Zephyrus
Prince Daegal-Mountains-Arkady
Daegal jumped at the sudden voice, the stranger had noticed him. His eyes flicking to the knife the man held, plus the height of the other man did not help, causing a ight whimper to slip from his throat. It took him a long time to realize he had been asked questions, looking at him nervously as gripped on to his sleeve. "I-," he started, but his chest tightened a bit causing him to clamp his mouth back shut.
Would it be safer if I don't say anything. He thought to himself. He shook his head to the first question, hopefully lying about being alone out here would prevent the guy from attacking. He pushed himself up testing his ankle, it stung a bit, but he could probably use it if he needed to run.

Arkady // Zephyrus // Mountains
The nerves were obvious and Arkady took a few steps back to give Daegal some space. Intimidation may not have been the approach for this one, but out here, you could never be too safe. “Hey, uh, relax. Lucky for you, I am not known for hurting people in these parts. Intimidation is about the only thing I’m good at.” He tried to joke and loosen up the air, but that didn’t make him innocent. A pickpocket here, a scam there, throw in the junk pile of lies and Arkady would call it a day's work. It was more than he could’ve done at home which made it valuable and worth the risk. His minded floated to the man in front of him and he wondered what he was doing up here in the mountains. Again, Daegal did not impress Arkady as the kind to be scouring the mountain side for a fight or to swipe some ones stash. Obviously, the other man was not prepared to see someone out here in the wilderness.
The young man now glanced around the lightly forested area of the mountain, attempting to pinpoint someone following this fear stricken fellow, but was unable to locate any. “Hmmm” a low hum rumbled from his chest at the observation, no other comment was made on the subject. It would be perfectly acceptable to lie in these conditions as well as reasonable to tell the truth. Doubt clouded the latter. Arkady was impressed with Daegal’s resilience as he went ahead and stood. He wasn’t quite sure of the injury sustained, but it appeared to be somewhere in the leg. “It may not be a good idea to walk on that.” A brief flash of concern crossed his face. And just as quickly as it came, it had gone; returning to unbothered stone. "If your... friend, is going to be a while, let me check it out." He finally offered some kind of assistance, mostly to wedge in a pause for suspicion. Calling Daegal out for being out here and unprepared was problem another poor decision.

Zephyrus
Prince Daegal-Mountains-Arkady
Daegal tried to relax a bit, but the joke didn't really help. He shifted to hide behind a tree slightly, his nerves dying down a bit, as he swallowed. "I...I'm fine," he said. The idea of the other man getting one to him, sent new terror through him. "P-please stay there." He could have someone at the castle look at it, as unappealing as even that sounded to him, but if it was an issue he knew it would be better to take care of it in the early stages.
He tested out his ankle, it still ached a bit, but he ignored it. "Thanks..," he murmured. He took a few breaths, like he had been taught, to try and calm himself. "Im...s-sorry," he apologized quietly. He was early bothering this man it seemed, no point to try and make him further upset, or even for him to get closer then he currently was.

Majelist
Marcos//Market
Marcos nodded along. It was comforting to know there were people out there protecting those who couldn't protect themselves. Unfortunately, it seemed only Majelist citizens received this protection, not those in neighboring kingdoms. It was a fact that Alaric seemed uncomfortable with. Marcos could swear they saw him frown, but he was back to his normal expression in an instant. "I can't imagine the bandits are easy to deal with, and it doesn't sound like you have many ways to take care of them. I hope they can all be taken care of before it gets to the point of driving them off to the other kingdoms."
Marcos turned his attention back to Cassian. He smiled at her comment and nodded. "Exactly! Inventors--or, at least the people I work with--try to solve problems people have. It's about making the quality of life for everyone better. If your brother is a fire elemental, he could use some of the things we make. We have a couple of fire elementals at the shop to test these things out and help make adjustments as needed. We hope these things can help in various parts of life and just make things easier for people."
Sonmure
Tavan//Rose Garden
With a grin, Tavan nodded in agreement. "It is, isn't it? My parents named me well, and I'm happy to hear someone else agrees." He and his parents didn't always see eye to eye, but there were things--like his name--they could reach common ground on. As Haelyn got up, Tavan offered an arm to help her up.
"It's good to know I haven't interrupted you in the middle of your shift, Haelyn. Anyway, if it really isn't a burden, I would appreciate it if you showed me around. As I said, I'm interested to see what this place has to offer. And if you want, I could buy you a meal as payment." It would be nice to share a meal with someone. It would be even better if it was with someone he was already acquainted with.

Haelyn - Rose Garden - Tavan
"Of course not," Haelyn said with a smile. "I have other co-workers so I can leave early, it's all no rush," The brunette pushed back her braided hair. "Anyways, just give me a moment and we'll be on our way, I need to grab my bag."
Haelyn had left her bag near a patch of red roses, her favourite place in the garden. She grabbed the brown bag, decorated with embroidery of roses. Haelyn headed back to Tavan."I'm ready to leave if you feel like it," she said.
(Here's a post. I'll update the front page so it has all the characters on it)

Arkady // Zephyrus // Mountains
An arched eyebrow and grunt was the chosen response. Daegal scuttling and hiding was enough evidence that Arkady had not corrected his intimidation factor. “Yes, sir.” he mumbled, tsking and kicking the dirt with his scuffed shoes. Orders were not easy for the young man to follow, but he tried, just this once. Walking in brief circles, glancing back at his assorted goods left for the squirrel, even fixing his hair, none of it was enough to keep himself in place but it kept him from wandering forward. In reality, Arkady lived to put others in uncomfortable situations, maybe that was why he was born a plain jane to elemental parents. For he knew that fact had driven them mad since the day he was born, hence his new found journeys in this region. It doesn't explain feeding the squirrel though.
“You’re… welcome?” Arkady was not used to receiving thanks from anyone, especially in such a strange situation. Usually he heard that word from someone responding to having their life spared. Or at times, forced out at knife point just to boost his own ego. At this moment, he needed to lay low and settle into an area where he felt more comfortable before pulling stunts like that. The response after that was even rarer a sentence to hear. I’m sorry. Rang in his ear for a moment, if only more people had said that to Arkady throughout his life. Maybe things wouldn’t have gone so badly. He thought.
“For what? Scaring my squirrel?” Arkady commented. He wasn't going to let this guy get away with triggering his emotional side so easily. I mean, it took hours to perfect this resting bored face.

Zephyrus
Prince Gaegal-Mountains-Arkady
Daegal was mostly scared due to the interaction, socializing never was hi strong suit. He hated the parties his parents held, talking to people he didn't know, and all he could think of was trying to escape from the whole thing. He stayed behind the tree, it at least made it slightly easier for him to speak, with the cover the tree provided should he say something wrong. "You...you don't have to...use sir," he murmured, looking away from him. He blinked looking back at him, had he done something wrong to thank him?
That was part of the reason he was sorry, the man was clearly busy, and Daegal falling and scaring off the squirrel and disturbing the man. He nodded to the new questions, trying to muster words, but they caught in his throat, as his chest tightened. He instead just took a few breaths, trying to calm down, curling his fingers against the bark, to try get something else to register in his head. "Y...yes," he managed after he managed to get his breathing slightly normal.
Majelist
Alaric,Cassian-Market-Marcos
"We manage just fine," Alaric muttered, looking away with a scoff. Walking away from the conversation for a brief moment to talk to the stall owner about what they were selling, granted it was food, but anything to get away from a conversation with an inventor. Keeping his eye on Cassian and Marcos, to make sure nothing happened, mainly to Cassian, something happening to Marcos? He didn't fully care, but per to be able to stand by his job, would step in to help him.
Cassian listened to Marcos speak, her eyes lightening up a bit. Looking over frantically when her brother walked away, but calmed down when she saw he was talking to the owner. She looked back to Marcos, giving a slight nod. "H-he is," she said, confirming her brother to be an elemental. "That...that's really nice you are working to help other people out and make their lives easier." Marcos and the people he worked for, seemed like great people, and they were doing great work, what was her brother's issue with them? "What has been your favorite thing you've made?"

Lol, I just realized I posted that last bit. It was part of an edit but we are going to roll with it now. I just wasn't sure if I wanted Arkady to be so verbally upfront right off the bat.}}
Also, Daegal the shy bean vs. Arkady the rebellious brat is an interesting combo.}}
Arkady // Zephyrus // Mountains
Arkady wasn't even upset, if only people knew this was just his personality type. Abrasive. The other gentleman seemed to fare better with Arkady out of sight, actually making somewhat complete and coherent sentences. Was he really that hard to look at? He had never had such a reaction from other people. Not like Arkady looked in the mirror that often, most of the time he tried to forget how he looked. His trademark silver streaked hair was only a reminder of the people he came from. At the request of not saying sir, Arkady teetered off the edge of following rule number one: stay away. Well, more like walked right off it. He approached Daegal with a slow, even pace. "Look, until I have a name, I'll use whatever terms I want." The statement was matter of fact, but in a roundabout way, Arkady was looking for the man’s title, or something to inform him about who this was.
“The squirrel doesn’t really matter… I guess.” He added after a pause, not really believing what he was saying but putting up the guard rails anyways. Arkady had felt invalidated many times for his affection towards animals. So much so that he felt embarrassed for even admitting losing the squirrel bothered him so much in the first place. A shrug was used to emit a presence that was cool and casual, internalizing that true part of himself. It was only let out for times before this moment, when one truly believes they are by themselves.

all good!! and same i love this interaction so far just because of how vastly different the personalities are!!)
Prince Daegal-Mountains-Arkady
Daegal swallowed a bit, he was always gave out fake names, due to his issues with socializing, it would just reflect badly on the family name with the prince being unable to even handle a simple conversation. He looked away quietly for a bit. "It's...Cornon," he said, granted was a lie, he just hoped it could stick in his mind that it was currently his name. His eyes widened when he drew closer. "S-stay away," he cried out, pushing away from the tree, stepping wrong on and falling back onto the ground, a wince leaving him as he rubbed at his ankle.
If the squirrel didn't matter, why keep bringing it up... He thought to himself quietly. He forced himself back up taking shelter a bit further away. He took a few breaths calming himself down. "I...I told you my name...what's your's," he managed.

Arkady // Zephyrus // Mountains
"Cor...nan." Arkady said it slowly, making sure to annunciate the name correctly. It was a name to a face, fake or not. Of course, Arkady had no way of knowing if the man was telling the truth, at this point he didn't see a reason to lie but there was the bluff about being out here alone. Or at least with the time passing it seemed to be true. When Daegal insisted for the second time that Arkady stay away, he paused midstep and made an O with his lips with realization. It quickly changed to disbelief as he watched Daegal take a second tumble to the ground.
"You are one misstep away from breaking your neck.” He spoke as if he was sure it would happen. “Why are you out in the mountains? I can't imagine that this is an activity that you regularly do." He held back a laugh, although a brief snort managed to slip past the gates, still caught off guard by the clumsy character in front of him.
Inquiry chased itself as it was now Arkady’s turn to introduce himself. With his luck, there was probably a wanted sign out there and with a name like Arkady, it was hard to hide. "Cade." He lied after clearing his throat. It wasn't a complete lie, he just left out the 'ar' and 'ee' sounds. It would be easy to remember, it was part of his name and if he recalled that it rhymed with blade there would be no problem at all. Typically it would not bother him to give out his name as those interactions were with people he trusted, Arkady was still leery of this Cornan. His life experience had taught him to always be on edge with the ones that show fear, as they are often the most unpredictable. It was emotion that could either pin down its victims or release movement that is wild and unafraid.

Zephyrus
Prince Daegal-Mountains-Arkady
He hadn't fully meant to react so strongly the second time, but he was already struggling to keep the conversation going, the thought of the other getting closer just made him jump out of his skin, the distance and hiding behind things helped, and despite the other man showing to not be a threat anymore wasn't helping matters unfortunately. He took note of the man's name. Cade. He thought it over, at least he had a name to a face.
He gave his best attempt of a glare, hearing the snort come from Cade. He wasn't trying to be something to laugh at. "I...have done this before," he said, looking away. He just was not as experienced as he would like to be. Often times he would be caught sneaking out and prevented from leaving or he would be tailed, and once he was back down to where the kingdom was on the mountain, he would get escorted back to the castle. Granted wasn't all bad, but he got stir crazy just wandering the halls for the 50th time in one day, and going out and doing something on his own, that didn't involve talking to people was a paradise for him.
"I do this when...I have nothing else to do," he said with a shrug, to the next part of the question. There wasn't much he was allowed to do. Sure he would occasionally get to join his father for things, when it as needed for him to be there to know what to do when he takes over, but that's become few and far between, most of the time, it felt like his father was embarrassed having him there. His mother was always off doing her own thing, what he didn't know and was never invited to join her. But he was fine with it, meant he could hide away in his room, where it was safe and he wasn't running on panicked energy.

Majelist
Marcos//Market
Alaric grumbled at Marcos and scoffed before walking away. The inventor watched him go to a nearby food stall. Had Marcos said something wrong? He didn't have time to dwell on...whatever that was as he turned back to Cassian. They offered her a small smile, noticing her panic as Alaric stalked off. Marcos reached out a hand to comfort her, but stopped themself. They weren't friends, they didn't know each other. He would probably freak her out if he touched her, so he set his hand back at his side and instead talked to her.
"As I said, Alaric would be able to use some of our inventions with his abilities. Fire elementals at the shop enjoy using them, and he might too. Anyway, that's one of the reasons why I've stayed with the same shop for years. The goal of the workshop is to help people, to make their lives better and easier. Life can be stressful enough as is, might as well try to find ways to ease that stress."
Marcos grinned. There were so many projects they had a hand in that they could name, it was difficult to think of some they wanted to talk about. "That is a fantastic question! It's also a hard question to answer. Hm, if I had to really pick...
"Got it. The first would be that gauntlet I mentioned earlier. I didn't invent it, but I've made a few before. I like the small compartments that keep things for elementals to use alongside their abilities. I know we've also been exploring the possibility of other uses for it. Another one I like is a timer. A very simple construction, but also very useful. There's also a mechanical hammer I've been helping to build. There's still a long way to go before we're ready to do more rigorous testing, but the basic idea is for it to help out blacksmiths. It's a hammer with a wind up mechanism attached to an anvil. After winding up the device, it'll hammer out the heated metal so the smiths can make more over a shorter period of time."
After he finished his ramblings, Marcos let out an awkward laugh. "Sorry, I got a little carried away there. I'm just really excited for some of these projects," he admitted. "So, what do you do for a job? Assuming you have one, of course. I know your brother is a guard, but you don't seem like one yourself."
Sonmure
Tavan//Rose Garden
"Wonderful. It's settled, then. You'll go get your bag and then we can be on our way. I'm just glad I'm not stealing you from your coworkers." That wasn't entierly true, of course. There were plenty of times he disrupted his friends while they worked and got them out of their situation. He was always happy to be their excuse to leave work or escape from home for the day. Tavan didn't mind doing the same for strangers, though a part of him doubted Haelyn was like that.
He waited for the woman as she grabbed her bag. He spotted a few other workers moving through the garden. They left him alone, either ignoring him or simply not noticing him. Haelyn quickly rejoined him, ready to go. "Lead the way, if you don't mind miss Haelyn."

Arkady // Zephyrus // Mountains
Arkady took in the quaint glare, actually basking in the light of Daegals annoyance. He drew in a breath, replenishing his lungs with the thin earthy mountain air and topping it off with a smirk. So he found a button and pressed it. Many people felt aspersed when laughed upon but few showed it in such a minor way. The curiosity of pushing Daegal further tingled in the young mans mind.
The situation could not be less aligned between the two. "Sounds like you have an easy life. Leaving home for me is an escape from expectations." He muttered suddenly, feeling soured by Daegals' excuse. "No matter what I do, it is never enough." He sighed, twisting his face into an expression of frustration "So don't act like having nothing to do is such a problem." The quip left his lips in disdain. Since Arkady couldn't control an element, he managed in other ways, and it was pretty easy to control others through emotion. Making them feel belittled or lower than him often brought along the same anger and frustration Arkady experienced everyday. Pain was his number one weapon.
To have a life where you do nothing sounded like a dream. People who did not expect you to be like them. A home that doesn't push you into something you're not. Feeling a twinge in his heart, Arkady turned his back to Daegal, looking back at the things he had left behind. The small handful of nuts had disappeared, the squirrel making quick work during the distraction. All that was left was a handkerchief and a rough-looking bag. Its abstract lumpiness gave no clues to its contents, but to Arkady it was all he had taken from home.

Cedar Vinestep // Male // 21 // Gay // Elemental // Cedar is on the shorter side, only being 5'5", but makes up for it in personality, being very outgoing and enigmatic. He has jet black hair that contrasts heavily with his misty blue eyes. Cedar will most likely always be wearing his dark green t-shirt covered by his brown overalls, which are well worn due to constant work outside. He spends most of his time in his garden, tending to his plants. Luckily for him, he has the ability to manipulate and grow plants, although this does attract a lot of unwanted attention from other townspeople as they tend to always pester him for help with their own plants. This, however, he does not usually entertain as he makes his living by selling produce from his own garden, thus making it highly unprofitable to help others grow the same produce. When not in his garden, Cedar can almost always be found in the Rose Gardens, tending to the plants there and also admiring the multitude of different small creatures that can be observed there // Darktalon |

Zephyrus
Prince Daegal-Mountains-Arkady
Daegal glared a bit, getting a bit of courage to be a bit bolder towards this man. He had no right to be just assuming things about him, just because he had free time to do these types of things. While he had the courage to glare, he did not have the courage to snap out his retort, as much as he would have liked, the idea of it just caused what little courage he was mustering to falter.
After a few beats he found his voice again. "I never said it was...,' he mumbled quietly. He could still relate to the aspect of escaping from expectations. Doing things like this was a way for him to just relax and not feel like he was having to perform for someone. He had to be the perfect prince for the kingdom, but perfect was far from being able to be used to describe him.
Daegal watched him quietly, before shifting his gaze to the bag on the ground, before back to the other person. "Im...sorry if..," he started out. "if..it came off that way though.." He was used to apologizing for things, even if they might not be needed, it just made things easier it seemed, and while the comments still irked him, he choose to just accept them.
Majelist
Cassian-Marketpace-Marcos
Cssian listed to Marcos talk, the inventor was truly fascinating to her. Listening to him go off, made her more curious about the work that inventor's did. She wanted to ask more about it, but she glanced towards her brother, to see him shot a small glare towards the inventor caused her to not. Maybe another time. She thought to herself She blinked at his question.
Cassian shook her head. "No...Alaric makes enough for us to get buy," she said to him. Though she also was to scared to go and get a job, unsure what would be expected of her to do, and the idea of things being able to go wrong scared her even worse. "I wouldn't make a good guard anyways." She was to skittish for her own good, and she didn't have the strength to hold weapons properly. She glanced back to where he brother was, he was still talking to the merchant, making a purchase on something she couldn't quite make out.

Finally! I have written a response  I'm sorry for the wait, I have been busy wrapping up my last week of student teaching and preparing for graduation. Sometimes the stress gives me writers block. Last week I literally had a whole entire page of half written responses and none of them were inspiring me!! I was so frustrated I just erased it all and started over. I should be more free now, but still, thank you for your patience and understanding.}} Increased boldness added fuel to the fire and it showed with a glint in Arkady’s green eyes and smirk settling on his lips. He savored every ounce of the glare lingering in Daegal’s gaze, sure as a wave on the shore that he would get a rise out of him yet. Air settled in his lungs as Arakdy waited, ever so patiently for the thing he wanted most, but it never came. With an arched eyebrow, he listened, tilting his head to the left to catch the traces of the mumble. The confidence on Daegal visibly lessoned, like a balloon being deflated and Arkady wondered what could be going on inside his head. ‘I’m sorry…’ rang out again, and it took its jolly time bouncing around the brunette's head. A grimace of distaste spread across the boys face. The two words had only ever been used to hurt, belittle, or were strongly connected to the B of FANBOYS. He felt disappointed at the apology, expecting some kind of sharp remark in return but Daegal was obviously not the type of person to anger easily. “You… should be.” Was the response Arkady chose, not certain of the correct answer for a benevolent apology. He mulled over the situation for a moment, uncertain how Daegal could apologize without having done anything wrong. Surely he saw Arkady as the antagonist. “Why would you do that?” The question was genuine as it slipped out without thinking. It buzzed in his mind and right out of his mouth. Arkady really did want to know, why bow down? Why not stand up for yourself? |

Sorry again)
Zephyrus
Prince Daegal-Mountains-Arkady
Daegal looked to the ground, flinching a bit at the look on the other man's face. "Habit...," he mumbled. He definitely offended the other now, why else would he be looking like that. He had to bite back another apology. He picked a bit at the bark of the tree,namely at the moss on it, some of it digging under his nail. He would worry about that aspect later.
Shuffling his feet quietly, withdrawing into himself. Just shut up and keep your head down. You dont want to make it worse. He thought to himself. He glanced hesitantly back up to 'Cade' before letting it drop quickly back to the ground. He probably shouldn't look at the other man right now, he had offended him after all. At least seemed to have anyways.
It was how he learned to behave, from past experiences with engagements or other occasions hosted at the castle by his parents. Apologizing became second nature for him, especially when it came down to him upsetting a guest. It would mostly led to the guest walking away talking about how reprehensible his behavior was, other times he would get chewed out till he apologized again. "I...I can leave...," he offered after a while of being silent.

Haelyn - Rose Garden - Tavan
"Well then," Haelyn said with a smile, brushing a few strands of her hair out of her face. "Let's get going, shall we?" Haelyn looked over at Tavan and started walking out of the garden.
Sonmure, as usual, was pretty warm. The near all-year warmth of the nation was always pleasing, at least to Haelyn. Maybe others didn't like it, especially those who had moved here from Zephyrus. The trees provided a nice shade to keep cool, and there was no place better for stargazing, at least in Haelyn's opinion. She loved stargazing, and the stars in general, in her free time, she would study them. Haelyn had heard of prophecies written in the stars, she hoped to one day discover them herself, but that was the job of a Guardian, not herself.
(Felt motivated, good for me)

*•.¸♡𝘥𝘢𝘸𝘯𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦♡¸.•* Aww, I'm glad you are feeling more motivated <3 And, yes, a post is definitely worth a celebration. Go you!}} A single brow arched in response. “A habit? You apologize to people so frequently that it just naturally comes out of your mouth?” Arkady chuckled at this thought. He could not imagine this scenario ever happening to him. In fact, he couldn’t even think of a time where he had honestly apologized to someone or muttered the words ‘sorry’. Sorry was a meaningless word in his books. Why say what you mean when you could just show it. He let the silence linger between them. For a moment his mind wandered to the only person he could imagine apologizing to. The one person who deserved an apology that was made from every ounce of his being. A sister left behind. “No, don’t leave.” He matched the word spoken to him once but his tone was nonchalant and his expression serious. The words surprised even him and the instant regret of speaking before thinking settled in his stomach once again and flushed onto his cheeks. Sometimes he wondered how he got so far along in this adventure away from home with a mouth that ran like water; still no frost came to freeze it over. Running to the rescue, per usual, his lips moved again, this time laced with attitude instead of emotion. “I don’t know why you bother apologizing to me. I don’t need it.” Arkady stated, crouching to be on the same level as Daegal. “Nor am I worth it” ran through his head, but he wouldn't admit it aloud for it would show a lack of self-confidence. “From the sounds of it, you waste your breath on a lot of people.”

sorry for late response, finals are just gross, i have a lot of papers to write, only have 1 of 4 done)
Zephryus
Prince Daegal-Mountains-Arkady
Daegal shook his head to the last comment, it felt more like the other way around in his experience, he couldn't hold a conversation properly, that he found it a mystery that people actually want to talk to him. He blinked in surprise flinching back at the sudden realization of how close the other had gotten, tucking a bit closer to behind the tree, training his eyes on the bark. It helped calm him down, but his chest still felt tight.
He glanced briefly to make contact with Arkady. Surprised that the other wanted him to stay, and looked back to the bark of the tree. The silence between them, was a mix of comfortable to him, but it also made him more panicked because he didn't know what to do. He swallowed back the lump forming in his throat. Making eye contact with the other man again.
"Other way around," he said, verbally stating his feelings. "They...waste their breath on me." He stated it rather confidently, it was about one of the few things he was sure of.

No worries, that is completely understandable. And get those papers done!! I’m feeling stressed out for you, lol }}
Arkady // Zephyrus // Mountains
Arkady waited with patience for a response, intently following Daegals gaze between the tree and himself. A sense of pride settled in his chest knowing that he made the other man uncomfortable. Powered or not, exuberating such control filled all of his needs. It certainly did not remove any smugness on his face. “I wouldn’t give others the satisfaction of measuring your worth.” He grunted in response. “It won’t help you.” Arkady picked up a twig from the ground and fiddled with it between his fingers as he reflected.
“But if you feel like people talking to you is just a waste, I'll cut this short.” With a huff, Arkady stood and began making is way over to his bag. He wouldn’t prod this guy anymore, although the though of ruffing him up for something sounded like it a kick. But he had everything he needed for the moment and the guy wasn’t out here alone, supposedly.

I'm sorry for the wait, I have been busy wrapping up my last week of student teaching and preparing for graduation. Sometimes the stress gives me writers block. Last week I literally had a whole entire page of half written responses and none of them were inspiring me!! I was so frustrated I just erased it all and started over. I should be more free now, but still, thank you for your patience and understanding.}}
