Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

"Thank you, Valentin." Aarys said. She smiled. "Are all humans as strong and brave as you?"

[King Acunasti]

"That's a good question." Valentin replied. "I'm not sure. Are all elves as smart and seductive as you?"

[Eltee]

"Ashriel." Aarys responded, laughing.

[King Acunasti]

"I guess you're one of a kind." Valentin laughed. "But all of you elves are unnaturally good-looking. It's pretty unfair. I look like a gorilla compared to you."

[Eltee]

"We all look too delicate." Aarys said. "You have rugged good looks, something you'll never find in an Elven man."

[King Acunasti]

"That's what makes you so damn gorgeous." Valentin murmured. "You're so delicate and perfect - like an angel."

[Eltee]

Aarys kissed Valentin. "You're so sweet..." She whispered, running her fingers through his hair. "If I am an angel, you are the only thing anchoring me to this sh*tty world."

[King Acunasti]

"I guess I just can't let you go." Valentin grinned. "But I'm being serious when I ask this - Do you know that you're abnormally good-looking?"

[Eltee]

"No." Aarys replied.

[King Acunasti]

"You really are." Valentin stated truthfully. "Every Elven woman in the world is amazingly beautiful. But you make them all like like...freaks. I've heard plenty of other rebel men talking about you before we got together."

[Eltee]

Aarys's eyes widened. "You're joking, aren't you?"

[King Acunasti]

"No." Valentin replied. "I'm not joking at all."

Peter departed in the direction of the group's camp at this point, allowing Dragovan to retain possession of the bloodied handkerchief. He wished not to become entangled in the emotionally-charged argument; it was a bit disturbing, to say the least, for him to witness certain comrades behaving in such a childish manner. Tears, should the confrontation come to that, would be simply too embarrassing to comfortably witness.

Kanden is more than capable of handling things, Peter thought assuredly, climbing into the driver's seat of a lightweight vehicle loaded with unloaded weapons and ammunition. He reached his destination, the rebel camp, within the half-hour, having driven particularly slowly in order to properly scan his surroundings for signs of enemy activity all the while; he positioned the jeep near to the armory, given its cargo, and promptly departed from the driver's seat. He proceeded to maneuver toward the nearby tents, seating himself near a fire at the base of the row which held his own makeshift resting place- he gave his weapon a proper cleaning as he sat, reflecting upon the effort's current status.

[Eltee]

"Oh. Um, okay." Aarys blushed.

Spoiler:

You must be rolling your eyes epicly, Leyy.

[Leyyuce]

Spoiler:

And laughing a bit. I remain aptly entertained by your characters' banter.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin smiled. "You're blushing." he said. "I still love it when you blush."

[Eltee]

Aarys nodded, before bursting out laughing. "Do you know who the women in the camp are talking about?"

[King Acunasti]

Valentin chuckled. "Who's that?" he asked, pushing a stray strand of Aarys' hair behind her hair.

[Eltee]

"Gladro!" Aarys said, giggling.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin laughed along with Aarys. "I didn't see that one coming!"

[Eltee]

"Well, when you think about it, I guess it makes sense." Aarys said. "It's still funny."
Sue was silent for a moment. "Really? Me? I thought Lyra and Lae were the prettier ones..." Aarys said. She was still blushing.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Heh, I thought Peter was going to walk in on these two. That would've been awkward.

"You make them look like freaks." Valentin repeated. "I've encountered several conversations about you."

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Freaks? That's mean.

"Well... Well... Wow. Lucky you, I suppose."' Aarys said, bemused.

[King Acunasti]

"I know damn well how lucky I am." Valentin stated. "I thank God every day for you."

[Eltee]

"And me for you! Listen to yourself, Val! You're sweeter than sugar!" Aarys laughed.
