Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

Aarys stuffed her hands in her pockets, and stared intently at the ground. "I.. I dunno... I... We..."

[Duh]

Spoiler:

"I need an answer, Aarys." Lyra giggled.

[Eltee]

"I... Yes. I guess. I mean, if it comes up, it's better to be prepared, I, I..." Aarys stuttered.

Eeeeeeewwwwwwww

I'll just let you two boys have your girl talk.

[Duh]

Spoiler:

It's funny [&@%!]. It's really is.

Lyra continued laughing. "Don't be so embarrassed!" she said, putting a hand on Aarys's shoulder. "If you want to get it on with him, you should! If this raid goes well, come back to my tent. I'll give you what you need."

[Eltee]

Aarys nodded gratefully. "Okay. Great." She said disjointedly. "When is the raid happening, anyways?" She wondered aloud.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin approached Aarys from behind. He had missed the entire conversation between her and Lyra. "Hey, angel." he said, rubbing Aarys' shoulders. "What's happening? Did I miss anything?"

[Eltee]

"Nope. Just some boring... Stuff." Aarys replied hastily.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin grinned, running his fingers through Aarys' hair. "Boring stuff?" he asked. "What kind of boring stuff?"

[Eltee]

"The 'don't you worry your pretty little head about it' kind of boring."

[King Acunasti]

"What are you hiding?" Valentin asked with a cocked eyebrow.

[Eltee]

Aarys kissed Valentin on the lips. "Trust me. Just, shushh."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin laughed. "You know when the raid starts?" he asked as he began rubbing Aarys' back again.

[Eltee]

"I dunno. After an address from the General, and the One... Yadah yadah." Aarys replied. She was playing with the M1 Bayonet knife.

[Leyyuce]

Peter shortly eyed the minor group that had gathered near Lyra, immediately and unintentionally folding his arms across one another in a display of displeasure as Valentin gently rubbed Aarys' back. He found it disconcerting that, once again, the pair's behavior was so blatantly casual in the midst of the camp's hurried pre-combat preparations.

Spoiler:

Geez, Peter needs to lighten up a bit

[Eltee]

Aarys noticed Peter. "Peter!" She said. "I'm sorry I overreacted." She walked over, and extended her hand. "Before anything else, we are comrades. Forgive and forget, right?"

[Leyyuce]

"I..." Peter took firm hold of Aarys' hand, but neglected to meet her welcoming gaze- his attention was elsewhere.

"I'm not angry with you, Aarys. Please, there's no need to apologize."

[Eltee]

"With me?" Aarys asked. "Who are you angry with, then? We will likely be going into combat in less than an hour, you can't keep stuff bottled up."

[Kerr]

Gladro walked to the center of the camp to meet up with the rest of the group.

[Leyyuce]

"Well, Valentin... but I-" Peter paused, adjusting his rifle's sling as it hung across his shoulder. "Don't worry. I wouldn't allow something like this to affect my performance."

[Eltee]

"Okay, whatever you say, Peter." Aarys said. She bit her lip. "Just remember that all of us are willing to die for you, just as I know you are willing to die for any of us." She squeezed his shoulder.

[Leyyuce]

"Of course. I wouldn't doubt that for a second."

[Eltee]

"Okay, then." Aarys said. She walked the few feet and stood beside Valentin, sliding a narrow arm around his waist.

[King Acunasti]

"What was that all about?" Valentin asked. "Is he p*ssed at something?"
