    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    Sokali’s already luminous expression dances when Creecher emits a noise that she is pretty sure is a laugh - and then they reach out again to touch her. This time, Sokali’s laugh was less startled and more delighted this time, making the sound softer while still full of her vibrancy. A friend! The predator and the kitsune, a delightful pair.

    The question asked then was a good question, of course. What did friends do? Sokali wasn’t entirely sure - she only had her younger sisters as reference and she often tried to goad them into doing whatever she wanted or play small pranks on her family. This armoured creature did not look nearly as easy to trick as the sisters.

    She would still try, of course. So she pretended that she was an expert on friendship - speaking with a confidence that was so thin it barely touched the surface of her skin. “Talk, travel, play games.” Did adult friends play games? Sokali thought it would be pretty boring to just stand around and talk all the time so they must. She appraised the armoured figure before her with its shadowy colour and the large THIS IS A PREDATOR stamped across every hard and sharp edge.

    “Bet you’re really good at hide-and-seek.” Probably better at the seeking part, but Sokali's mind doesn't linger on the logistics of why that's true. Having made that observation, naturally she encouraged the opposite - they’re friends but that doesn’t necessarily mean she had to let Creecher win so easily. “What do you say, you hide - and I’ll find you.”
