    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

    Carwyn
    Folded wings into flattening veins and fluttering eyes
    It is clear from her arrival that Eyetooth and Cassady are going to carry this conversation, for the most part. Carwyn takes the opportunity to take a long look at them.


    The boy has a glow of glowing bits and a rather grumpy demeanor, even snapping at his own sister. Perhaps, Carwyn thinks, he is not so different from Cassie. She is known to take a grump swipe at people on off days as well. That bit of Kellyn and Elite that Carwyn didn’t get. (Maybe, she thinks now, it came from whichever ancestor these three colorful creatures share – Cassady had said she felt the kinship, as she was rushing off).

    The girl is more colorful, purple and green, with a bright personality that Carwyn envies. How easy would life be, if you could simply strike up a conversation with anyone anywhere? Brennen does it, but not with this much enthusiasm. He has told her that it’s simply a matter of diplomacy and polite small talk, but she likes grandfather Cagney’s quiet way better. He is so taciturn that people often speak just to fill the silence.

    The word “hiding” makes her self-conscious and she steps forward to stand even with her sister, just barely taller even though she is a good two years or so younger. She is closer to the age of the two near-strangers than to Cassady, though she supposes that it doesn’t much matter once you reach adulthood and before you reach old age. (She doesn’t realize, yet, that she will never reach old age). “Hello,” she offers, smiling, though Cassady has already spoken her name. “Pleasure to meet you.”
    Somewhere my lifeline still hums and sings
    In the mess of all I have thrown away
