I'm glad you all like the doodle !
I'm about to head out to see family so I'll be busy driving for a few hours. I'll also be busy during the afternoon tomorrow. I'll get a few weekend posts out for sure, though.
"Thank you, Naomi." I'm reminded again where I'd be without her as she secures the binding, and that puts me in the mind of what each day was like before she had come into my life. When she first met me, she must have thought I had cloudy eyes bec…
...and I'm sorry about the pearls. We'll keep an eye out for them, Blackbird.
I smile at that. "...thank you, Captain. That is very kind of you." I notice then the pit fighter's gesture. It would seem awkward to curtsey without a dress, so I offer …
I fasten the belt around my hips that has my sheath and holster still attached to it, glad to be armed again with more than just magic. I take the time then to look for my necklace. In the midst of the search, I find a little black book. It is a wri…
"Naomi," I whisper so that only she, and Caess can hear me. "Her bullet stole me away from the man I loved more than most. I won't give her the chance to do so again..."
"If you love your captain, don't listen to her! As soon as she's off the ship she'll use any dark secret the crew has against you to make her money back! She's the kind of woman that will shoot you in the back, as she's done to me. You do not want h…
Yes, father was always good to me, no matter how much I spoke out of turn.
"Of course that viper would cut me off. He knows good and well that I would rather choke on my own tongue and die than marry him!" I wrinkle my nose. "I know how you got th…
I'm against the wall at this point. I don't want her anywhere near me. "How could you even help me?" She is putting me further away from the exit. Further away from my Uriah. "Get out of my way or I'll make you!"
OCC: *threatening to use wind mag…
My heart calms as Naomi and the Captain put themselves between me and her.
Uriah told me once she was called the Radiant Angel. With her eloquence she could allure men, and women alike, learning everything, and anything they knew. She would use thi…
"...I've become quite accurate." The impatient noble in me tries to interject. The woman is unarmed, what could she possibly do? Why not just have the Captain earn what you paid him?
The clouds are stirring like an impatient child tugging on thei…
I back away from her as adrenaline consumes my common sense, not even aware of the Captain that is beside me. My left hands shakes, my pounding heart causing the bloody carving to drip down my fingers. "....stay away from me...or I'll do to you wha…
My resolve dissolves slightly, and I shrink a little at my bodyguard's words. "...yes, ma'am."
Even a self-indulgent lady knows to pick her fights. I might know how to cast magic, and use a weapon, but I know my keep. Her strengths are strengths I …
