Maddie Tyler, Archon of Earth
Right after Maddie spoke, it seemed as if many things happened at once. Others spoke up and most seemed to think she was overreacting. Legolas chick is kind of a bitch, she thought.
“Her name is Aella, Maddie. You’d do well to remember it. She can kill you.” Eridanus snickered slightly when he said this.
“But she won’t, right?” Maddie knew she was a strong and confident woman but those traits would do very little toward anyone who had training to hurt her. Eridanus sighed dramtically.
“Well, I’d hope not. She’s here for the same reason you are. You guys need to work together. And by work together, I mean, I’d love to watch you work together,” his voice was heavy with innuendo.
“Oh god,” Maddie’s face twisted in a scowl. “You’re totally a pervert. Besides, I kind of just assumed you were…well, you know…you were…” her voice trailed off, uncomfortable when she realized how ignorant her statement was going to be.
“You assumed I’m gay? Honey, I love every part of everyone. No picking sides for me. Besides, it’s not like I’m corporeal enough to do anything about it. I have to live vicariously through you. And I’d love for you to go be vicarious with Aella.” Maddie felt a tingle up her spine, as if Eridanus was physically moving her.
“Not a chance dude.” Maddie heard Ian mention something about bedrooms and she watched as many of the others made their way out of the main room. She immediately felt guilty about the way she had spoken to him. She had a tendency to get abrasive when she felt out of control and there was no doubt in her mind that it made Ian feel uncomfortable. She watched as he headed to his own room. She wanted to get his attention before he went inside. She reached him and grabbed onto his arm, right about his elbow. “Hey, uh, Ian.” She dropped his arm and intertwined her hands together. “I wanted to, uh, say that I didn’t mean to, uh, make you feel bad.” She paused awkwardly. This was entirely out of character for her and she didn’t like it. She let go of her hands and pushed her shoulders back. She looked him directly into his sky blue eyes and cocked her eyebrow. “I accept that you’re going to be our leader and I wanted to say that you have my support.”
