Through the Living Hope Posted April 6 Posted April 6 10 minutes ago, Through the Living Elan said: His stomach churned as that brought up thoughts. Dark thoughts. He shook his head. Just another person. Not my problem. Others don't matter. The thoughts went against everything he stood- he had stood for. He fingered a tattoo on the inside of his wrist. A pair of black eyes, there to cover a scar. A shudder went down his spine. He didn't follow, at least not closely. But he kept track of where the person was, his mind processing as much as he could figure from that short interaction. A product. The thought sickened him, but it was all he could come up with. But then why would she be here? As she walked, she watched the people in the crowd- with apprehension, yes, but she was looking for something.

Elan bit his lip. Everyone in the undercity was interesting, he couldn't go following every random person he ran into in a crowd. But something about this person was different, interesting but... more so. He wished he had talked to her before. Now it would scare her. What do I care. She's just a random- He tried to forget about her, looking around the crowd, feeling the tension. His mind kept trying to slip back...

His mind kept trying to slip back... She didn’t look too long at any one person. Glances, listening for a whisper here and there. She glared at the same rooftop somewhere behind her a few times.

Quote *casually waiting for something to happen* *trying to avoid reading 48 pages to understand political situation* *failing* *also trying to be dark and emotional stuff but failing* *facepalm* Elan looked at the rooftop. Wondered. Glanced back. Something... was happening. Idiot. You already knew that.

You already knew that. She’d gone randomly through the crowd. She paused when she realized she’d circled back to that guy. She closed her eyes and frowned. Urilo wants people to work with him to change this place. Punching random people probably won’t get that to happen. She clenched a fist and walked up while his back was turned. “Didn’t mean to punch you.” It still sounded a bit angry. Whatever.

He tensed and whirled around. Oh. She's... "People don't normally mean to- Er, that is, punching is- I mean, that is to say-" he swallowed. Take it slow. "It's alright." He said, tense. "Really, that's my fault."
