Question! Are we playing canon characters or OCs, or both for this?
I'd love to try this out.
And there it is! ^_^ I hope you enjoy it, I've been thinking of that moment for quite some time.
Kijani tried to relax in the silence of the outdoors, somehow soothed by the odd noises of the moving cart. She had a feeling she had said something wrong. Then again, perhaps it was just her own nervousness betraying her. She didn't know Mr. Croil well enough to gauge the silences to find his mood, and with that thought firmly in mind, she simply tried to forget. Meanwhile, she tried to think of what she would do here for a month. Perhaps her parents were scouring the city for her this very minute. A wry smile twitched at her lips at the very thought. Her mother hadn't scoured a thing in her entire life, and Kijani doubted she would start now, even for her own daughter. Her father would probably elict plenty of bustle from the city Watch, who were probably not going to gain much. She truly hoped not. The last thing she wanted was for her freedom to be cut short. This had been her entire plan, and she didn't know what she could do if it failed...
Mr. Croil's murmurings brought her from the edge of a very dark series of thoughts, and she turned her head to ask him to repeat himself. Before she could, he stood up, so suddenly that she was a bit startled. But he was only going for... fruit. They'd passed under a beautifully scented branch with plenty of ready fruit. To her surprise, instead of eating it himself, he offered it out to her. He wasn't looking at her, and she doubted there was a smile, but... the gesture was clear. A gift.
Kijani found a smile of delight suddenly growing on her face. "Oh! For me? Thank you, Mr. Croil." She took it from his hand, and for the briefest of moments, their fingers brushed in the handling of the apple. His hand was warm and rough, she could tell as much even from the few seconds of contact. To try and distract herself from the warmth that she was suddenly dealing with, she rubbed the apple with a clean handkerchief from her skirt pocket, until it was even shinier than it was. The apple was a brilliant ruby, with a scent more inviting than any perfume she'd ever worn.
"...I beg your pardon for my upcoming lack of manners." With an eagerness in her eyes, she took the apple in both hands. She leaned down and bit right into it, enjoying the way the firm skin split under her teeth, revealing the sweet, juicy flesh beneath. It had a wonderful crispness to it, and she found herself letting out a little noise of pure delight. "Mmm..." Suddenly the city woman was gone, replaced by a young lady who wanted nothing more than the simplicity of being able to bite into a whole fruit. A bead of apple juice ran from the corner of her mouth down to her chin as Kijani chewed cheerfully. She made sure her mouth was clear before she spoke.
"Mr. Croil, it's absolutely perfect! Just the right ripeness, sweet and yet just a hint of tart. So crispy! Honestly, the apples we have in the city are nothing so delicious as this." There was a warm grin on her face that was altogether different from the polite smiles she'd worn before.

*smiles* I always enjoy your responses... They lead me in places I don't see coming. For one thing, I didn't realize Kijani would tip her hand to her situation without meaning it, when she said she'd stay a month. It didn't occur to her that there should be people missing her somewhere.
*thinking on how to write the bit with the apple* This is hopefully going to be a sweet moment for her.

Hey Justric! Is everything okay on your end? Usually the long absences are my job...
^_^ Just checking in with you. My vacation went well, though I got sick right before we went, and we got rained on pretty much every day... But it was still great.

The girl nodded, smiling weakly. The very expression seemed to make her younger, more gentle. "...I... I don't have anything to repay you with. I'm not even sure I'd have anything you need, anyway." Then she turned to Tobias, her smile flickering softly. "...hey, ah... I'm sorry about how we met. I mean... it wasn't anything personal. I just... I do what I know." She shrugged, then looked down at Harvey. "Hey, nuthead." She grinned at him and gently rubbed his soft spikes. "You take good care of your trainer, okay? Don't let any other mean people rob him."
Sorry to see you go, I liked your character idea.
Kijani joined Connor's side, settling the helmet on her head. She knew she would be choosing her jian as her first weapon, and could probably think of a few incredibly thick books to use as paper for her second weapon. But what could be her third?
Devika smiled faintly as Katherin chose her, and she joined their team with a bit of nervousness. Weapons? She didn't really know how to use a weapon. Maybe she could get some gloves to make her punches hurt more? She carefully settled the helmet over her thick hair, pushing it into place. All she really wanted was to not hold anyone back.

Jinny listened to Josh, her dark eyes wide and red from tears. She nodded to his explanation, and then almost started crying again when he said he would find her, no matter what. "I'll look for you. Promise. I may be little, but I know a lot of stuff. And maybe you can teach me more." A tiny flicker of a smile crossed her face, and she wiped her nose again. "One day I'm gonna be strong like my Daddy, and you, too. I'll be able to protect people."
In the rear view mirror, Richard watched the scene unfolding in the back of his truck, while simultaneously keeping his eyes on the road. His chest hurt. It hadn't hurt this way in years. But it did now, and it was like the pain had never left.
