Condensation she/her Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "But how do I know you won't mean it again?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "Because... I know how much it hurts to say that to a friend now," Janice replied. "And I never want to feel that way again."
Condensation she/her Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Cadenza didn't know what to say. She shifted her weight to her other foot and uncrossed her arms.
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 "Would... you... like to be my friend again?"
Condensation she/her Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 "Um..." Cadenza let out a breath. "Yes."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Janice smiled and held out her arms. "C'mere."

Cadenza let out a breath. "Yes." Corwin's jaw dropped, and his mouth gaped wide. "Really? That was the conversation you needed to have? You aren't going to fight for the death or try to lock her in a cage or possess her mind or something crazy?" The boy, of course, had been assuming the greatest danger and highest drama situation.

Janice was asking Corwin. @ProfetessaOscura "Well... when we fought, she froze me solid, but she hasn't intentionally tried to kill me yet," he said, and color flooded his face as he looked away.

Cadenza held up one finger. "Of course not! Corwin, do you have a sister?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Janice bounced on her toes impatiently.
ProfetessaOscura she/her Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 30 minutes ago, Condensation said: Cadenza held up one finger. "Of course not! Corwin, do you have a sister?" “Nah. I’m an only kid. Lived at a shelter, and there are plenty of other people I’d call family, though. Why do you ask?”

ProfetessaOscura she/her Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Condensation said: "Would you ever do something like that to someone you called family?" He shrugged. “Anyone you care about can stab you in the back. You gotta keep your guard up.”
Condensation she/her Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 1 minute ago, ProfetessaOscura said: He shrugged. “Anyone you care about can stab you in the back. You gotta keep your guard up.” "Although true... not really the way I'm handling it. Janice and I are like sisters. I wouldn't do something like that to her, even if I could."
ProfetessaOscura she/her Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Just now, Condensation said: "Although true... not really the way I'm handling it. Janice and I are like sisters. I wouldn't do something like that to her, even if I could." He shrugged again. “Your friend did something in my head. I don’t trust her, but you do you.” He shot a very suspicious glare at Janice, then stormed off, muttering something in frustration, finally ending with an exasperated “Girls!”

ProfetessaOscura she/her Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 29 minutes ago, Condensation said: "Did something to your head?" Cadenza shrugged as he walked off. "Okay, I'm done." The woman from before, who had de-escalated the situation between Janice and Corwin, watched from a distance, a frown on her face. Corwin was usually such a sweet kid. Something had really rattled him. She resolved to keep her eyes open, and she appraised Janice again. The kid didn’t look dangerous. Then again, neither had that pirate who had murdered her brother and maimed her sister. She clenched her jaw from the memory. No. She couldn’t judge purely from first glance. There was something about these girls...
Fallapede Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Brother Sparrow turned to Vespyr again once the spirit had left. "You keep rather strange company, myself included. I apologize if I appeared arrogant earlier; I simply sought to find a way to make things fair. Engage me without any such provisions, then, for perhaps I have misjudged your skill."

"You keep rather strange company, myself included. I apologize if I appeared arrogant earlier; I simply sought to find a way to make things fair.

I would not ask that of anyone.”
Fallapede Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 "You mock me, boy, but you understand less than you think. Now, come. Face me."
ProfetessaOscura she/her Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 2 minutes ago, Fallapede said: "You mock me, boy, but you understand less than you think. Now, come. Face me." Vespyr stared blankly for a moment, very unsure how he was mocking his friend. He had a moment of brief panic where he wondered if he’d said something dreadfully wrong, but finally stepped forward, deciding to go along with it.

Channelknight Fadran Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 8 minutes ago, Condensation said: "Okay, good." Cadenza smiled at Janice. "Now...?" Janice held out her arms for a hug.
