“I read a little. But mostly for school.” 

Spren fluttered in through the front door. You’re welcome, she said, sounding very smug, as the hole she’d left behind her knit back together. 

Bat couldn’t hear her, but frowned at her. 

Tam jumped and spun on her- but then realized who it was and relaxed.

She nodded to Spren gratefully.

Spren glowed a little brighter and spun in a giddy circle. 

Where’d you get the other one??

Rebus swings his Plotblade is a return salute, the long, ornate sword flashing. It’d been empowering him the entire time, but now, with it in his hand, he feels fully prepared and full of power. He begins to walk forwards, spinning the blade in figure eights as he fully draws upon the power. 

The mercenaries smile and cheer, talking about the cell’s layout, introducing some people, mentioning their last jobs, speculating on what the Ghost will have them do next. It’s a rowdy conversation, but these people take her in pretty much immediately. 

Atreides grinned, setting his Blade in a defensive stance. This would be a duel for the ages.

"Might as well," she agreed cheerfully, grinning. 

Thanks

Took me more than 20 minutes... 

The sun rose and Eepy got up to find some foods. 

He sat in front of a steep drop with a deep pool of water beneath, thoughtfully rubbing a small square piece of paper between his fingers. They'd arrived behind him, so he didn't see them yet.

Cricket?! Is- is he okay?! Tam asked, panic-stricken. P-please say he's okay- actually, no, what does it look like where you are? I-I CAN COME INSTEAD-! I NEED TO MAKE SURE HE'S OKAY FOR MYSELF! CRICKET?! CRICKET!!

@TwinStorm

She was too distraught to notice.

Cricket stood by cooly, observing them. He lingered in the cave for a few minutes afterwards, before following them back.

No, no, not that one. Humans find humans all the time! I mean the other spren!

She clawed through the tree's bark and pulled out a worm, slurping it off her talon. "Foods," she chirped.

Rose poked her head out into the hall and beckoned him.

Aw, he’s shy… he won’t come out. And he says he’s not a spren.

“What sort of program are you suggesting?”

“I’m unsure. A companion thread would likely be either forgotten or swamped with nonsense.” He shakes his head. “Perhaps a blog… We can worry about that later, regardless.” 
Speaking of which, how is the podcast going?

Rebus continues walking towards him, slowly but confidently. He continue to swing his sword in figure-eights, smirking.

Atreides rushed forward, as his blade began to glow with divine power. He raised it and launched a whirlwind of attacks at Rebus.

Rebus’s blade flashes back and forth, blocking all but a few slashes. His coat is cut almost in half as he leaps a low strike and he takes a minor cut to his left forearm, used to blocking with his armor. His Plotblade doesn’t glow, but he swings it in loops at Atredies, taking advantage of his superior directional control (I think. What kind of sword is Atredies’s Blade?) to make attacks come from every side.

Rebus’s is a bastard/longsword, which means it’s long and relatively thin, and he’s been alternating between one-handing for reach and two-handing for power and control. 
Rebus blocked or dodged most attacks, but he took a minor hit to the left forearm and had a chunk taken out of his coat. Then he attacked from both sides because his blade is lighter and thus switches directions faster.

Atreides grunted, leaping backwards. Savior Complex, however large it might look, weighed relatively little if he needed it to.

"Bat ran away, just for a seconds, but Tam was desperate, so I went and found him, and she handled the rest. Sorry about that." he frowned. She seemed to care about the fact he had disappeared, which didn't seem normal for her.

Rebus presses his advantage, advancing on the man. His own blade is similarly light; the speed of the fighting is far higher than an ordinary battle, but the slight weight discrepancy still counts for something. “You’re quite good, Atredies.”

That’s fine - if you want you can send me your progress and I can do some of it.

Tam was still very confused.

She looked around the room for a second . . . but to be fair, one "spren" was enough for her. If the second one didn't want to show itself, she wouldn't complain.

She settled on Bat's shoulder again and closed her eyes.

It’s not who I want. It’s Ruia. 

She definitely wants at least Rebus and Malevolence, and she’s thinking of talking more with the cleansing guy. She’s thinking about some of the machination people, if she can work around the obvious problems.

Which made Tam panic because he was still standing.

She Narrated a little hammock for him to fall into while she jumped onto the floor. Then she brought him to to his bedroom, laid him carefully on the bed, and made the hammock vanish.

She hopped up onto the covers next to him and watched him anxiously.

Why had he just passed out like that? He'd been fine a few seconds before- what if something was wrong?!

What if the bread he'd eaten was poisoned? Or the water? She was fine, but that could have been because she hadn't drunk any-

What if he'd gotten hurt and she hadn't notice? Or worse, what if he'd tried to hurt himself again and she hadn't noticed?!

Of course, he could just be really tired-

But what if he wasn't?! What if he was dying?!

She Narrated a little machine onto his arm to check his vitals and held her breath.
