Kijani smiled fondly at Master Yoda when he startled awake. She had caught him ‘resting his eyes’ standing up more than once. When she had asked to learn how to sleep standing up, Yoda had sent her on a two mile hike of Dagobah, promising that she would sleep afterward. She hadn’t asked again after that.

She too, took a place near the fire, warming her hands before settling in.

“Assume my father has told me nothing. Because he has not.” Kijani tried to keep the anger from her voice, but knew she still sounded terse.

“Your arrival is a surprise to me.” She quickly backpedaled. “A welcome surprise, to be sure, Prince Eskel. But a surprise nonetheless. Please tell me why my father has sent you here.”
Lessee. Lesser villain plots, a kidnapping, police presence or military presence.

Intrigue, basically.
Is the hook because Mina is missing? I'm not sure that Kijani would openly involve herself in that. I thought very hard about it and she's just... not going to get involved, especially since there's already security there? Sorry, I'm being difficult.
I'm really not sure what to post. I think I wrote myself into a corner putting Kijani by herself.
Jinayah slowly left her father and sisters' sides to approach the prince who seemed to have taken some kind of interest in her. Maybe he was just curious. Gracefully, she crossed the room, gliding from step to step with nary a sound. It was similar to the way she hunted. She could even sneak up on some of the best-trained knights.

As she approached, she smiled nervously. Hopefully her father would not see this as an interest in a romantic partner. It wasn't. She just wanted to talk to him.

"Greeting, Princess Sarah, Prince Alexander. It's a true pleasure to meet you both." She dipped into a flawless curtsy. She may dislike wearing dresses, but she could move in them as easy as breathing.

"How are you finding our kingdom so far?"
Would having Jinayah talk to Prince Alexander mess up the post about the King letting everyone mingle? Should I wait?
I was going to have Jinayah walk over to your prince. Can you wait until tomorrow?
I didn't quite catch it the first time, but I find it very sweet that he's starting to think of her as his own daughter.

Also, feel free to roll the scene forward if you can't think of much more.
Jinny’s eyes went wide at Slade’s declaration. “Wait, you’re coming with me?” Her eyes sparkled with joy. “Yaay! That’s so awesome!”

She was relieved. While she was absolutely determined to make a friend, she wasn’t sure if it was actually going to happen. After all, she didn’t have much experience in it. But if her uncle was right, there would be plenty of kids her age with similar views around. Not being thought of as weird was probably the first step. The rest she was just going to have to work out on her own.

“If you’re going to be a teacher, I don’t think the other kids know what they’re in for. You’re not the nice kind of teacher.” She was still smiling, though. Then she backtracked a bit, realizing she might have been insulting. “Not saying you’re mean. But when you spar with me… you kick my butt. A lot.” While she knew he wasn’t fighting her at anything near full strength, he never failed to take advantage of her mistakes. She had bruises to prove it. Jinny had lost over and over again. It was a frustrating not even to be able to land a proper strike. But she would, one day. She got faster and more adept with every fight.

“I have a question though.” She peered up at him curiously. “Is the fact that I’m adopted by you going to be a secret there? Or am I allowed to talk about it?” When she had taken her first steps into the underworld, there had been a rather frank discussion about enemies and danger. Considering where they were headed, she wasn’t sure if their connection would prove more dangerous than ever.

Interactions: The Team, @Courtaud


Kassandra stared at the hologram Batman and tried not to squirm. Even though he was leagues away and wearing a mask, it was a struggle not to be intimidated by that stare. She listened as their mission was described, and was quite surprised when Talon was chosen to lead.

She was even more surprised, and impressed, when he began speaking quickly and tactically about what their mission duties were. It was a bit of a shock: Talon spoke up less than she did, although she had been working on that quite a bit. Still, the others would be beginning to see that she was holding something back. What exactly, was a mystery.

“Infiltration, huh? I can manage that.” She could manage the cold, too. It wasn’t something she usually thought about, but it was cold in Atlantis compared to the surface. A few adjustments to her costume and some closed shoes, and she would be fine.

“Talon, unless you’ve got more to say, I’ll go get ready.” Already her stomach was twisting, with a strange mix of anxiety and excitement. At least she’d get to do some good work before she was kicked off the team. That day was always going to be looming over her head.

The day everyone found out what she was, and what she had done.

It was just a matter of time.
