    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

    good gone girl,
    she’s got nothing left to lose


    She has never held the sort of notoriety that Covet has. All of her youth she worked in the ranks of Dale - in the army, the airforce and the diplomats. She worked hard, and gained recognition, but she never rose higher than a colonel. There had always been someone better, someone more hardworking. She hadn’t minded though. She hadn’t wanted glory. She’d wanted a home.

    She hopes the same for her children. She does not need glory for them. She wants them to be safe and happy. She wants them to have a home with close friends and family to call their own. And if, a few generations down the line she is forgotten, then oh well.

    Rowyn though, Rowyn won’t forget. And Darking wants to do the best that she can while she is still a part of her daughter’s life (for she knows it won’t be forever - after all, nothing lasts). And she’s glad that, at least for this meeting, Covet can be a part of it too.

    She watches as they speak to each other, orange eyes meeting orange and green, and smiles. Even if Covet wants nothing more to do with them after this, Rowyn will have at least had this.

    The girl shrugs when he says she’ll do many stupid things. She doesn’t particularly disagree, but she isn’t particularly concerned. “What other stupid things have you done?” Covet’s second comment however catches her attention. Her mismatched eyes widen and turn to her mother in interest. “Did he ban you? You never mentioned that!” Darking laughs aloud. “No, no. He never banned me. Our little rebellion never got off the ground enough to warrant that.” Looking slightly disappointed, Rowyn turns back to Covet. “Did you ever have to ban anyone?”
