[h3][color=39b54a]Trevor "Shadow" Stevens[/color][/h3]


  Trevor watched quietly as the others spoke and gave their own opinions of the situation, nodding to the others as he filled out the door behind Maisy. Something about this town and its overly friendly women folk made him feel weird, he wasn’t used to this much attention and somehow he had caught the eye of many of them. Perhaps it was his height or the fact he wore medieval armor, whatever the case the little ball of fury beside him kept most of them away just by looking at her. He could have sworn she glared at him whenever he was stopped by some lady’s looking for attention.

  She was being rather quiet until she pulled him behind some buildings to escape from all the prying eyes of the townsfolk. He was wondering what was going on until she spoke up and hit him in the arm, [color=39b54a]“Ow”[/color] he said as he gave her a sad face and rubbed his arm. He still kept quiet as the smaller girl spoke, she was right to be worried and it wasn’t something he was used too, having someone worry about him. Still, the worry and subtle sadness in her voice made him sigh, but he still smiled at her, [color=39b54a]“I’m sorry, I’m not used to someone worrying about me or my safety. But my leg will be fine, it didn’t go to deep.”[/color]

  The man paused for a moment to look around then looked back to her, “[color=39b54a]you know I’ve been thinking about us a lot lately and well, I wanted to talk to you, so I could tell you something, so I could be honest with you[/color]” again he paused nervously looking around. He began to speak in a hushed tone, “[color=39b54a]everyone in the Fort Stevens contingent is sworn to secrecy not to me but to my father. So by telling you this I could very well be exiled from my settlement.” [/color]He paused again and sighed, “[color=39b54a]Some teamsters we brought with us are not teamsters. Five of them to be exact, my special ops squad, Task Force Bravo, Witch Hunters[/color]” this was hard for him, but he wanted to be honest with her and effectively he was choosing her over his father.

  [color=39b54a]“They are here because of my father’s contingencies. For example, if the expedition was to fail, their job would be protecting me and getting me home, effectively making me disappear when you would need me most.” [/color]Again the increasingly nervous Trevor checked his surroundings before returning to her. [color=39b54a]“Another contingency would be to protect me if I were to take command, and they would snuffle out any resistance to me.”[/color] He smiled at her for a moment, [color=39b54a]“I want to be honest with you, no secrets.”[/color]

  This time he stepped up to her and put his arm around her, pulling the girl closer. [color=39b54a]“I was going to wait till later to tell you this but with the deaths of our comrades, the stark reminder of who we are, of what we are, and what we will become… I don’t want to wait any longer”[/color] he looked down into the blonde girl’s mossy green eyes and smiled. He waited for a little while just getting lost in her eyes for a few moments, [color=39b54a]“I don’t care if you want to keep what we have together secret, I’ll still keep it secret because it’s what you want.” [/color]He was still smiling, and he could feel his anxiety start up again as his hand was shaking. Moving his right hand to run her hair through his fingers he sighed again and brought his head down to whisper in her ear, [color=39b54a]“Maisy, I… I love you”[/color]
