Queen looked up at him, concerned. "You didn't frustrate me! It's these powers. Life was a lot simpler before I had them, but I know how useful they'll be. It's just...hard, is all."

It only ever really gets more difficult."

Bearer of all agonies he/him Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 7 hours ago, DramaQueen said: Queen shrugged. "It might be concentrational..." It's pretty hard to focus on anything but you. Wow. You’re really laying it on thick. 4 hours ago, Nathrangking said: I return my attention to Daolan. "The first step is to make this camp more difficult to assault. The enemy may come. If they do you will want to make things difficult for them. If you have not already set traps at intervals surrounding this camp. Select your best fighters and relieve them of their duties. I shall begin their training as soon as possible." Quote Quote Hey f you need me I can make walls. Or I could summon a small army.

Scarletfox Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Quote Ok, so I know that Fadran and Queen are off somewhere having a moment, Nath is meeting with Daolan and some other people, where is everyone else?

Quote Daolan, Herate, Nath, Wrenden, and Fox. I think. Pretty sure everyone else is in the tent.
Nathrangking he/him Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 On 10/23/2020 at 4:57 PM, Condensation said: "Of course." Daolan stood up and marched toward the camp's perimeter. Herate tilted her head. "We're fairly certain that they don't know where our camp is, we've been relying on stealth to hide us." I cannot focus my eyes on Herate. It is taking much of my strength to remain seated and not to fall over. "It may be that you have managed to remain hidden, but one must not take a chance. If your enemies come you must be ready for them. An army is defeated by lack of preparation. If the traps are unnecessary then you are most fortunate indeed. I apologize for my suggestion of a contest of first blood. A point had to be made." On 10/23/2020 at 5:09 PM, Scarletfox said: "It is ok," Fox said softly. She did not want to be separated from her newly found father quite yet, so she added, "I think I will be ok. Perhaps I will look around a bit." She began to wander around, looking at the trees, though keeping an eye on father. Circestran appears beside Fox. "He can be reckless at times. The fire within him never dulls and he is every bit as mighty as he appears. Sometimes though he takes risks. He needs you to ground him as much as you need him."

"He can be reckless at times. The fire within him never dulls and he is every bit as mighty as he appears. Sometimes though he takes risks. He needs you to ground him as much as you need him." Fox was slowly tearing apart a leaf. “Yes,” She said softly, “perhaps that is so.” Something about the idea that somebody wanted her and needed her warmed Fox’s heart for some reason. She pulled another leaf from a pocket, and began tearing it apart. Once finished she let the stem drift to the ground. Then, she stuffed the rest of the leaves from her pocket into her mouth and swallowed them in a gulp. Crunchy.

You should be careful. The world is dangerous enough without taking unneeded risks. Nath can only do so much you know. Eating leaves that could endanger your health is not something that he can stop you from doing. I think that rest would serve you well." Edited October 25, 2020 by Nathrangking

When Circe recommended rest, Fox’s fatigue washed over her, but no, she was not going to leave her father’s side. “I’m going to stay with father, I think.” Edited October 25, 2020 by Scarletfox

Despite wishing to put up a front of strength commanders who do not sleep are useless to those that they command. Exhaustion will catch up with them.

Worry oozes from Circe's eyes. "I can only guess what happened to him, but I know this. You will both burn yourselves out if you continue on without rest. You ground him. He will listen to you."
Bearer of all agonies he/him Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Taln bolts upright from his nap. He looks into the distance, frowning. Then, his eyes widen with shock. He starts sprinting towards where he was looking, summoning his Honorblade.

"If we need to, we can requisition beds for ourselves come night time. For now, it's fine if you take our beds."

I rise on trembling legs.
