Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

Aarys laughed. "Mh. I wonder when the officers will adress us."

[King Acunasti]

"The longer it takes them, the better." Valentin pulled Aarys' head forward and kissed her.

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

And so they remain until Duh posts?

[Kerr]

Spoiler:

I assume so I have nothing to do until then.

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

You guys are friggin weird...

Hremai chose this moment to appear at the central square, more than a little confused and very inclined not to talk to Elle.

[Duh]

"Greetings, my pupils!" the One said when the Eight had gathered at the center. "Today, you leave the safety of this camp for the tropics! I will not physically be with you on this journey. But do not owrry! I will never be spiritually absent! If you ever require my assistance, you need only ask. I will be able to mentally contact you no matter where you are."

An officer nodded as the One finished. "Now, all of your luggage has been loaded into two separate cars. We ask that each of you get into one of these two cars immediately. When everyone is inside, you will depart. Twelve soldiers will be accompanying you to ensure your safety. We would send an entire convoy, but it would draw too much attention. Our guide, Mary Klein, will be able to use hidden paths to reach the east without encountering ICA patrols."

Mary nodded, swiftly winking at Aarys and Valentin.

The officer took a deep breath. "That being said, you may get into the cars! We wish you luck! You are our only hope to defeat the Immortal Commission!"

[Eltee]

"Here we go." Aarys said, approaching a jeep. "You driving first, or me?"

[King Acunasti]

"I think we're being driven there." Valentin laughed.

[Eltee]

"Oh... I guess that makes sense." Aarys said. "I swear to god, if we get the same truck as Mary... Hey! Hremai! Lyra! Come and sit with us!" She called, climbing into the back of the truck.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin sat beside Aarys, putting his arm around her. "You cold?" he asked.

[Duh]

Mary leaned up against the side of one of the cars, waiting for the eight to get inside the vehicles.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

"Hey, Mary..." Ashriel said.

Spoiler:

This will be fun.

[Duh]

"Hmm..." Mary replied thoughtfully. "Hey, cutie."

[Leyyuce]

Peter entered the car which Mary rested against, planning to confront her once the Eight began their travels- escape from argument would become impossible on the road.

[JVElEven]

Hremai walked sullenly over to Aarys and Valentin.

"What is it?"

[Eltee]

"Nothing." Aarys said brightly. "Just thought you might want to sit next to friends!" She glanced at Valentin. "I'm warm enough, don't worry."

[King Acunasti]

Once again, Val was slipping his hand up Aarys' shirt.

Spoiler:

He's crazy!

[Eltee]

Aarys firmly removed his hand, and put his arm around her shoulders. "Stoppit." She whispered.

[JVElEven]

Hremai eyed them both through narrowed eyes, putting up anything but a friendly expression.

"What's going on here?"

[King Acunasti]

"Nothing." Valentin replied, this time slipping his hand into Aarys' collar. "Hremai...Did you get your eye healed!?"

[Eltee]

"Holy crap!" Aarys squeaked. "I can't believe I didn't notice."

[JVElEven]

"It's just fine, thank you very much!" Hremai said.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin had now gotten both hands into Aarys' shirt. "How did it happen? The One?"

[JVElEven]

"Err... Yes..." Hremai said, eyes flicking to the sides.

Spoiler:

Okay, is he standing behind her?

[Eltee]

"Val, stoppit!" Aarys said angrily. "That's enough! I asked you before!"
