Kingdom of Ashes IC discussion (What if we held a war and *everybody* came?)

[Archon]

He turns to Justice and raises his voice, a first since you've known him, and pronouncs each word clearly.
"NO ONE GOES ALONE....." calming down and choking back tears, "...we will ALL be with her in her journey. We can not chance....we can not loose another."

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

"Sometimes, you must risk yourself for the sake of the others, Archonus. Isn't that the lesson you teach through your every action?"

 

[Archon]

"This is not about me Fairweather this is about doing what we need to do. Flying to Caer Melyn will take longer then waiting for Xath to rest. Her magic can take ALL of us there in the shortest amount of time safely." softening his tone he walks up to Justice and places his hands gently on her shoulders. With care in his voice and in his eyes he says,
"Justice, I know how it feels to loose a sister. But fear not. We WILL bring her back. No matter the cost."

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

Justice bites her lower lip and sighs deeply. Slowly, she leans her head to the right, resting her cheek on Archonus' hand... looking like a small, lost girl that has just found her way, she looks into Archon's eyes... her voice matches her girlish appearance and the fire in her eyes vanishes...

"I just found her. I cannot lose her. If I must wait, I will wait... I'm just so... scared."

Abruptly, she shifts from little girl to fierce woman. Determination, once again, finds its way to Justice. Her voice is hard:

"I need healing if I'm to fight." *muttering under her breath as she tries, but fails to stand* "Maybe I'm not as fine as I thought before."

 

[Archon]

Archon kneels down next to Justice and brushes some of her hair out of her face as he whispers to her and smiles. "i'm scared too, but it's going to be alright. Trust me."

 

[AIM-54]

"Archon speak good. First rest, heal. Then smash." He grins. "Then save Laurel.

"Justice you have friends. Together we strong. Smash good. Bring you and sister back together. Melyn may be own risk, make sure this risk finished first.

"You see. Together all be good." He smiles, portraying an innocent certainty that his eyes belie to those with the skill to see.

 

[Xath]

During the conversation, Xath has been staring up at the tree and the eagle, tears in her eyes. She has not been paying attention to the conversation around her; rather, she seems to be staring at something that is neither here nor there, remembering a time not too long ago, where she too was in L'Aurel's position.

 

[Archon]

Secrets

After breakfast Archonus heads back to his room to get dressed. As he nears his door his thoughts are broken by the realization that he has forgotten his journal out in the dinning hall...

 

[Laurel]

more IC intrigue

Penny not seeing anything but her Archon leaving the table gives but a fleeting 'see ya' over her shoulder, as she quickly follows him out of the hall clutching a spell book to her chest. Once she sees him going into his room, she turns as if to go into hers...

 

[Xath]

Xath sees the book lying on the table and looks at the cover to see if a name is on the cover. Not finding one, she opens the book to look at the inside cover, where she sees an inscription:

To Archonus, with love from Dara.

Having found the owner's name, Xath closes the book and goes back to the rooms. She knocks on Archonus' door, hoping to return it to him.
