The intrepid leader spoke up. She was surprised to hear an apology, but accepted it with a nod. Maybe he would learn. As long as he treated her with respect, she cared not. Still, his excuse was pathetic. Women had been captains for decades. โYou must be far from home.โ She chastised, not...
The honesty helped Dani relax. While she was hoping to be safer, away from Him, she knew safety was an illusion. It was just ignorance. Sheโd felt safe at home, riding the trails, but that was fake. Stupidity. The lie did nothing to keep her safe.
She was about to say sheโd come, when some...
โDo not touch me!โ Her voice was a whip, sharp enough to the man holding the blindfold to pause, even if she refused to back up. She lifted her gaze from the strip of fabric, to meet the manโs eyes. โYou are a bender, are you not?โ Those callouses might have been from weapons, but in the Earth...
Settled in the boat, Dextra scanned the beach as it neared. This was no mere scattering of people, this crew was united. Though guilt was obvious on some of the faces, even from this distance, no one was panicking or idle. Everyone had a task.

Bloody hell it was hot. If she didnโt do anything, she was going to mutiny, nevermind her crew. Standing on the quarterdeck, one boot on the railing, Dextraโs hands were in the air. It was difficult to make clouds out of nothing, but the ocean always provided. Her magic caught the spray against...
Ruthโs human was an idiot. โYou canโt stay mad at me forever.โ Perhaps, but she would not forget this. Sheโd thought she could let them leave, hunt on their own, but obviously that was not the case.
โListen, theyโre not that bad.โ Ruth watched as they lifted the conniving bowtruckle from the...
Konishi glanced up at Aiโs face by chance really. Her heart fell into her stomach. Were those tears she saw? Sheโd been balancing against crying since the announcement, having fallen off dozen of times. She recognized the familiar burning. Squeezing her eyes shut, she trusted the two to guide...

Lynn had given up. Oh, sheโd found the little Keurig cups: they were in the same box as the hot chocolate, but she was clueless where the machine was. Tossing the box onto her blank counter, she turned as she heard Aiden knock. Or well, someone. It was pretty quiet.
For a moment, the inane...
Lady Amiraโs curtsy was met with a bow. โMy duties are to the Princessโs safety and to prevent her any distress. She was safe under Alfredโs care.โ He nodded to the bailiff. โIโm glad to help.โ
Geof watched the princess bestow her blessing on the child. He allowed himself a long blink, but did...
