Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

Aarys looked up in surprise. "We'll be in a confined area, and it's basically a big pointy stick. Can't hurt to have it for backup." Aarys grinned tiredly. "While we're on the topic of backup weapons, you want this?" She held up the TT. "No point in having two sidearms."

[Leyyuce]

Peter smiled and took hold of the pistol, holding it at arm's length in order to take a glance through its rugged sights. Satisfied, he lowered the weapon, working its components as to ensure they functioned properly.

"Thank you very much, Aarys," he stated approvingly, tucking the weapon into his belt, near his short-bladed combat knife.

"You seem to have maintained this weapon rather well. Perhaps it will prove to be crucial in my surviving the upcoming assault." Peter glanced toward a group of nearby soldiers, who also were in the process of stripping and cleaning their firearms- he shortly contemplated the chances of their own survival, despite his unawareness as to the nature of the upcoming mission. Perhaps it would only be a minor occurrence.

"Where's Valentin?" Peter asked rather suddenly. "I'm surprised he's not by your side, as could be expected."

[Eltee]

"Just in the tent." Aarys gestured over her shoulder.

[JVElEven]

Hremai, meanwhile, was sitting by herself in her tent, eating another head of cabbage.

She didn't like it particularly well, but she didn't really feel like having anything else.

Finishing her boring breakfast, she exited her tent, staring glumly at the overcasted sky.

[Kerr]

Gladro awoke, got dressed and rushed out to grab something to eat. Just another day in hell.

Sorry for not posting for a while.

"Well..." Aarys said, standing, "Nice talking to you, Peter. I'm gonna get me and Val a bite to eat." She walked to the mess, getting some toast. She returned to the tent she shared with Valentin. "Hey! Delivery for Valentin Fairfax!"

[King Acunasti]

Valentin had completely reorganized the tent. The fur blankets were neatly laid out across the ground, making them look even more comfortable than they already were. The weapons were well-placed against the wall, perfectly lined up. The torn clothing from the cave had been placed inside the basket at the corner of the tent.

"Hey!" Valentin greeted Aarys. "Check this out! I made this place look organized! Pretty sweet, right?"

[Eltee]

Aarys shrugged. "I liked it haphazard better. But hey!" She held up the toast. "Food!"

[King Acunasti]

Valentin grinned and took the food. "Thanks." he said, giving her a kiss. He placed the basket on the ground, sitting on the blankets. "I saved a spot for you right next to me." he remarked as he grabbed a piece of toast.

[Eltee]

"I found a place well enough last night." Aarys remarked, grinning. She likewise took a few bites from the toast.

[King Acunasti]

"You gonna be in that place tonight too?" Valentin asked, taking several bite out of his piece.

[Eltee]

"Assuming either of us die in a godforsaken Drowhole yes." Aarys replied drily.

[King Acunasti]

"Aarys..." Valentin murmured. "Where is this gonna go?"

[Eltee]

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Aarys asked, swallowing down a mouthful of toast.

[King Acunasti]

"You know," Valentin said. "Us. What the hell do us two do if we actually win this whole 'world war'?"

[Eltee]

"I thinking... maybe..." Aarys averted her gaze. "Maybe, marriage, and kids. A house in the forest."

[King Acunasti]

"Call me sick, but...I sort of don't want this war to end." Valentin murmured. "I don't want the ICA to leave. It's all mankind has ever known. If they leave, there won't be a government anymore. It would be chaotic."

He turned to Aarys. "You don't think I'm crazy for saying that, do you?"

[Eltee]

"I understand... But I don't agree." Aarys replied.

[King Acunasti]

"What do you think will happen, then?" Valentin asked. "The ICA will disappear and we'll all just be fine?"

[Eltee]

"I think the genocidal demons who are strangling our world to it's death will be gone, and we can start to rebuild." Aarys said forcefully. "Well it be perfect? No. But we'll be free."

[King Acunasti]

"You really want to have kids?" Valentin asked.

[Eltee]

"Um... I dunno. I don't really think about it. Eventually." Aarys said. "I want to be with you forever. With everything that entails."

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

Meh. I'll settle for World Domination.

Valentin shook his head with a chuckle. "I'd be a terrible father."

[Eltee]

"Oh, shush. You're the kindest, most caring and loveable person I know." Aarys said.
