  1. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] began trolling nervyMoxie [NM] at 11:40 --
  2. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] walks with Riskshot; they're the only two trolls left. Her senses are on high alert, and her eyes dart to the slightest sound. --
  3. -- nervyMoxie [NM] is now an idle chum! --
  4. -- nervyMoxie [NM] quietly follows. Her arm is still bothering her, preventing her from using her bow as much as she'd like to, which irritates her beyond belief. --
  5. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] leads them to a defensible area. --
  6. AA: <\ We should be able to rest here a moment, my lady. />
  7. NM: Finally!
  8. -- nervyMoxie [NM] sits down with a heavy sigh. --
  9. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] sits down next to her, keeping an eye on the wide expanse. --
  10. -- nervyMoxie [NM] is quiet for a few moments. Then: --
  11. NM: ... this'd make a nice place f☼r a sh☼wd☼wn.
  12. AA: <\ My lady, we must press on! There are too many of them... />
  13. NM: I'm tired ☼f running.
  14. NM: All I want is a nice, excitin' death. Is that t☼☼ much t☼ ask f☼r?
  15. AA: <\ My lady... />
  16. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] falters for a moment, looking up at her. --
  17. AA: <\ If they capture you, they will do unspeakable things. />
  18. -- nervyMoxie [NM] smiles. --
  19. NM: Then I w☼n't let 'em capture me. Simple as that.
  20. NM: I'll die by my ☼wn hand if I have t☼. That's h☼w m☼st bards' tales end, isn't it?
  21. AA: <\ If that is your wish, my lady, I will fight with you until the end. />
  22. AA: <\ On 'til forever. />
  23. -- nervyMoxie [NM] puts a hand on her leg. --
  24. NM: Actually...
  25. NM: I'd like y☼u t☼ live.
  26. AA: <\ My - my lady - />
  27. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] reaches out, tenatively, to rest her hand over Riskshot's. --
  28. AA: <\ I... could not live without you. />
  29. NM: S☼me☼ne needs t☼ keep the merry tr☼lls alive.
  30. NM: Y☼u g☼tta d☼ what y☼u g☼tta d☼.
  31. AA: <\ But, my lady... />
  32. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] bites at her lip. --
  33. -- nervyMoxie [NM] gives her a level look. --
  34. NM: This is an ☼rder.
  35. NM: N☼t a suggesti☼n.
  36. AA: <\ My lady, I cannot! />
  37. NM: Y☼u can an' y☼u will!
  38. NM: I'm n☼t l☼sin' anym☼re tr☼lls! I've l☼st en☼ugh!
  39. AA: <\ But I... />
  40. NM: Are y☼u defyin' my auth☼rity, Sentinel?
  41. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] winces, and her voice is small. --
  42. AA: <\ ... my lady... I've always pitied you... I could not leave you, my heart could not bear the shame. />
  43. -- nervyMoxie [NM] squeezes her hand. --
  44. NM: ... I kn☼w y☼u have. But y☼u've g☼t t☼ let me g☼.
  45. -- abysmalAirspace's [AA'S] eyes begin to water, and she turns her head to try and hide the tears which begin to fall down her face. --
  46. AA: <\ My, my lady... />
  47. AA: <\ ... please... don't make me do this! />
  48. -- nervyMoxie [NM] speaks firmly. --
  49. NM: This isn't ab☼ut us.
  50. NM: This ab☼ut ☼ur gr☼up, an' we've g☼t t☼ have it survive.
  51. NM: I'm n☼t lettin' sweeps ☼f my w☼rk fall int☼ n☼thin'!
  52. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] bites at her lip, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment. --
  53. AA: <\ I... I understand, my lady. />
  54. -- nervyMoxie [NM] smiles sadly. --
  55. NM: I'm glad y☼u d☼.
  56. -- nervyMoxie [NM] pulls her into a hug. --
  57. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] is at first surprised, but then she sighs, nestling against Riskshot. She rests her head on her shoulder, wrapping her arms around her. --
  58. AA: <\ You were the perfect commander... and boss... />
  59. NM: Ha! I was far fr☼m that. Y☼u were by far the better at y☼ur j☼b.
  60. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] shakes her head against Riskshot's shoulder. --
  61. AA: <\ I... I only ever wanted to keep you safe and happy. />
  62. NM: An' y☼u did just that. S☼ n☼ regrets, alright?
  63. AA: <\ Al, alright... />
  64. NM: Let's get s☼me rest, then.
  65. NM: We'll need t☼ get up early t☼ prepare y☼u f☼r y☼ur flight.
  66. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] nods, defeated. --
  67. AA: <\ Yes, my lady... />
  68. -- nervyMoxie [NM] smiles. --
  69. NM: Sleep n☼w, then. I'll watch f☼r y☼u.
  70. AA: <\ Can I... />
  71. AA: <\ ... can I stay like this... />
  72. NM: ... here?
  73. NM: ..... sure, I guess.
  74. AA: <\ ... thank you... />
  75. NM: It's the least I c☼uld d☼.
  76. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] nestles in against Riskshot, and closes her eyes. --
  77. -- nervyMoxie [NM] pats her head. The Sentinel's warmth reminds her of the Vagabond... --
  78. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] murmurs something, something which might have been 'I love you' - but it's too quiet to properly hear. She drifts off to sleep in the Pilferer's arms. --
  79. -- nervyMoxie [NM] frowns at the mumbled words, but still gives her a soft kiss on the head. She deserved better than this... --
  80. -- abysmalAirspace [AA] coos against Riskshot's skin; a dove-sound, a sound she hasn't made for sweeps. It means she's happy... for once, she's finally happy. --
  81. -- nervyMoxie [NM] hears the coo and... it just breaks her heart. She continues to stroke her head as she keeps watch for the soldiers. --
  82. NM: I'm s☼rry.
  83. -- nervyMoxie [NM] mumbles it. --
  84. -- nervyMoxie [NM] gave up trolling abysmalAirspace [AA] at 12:46 --
