Andia: The Revolution

[King Acunasti]

Valentin pushed Aarys with his index finger, hardly using any force at all.

[Eltee]

Aarys stumbled back several steps, dropping her beer (which did not shatter in the snow), but she managed to keep her footing. She balanced herself for a moment, then reaffixed her gaze on Valentin. "Ha!"

[King Acunasti]

"Rys, I pushed you with my finger, and you stumbled back. That normally wouldn't even faze you."

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

I HATE THAT GRAMMAR MISTAKE WITH A PASSION!!! IT'S 'FAZE' IN THAT CONTEXT!!!

Aarys recovered her beer. "Well... Well... *hic* So?"

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Sorry! Sorry! I wasn't thinking!

I've been slacking in grammar lately. Yesterday, I put the word "peak" instead of "peek" in one of my posts.

"So..." Valentin pushed Aarys again, using just a smaller amount of force.

[Eltee]

Aarys fell squarely on her rump in a snowbank. She looked around forlornly. "It's cold down here." She observed.

[King Acunasti]

"That's enough beer for you, young lady." Valentin chuckled. She gently picked her up. "Come on. We'll get new clothes tomorrow."

[Eltee]

Aarys promptly dropped her beer bottle into the snow. "Okay." She giggled.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin entered the tent and gently placed Aarys onto the blankets. "Well," he said. "I gotta hand it to you - you're a cute drunk."

[Eltee]

"Uhhh... Thanks?" Aarys giggled, kicking off her pants and slipping her shirt off.

Spoiler:

Again?

"Come on..." She mumbled, slipping beneath the blankets.

[King Acunasti]

"You want to do this again?" Valentin asked with a chuckle.

[Eltee]

"No!" Aarys shook her head. "I just want to go to sleep..." She yawned and hiccoughed, making a queer sound. "... Just, lay with me, Val. We'll keep each other warm. Just don't *hic* pour any more beer on me." She giggled.

[King Acunasti]

"You are totally wasted, Aarys. I won't spill beer on you if you won't vomit on me."

[Eltee]

"I won't. I promise." Aarys said solemnly.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin grinned and threw his shirt to the corner of the tent. He slid under the blanket with Aarys.

[Eltee]

"Goodnight. Again." Aarys whispered giddily. She cuddled up to Valentin, falling asleep within a minute.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin shook his head and laughed. "Can't wait to see her reaction when she wakes up tomorrow with a wicked hangover." He kissed Aarys on the forehead and stared upward, trying to fall asleep.

Then blearily tryst to swing a sword at some shards...

I seem to have missed quite a bit of foolery. Serves as a very entertaining read when taken in all at once.

Peter, having concluded his privately-implemented patrol of the camp, reported his inconclusive observations to Drago, and checked his well-maintained rifle, maneuvered efficiently toward the camp's dining area in order to consume a bland meal in preparation for the next day's activities. He was halfway into his second serving of a sort of flavorless vegetable soup when he came across Hremai- the meeting was unintentional, as he had been wandering rather aimlessly between the camp's various makeshift structures and fireside locations.

“Wow, Hremai-” Peter quickly paused, wishing not to be overbearing in his complimenting of the girl's wonderful new looks.

“You look very nice, Hremai,” He stated with an even tone of voice.

”Ashriel- uh, Ash- never mind. Anyway, that hairstyle really lets your features shine. Conservative yet sophisticated. Very nice.” Peter continued to casually consume his meal, as to avoid placing Hremai in a position of embarrassment by too acutely focusing his attention on her new look.

[JVElEven]

Even with Peter's reservations, Hremai blushed heavily, looking away to hide it.

She mumbled a "Thank you" at Peter, but otherwise said nothing, too busy being embarassed to have a conversation.

[Leyyuce]

Peter, after a minute or two of silence, began to speak once again despite Hremai's obvious disinterest in conversation. He had by now consumed the entirety of his bowl's contents; he let the dish rest on the ground near his feet.

"You know," Peter paused for a moment, cocking his head to one side, "I think Valentin and Aarys are much too... what would you say... involved, I suppose, with one another. That's not a bad thing in itself, of course- but I could see it impacting their effectiveness as soldiers. Their behavior seems so casual. We should be on our toes at all times, given the threat of ICA attack. All of us."

[Duh]

"Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I walked in on them earlier tonight." Logan inturrupted, sitting across from Peter and Hremai. "Nasty stuff. They never take a damn break." Logan opened a beer. "You two should go to bed. We've got a big job ahead of us tomorrow."

[Leyyuce]

Peter quickly stood, rifle close at hand, having resolved to soon retire without regard to Logan's prompt.

"Alright. I'll see you in the morning, then." Peter stepped toward a nearby tent without hesitation, turning slightly as he entered as to offer Logan a sort of thanks.

"By the way, Logan- I'm quite glad you spared us the details of the obsessed pair's evening adventures." With that he closed the tent's entrance, eager for morning's arrival.

[Duh]

Spoiler:

Should we wait for JV to make his "Hremai going to bed" post? Or should we just skip to morning time now?

[Leyyuce]

Spoiler:

I think it'd be alright to head straight into the morning, as long as we don't progress too far into the day's events before JV's next login.
