Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

Aarys blushed down to her toes. "Oh, God... I'm so embarrassed..."

[Duh]

"Look, I get it," Logan said. "It's a good time. But you were...people usually aren't that loud."

[Eltee]

Although it seemed nearly impossible, Aarys blushed even more, and she stated squarely at her feet. "Oh, God... Was I really that... Loud...? Oh, God..."

[Duh]

Logan nodded, placing a cigarette in his mouth and lighting it. "You must be pretty good at what you do." he said to Valentin.

[Eltee]

"Dammit, get to the point, what do you want, Logan?" Aarys snapped.

[Duh]

"Can you two get through what I'm about to say without pulling your pants down?" Logan asked.

[Eltee]

"That's not fair." Aarys replied. "Please, just get to the point."

[Duh]

"Answer my question."

[Eltee]

"Idiot. You have my word as an Elf that my pants will remain on." Aarys said sarcastically.

[Duh]

"Officers have passed down orders." Logan said. "You've got an hour left to yourselves. Then you've got to report to the One's tent to recieve your new tasks."

[Eltee]

Aarys whistled. "Sh*t. I was hoping we'd have more time..." She shrugged. "I'd better go clean my M1. Val? You coming?"

[Duh]

Logan turned and began walking away. "'I'm going to go pull my pants down.'" he mocked quietly. "'Val? You coming?'"

[Eltee]

"Go screw yourself, Logan." Aarys called after him, walking back towards the tent she shared with Valentin.

[Duh]

Three soldiers were sitting near a fire polishing their blades. They each started laughing as Aarys passed.

"'Oh God, Valentin!'" one of them mocked. The other two laughed harder.

[Eltee]

Aarys looked like she was on the verge of tears. "Please stop..."

[Duh]

"Damn, she needs to tape her mouth shut when they're doing the do." one of the soldiers laughed. "Did you hear her this morning?" he asked one of the others.

"Who didn't?"

[Eltee]

Aarys looked at all the people she thought were her friends, tried her hardest not to cry, and ran back to her tent, where she finally started sobbing.

[Duh]

Spoiler:

God I love making you people cry.

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

You are genuinely good at it. I'm crying all over my keyboard.

[King Acunasti]

"No!" Valentin exclaimed, jogging after Aarys. "F*ck you guys! She didn't even do anything wrong!"

He quickly made his way towards the tent and entered. "Babe, you didn't do a damn thing wrong."

[Eltee]

"I thought they were my friends!" Aarys said bitterly. "I fought beside them! I am prepared tondi beside them! And... Ahh! It's not fair!"

[King Acunasti]

"Rys," Valentin grinned. "They are your friends. They were just having fun. You really didn't do anything. So you were a little loud. So what? I'll be loud with you next time if you want me to. I bet half of the people out there have done the same thing."

[Eltee]

"But..." Aarys took a deep breath. "I guess I understand... But, I feel... I don't know. Do they think I'm a... You know."

[King Acunasti]

"What?" Valentin asked.

[Eltee]

"I don't know. Easy. Like... I... I don't know! And I don't want people thinking of me that way, because... I don't know. I just reapply never thought..." Aarys tried in vain to articulate what she was trying to say, the fell silent. "God, I love you."
