The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Genesis>

Nova finally reached the river and began jogging along the shore, keeping an eye out for anything interesting. After she'd walked along the winding river for a few minutes, she began to feel sweat beads form on her forehead from the sun. She rubbed them away, then slowed to a halt. She sat down on the shore for a moment and pulled her sandals off, dipping her feet in the water. She glanced around hesitantly, but didn't see anyone, and relaxed a bit. She began to recount and straighten her arrows while she sat.

Ryder stopped as he came around a bend and saw a figure on the other side of the river. Hmm.. Rabin. How do I want to play this? He considered taking a more stealthy approach but as he slowly crept forward, he noticed it was only one girl who seemed unaware of him thus far. He straightened up and called from cover of the trees. "Seems to me that the border isn't really the best place to sit."

The Two Sides

@Genesis

Nova jumped up from her cot and noticed that the sun was high in the sky. She sighed, realizing that she had slept until about noon, and it was now time for her patrol shift. Letting out a big yawn, she grabbed her bow and placed it over her shoulder, grabbing her quiver of arrows as well in case there was any trouble on the border. Nova pushed out of the tent, squinting against the bright light, and walked purposefully out of camp and followed the path set by countless other Rabins on their patrol routes.

@jaywing93

Ryder walked along the border slowly, kicking at stones as he went. His patrol had been uneventful thus far, but he was uneager to return to the monotony of camp so he kept a relaxed pace as he occasionally glanced around, scanning the trees for trouble.

Jett nodded in agreement sleepily. "Yeah, you're right. Probably time to get some sleep," he murmured with a yawn. "Hopefully my eye will feel a bit better in the morning." He waved one last goodbye to Li before walking towards his temporary tent on the edge of the camp.

@jaywing93

Li waved as well and headed to her own tent. She ducked inside and kicked off her shoes before settling down to get some sleep.

Jett rolled his eyes. "As convincing as that would probably be, it probably wouldn't end well for me," he chuckled. "They'd probably stab anything mysterious that moved... otherworldly or otherwise."

@jaywing93

"Hmm... Touche. They dooo like to stab things." She chuckled and then yawned. "Watching you get punched in the face was exhausting. I'm tired."

The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Genesis>

Jett shook his head, then chuckled a bit. "I'd probably be like a ghost to them, since all they knew is that I just disappeared one day. They probably thought I died or something." He chuckled slightly. "That'd be interesting."

@jaywing93

Li grinned. "Ooh I know. We can throw a sheet over you and send you to haunt the Broms. That'd be marvelous." . She chuckled. She didn't know what seemed more ridiculous-the thought of Jett with a sheet thrown over his head, or the idea of him chasing around Broms in such a state.

Jett chuckled, "Well, you didn't just witness it, you partook in it." As they walked on and into the forest, he took a precautionary glance behind him to make sure no other humans were following them. Upon seeing no one, he continued walking deeper and deeper into the trees, his eyes adjusting accordingly to the light. "So, have you had any recent skirmishes with the Broms?" he asked curiously, making conversation for their walk home.

@jaywing93

Li shook her head. "Nah. Not recently. It's been pretty boring for me lately." She shrugged. "I guess I can't technically complain about having no one trying to stab me. I'm guessing you haven't had any run ins since you've been confined to camp?"

<Snipped quote by Genesis>

Jett nodded, the ice still held firmly to his eye. "Yep, I'm ready to head back." He exited the bar with Li and began walking towards the forest. "That was fun," he smiled at her. "Thanks for coming out with me."

@jaywing93

Li grinned over at him. "No thank you. It's been forever since I've gotten to witness a bar fight." She chuckled and surveyed the dark trees around her, before directing her eyes to the ground to make sure she didn't trip over anything that could be lying there.

The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Genesis>

Jett accepted both gratefully. "Thanks, Li." He held the ice to his eye and breathed a sigh of relief at the cool touch. He held the drink with his other hand and began taking sips periodically. He glanced around and noticed a clock on the wall indicating that they were even later than he'd predicted. "Woah, we'd better start wandering back to camp," he suggested.

@jaywing93

Li followed his gaze to the clock. After noticing the time, she agreed. "That's probably a good idea. How's the eye? Are you ready to go?" She stretched for a moment, before shoving her hands in her pockets and waiting for her companion.

Jett smiled at her, glad she wasn't too offended by his stepping in. "No problem. You make sneaking out of camp totally worth it," he laughed. He winced slightly and added, "Could you ask the bartender if she has some ice, though?"

@jaywing93

Li chuckled. "Sure thing, killer. I'm on it." She strolled over to the bar and talked with the bartender for a moment before returning to Jett holding an ice pack and a glass. "Here's your ice and here's a drink. I think you've earned it."
