A moment of silence passed by, and Anya just stared up at the young man. Yeah, she had hoped that they would have been considered friends, but given the amount of time they've known each other, she didn't entertain the idea of being a very close friend. Even if he had told her more about himself than many other people knew, it just didn't mean she meant much more to him than someone to hang out with every now and then. Yet here he as, defending her and claiming she was just as important to him as his mother. She really didn't know how to take that herself. "Important" hadn't really been a word used outside her family much whenever she was involved. First he admitted he had been glad to meet her all those months ago, and now he was admitting her importance. Before she knew it, she shifted a bit to face him, set the picture on the ground and leaned it against her leg, and then hugged Seth. There was a good chance he wouldn't like it, but she needed it. She didn't even care that there might be who knows how many people possibly watching.

. Seth waited in uneasy silence when Anya didn't respond right away. He had a moment where he wondered if he should have denied having said anything. He was about ready to say something when she moved. He watched, uneasy growing, as she put her drawing on the ground. Past experience had him bracing for her to hit him, even if logic told him Anya wasn't the type to hit him without good reason. And he was pretty sure he hadn't done anything to give her reason to -
Seth jolted, shock coursing through him as, instead of trying to hit him or speak, she... hugged him. He looked down at her, hands held awkwardly at his sides. His lips parted, but no words came out right away. "Anya," he whispered, and that was about all he managed.

Anya offered no words to begin with. Even if she had wanted to, her brain would have stumbled over itself trying to find the right words to say. Regardless of all that had happened in the past few weeks, despite her part in avoiding him and all the lectures and interrogations she had given him, he still deemed her important. She was still a friend to him that he admitted to wanting to visit if she passed her test to train as she traveled. And perhaps it was her own struggle of loneliness that had spurred the sudden action as well. Suddenly being out on her own without the support of family was tougher than she had realized. Seth had unintentionally given her a support system, and as awkward as it might have been, she still did it. "Thank you," she muttered, trying to encompass everything he had done for her in those two words. Then, not wanting it to be too weird for too long, she slowly let him go.

Fully Alive:
Hunter Cameron {Male/19} Hunter is tall and lanky, with dark and unruly hair and vibrant green eyes. Despite his slim build, he is surprisingly strong, mainly from years of learning self defense techniques from his father, a policeman. Hunter is friendly and empathetic, with a big humorous side. His humor is often self-deprecating, and although he can be showy and a bit prideful at times, he's compassionate and has a big heart. When Hunter connects with someone, he cares deeply for them, and puts his soul in doing anything he can to make them happy.
Ranger's Apprentice:
Emmaline "Emma" Blanche {Female/14} The first word that may come to mind when you see Emma is small. She's skinny, with a slight build. Her reddish-brown hair falls to her waist, framing deep blue eyes. While it would be accurate to describe her as such, it would be wise not to make the mistake of thinking her small size for weakness or fragility. Born in Skandia, Emma spent her youth climbing and brawling with the Skandian children of Hallasholm. She's athletic and surprisingly strong, and would gladly break your nose if you tried to mock her. Born to a Skandian mother and Araluen father - one of the archers stationed in Skandia - she spent her childhood in Skandia, but upon the death of her mother, her father returned to Araluen to raise her. Emma is spirited, outspoken, and imaginative. Adventurous and eternally curious, she's often one to get in trouble for sticking her head where it doesn't belong. Despite this, she's a good friend and fierce protector.

There was a brief moment when she wondered if she should have hugged him at all. Important as she might have been, that hadn't really been permission to give physical contact. It was common practice for her household, but it was more than obvious that not everyone grew up with that kind of closeness with others. Whenever someone did or gave something that meant a lot, a hug usually emphasized how much you appreciated the gesture. However, Anya brushed it aside. She wasn't sorry she did it, even if it had been one-sided. In response to his question, the young woman shrugged. "For a lot of things," she told him. "Some over-due, some done today, but all deserving of thanks."
(Looks good! Where do you want to start with both plots?)

(For the Fully Alive plot, what did you have in mind for a good starting point? For RA, maybe the first mission? Would have some backstory already in place)

(Hey, I can relate. XD) (It's more than fine, holly! I understand. ^^ )
"Then why didn't you just ask?" Winter spat. How hard would that have been? Sure, his wrist was covered at the moment with the shopping bags, but it wouldn't have taken much for him to remove them and satisfy her curiosity. Whether she had meant any harm or not didn't change the fact that he didn't trust her nor liked her at the moment. "What person just goes up and grabs someone else? You're lucky I didn't hit you for that." He wouldn't have wanted to hit a girl, but it she had ended up hurting him, the protector wouldn't have hesitated to remove her as a threat. One well placed punch would have been enough to make sure he could get the others out of there before she woke up.
~*
"I can assure you, that part of me has stayed in tact," James informed, casting her a smile. "There's probably a few things that have changed, but I like to think I'm still pretty much the same. Maybe an inch or two taller, but that's about it." Then he fixed her with a half-stern look. "I don't care if it is or isn't my responsibility. I'm getting you both food, and nothing will change my mind. It'll be easier if you just accept it and let it happen." (Lol, all I see is a dot there. Seth.exe has stopped working. XD)
His words did more for her than he probably realized. Anya tried to be a person that was helpful to other, who was there if anyone needed anything. Few people actually took her assistance for much, and few ever really seemed to appreciate what she did do when allowed. A shadow to her brothers, there were those who shared a polite word or granted her the permission to hang out with them from time to time, but no one had ever spoke of her as Seth had did. It made her feel good to know that, despite all that had happened, Seth had liked her enough to consider her a friend, and one he was glad to have made at that. Her smile turned partially embarrassed. "So am I," she muttered, then realized that it sounded a little weird. So she corrected her statement, "I mean, to meet you, not to meet me, obviously." Hunter narrowed her eyes at the boy in front of her, suddenly back on guard, “I don’t have to explain myself to you.” She was getting more annoyed with the boy as every second passed and she was trying to not start a physical fight. Part of her wanted to fight with him just so she wouldn’t have to deal with going back home; but the other part of her know what kind of trouble she’d get into if she came back with bruises. She turned away slightly, “what are you bipolar or something? Did a wire in your head disconnect because the person you were a second ago was a lot nicer.” She wanted to hear his answers but at the same time she didn’t. Three main theories popped up in her head as to why the boy looked so familiar: it could be her late boyfriend and he somehow never really died or it was a hallucination, or it was just coincidence. She closed her eyes for a second, “just leave ok? Or else I will fight you... I just want to be alone.” Carter sighed, rolling her eyes, “almost as stubborn as I remember too.” She glanced at him, “but since your offering my lunch want to offer me a place to stay or a job?” Of course she was joking but realized once she said it he would probably think she was serious and wouldn’t let it go until he did that. She walked to the door of the restaurant, opening it and letting him go first, “I’m at least paying for the tip.”

"And yet you expect me to answer to your demands?" Winter asked. He found it funny how the girl thought she could just order him about, wanting answers, yet wouldn't be willing to offer any from herself. And the more she kept talking, the more she got under her skin. Like her, and unknown to them, Winter was inching for a fight too. Right now, he saw her as a threat. Fighting wouldn't be good, he knew, but it would let her know that she couldn't just "attack" them and be able to get away with it. "The person I was a second ago thought he was being a good citizen," he growled. "I don't care about that. You tried to hurt him, and I'm going to be sure that you don't. Last time I checked, we were going to leave. It was you who stopped us."
James just had to grin at her comment. That he was, at least, when it came to treating his friends. "If you need a place for a night, I've got a guest room that's dying to be used," he said nonchalantly with a shrug. It was an offer, and he would gladly stick with it if she ever did need a place to stay. She might have been joking now, but he was serious. As she held open the door, he thanked her and chuckled. "I think I can settle with that."

(Hmm, I guess we could say the two went to school together, graduated, and ran into each other on the street? We can either play it as they knew each other but weren't good friends, or they could have been decent friends. Perhaps they hadn't spoken since graduation, and maybe she even missed graduation, and it's been a month or so? What would feel more natural? That sounds good to me. Who should start?) That works for me! Would you be able to start?)

Some people complain about the noise a city can offer. The traffic, both foot and vehicle in nature, was too overwhelming and too chaotic. Destiny, strangely enough, found it comforting. Walking among the crowded streets, hearing the deafening sounds of conversations and engines as she passed by gave her some sense of relief. Even if she didn't feel up to traversing the city, she still pushed herself to leave the house, to use her free time to submerse herself in the world as she could. Who knows when it would be taken from her. High school used to give her an excuse to stay out and about nearly everyday. If she wasn't at class, then people worried. However, she had graduated less than three months ago, leaving her with nothing for a while. She still had errands to run, but her time out had decreased for a time. Now, the need for a job had cast the young woman out once more, giving her a small hope that she clung to since her father had declared it a necessity. So here she was, weaving her way through the crowd, dressed in clothing too warm for the current summer season, and hunting for any place she thought she might have a chance in acquiring a job.
~*
Matthew sat on his porch, nursing a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, but it had yet to pierce through the thick trees of the surrounding forest, leaving his humble home still in the shadows of night. All around, the sounds of birds filled the air. Little else stirred. It was these moments where he found true peace. Until the duties of being a Ranger called him away to take care of some problem or another. At least he wasn't alone in that work currently. Three months had passed since he had taken on an apprentice, and it was safe to say it had been a journey. It was one thing to be a mentor, it was another to be a mentor to a fourteen year old girl. Being the only child and with very few close female relatives his own age, this was an experience. For the most part, it wasn't that much different than how he would have trained a boy, but there were details of the living space and training that he had to think about that he might have never had thought of before. It was a learning process for the both of them, it seemed. But he was willing to learn. After all, the girl was showing promise in her abilities and was good company.
