I think he’s still a pretty intelligent gentleman and I’m certainly getting that from him. I’d say that he has some sort of right to be cocky though, considering his privilege so his lines if it does anything, just makes him seem young.

If anything this mix of personalities might draw Sofie in closer to him. Opposites attract, no?

Ahhh, caught onto that. I'll give Sofie a reply, should be done in about 10 mins! :)

EDIT: Done! A bit weird but done all the same

Whew! New post is up! Sorry if it transitioned so quickly. I haven't written anything remotely story like in the past few weeks and this was my lame attempt at inserting some of Sofie's history in there. Ahhh, my writing really is terrible :/

I hope you've had a great day!

"Your technique could use some improvement here and there, but that was a solid first try for a newbie pilot. Nicely done, m'girl. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a nap in my bunks. Do not disturb me until we arrive at our destination, understand? Good." Sofie blushed and leaned back further in the seat, crossing her arms and quirking the corner of her mouth into a bashful smile. She watched as Darcy walked off and gave a small chuckle before stretching her arms over her head, the grin on her face only growing wider as she listened to Ed talk. She made a show of shielding her face with her hands and a laugh managed to escape her this time, filling the room as it echoed off metal walls. It had been so long since she had laughed that Sofie almost immediately muffled it. Taking one glance at Ed's smile and at her own open expression she remembered her old friends and how they had shared so many laughs together after funny stories. Those were times when she had been allowed to be happy, away from her father...her colleagues. This moment here with Ed reminded her of that and a wistful smile appeared on her lips. Again, she remembered that they wouldn't be able to know where she was, if she had achieved her crazy dream, if she was alive at all because they were buried under cold soil and their smiles were rotting from their faces but she was sure they were watching somewhere and that they would be happy to see her in such joy.

The room turned quiet as Sofie watched the stars pass by. She had never really allowed the loss of her friends to hit her but now that it did she wondered why. Her gaze strayed over to Ed. Maybe it was finally because she was feeling comfortable with him here? Maybe it was because she was in the sky again after so many years of dreaming of it. Or maybe it was simply because it was time for her to remember that again. She didn't know why it was exactly but found that amongst the planets, the dark navy sky and the soft light falling on Ed, she didn't really care.

Sofie caught onto the silence anticipating her reply.
"I'm waiting for the day that he tells those stories...imagine us doing that someday, Ed. When we have enough stories to tell."

Wow that sounds like a lot of thinking went on! I'm always amazed by your ability to think in depth about certain plot points or settings. It's a really good idea and I look forwards to seeing it soon!

Also, another warning. It may take a bit for me to get back to you. I'll try my best but as of now I'm expecting an influx in work for this week :(

Star Trader

@Thinslayer

Ah no! While you're waiting for me to write something do you have any updates on life or whatever at all?

Star Trader

@Thinslayer

Hey there! It's no problem at all. I'm doing well...haven't had the best day but hopefully I'll cheer up soon.

I'll make sure to write back soon :)

Hey, I'd love to join in on the fun but I'm a bit confused as to what's going on. Could anyone give me a quick summary? I'll be forever grateful. It's nice to see this thread up and going again!

@Thinslayer

My reply is so short, I'm so so sorry! I wish I could write more but I've barely fitted this in amongst all my other work. Hopefully, the work load should die down soon once I get myself comfortable with it but for now I'm feeling guilty that you'll have to read through my horrible writing. I'll try to write more the next time I reply but I'm getting better at chasing my writer's block away.

As for what's going on in the story I know Sofie is supposed to steer them to Horus II, and she will but maybe we could have the characters interact more, get to know each other on the journey? Darcy could be there if you'd like or we can move him to another part of the ship :)
