Does being the fourth child of five count as being a middle child? If so, I'm in, baby!

Eliira unconsciously took a couple steps away from the group, retreating back outside. She stared down Maybe road and took a deep breath as the voices in her head screamed. Toomanypeoplerunrunfleegetawaytheyhateyourunawayescapetheyallhateyouyouareuselessleaverunflee! She trembled and wrapped her arms around herself again. Zirn'rii seemed to sense her distress and zipped down to her, hovering in front of eyes, and refusing to budge. His soft voice touched her mind. You can't give up on your Oaths now, Eliira. You have to push through this. "I- I can't..." She whispered, taking another step down the road. "Too many people... memories..." A tear leaked down her cheek, which she hastily wiped away. She drew in a shaky breath as Zirn'rii grew larger and settled onto the ground, growing and morphing until he looked like a tall, translucent, refined Thaylen gentleman. "Eliira." He said softly, placing an incorporeal hand on her shoulder. She felt a faint tingle. "You can push through this. Don't let the voices control you. You're strong enough." She breathed deeply and let it out shakily, closing her bright amber eyes. Then, slowly, she nodded and wiped her eyes again, turning back towards the group. She froze for a moment, every part of her screaming to run, but pushed through, stepping until she stood just behind the group. You can do this, Zirn'rii whispered as he burst back into his ribbonlike form and zipped up next to her. "Thank you," She whispered under her breath as she studied the group. Then, she smiled, amber eyes sparkling.

I went three years without doing Duolingo >:) Also, I think Duo would win

*visible confusion* (Okay then) "You underestimate my power!" I shout as I pull out a lightsaber and hover upwards via a Push. *drinks vial of allomantic metals*

Storms, yeah. We'd be cooking! *grows a couple of sweet potatoes and places them in a corner* *sprinkles on some rosemary* MMmmmmmMMMMMM

Eliira clenched her fists, then hid them beneath her shawl. She breathed deeply, then slowly uncurled her fists. She turned to Keys. "I'm... fine." She said with an effort. Toomanypeoplecrowdsandcrowdsofpeopletheyallhateyoutheyknowwhatyoudid She clenched her fists again, then forced a smile at Jay. She looked to the woman. "I don't think I ever caught your name...? If you uhm, can choose one?"

"That's all right - I, uh, understand. Yes, there is-" "Gah!" Eliira gasped as she was knocked to the ground. She grunted and sat up, rubbing the back of her head, wincing. "Magic friend? Oh," She glanced at Zirn'rii, who giggled. She sighed, then refocussed on the boy. "I'm sorry, I'm just a little stressed from all... this..." She gestured vaguely and stood up, dusting off her skirt. "Uhm, what's your name?"

"You're the person with the storming knife!" Eliira exclaimed, then blushed and glanced around. "Uhm... sorry. Is there anything I can do to prove this isn't a trap?" She asked as Zirn'rii zipped about, unseen.

"Oh, uh, great." Eliira said, wringing her hands. "Eh, hi." Zirn'rii zipped over to the boy and giggled excitedly, revealing himself to the boy. Eliira! I found another person! Hello, human! Do you have a dagger? I like daggers! Eliira groaned softly and took a couple steps outside. "Hi there!" She said to the boy. "Sorry about my spren... uh," she breathed deeply. "This is the Mishmash Inn. We have lodgings and food for... well... anyone. Uhm..." She glanced inside, where Fadran was leading Keys further inside. "Would you like to come in?" @Cinnamon @Knight of Iron

*gasp* I STILL HAVE THAT RECIPE (I'm saving it for a special occasion I promise!) *breathes in an insane amount of Stormlight* *quacks really loudly* *RASPBERRY LEMON POPPYSEED BREAD APPEARS* Ta da!

Soulcaster, baby! *makes bread* *not the icky bread but actually yummy bread* MMMMM FREE FOOD WOOT

AHHHH THESE ARE SO COOL *violently throws rep* TAKE IT AHHH!!!

Eliira turned around blinked in surprise. "Ehm, hello." She said, stepping towards the golden-haired woman. She hesitated just outside of striking range. Zirn'rii, however, zipped right up to her, invisible to the woman, and happily twirled around her face, unseen. Eliira! Eliira look look look! I found someone with a dagger! A big dagger, too! He said happily as he twirled about as an amber ribbon of light. (The woman would not be able to hear him) "Uh, do you speak the common tongue? Or Alethi?" Eliira asked cautiously. @Knight of Iron

"Do you have a med bay that I can perhaps work in?" The cat asked, padding over to Foklasfag. "I am a professionally trained therapy cat, and may be able to assist in matters such as panic and stress in this Museum."

Telrao nodded solemnly, sharing a long look with the Second. "We are ready." She said softly, carefully stoking the Light within. The Second nodded, checking the Connections again and frowning. "We need to move quickly," He said, seeing the invisible lines of deep violet energy grow thicker. "Kaos is growing stronger." Lyna stood shakily, then tugged on her helmet. "My squad is ready to come out firing, of you people need a diversion." She gripped Hav's hand and gave them a ferocious, eager grin. "We have enough Light to resist Corruption for at least a short while." Ryn, Vic and Grel nodded, checking their guns yet again, visors reflecting the fading light of the shield. "Just say the word, Telrao." Hav said, flicking down his visor. "We're ready." @Shadowed @xinoehp512

*enters thread* *reads through the past two pages* *is extremely confused* Okay..... cool. Nice. And so doth the empires rise and fall, being like the waves that crasheth upon the sea shore. They roar and fall with great power, but do fadeth into the wind, defeated by yon passage of time.

You're welcome! Zirn'rii said as he zipped ahead, again in his ribbon-like form. "Uh, you're welcome, I guess." stuttered Eliira. She called to Zirn'rii. "Could you check if there's any soup left?" Zirn'rii twirled an affirmative and zipped away, before coming back almost a quickly. There's still some in the pot! I dunno if it's hot, though! You humans and temperatures. So strange! Eliira sighed as Zirn'rii once again zipped away, humming happily. "So uhm, what brought you here?" Eliira asked Keys as she led him to the mess room. "I came here by accident."

CATSCATSCATSCATS I like dogs but KITTIES *screaming* I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

>:O *gasp* I mean, I'm not a massive Shallan fan (she is annoying at times) but SHE AND ADOLIN ARE PERFECT AND YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND Speaking of Adolin... what instrument would he be?

Eliira smiled weakly. "My name is Eliira, of Roshar. Eh, nice to meet you?" She took a step towards the Inn. "Would you like to go inside?" She asked, despite her own voice screaming in fear within her head. "There's food..."
