Xochi observed the attack, counting the time between available breaths as she'd done the heartbeats, cataloging every symptom and potential symptom in her head. She gauged how deep she was pulling in air and how much mucus could be obstructing her airways, she even watched out for blood. Her...
Xochi gave Willow a sympathetic nod, and thought her words were polite yet similar to her own usual tone around those that held more power than her; which were most people. But there would be time for talking to Willow, and discussing the way things worked in this castle. Xochi knew Tenoch would...
Xochi genuinely smiled as the girl spoke, the Princess was much more ordinary than she had expected from it all. Where the summons had been prim and proper, and the King and Queen a force of nature, Emilie was soft and bright; a pale, morning light through curtained windows.
At the mention of...
The place was larger than he had imagined, and Tenoch wondered if he even had enough imagination in him to think up places so large. How much rock, stone and wood must it had taken to build such a place? It was bigger than any church he'd seen, but now he even wondered if maybe Gods worked with...
Tenoch eased Pitch to a stop, hands up in a placating nature as the guards advanced in warning.
"We have a summons."
"A summons?" The guard asked, "We weren't advised anyone was being summoned. Much less anyone matching the likes of you."
"We're early."
"We? Who else you got in there!"...

"I go, and it is done; the bell invites me.
Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven or to hell."

Red nodded enthusiastically at Noel, his disposition seeming to want to avoid all conflict especially the stand off Stretch and the Doctor had been engaging in. So he focused on the girl, a lot more comfortable that she was speaking his language of inquisitiveness. "Yes. For their tiny size they...
The doors slid open for them, a soft ding announcing their arrival to the soldier on duty. The Doctor noticed he seemed unfazed as they exited into a lobby of sorts, waving them on while he used the wall to doze off.
Red looked to Noel, metal face and the obscured eyes leaving him as...
"Very wise and my thinking exactly. They might just not want us telling anyone outside of here what they're doing. We might be out of those cells, Noel, but we're certainly still prisoners." She said, keeping her eyes peeled as they followed the two scientists out of the cells. They passed a few...
The Doctor got the impression that Red was losing his fear of them since he piped up at Noel's question, more talkative than before. "Well it's a tragedy, but the most we could do since it went against certain interests to preserve even such a tiny location from the resource collection. We...
"It's not in our power to do so! Even Ma'am cannot get it back for you. You'll have to take it up with the General and... well, you don't want to meet him." The General had been the one to order the Doctor and Noel into the cells in the first place. They were to remain there until the situation...
Omar took another swig of the bottle, eyes watering at the sting of the alcohol. He'd been relatively left alone, except for the occasional, "You okay, man?" From friends, stopping just long enough to grab alcohol and join the throng of people in the main part of the house.
But there were the...

With Noel's concurrence of good health the Doctor made her way out of the cell. Red nearly jumped back, giving them space as if they would attack. The other alien rattled off his queries and the Doctor eyed him pointedly.
"You seem to know a little bit about us," She said, emphasizing the word...
The second Noel scuttled onto her bunk the Doctor instinctively threw an arm around the girl, though with Ma'am's declaration she was further reassured they were in no danger from them. It was more for herself it seemed as Noel was less and less scared and more and more curious. Atta girl...
Voices in the dark, but this time they weren't the familiar memories that filled her fitful dreams. They were hard voices going against very defiant ones, but her mind was too foggy and muddled to be able to make anything out, even as her eyes began to open. Blurry figures danced behind bars as...
"From Earth I think we are somewhere in the direction of the constellation Delphinus. Much farther out though." The Doctor said, as she collected as many of the creatures as she could in her arms. She placed one on her head and another on her shoulder to make sure they only made one trip. "The...
The Doctor waved her ams as if to make the flames on the sleeves of the dress dance. "Burned or not I'll reach into the flames regardless." She said, offhandedly as she reached out and waved them around Noel with a 'whooooo' sound. "I never seem to learn my lesson."
Standing, she snapped her...
The Doctor was very obvious despite her thinking the contrary.
"I'm glad they don't anymore, querida." She said, smiling at Noel's explanation, crows feet appearing near her eyes at the touch of concern she had at the situation. She dressed leaving her hair wet as she pulled on the warm dress...
