Marianne blinked her single eye awake to meet the rising rays of sunlight. Or well, it would have been sunrays if it wasn’t still at least five in the morning. Sure the sun was rising, but at a Risen’s pace. And those things were slow either way.

Rising out of bed, she wondered just what had happened to make her awake so suddenly. Then she heard the loud banging of pots and loud screeching before it was quickly silenced with a very audible crack. She could only guess that it was the Shepherd’s resident senior trying to rile them up on an early basis. The though made her giggle.

She blinked, surprised by her own thoughts, all too aware of the rising shade of red on her pale cheeks. This realization only caused another giggle to burst from her lips.

[color=a187be]“Easy girl,”[/color] she reprimanded herself. [color=a187be]“We have all the time to show fearless leader our affection…Jacob is so fun to break and so…interesting….oh!”[/color]

She had completely forgotten the rude actions she had taken just a night prior! Not her time spent in Jacob’s bedroom, but rather the dinner. And the fact that she was supposed to help organize the barracks. Immediate shame came to her being, and she pushed off of Jacob’s bed to quickly head for her own room.

She noticed right away that their fearless leader was nowhere to be seen, probably out somewhere planning strategies. The man was so determined! Still, she had to make it up to everyone somehow. 

Bursting into her tent, she quickly traded her black dress for…well, another, much cleaner black dress, before haphazardly grabbing a few materials and heading towards the mess hall.

Stuffed in her dress pockets were all sorts of dastardly things, including several Manakete teeth, some shards of glass stained with a blackish-red substance, and a shriveled Risen ear.

[color=a187be]“This should be perfect for everyone’s breakfast! It’s the best way to apologize for my lack of help last night,”[/color] she announced cheerily to herself.
