Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Me neither, but I know Scout is busier than the rest of us, or at least posts less frequently for now. Also with five people, that's only just over a post a week if one person posts a day anyhow. ^.^;;

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

@Mogtaki No idea. I think we're waiting on @Scout?

Amuné greeted Fitz, but she acted like Kirk wasn’t even there. At the assassin’s question she glanced his way, frowning. “Laying out?” she echoed, confused.
“Means to punch someone unconscious, lass,” Fitz supplied.
“Oh. Well...um...fighting is bad, so...” The girl very carefully didn’t look at Kirk, speaking instead to Cain. “If someone suggested you should punch them I’d say you shouldn’t, because that’s bad. But no one did, so I don’t know why you’re asking.”
The younger guard slumped when she refused to look at him, rubbing his face with a hand. “Lass...” he groaned. “Yer killin’ me, you are. ‘Twas nae on purpose, ye know that. I was careless, an' I should nae have been so rash. But Mr. Cain is better now, an’ I had to answer to Colonel Reese as well. Do ye nae think ‘tis enough yet?”

The other guard shook his head and looked at Cain. “She’s not said a word to him since it happened. Can’t entirely blame her, considering what happened. I’m glad to see you up and about, though I hope you will forgive my fool of a brother. He’s lucky he kept his job.” Fitz considered the assassin, then tilted his head to indicate Amuné. “She told me about the market. Said it was you as kept her from getting hurt worse. We owe you for that.”

The girl visibly hesitated, bracing herself before she passed over the threshold to the dining hall. Most of the school was present, certainly a number of the guards and all of the students. It seemed to be served family style, with serving dishes passed up and down the long tables. They were late, and people were already eating. Their tardy arrival attracted a number of stares from the students, and Amuné avoided meeting any of them. Some were merely interested, most neutral, but a few were actively disdainful. More than a few gaped at Cain’s tattoos and piercings. There was a stir at one of the guard tables as well, though it might have been unrelated. Amuné ignored all of it, hurrying to a seat in the corner by the kitchen, where there were more empty places than people. She only paused when an older boy called her name and half-stood, but the child just gave him a smile, a wave, and a shake of her head. She couldn’t ask Rey to sit with her all the time, he had other friends and with Cain better she wasn’t even alone.

It was indeed turkey, and she only took a small piece of the meat, showing a clear preference for just about everything else. If Cain tried to engage her, Amuné’s responses were a bit distracted. She didn’t know why, but mealtimes were louder even than the market in town. Already her head was starting to ache. A few minutes later, two others else joined them. It was Fitz and Kirk, the latter looking awkward, subdued, and very ashamed. “Look, th’ first thing I want ta say, I’m terrible sorry ‘bout what happened. If ye want ta lay me out, I’ll understand, but ye should wait ‘til later, so as nae ta cause a big fuss.”

@Belle <.< *hoards the dark chocolate* I don't like milk nearly so much. But there's some white chocolate too, we can share that. ^.^;

“Rondy...rendezvous?” The girl tried the word again, still tripping over the syllables a bit but coming much closer this time. She looked disappointed when Cain hadn’t seen the flowers, but maybe he’d still been fuzzy because he just woke up. “Analyze is like examine, right?” Amuné took his hand and started along the side of the building, towards the section of wall she’d climbed over the other day. She wrinkled her nose. “You don’t /examine/ flowers. You enjoy them.”

There was a garden farther along that looked like it served the kitchen, so they would have various fresh herbs. The girl stopped before they got to it, instead opening a side door. “Usually I prefer to use the kitchen entrance, but they’ll be very busy right now,” she told Cain, holding the door for him. “They don’t mind me but I try to stay out of the way when they’re busy.” Inside they could hear the sound of many people, talking and laughing. “The dining hall’s just around the corner.” Her pace slowed. Amuné was not a fan of mealtimes. There were too many people for her. “Delshad said it’s turkey tonight.” When they were a few yards from the large doors leading to the hall, her hands curled into fists, and her expression tightened. “At least you’re here...Jillian’s still visiting family and I’m not allowed to sit with Sandy or Angie.”

@TheMinorFall Next post will head to the dining hall. Can you tell she's made an effort to remember the new word Cain used with her before? =P I dunno how clear it is, so "runny-voo" is supposed to be "rendezvous". She doesn't know how to say it right. ^.^;
