Wayde smiled widely, gazing upon dear Edeline for long precious seconds that to him felt like eternity. Oh, he'd have listened to her talk for ages, and not one word would sound dull. The boy was smitten, and Jareth could only find it amusing as he watched Wayde bask in Edeline's visage. He'd...

Rev couldn't have thought of Captain Wulfe as corrupt. No, the man he knew was one with a strong sense of justice, one who couldn't have possibly suffered something like this to happen. People would have been hanging by their necks by now, and by the roadside, too, to set an example. Though...

Edeline was naturally curious, a trait that Jareth appreciated and nurtured in her, allowing her to ask questions whenever she wanted and answering them to the best of his abilities. Yet to this question she posed, he had no answer for he, too, wondered what the giants could fear so much. No...

The whole running back and forth from person to person could have become tiring, but it was simply the nature of mercenary work. Trudy had been nice enough, though, much more willing to share information than she seemed at the very first glance, though after her encounter with the three...

He knew what he was here for. As he glanced about the walls, stared at the mirror behind which he knew all too well there were at least a couple people, Alexios finally let out a sigh of boredom. How long had it been since they brought him here? Twenty? Fourty minutes? This goddamn interrogation...

"He mentioned murders." Rev responded, though he couldn't agree more that murder seemed to be too much work for the three men they chased. Way too much work. Three louts who chased some sort of vague treasure couldn't possibly have caused Ravenport to be shut to visitors. Especially not in such...

Lin's pragmatic approach was something Jareth agreed with. If they were to find those unfortunate travelers, the road ahead would've been the best bet. Perhaps Silverhold, even. Still, there really was no harm in rummaging through whatever was left in the carriage. Sure enough, others may come...

"Oh, I know it." He responded with a nod. "You picked your teeth with the bones of tougher lads than him." He said, unable to contain the pride that filled his voice as he said it. Charlie was everything he could have possibly wished his child would be and for anyone who didn't know the truth...

The night had ended almost in the early morning, just perhaps an hour or two before the sun peeked into the world again. Rev had long forgotten to count the drinks, or their kind, or to count, at all. And the more liquor went down his throat, the hazier the world became. Now he was with one...

Her gesture of offering Jareth from the food she had grabbed was nothing short of heartwarming. Edeline had a good heart, perhaps too good for her own good, though the years spent in Jareth's company had chiseled her into a warily charitable person. However, with Jareth it was an entirely...

While the shouting of the name of a particular place that was far from here came as odd to most of the men who watched on, Rev instantly recognized what Charlie wanted of him. That one moment in an ocean of events resurfaced and for a brief second he'd remembered the advice he'd given Charlotte...

Reading Lin's emotions was one thing that Jareth had become an expert at. Then again, her big eyes always betrayed her, even when she tried her best to conceal what she was going through. Those pools of oil had the unique ability to turn the man into a puddle and dear Lin knew it well. No matter...

Dawn had come soon, and with it the endless seas of white that had covered the ground, trees and the inn overnight. Sun hadn't yet risen in the sky when Jareth, donning his winter clothing, armor padded with fur and a wolf fur cloak much like Edeline's, was already preparing the saddles of their...

There came no wolves that night. Jareth had heard their howls again just after Edeline had fallen into slumber, yet they were few and far between. He stood vigil, watching the hypnotic fire while contemplating what was to come, all until it became too tiresome, even painful, for him to keep his...

There was a swell in his heart as Charlie repeated the words that he'd drummed into her head over and over again as a child. Gentle wasn't for fighting and during her training, he'd been all but gentle. In fact, one might have said, and rightfully so, that Charlotte's worst defeats came from...

"The wolves... yes." He said, almost as if remembering about one such threat. "They are a problem, true. Luckily, wolves here are just puppies. Hardly any real danger, more like a nuisance." He continued, looking out into the darkness beyond the trees. It was quiet but then again, there were no...

"Alright." He nodded to her, corking the small bottle and tossing the cloth that he'd used to clean the wound into the fire. Rising again, he moved to deposit the bottle back in the saddlebag that he'd taken it from, noting the silence that hung heavy in the air, once again. He was prepared to...

Shedding the tunic, Rev placed it on the ground behind himself, proceeding to take the dagger that he kept hidden at the back of his waist and place it upon it. Then, the buttons of his long-sleeved shirt followed. Rev's torso was the proof of the adventures that he'd seen in his life thus far...

Rev's mind had drifted from the endless blabbering of the mayor, who sat just a few seats away from him, and his eyes fell upon Charlotte, or Charlie, as he often called her, and Albert. Some years back, he would probably have wanted to know everything there was to know about whomever it was...

He had been so absorbed in his duty of cleaning her wound, which now showed itself to be a slightly deep cut into her forehead, just barely running past her hairline, that when her small voice finally came through, it took him by surprise and for a moment, he had to stop, to look at her and make...
