Rick:He didn’t let himself feel relieved yet, as they were not out of the danger zone. Still, he couldn’t help but let a small smile come to his face. Logan really was a survivor.Cosmo:
He pulled the covers up to his chin and looked at the bed above him. He took a deep breath and tried to release the tension he had been holding. Quaze was gone and could no longer hurt them. They were coming home.
Tolin:
He pulled at an angle and got the stick and sheets down. He didn’t spare a glance at Kevty and Kalom. They were the least of his worries.
Remy:
”We can wait until my mother is off on her mission before trying to talk to her.”
Yael: It took him a while to become oriented again, to realize that he was once again breathing... though not truly breathing, because those were not his lungs, and he didn't control them, or feel their air in his throat, so he couldn't speak. There was a body - not his body - on top of him - but he couldn't feel the press of another person's weight. It was as if he was stuck behind a slow walker on a sidewalk, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get around them.
[He's a possession spirit, but as you can see, he is very benevolent. If you are ok with it, I though the could be inside San's mind (at least temporarily). It would be cool to see him fight Shadow!]
Logan:He looked weak, and felt a weak, but he was alive. Upon seeing Rick and the dragon, a small smile found his lips, shining in his eyes. He came back. The beeping hardly reached his ears.
(Do I know how to respond to that...no...am I going to try...YES!)
San:If nothing else, he sure was covered up and snug, just not peaceful. Who was this being floating into his dream state...familiar, yet not completely.
Calore:"I'm not especially fond of them either, unless they pose an interesting obstacle." He looked up, "Pull at an angle. Straight down won't work."
Haydi:"What can we do though?"
Kalom:He followed her, holding his nose. It surely felt broken....
(Goodnight!!(Yael is a new, but already dead goat being who died of organ failure after becoming addicted to spice as an aimless adolescent. SHadow of course was kind enough to provide it and since that moment, Yael stayed on a spice induced high! Then he died. The end.)
He stepped forward, his eyes searching Logan’s. Aeriel perched on his shoulder and whined. Please…
Cosmo:
San didn’t look especially peaceful, but he had been expecting that. He checked to make sure that his brother was snug, then he clambered up into his own bunk.
Tolin:
He tried to tug the stick free. “I don’t like walls very much. They are always getting in the way.”
Remy:
“Right. I’m glad that I don’t have to worry about it.” He was very glad that he didn’t have to face San. He wanted to shrink back from looking into his mother’s mind, but he wanted to find out more.
Yael: There was only one other body his soul knew, an ephemeral connection in the fever of a spice dream, once... Many years ago, gleaming through a glitterstim high... a slave boy... desperate druggies in a telepathic connection.
He squeezed his pin and watched the pod. He only dimly registered that he was crying. Please, Logan. I did as I promised I would.
Cosmo:
He started towards the bunkroom, well aware of the limits of his body. Sleep would be nice.
Tolin:
”You can’t exactly show me the foothold, though.“ He started to pace. “I could try positioning it closer to the wall and use that to climb up?”
Remy:
”Being close to someone is certainly not a bad thing.” He threw a grin at Haydi. “Cosmo is just close in a different way than we are. A way that my mother sees as dangerous.” He didn’t want to talk about his supposed to be younger brother.
(Popcorn)Nurse:She grew nervous, but did her best not to show it. THis would be rough on the kid, and with his already compromised health, she couldn't be sure he'd wake.
Logan:He felt himself begin to wake.
(I didn't catch it either :)
San:He stayed asleep as they took off and soared away. Waking slightly would be nice though, to keep him out of the dreams he was in.
Calore:He watched, knowing that if only he could move, he could do it... "There is a foot hold you can do to help you climb that."
Haydi:"You agree with her? How bad can being close to someone be?" he however knew the dangers.
He went tense, and his eyes darted between the various display screens. It was too far in to back out now. Come back to me, Logan.
(I just realized that they weren’t in space yet…my bad! I’ll say that Cosmo already launched them.)
Cosmo:
He let out a breath and tore his gaze away from the shrinking planet below. They were far from the orange flowers now. He cracked open his notebook and pages through the riddles, but he was too tired to look at them straight.
Tolin:
”A dedicated learner? Nice.” He tried to climb up the sheets, but he was failing miserably.
Remy:
He trusted Haydi enough to let him in on it. “My mother doesn’t like how close Cosmo is to him. She fears that it will kill him. Honestly? She’s probably right. It will at least make it easier to talk to her once she is watching them.”
Nurse:She worked carefully and finally, a lot of beeping started sounding. "He's ok. This is expected."
San:His mind took him to dark places, places he hadn't been in for a long time.
Calore:He nodded, "It's comes easily to me, and the stuff that doesn't, I care enough to learn it." He shrugged. No one had noticed that, just his irresponsible traits.
His eyes narrowed and he realized that he should have read up on the mechanics cryosleep pods before asking anyone to toggle with one. “I understand.”
Cosmo:
”It’s safer this way. I still have my inhaler, and I never wanted that medicine in the first place.” He pressed a button and watched as it was sucked into space.
Tolin:
He shot and the stick sank into the mud. He tried pulling on the sheets a few times, and it held. ”You like geometry and physics?”
Remy:
“She would, actually, but there isn’t so much that she can do.” It made him feel uneasy.
She nodded and hit a few buttons; a small hiss being released. "It should take only a few minutes. His numbers may spike as soon as he wakes, but don't let the freak you out too bad. I'll keep an eye on it and intervene if something is actually wrong."
(Cosmo...)San:He didn't know what Cosmo had been carrying around, or what he was about to do with it, dreams began to plague him instead.
Calore:"Parkour genius. That is all launching, landing, angles." He shrugged, "It just makes sense to me."
Haydi:"And she wouldn't hurt him right?"
Kalom:"Strong kid?"
Rayma:"You can say I told you so and punch me in the nose."
”Yes, I do wish to wake him now.” He squeezed a hand around his pin and prepared himself for the challenge ahead. This would not be easy. He had gotten Logan into this mess, now he needed to get him out of it.
Cosmo:
”Thank you,“ he said softly. He walked over to the airlock, opened it, and set the medicine down. He hesitated for a second. What if he got into a situation where he needed it? No, he couldn’t risk it. He closed the airlock and prepared to send the thing out into space.
Tolin:
He listened to what Calore was saying as he took aim. “Have you done something like this before?”
Remy:
”Just my mom.” Frankly, he was scared to talk to San. Haydi had been accepting, but who knows? The loss of children was hard to bear.
Nurse:"You wish to wake him now?" she asked, moving towards the pod. "His levels are good and he has only ben in dream cycles a few times."
San:He nodded and kicked off his boots, tugging on his shirt. The bed looked comfy and Cosmo said he had it. "I believe in you." He muttered as he lay down.
Calore:"Be careful of the kickback so it doesn't hit the end and angel it just a slight bit more."
Haydi:"Oh fun for him..." He muttered, "We could warn him, but it's just your mom watching him right?"
”Hello,” he greeted. “Could you please bring Logan out of cryosleep?” He pulled out his data pad and searched something up. The procedure was delicate, but with his sturdy hands, Aeriel helping, and the technology available to them, he figured that it could be done.
Cosmo:
”I will be okay.” This time, he would not let them crash. “You can rest.” He finished his hot chocolate.
Tolin:
He tugged it back down. “That is why I have to try again.” He fiddled with the blaster again. “It should shoot with more force now.”
Remy:
”He has gotten close to killing her before, and he has snuck onto her ship a few times. She doesn’t want to risk it.” He could feel Miranda becoming more aware of his presence, and he didn’t like it.
Nurse:She had been checking his levels and looked at whoever was entering. "Sir. Welcome." She stepped back.
San:He stumbled towards the bed, "Need help?" He muttered, his lips feeling like they were falling asleep.
Calore:He raised a brow, "That's not gonna stay." He muttered. "Not all the way to the top at least."
San:"Why is she so paranoid about San? I don't understand the hype." He had been fun to chase, but even in his bounty hunter days, he had never understood.
Kalom:"Are you close to one of the kids out there?"
Rayma:"Maybe a nap will do you and Rick and Cassi junior good?"
At the heart of everything, he knew that the person he could trust most was himself. Four days had passed, so he was making good on his promise. He entered the small private room off of the med bay.
Cosmo:
”It might take me a while to take off, but I will be in right after.” He would have to review the manual first.
Tolin:
”I’m going to try to make myself a rope right up to the ceiling.” He shot the blaster, and the stick sailed out with the sheets trailing behind. The stick landed in the wall, but it wasn’t in a form enough position.
Remy:
”Yeah.” He shifted uncomfortably. “I think Miranda wants Mayella to do more spying on San. She doesn’t want him to get anywhere near her ship.” He knew that his mother enjoyed watching Cosmo, but she was worried.
”It has been good to see both of you.” He gave them a nod, then he started down the hall. The messenger followed him.Cosmo:
The spice felt hot in his pocket, but he had no intention of using it in that way. “I would never.” He smiled, then opened the door to the bunkroom for San. “You can rest now. I’ll get the ship into the air, then I’ll come in and get some rest myself.”
Tolin:
”Eh, a bit difficult.” He fiddled with the blaster and opened it up, then stuck the stick inside. He died the end of the cloth to the stick. “I’ll have to try a few times.”
Remy:
He tried to find his mother through the connection he shared with her. Where was she? He could feel her with Miranda, and that scared him. He could catch a few words of what they were saying. Miranda didn’t want San going after her ship and snag the pod. Mayella was begging for Miranda to send something to kill San. “I don’t know if I can talk to my mother without Miranda overhearing…”
”It is not your fault. Do not worry. I can fill you in later.” He was grateful that she had taken on the burden of the added hormones in a pregnancy. He wasn’t sure if he could have dealt with it at all. The messenger took Raz’s body and waited for him in the hall.
Cosmo:
”It’s a precaution that you always have to be aware of.” He opened the door to the ship, then handed San the blanket. “The only spice I put in the hot chocolate was a hint of cinnamon,” he said lightly.
Tolin:
He took the materials and came back. “This should work just fine.” He started to sharpen a stick to a razor thin blade.
Kira:"I...I know." She looked towards Rand for help, but she wasn't even sure what she would get.
San:He nodded, "People have accidentally given it to me before due to good intentions...Trying to help by poisoning me...Its an unfortunate truth." He was feeling less sleepy as they went.
”I can in here alone,” she pointed out. “I was perfectly okay.”
Cosmo:
From what he knew, there were different types of spice, some more common or more dangerous than others. He would have to ask San more, but after he had rested. “It’s common enough that most people would never think it to be your weakness.” He spotted their ship and led them that way.
His pocket was secure, but he did not want San to have to go through that. “It would be good to know why Shadow chose spice out of all the things he could have,” he said softly, then looked over at San. “But we can get our answers.”
Kira:"If I got you to the good spot of town, could you find your way home?"
San:He shrugged, "I just know I feel sick and fearful when I see it...Like something grabs my heart and squeezes it."Calore:That didn't really answer his question.
”The number 2 can’t always be rational, for when it is squared, it becomes irrational,” he said softly. “It’s okay, Cassi. I can do this.” He ordered the messenger to take Raz’s body.
Rand:
This was going to take all day, wasn‘t it?!? “Where is your father?”
Prixia:
”He’s trying to manage the clan right now. I’m not entirely sure.”
Cosmo:
He remembered the spice medicine and knew that he would have to get rid of it as soon as he could. “Or experiences with the drugs were far different, but I can see the similarities.” The lingering smell of the flowers made him want to puke again.
Tolin:
”It seems like they have a lot of differences to resolve.” He walked forward and tried to take the sheets and blaster.
Kira:She nodded, "We need to return the kid to her dad first. It's the right thing to do." She wasn't aware that Blayke had gone missing, but they didn't need another missing child.
San:He looked at the orange and nodded, "You likely feel the same towards them, that I do towards spice." He didn't know that Cosmo had Spice in his possession. Or had had it.
Calore:He studied him for a moment and then finally asked, "What are they doing...?"
Rayma:She looked between them, giving Rick a hard look for a moment. You chose the emotional wife, now you get to deal with the emotions.
Kalom:"I am?" his hand moved towards his nose and dabbed the area beneath it. "Oh."
”We’ll have to take a ship. The noise the girl made is going to make everyone on edge for strangers. I can’t get caught.” He didn’t want to be traced back to what had happened in Clan Gray.
Cosmo:
”Sorry, I just really don’t like these flowers,” he mumbled. These flowers had uprooted his life. He was relieved to see plain green grass ahead.
Tolin:
”This is just ridiculous.” He put a hand over his face. “I am going to take the materials they got and do it myself.”
Rick:
”Cassi, can you think rationally right now?“ he asked her straightforwardly.
He stowed the cord away. “Now that this girl is tagging along, we need to change plans.”Cosmo:
He was thinking of the man who he had thought had been his father. Had he come to this very spot to pick these flowers? How could he have known that his research would be what brought his doom? His heart twisted as he thought of the last time he had seen him. He moved them ever faster, determined to get out of the field.
Tolin:
”I dunno.” He wasn’t sure if Calore would want to know about this. “Nothing entirely productive.”
Rick:
He glanced back at Cassi in hopes that she would have calmed down. He wanted to talk to her before proceeding with Logan.
Kira:She relented and took his arm, letting him help keep her upright. Her hands were supposed to be tied behind her back, but he must have untied it somewhere along the way, because she had used her hands...
:]
San:He listened to the silence until her felt uneasy and then peeked at Cosmo. What was going through his head?
Calore:He raised a brow, "What are they doing?" he tried to see, but it was out of his line of vision.
He spotted the spines of a fallen ship and steered them clear from that. It was more likely than not the wreck he had caused. It all felt like a dream when he thought about it now.
Tolin:
”I don’t think they would appreciate me barging in much.” He looked up at the ceiling and tried to calculate how much time had passed.
Rick:
He opened the door of the room and was immediately approached by a messenger. He learned that the sweep was going well. Several of Fotarah’s bugs had been found and removed, but there could still be more. Nothing suspicious had been found as of yet. He was still wary from what Pazali had told him.
Kira:She limped behind, trying to convince her legs not to give out. Between the pain in her legs and abdomen, she was suffering a little, but knew the young child needed him more.
San:he nodded and shut his eyes again, "Well, I can do that." He wanted to do more, and being there just felt like not enough. It hadn't been for Kevty.
Calore:He watched him go and then heard him coming back, "They are? Would you be able to help?"
Kalom:He felt better once she nodded that she was fine. He didn't know what to do or where to put his hands. She was technically still a married woman, and he was not going to be some sort of other man. "Try taking some deep breaths." He coached, slowing his breathing, hoping she'd follow his lead.
He pulled Prixia down the street, and she quickly followed him. “We need to take another side alley. People are going to be more alert for strangers now.”
Cosmo:
”You being here helps a lot,” he replied honestly. San had been the one who had put everything on the line to save him from it multiple times. Being with him made him feel significantly safer.
Tolin:
”I’ll take a quick peek.” He stood up and took a few steps, then came back. He didn’t see the fall, but he did see Kevty in Kalom’s arms. “It looks like they are working together just fine. It might take them a while to finish, though.”
Kevty"Thats the difference. They dont want me. And they're adults. They can choose that." she turned to head back to the boys, "I never should have been a mother. Look what's become of my children."
KevtyShe was watching the sheets in his hands, "Yeah. They play pretend or some nonsense all the time, Instead of trying to figure out about our babies or anything."
Kevty"Most of the time I just see a shadow of the man I loved. I se the man who kept me from chasing after them the night they were stolen. and the man who went to rescue Cosmo," she spat the name, "And made me leave my children there again."
Kalom:This sounded really familiar, "Is it fair to him or you to fake it? If he's not in love, you deserve love, and you aren't able to forgive him, he may deserve that, then why live in pain...What do you see and feel when you look at him?" He asked softly, moving slowly as he checked on each knot.
Kevty"I'll admit I was a pretty terrible wife these last 16 years. But I dont know if I can ever forgive him for abandoning my children with her, and not letting me save them."
KalomHe shook his head, "I can't sympathies with that...I was never given the opportunity to lose any. I have never had kids." Not due to him not wanting any, he always had. He never had kids due to never his relationship not seeming to work out.
(After waiting a really long time!!

Rick: He didn’t let himself feel relieved yet, as they were not out of the danger zone. Still, he couldn’t help but let a small smile come to his face. Logan really was a survivor. Cosmo:

(Who’s Yael? (I’m multitasking so I can’t go look)
Kevty
she led the way
(goodnight!)
Rick:
He stepped forward, his eyes searching Logan’s. Aeriel perched on his shoulder and whined. Please…
Cosmo:
San didn’t look especially peaceful, but he had been expecting that. He checked to make sure that his brother was snug, then he clambered up into his own bunk.
Tolin:
He tried to tug the stick free. “I don’t like walls very much. They are always getting in the way.”

“Right. I’m glad that I don’t have to worry about it.” He was very glad that he didn’t have to face San. He wanted to shrink back from looking into his mother’s mind, but he wanted to find out more.

(Had to go find out who Yael was, and now that I know, I'm intrigued.)
Logan: The pod opened with a cold hiss and his body shivered, the beeping still ringing through the room.
San: His dream consisted vaguely of a goat type creature. Odd.
Calore: "The foothold is simple." He said softly, "But the wall could also be a valuable tool."
Haydi: He nodded, "Seems as if he'll have to face the San curse if he decides to stay..."
Rick:
He squeezed his pin and watched the pod. He only dimly registered that he was crying. Please, Logan. I did as I promised I would.
Cosmo:
He started towards the bunkroom, well aware of the limits of his body. Sleep would be nice.
Tolin:
”You can’t exactly show me the foothold, though.“ He started to pace. “I could try positioning it closer to the wall and use that to climb up?”
Remy:
”Being close to someone is certainly not a bad thing.” He threw a grin at Haydi. “Cosmo is just close in a different way than we are. A way that my mother sees as dangerous.” He didn’t want to talk about his supposed to be younger brother.
Yael: His aimless, placeless spirit spun through space. He was homeless, cold, alone. Not much different than his life the past few years.
(Popcorn) Nurse: She grew nervous, but did her best not to show it. THis would be rough on the kid, and with his already compromised health, she couldn't be sure he'd wake.

”let’s get back to the boys.” It was easier to be snappy than to try to care
(Popcorn!) Rick:
He went tense, and his eyes darted between the various display screens. It was too far in to back out now. Come back to me, Logan.
(I just realized that they weren’t in space yet…my bad! I’ll say that Cosmo already launched them.)
Cosmo:
He let out a breath and tore his gaze away from the shrinking planet below. They were far from the orange flowers now. He cracked open his notebook and pages through the riddles, but he was too tired to look at them straight.

He trusted Haydi enough to let him in on it. “My mother doesn’t like how close Cosmo is to him. She fears that it will kill him. Honestly? She’s probably right. It will at least make it easier to talk to her once she is watching them.”
Kalom: He straightened up, a slight bit of fear flashing through him. "Yes Ma'am." he wiped the blood away, "I'm sorry..."
Kevty
”don’t be a cry baby.” she snapped
Kalom: "Took after you." He looked at the blood on his fingers and winced. "I hate blood."
Kevty
”very.”
Nurse: She worked carefully and finally, a lot of beeping started sounding. "He's ok. This is expected."
San: His mind took him to dark places, places he hadn't been in for a long time.

she watched
Rayma: she nodded and looked at Cassi.
San: "You'll only be a few minutes?" he asked, shuffling towards the bunks.
Calore: "What are you trying to do?" He asked watching.
(Oh my.) Haydi: "Are they together?" He asked softly.
Kalom: "Does it matter what they think? We know the truth."
Kevty
"they wouldnt believe that."
Rick:
”It has been good to see both of you.” He gave them a nod, then he started down the hall. The messenger followed him. Cosmo:
The spice felt hot in his pocket, but he had no intention of using it in that way. “I would never.” He smiled, then opened the door to the bunkroom for San. “You can rest now. I’ll get the ship into the air, then I’ll come in and get some rest myself.”
Tolin:
”Eh, a bit difficult.” He fiddled with the blaster and opened it up, then stuck the stick inside. He died the end of the cloth to the stick. “I’ll have to try a few times.”
Remy:
He tried to find his mother through the connection he shared with her. Where was she? He could feel her with Miranda, and that scared him. He could catch a few words of what they were saying. Miranda didn’t want San going after her ship and snag the pod. Mayella was begging for Miranda to send something to kill San. “I don’t know if I can talk to my mother without Miranda overhearing…”
Kalom: "Or I claim idiocy and say I ran into the wall. I did do that.'
Kevty
“it’s purple.”
Kalom: "Not if we fix it."
Cassi
she sniffled
Kevty
"I just can. But they'll probably think I punched you."
Rayma: "I'll stay with her." She said softly, "At least for a bit." She still had to leave to retrieve their son.
San: He smirked and looked at him, "I sure am grateful for that. I'd never see it coming from you."
Calore: "How hard could it possibly be?" He looked up towards the ceiling. THis would have been something that would have used to excite him...
Kalom: "How can you tell?"
(Popcorn!) Rick:
”It is not your fault. Do not worry. I can fill you in later.” He was grateful that she had taken on the burden of the added hormones in a pregnancy. He wasn’t sure if he could have dealt with it at all. The messenger took Raz’s body and waited for him in the hall.
Cosmo:
”It’s a precaution that you always have to be aware of.” He opened the door to the ship, then handed San the blanket. “The only spice I put in the hot chocolate was a hint of cinnamon,” he said lightly.
Tolin:
He took the materials and came back. “This should work just fine.” He started to sharpen a stick to a razor thin blade.
Kevty
"No."
Kalom: At least she was honest, "Think I broke it?"
Rayma: She winced.
Kevty
”not at all.”
Cassi
”I’m sorry!!”
Kira: "I...I know." She looked towards Rand for help, but she wasn't even sure what she would get.
San: He nodded, "People have accidentally given it to me before due to good intentions...Trying to help by poisoning me...Its an unfortunate truth." He was feeling less sleepy as they went.
(bye again!)
Prixia:
”I can in here alone,” she pointed out. “I was perfectly okay.”
Cosmo:
From what he knew, there were different types of spice, some more common or more dangerous than others. He would have to ask San more, but after he had rested. “It’s common enough that most people would never think it to be your weakness.” He spotted their ship and led them that way.
Kira: "I'm not comfortable leaving you here alone." She whispered to the young girl.
San: "It's something I'd like to know too...My theory is because it is so common. The more of an item, the more I'd have to face it."
Prixia:
”I can find my way home from here, too.” Cosmo:
His pocket was secure, but he did not want San to have to go through that. “It would be good to know why Shadow chose spice out of all the things he could have,” he said softly, then looked over at San. “But we can get our answers.”
Rayma: This was ridiculous.
Kira: "If I got you to the good spot of town, could you find your way home?"
San: He shrugged, "I just know I feel sick and fearful when I see it...Like something grabs my heart and squeezes it." Calore: That didn't really answer his question.
Rick:
”The number 2 can’t always be rational, for when it is squared, it becomes irrational,” he said softly. “It’s okay, Cassi. I can do this.” He ordered the messenger to take Raz’s body.
Rand:
This was going to take all day, wasn‘t it?!? “Where is your father?”
Prixia:
”He’s trying to manage the clan right now. I’m not entirely sure.”
Cosmo:
He remembered the spice medicine and knew that he would have to get rid of it as soon as he could. “Or experiences with the drugs were far different, but I can see the similarities.” The lingering smell of the flowers made him want to puke again.
Tolin:
”It seems like they have a lot of differences to resolve.” He walked forward and tried to take the sheets and blaster.
Rayma: She raised a brow and looked pointedly at Rick.
Kalom: "Does my nose look ok?" it was getting a bit purply in color.
Kevty
she nodded
Cassi
”I’m always rational!”
Kira: She nodded, "We need to return the kid to her dad first. It's the right thing to do." She wasn't aware that Blayke had gone missing, but they didn't need another missing child.
San: He looked at the orange and nodded, "You likely feel the same towards them, that I do towards spice." He didn't know that Cosmo had Spice in his possession. Or had had it.
Calore: He studied him for a moment and then finally asked, "What are they doing...?"
Rayma: She looked between them, giving Rick a hard look for a moment. You chose the emotional wife, now you get to deal with the emotions.
Kalom: "I am?" his hand moved towards his nose and dabbed the area beneath it. "Oh."
(bye!)
Rand:
”We’ll have to take a ship. The noise the girl made is going to make everyone on edge for strangers. I can’t get caught.” He didn’t want to be traced back to what had happened in Clan Gray.
Cosmo:
”Sorry, I just really don’t like these flowers,” he mumbled. These flowers had uprooted his life. He was relieved to see plain green grass ahead.
Tolin:
”This is just ridiculous.” He put a hand over his face. “I am going to take the materials they got and do it myself.”
Rick:
”Cassi, can you think rationally right now?“ he asked her straightforwardly.
(I gtg!)
Kevty
”yes. But you’re bleeding.”
Cassi
she was slowly calming down
(Unless she has really flexible shoulders, half of what she did with Prixia would be impossible XD!)
Kira: "Change them to what?" she whispered, her hands apparently free.
San: "Cosmo?" he muttered, "what's wrong?" sleep was being chased away and replaced with worry.
Calore: "Then why couldn't we help them be more productive?" He thought Tolin was in a hurry, but now he seemed fine with waiting?
Rayma: She was near Cassi, watching her. She didn't blame her for being upset, that baby was counting on her.
Kalom: You sure you are ok." He helped them sit up a bit, blood still dripping down and across his lip.
(Oh…I forgot too!)
Rand:
He stowed the cord away. “Now that this girl is tagging along, we need to change plans.” Cosmo:
He was thinking of the man who he had thought had been his father. Had he come to this very spot to pick these flowers? How could he have known that his research would be what brought his doom? His heart twisted as he thought of the last time he had seen him. He moved them ever faster, determined to get out of the field.
Tolin:
”I dunno.” He wasn’t sure if Calore would want to know about this. “Nothing entirely productive.”
Rick:
He glanced back at Cassi in hopes that she would have calmed down. He wanted to talk to her before proceeding with Logan.
Kevty
”all good.”
Kira: She relented and took his arm, letting him help keep her upright. Her hands were supposed to be tied behind her back, but he must have untied it somewhere along the way, because she had used her hands...
:]
San: He listened to the silence until her felt uneasy and then peeked at Cosmo. What was going through his head?
Calore: He raised a brow, "What are they doing?" he tried to see, but it was out of his line of vision.
Logan: He lay in the med bay, still asleep.
Kalom: "I'm so sorry." he breathed.
Kevty
she nodded
Rand:
He noticed Kira’s limp and offered her an arm.
Cosmo:
He spotted the spines of a fallen ship and steered them clear from that. It was more likely than not the wreck he had caused. It all felt like a dream when he thought about it now.
Tolin:
”I don’t think they would appreciate me barging in much.” He looked up at the ceiling and tried to calculate how much time had passed.
Rick:
He opened the door of the room and was immediately approached by a messenger. He learned that the sweep was going well. Several of Fotarah’s bugs had been found and removed, but there could still be more. Nothing suspicious had been found as of yet. He was still wary from what Pazali had told him.
Kalom: "Blondie?" He breathed, "Better?"
Kevty
she caught her breath
Kira: She limped behind, trying to convince her legs not to give out. Between the pain in her legs and abdomen, she was suffering a little, but knew the young child needed him more.
San: he nodded and shut his eyes again, "Well, I can do that." He wanted to do more, and being there just felt like not enough. It hadn't been for Kevty.
Calore: He watched him go and then heard him coming back, "They are? Would you be able to help?"
Kalom: He felt better once she nodded that she was fine. He didn't know what to do or where to put his hands. She was technically still a married woman, and he was not going to be some sort of other man. "Try taking some deep breaths." He coached, slowing his breathing, hoping she'd follow his lead.
Rand:
He pulled Prixia down the street, and she quickly followed him. “We need to take another side alley. People are going to be more alert for strangers now.”
Cosmo:
”You being here helps a lot,” he replied honestly. San had been the one who had put everything on the line to save him from it multiple times. Being with him made him feel significantly safer.
Tolin:
”I’ll take a quick peek.” He stood up and took a few steps, then came back. He didn’t see the fall, but he did see Kevty in Kalom’s arms. “It looks like they are working together just fine. It might take them a while to finish, though.”
(bye!) Kevty
she wheezed,tring to catch her breath, nodding that she was fine
Kalom: His hand found her back and he looked at her, "I'm sorry. Are you ok?" he felt horrible!
(I gtg for the night. Bye!)
Kevty
she had the wind knocked out of her, but was otherwise fine.
Kalom: He grunted and awkwardly caught her. Please don't be hurt.
Kevty
She slammed straight into him
Kalom: He twisted and tried to catch her, hearing the yelp. His nose pounded and already some blood found its way out.
Kevty
She lost her footing and went flying forward with a yelp
Kalom: He threw all his weight the other way. He didn't account for the wall that was far too close and hit it with his face.
Kevty
she obeyed
Kalom: He gave her one end of it, "Just hold tight and brace yourself."
Kevty "Ok."
Kalom: He shrugged, "Fine by me. Blondie, do you want to help me weight test this?"
Kevty
"Blondie." she said over her shoulder
Kalom: He kept tugging on the knots. "You are Kevty, aren't you?"
Kevt "Lets get this done"
Kalom: "Clean slate in Fenn, if he can't remember, he also can't have any preconceived notions of you. As for Cassi, maybe she'll come around..."
Kevt "Fenn cant even remember who I am. Cassi doesnt like me."
Kalom: "They needed and need you...a child, even as an adults needs their parents...You can become their friend if nothing else."
Kevt
"They set out for their own lives. they never needed me."
Kalom: He thought about that, "Maybe its just that they don't know you yet." he didn't know about Calore.
Kevty "Thats the difference. They dont want me. And they're adults. They can choose that." she turned to head back to the boys, "I never should have been a mother. Look what's become of my children."
Kalom: "And if I could help you, would you accept my help?"
Kevty "Yes. Both of them."
Kalom: "And do you want them? Either of them?"
Kevty
She shrugged, "Cassi may be with Miranda, or may be with Rick. Fenn.... I have no clue."
Kalom: He nodded, trying to keep her calm, "Where are your twins now?" did she know?
Kevty
"I KNOW THAT!"
Kalom: "They play pretend?" he wrinkled his nose, "Living in a fantasy...the real world should come first."
Kevty She was watching the sheets in his hands, "Yeah. They play pretend or some nonsense all the time, Instead of trying to figure out about our babies or anything."
Kalom: "It may be time to give him a call...Busy with Cosmo?" he studied her face.
Kevty
"No. we dont talk much. He's too busy with Cosmo."
Kalom: He nodded slowly, letting that sink in, "Have you told him how you are feeling?" Was she Kevty Braze? "Discussed an end with him?"
(Shadow.)
Kevty "Most of the time I just see a shadow of the man I loved. I se the man who kept me from chasing after them the night they were stolen. and the man who went to rescue Cosmo," she spat the name, "And made me leave my children there again."
Kalom: This sounded really familiar, "Is it fair to him or you to fake it? If he's not in love, you deserve love, and you aren't able to forgive him, he may deserve that, then why live in pain...What do you see and feel when you look at him?" He asked softly, moving slowly as he checked on each knot.
Kevty "I'll admit I was a pretty terrible wife these last 16 years. But I dont know if I can ever forgive him for abandoning my children with her, and not letting me save them."
Kalom He shook his head, "I can't sympathies with that...I was never given the opportunity to lose any. I have never had kids." Not due to him not wanting any, he always had. He never had kids due to never his relationship not seeming to work out.
