    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

    For Leilan, time no longer seems to make sense. How can it, with so much magic pumped into one’s body? Yanhua’s concern is touching, but to the roan not so very much needed. He’s pretty sure that the girls will show up one way or another. Lilliana though... she always had a tendency to do the unexpected. That’s why for her, he is more worried than the others. What if she decides they are better off without her? She’d stay where she doesn’t belong.

    ”I need you here.” Meaning don’t go looking by yourself. It’s a hard choice but the only one that’s reasonable now, and while logic was never Leilan’s best trait, seeing all those details about life - life here right now, Yanhua’s concerned frown, his temper and emotions kept in check with experience, but also the white gyrfalcon that is perched atop a tree, the feeling of many other souls wandering these woods - it does something with the scope of things, and Yanhua’s place in all of it is at the center. ”Amarine will be back shortly, and I don’t doubt that Memorie and Cheri will be drawn back here as well.” The scaled magician adds it purely as a reason to keep the horned stallion where he belongs - if he goes wondering all hell could break loose - but nevertheless the roan shares the feeling that something is amiss, with the chestnut. ”Never jump to conclusions,” Leilan says almost distantly; his eyes swirl with a newly found silver colour as he tries to think of where the blue-eyed mare must be. The veil is restored, and he has his suspicions, but voicing them makes it all far too real.

    Besides, until he’s certain, jumping to conclusions would only make the matter worse. ”Caution isn’t a bad thing. I’ll be on the lookout. But I should probably get the hang of this...” he shakes his head and lifts a knee to prove his point. ”... method of transportation, first.” Yes, he could probably find a way to teleport back into the Afterlife now. For himself, it seems to be safe. But bringing someone through - provided they were there at all? Leilan doesn’t feel much for bringing half a body to one place and leaving the rest behind, or worse, to do the same thing with a soul.

    He blinks, then suddenly stares at @[Yanhua] with deep brown eyes. ”In the meantime she’d want you to be in charge. I doubt she wanted to lead much longer at all.”
    I feel your love and I feel it burn
    down this river, every turn


    Sorry if it’s a bit all over the place!
    Two things I know I can make: pretty kids, and people mad.
