenever she felt the need to, otherwise there wasn't much of a point of triyng. He hadn't given up, no, but him trying to help often did nothing at all.
"A large 'distraction' that kinda made everyone go crazy. Not my fault or anything, pfft..." His voice trailed off into the wind's echo, and he sighed slightly. |
