"Yeah, I know. Thanks."
Her immediate urge had been to throw more shade Liam, but he was doing her a favour, and she wasn't about to be an asshole about it. They approached the store, and she jumped out of the car, jerking her head at Anjou. "Nah. I'm all good."
Jumping out of the car, she...
"We need some sort of food."
A soft breath, and the girl took her money back, stuffing it in her bag. She was nervous - but it wasn't worth arguing. This woman seemed like the only person who wanted her around at the moment.
Robyn had been prepared, in a way, for something to happen to her...
"What am I supposed to do, act like I've been kidnapped? I got my own ass in the car, and by the sounds of it, you wouldn't complain much if I bailed out the door."
She whipped her head around to glare at Liam, for a moment, and then resolved to ignore him. Instead, she side-eyed Anjou - not...
"Of course I have. Hasn't everyone?" The young girl raised an eyebrow. It seemed normal, at least to her, to know how to get out of the house. She slid after the other woman, body low to the roof, and caught the gutter on the way down. She landed to the ground with a quiet thump, knees bent, and...
Hardened eyes glanced back at the woman as her gun raised again. Robyn was unenthused. She'd never needed a weapon in her own goddamn bedroom, so of course she had nothing on her, nothing usable. As the gun lowered, she slipped off her bed, grabbing her phone and muting it. Wordlessly, she...
Watering plastic plants in the hope that they'll grow. Seeing a message flash, and then smashing up my phone...
The girl was laid out on her bed, arms behind her head, staring at the ceiling. Her music was loud enough that even through her noise-cancelling headphones the woman in the doorway...
The woman let herself be moved, semi-aware of the people around her, feeling very uncomfortable with the whole situation - starting with the gaping hole in her shoulder and the lack of her group of survivors. Her attention drifted to the sounds of the barn, the creaking of the wood in the wind...
The woman had made her way into the barn, slowly, crawling. She had one thing on her mind - getting inside.
The soft light of the barn had attracted her, like a moth to the flame that burns its wings, with no regards to the pain it could cause. She was going to die, anyways.
Slipping in the...
Rhody was comforted by the smell of the orchard. Apples were one of her favourite things - she reached up - took one off the branch. Wordlessly, she shined the apple on her blouse, offering it to Jack.
She considered his question.
"I enjoy being alive and well."
It was strange to look at him...
"Pamela. I don't like the cute - the pet names."
She gave an awkward smile. The stablehand startled her - though she knew his name and face - and she gave him a half-bow of acknowledgement. Tom looked a bit confused at the unlikely pair, though his hands were full with Hades, for which she was...
Rhody had moved, grabbing a rough brush, and starting to untangle Lyla's mane. She paused - took a second - and shook her head. "No. The Duke liked to name the horses."
She started to brush the pony, from the neck back, watching the filly spring back, then take a few shaky steps foreward. The...
Rhody smiled, letting herself be more at ease. "The young master was fond of ponies. He spent much time at the stables, and after a while.. his father decided that my care was adequate."
After a moment of silence, she spoke again, this time more quietly. "It is charity. Ten hard-working centaur...
Rhody folded the jacket nimbly. She had been expecting to carry it, but looked over her shoulder towards the house, checking the placement of the sun quickly. A larger horse was.. unlikely to need such a coat, for a few hours, at least. She turned to the house, looking back to confirm his...
Devon smiled easily as he approached.
She was made nervous by this man who knew her name, but let it hide under her flimsy demeanor, put at ease (if by anything) by the sound of the road beside. The carts and merchant-calling would heavy cover up anything that happened here - both a blessing...
Rhody stared, looking back at Jack, eyes darting to the butler. Taylor seemed less than thrilled. She watched his expression turn to appalled shock, and spoke quickly, wanting to diffuse. "It's not my place to mind."
Once Taylor (eventually) accepted the duke's words, she gave a soft smile...
Oh.
If Rhody was honest, she had hardly expected him to be a draft horse, though..
She supposed that was quite like the Duke past.
That didn't matter. They would do their jobs. Though - at least at the minute - what job she was expected to fulfill, she was unsure, all in all.
A smile pulled up...
The morning had been an interesting one.
Sandra, a cook and friends of hers, had helped her get ready. She was supposed to wear a maid's uniform - and, of course, Sandra had helped modify a few long ago - but today the chef had looked upon her friend and stopped her bustling around.

Devon considered.
Took a moment.
She stared at him, resigned herself. "I do not. I believe in honour amongst thieves, but not in your profession as one; I lead because I have no choice nor want to offend."
She stood. Took a moment, sucked her cheeks, pinched them harshly with her fingers.
The...
