"This city does get pretty wild," He said smugly, crossing his burly arms and leaning back in his chair. Of course it was a complete act. He was just attempting to be unamused to impress her, and he was too awkward to really know how. He was used to strutting around like a peacock, but not for a...
Raghba Shahir was not yet shrouded in darkness at this time of the evening, but Harun kept them walking down the main roads. There was no shortage of scoundrels within the bowels of the deceivingly opulent city, so great fires were set all along the causeways. It did little to deter the very...
Harun marveled with her, though it was numbed from having been here before many times. None to impressed a girl however, only just to enjoy himself. Unfortunately no matter how amazing something was, one got used to these things. He found her awe helped him see it through new eyes, however...
Harun felt a bit inadequate, and yet true to himself, still fascinated. She had a cunning to her, much like his own, but still she seemed far more educated and worldly. He grinned at her question on his master, showing just how little he cared as long as it stayed a secret. It looked like she...
Kaiden grabbed a rope hanging low beside him to haul himself up. Getting to his feet, he looked very much the idealized handsome sailor, the sun peeking into the cargo area with them to wash over his legs, making his face appear that much more mysterious. eyes glinting in the shadow. He looked...
"Don't touch me," Kaiden breathed on instinct, not wanting her to be near him right now. He pushed himself out of her arms, uncomfortable with the entire affair. He would regret saying that later, but he felt that way at the moment.
He wasn't worth this! He wasn't worth her drunken stupor or...
Kaiden should have known this would happen, but he had been too busy trying to make sure he wasn't bullied by not doing his job that he couldn't focus on anything else. Rosabella stumbling out after Hacker wrenched his heart, but it was the Captain that drew his full attention of course. Kaiden...
When she broke away, he blinked in surprise. She was as soft as a pillow and warm as the spring sun, but then she turned cold and hard, backing away. Her eyes were beautiful even in suspicion, but they couldn't soften the blow of her next words. He could not believe she was accusing him of...
I do character sheets when I have to, but truth be told I also despise them. Character histories are also my bane. I'll have a few idea for them, but I mostly want to know their physical characteristics, their class/job/ and a bit of their outlook. Other than that, I love to just find out the...
His bravado and jesting self deflated, and he looked at her with care. He could never guess how such a kind hearted woman had become a pirate. Wiley yes, tough as nails, of course. But she remained ever remorseful, and she had even taken a beating for him. This woman made a habit of running...
The arrow hurt like hell, and even her caring concern for him couldn't blot out his pain fully, though it gave him renewed energy. "We can take the arrow out once we're in Blaidon. For now, hold onto me," Markus cautioned her and kicked Greycloak forward, the horse grunting with unbridaled...
"Bastard!" Markus cried at Kanagan, wishing beyond anything that he could pursue the craven fool, but knowing he couldn't leave Dahlia. Were she a normal woman, he would have done the same. But he hoped they would share many wonderful things and it was like an arrow piercing his chest, thinking...
"Slave? No, I'm..." He started, thinking her confused. He had been a slave once in his youth, in another city to the west, but he was one no longer. He was a servant to a noble, an aristocratic patron. Just because he had a master did not mean he was as beholden to someone as he had been when...
Kaiden had calmed down, and did a nice, long bit of self reflection before he understood just how stupid he had been not five seconds ago. I mean, the girl was kind hearted, adorable, and had a bit too much hold on his heart whenever she looked at him with her lovely eyes. But that was NO reason...
Kaiden was a mixture of emotions, not expecting her anger at first, but upon reflection he understood it. Kaiden betrayed no real emotion or intention after that, and it was hard to tell if he was keeping quiet and accepting her venom because he didn't know what else to do, or whether he agreed...
"I'd love to," He said, a little too quickly for his sensibilities. Damn, he needed to reign himself in. Smoothing his dark mane of hair, he reiterated. "I was planning on staying at Blaidon a few days anyway, and you're nicer than a lot of paymasters I've had. In fact, once we get there ,I can...
Markus watched her with concern and empathy, beginning to understand just how kindhearted she was. It made him see just how jaded he, himself, had become. Killing and self interest were everyday occurrences to Markus, even if he didn't partake as readily as other mercenaries. He almost spoke to...
