Wha--OH NO. HE CAN HEAR ME. Ohgodohgodohgod.....shhh, shut up or he'll hear you. I peered at her through the bullet-hole in the ice to see if she was far enough away to be safe. And by safe I mean with both knees still intact.

I leaned down, and grabbed my gun. Wow, fuck. This wasn't worth it. I backed up. "Okay. Fine. I'm going. Enjoy your whiny bitch."

Once Lucinda was gone, Lance lowered his bow. "You can come out now." He reassured Seculus.

2015-09-23 08:22:05

🌀

...how do I....oh, right. I let the ice melt into snow and ended up with a few fistfuls on my head and shoulders. I shivered a little, brushed it off, and straightened up. "...th...thank you, Lance."

He returned the arrow into the quiver on his back, and held the bow at his side. "Thank Ivory. She sent me, in a sense."

2015-09-23 08:28:26

🌀

"...she did? She couldn't have known, though."

2015-09-23 08:29:18

●

"She knew that you meeting Lucinda was inevitable, so she asked me to step in when she couldn't. Of course, I couldn't say no."

2015-09-23 08:31:04

🌀

That was some...intelligent forethought on her part. I rubbed my arms and glanced around to see if Lucinda was coming back. "I will have to...thank...." ...wait. I hadn't exactly left her on the best of terms last time. Would she want to see me again?

2015-09-23 08:33:50

●

"Don't worry, Lucinda won't come back if she thinks she doesn't have the upper hand. Yes, Ivory does want to see you. If she didn't she would of never asked me for help."

2015-09-23 08:37:01

🌀

"That's...good." Don't think. Don't think. "Really, thank you. I don't mean to be a burden, but do you have time to show me how to get my wings back out...?"

2015-09-23 08:41:26

●

"Of course. Lets start now." He dropped his bow, removed his quiver, and pulled off his shirt. Yes. He led by example.

2015-09-23 08:45:30

🌀

...oh. I tugged my sweater off as well, tying it around my waist in case I woke up over the undershirt I had on. Once my torso was bare, I twisted my neck to look at one of the scars. It really was odd.

2015-09-23 08:47:39

●

"Okay." Now to put this into words. " You just stretch your back out so it doesn't hurt as much when they come out." He did just that. "And focus on using your energy to push against your scars. If you do it right, you'll feel some tearing, and they should be there." Lance did as he instructed, and his own wings came out.

2015-09-23 08:53:07

🌀

Some...tearing? I frowned a little, stretched my back as instructed, and focused on my scars. I wasn't sure what exactly my 'energy' was or what to do with it, but either way, nothing seemed to be happening.

2015-09-23 08:58:29

●

Lance studied Seculus for a moment. You're trying too hard. "Just take a deep breath, relax. If you try to force it too much, it won't happen."

2015-09-23 09:00:25

🌀

I took a breath and let my shoulders fall slack, but still nothing. Okay. I...just need to practice. Don't panic. Relax. Right.

2015-09-23 09:02:32

●

"Just clear your mind. Focus on one thing only."

2015-09-23 09:03:44

🌀

Focus. Focus on this. Gather energy...and....what the bloody hell was /that/?!

I sat bolt upright. I still had my shirt and sweater on, that would be ridiculous for them to teleport, but, what was that crash?? I peered around in confusion and felt a breeze that sent a shiver down my spine. The window. I shoved myself to my feet off the couch and ran over to it. When the person in black spotted me charging towards them -- hard to miss what with wearing white in the middle of the night -- they darted back out the window. When they were gone, I put up a curtain over it. Tassek still wasn't home. I was slightly worried. That is, I would be if it wasn't /him/. He wasn't considerate enough to tell anyone if he would be late. Was anything stolen? My hand flew to my throat. ...the cross was still there. Thank God. Other than that, I seemed to have caught them in the entrance, so we were okay. I was okay, anyway. No. No I wasn't.

When Ren went to sleep, they woke up in the foggy place where they used to hang out with Brielle and Khasper when they were little. Nowadays, they mostly just wandered around by themselves, occasionally making good use or otherwise forts out of the things they found along their path. They shook their head to clear it, gazed around, then pushed themselves to their feet with a little 'hup' and tugged down their baggy, shoulder-exposing sweater over their boxers before moving along to see what they would find this time.

Ivory looked around. Back here? Already? Hmmm. Odd. Oh well. It wasn't like she could control it. Hands back in her jacket pockets, she started to move. She really hoped she would see Seculus again. They didn't exactly end well on a good note. If not, she'll have to pay him a visit tomorrow. No, she wasn't going to give up on him just like that.

2015-09-24 00:20:48

🌀

They passed a plate, then almost tripped over a lamp. Staying in one place might be a good idea. Naaah. That was boring. Hey, maybe there was somebody here! "HELLOOOOOOO THEEEERE~!" They called, using the lampshade as a makeshift megaphone.

2015-09-24 00:26:49

●

Faintly, Ivory heard something. Well, someone. Was that Ren? They did say something about how they could kill Lucinda. Lets hope they don't. She turned. Yes. That was Ren. She moved towards them, peppermint trailing along with her.

2015-09-24 00:30:08

🌀

They saw somebody coming. Was it Calypso? Lance? They grinned and waved at whoever it was, but when she got close enough they started jumping up and down. "IVORY!!! YOU CAN GET HERE TOO???"

2015-09-24 00:31:40

●

"Mhmm." She hummed once she was close. "Hope you like mints. The smell isn't going away anytime soon."

2015-09-24 00:33:20

🌀

They sniffed the air. "I don't! It smells great! Hey, look at this!" They hopped a bit to the left and where they'd been standing a plush panda appeared. They giggled and picked it up, handing it to her.

2015-09-24 00:35:27

She took it into her hands. So soft. It was nice. "You do this often?" She asked. It obviously better than her mere scent in comparison.
