BazmundThe moment, the very moment those chains were lifted from her wings the woman stretched them out as wide as they could go and hit the air with what handful of feathers she had left, trying to bring herself into the air. Cuts started to open again as blood seeped down her feathers from the filthy wounds, and she managed to push herself through the air a metre ahead of Lucien before she stopped, span around and crouched like a beast to observe Lucien.
12 didn't get it, she didn't understand. The only thing that stopped her from staggering and jumping her way as far as possible from his new master was the fact he willingly and knowingly took her chains off, and he didn't strike her as the type to do something as stupid as that without a good reason. Admittedly, she did owe him something due to the fact he saved her from being trapped with the slavemaster...
...All of these moral issues were making her head hurt. 12 reverted to her natural state - she was too weak to make it more than a night in this strange town - as she crept forward uncertainly, wings flicking at the air every so often to check that she can still move them if she wanted to. Her beady eyes looked fearfully at Lucien, then down at the outstretched hand. Eventually, she left him holding his hand out and instead pushed herself to her feet on her own; she stood straight-backed in what would've been taken as arrogance if it wasn't actually the weight of her wings requiring her to avoid slouching to keep her spine in one place.
When Lucien asked (or, well, ordered) 12 to follow, that's exactly what she did. Her talons clicked against the cobblestones as she stepped very lightly on the floor, for each step hurt her toes and trying to fly hurt her wings. She did not see a reason to speak unless she was asked a direct question, so she walked in complete and utter silence, peering down at Lucien's back whilst she walked.

Morning, lovelies! I have time for a post before I go.
EDIT: I -would- have a post ready, but Lucien hasn't caught up with Rosa yet! D:
EDIT EDIT: Posted anyway. <3 Lucien can catch up to Rosa now.

Alas. Return to us, Metronome and Fei.
Maybe I should draw someone else (just as soon as I finish watching GBBO)
Any preferences/references/descriptions for your characters and I'll pick one when I come back in an hour! You can pick your pose too if you have a specific pose reference in mind.

1) I don't really have one, and your urge to draw is much better than my attempts xD
I'll make it up when I get there, then.
The Fated Fallen said 2) As I put in a post which was soon lost on the last page, I could do a post walking to the tavern where I ask Rhone about his past
Well, if nobody posts in the next half hour I might cook something up for 12, but there's not much you can do. At least, I've got an idea on what 12 can do, which is attempt to fly away.

If you ever get so bored, you could draw the whole cast. Might take a while but hey, we've all got time
I may need image references, but I'll try to draw a different character every time I have the urge to draw. So it would take a while, yeah!
Fei or metronome, you two may have to post next, because -one- of you needs to move us along.
*twiddles thumbs between posts* Perhaps I should write something now? I've drawn dearest 12, I feel I should write something too.

Well, I'm not going to post twice in a row in the IC. I'll have to wait until someone else IC's before I make my move.
I elect Fallen to post next!

They are on the way, I believe. I don't know whether we should arrive on time, GM says he is closing down the place so...
Nah, say that the inn-goers (the drunks) are leaving so you can assume that it's almost closing. Then move on to wherever - maybe the Le croix manor?
Still, Rhooone, I want to meet youuuuu :D

Smoke newt weed every day.Posted the collab! Yeah, I know, weak ending. I ran out of things to say/do.
Let's just head on over to Rosa and her tiny friend. Hopefully we'll bump into Rhone (or is Rhone with Lucien? Come say hi, Rhone!)

She was doing what she had been told to do, but in all likely-hood she was waiting for the opportunity to escape"Now, now. Enough of that." Lucien admonished the Harpy "I don't condone chains in my household" With that, he leaned over and began to undo the restrictive metal binds. She was in a bad way, blood and bruises everywhere.
WOOSH.
12 disappears into the night, never again seen by the Le croix family.
(Or, at least, that's what she's going to try to do.)
