Re: The Cat in the Crate [OPEN]

As the Accepted sputtered, Jun’s heart sank. He felt terrible about embarrassing her. “I’m sorry,” he apologized. “I-I spoke thoughtlessly. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable, I shouldn’t have said that -” Then he cut himself off as he caught the cook’s glower. “It was nice to meet you! Thank y...

Re: The Cat in the Crate [OPEN]

Jun laughed as the kitten climbed all over the Accepted - and when he glanced over his shoulder at the Mistress of Kitchens, he saw that the cook’s expression was soft. Kittens could melt even the hardest of hearts, he thought, and silently congratulated himself. For a moment, he considered suggesti...

Re: Waking [Attn: Bella]

Jun felt a little anxious when he realized that Gareth would be using the Power. He nodded and returned a shy smile. “Okay,” he said. When the Dedicated said that he would be alright, Jun’s smile widened into a broad grin. He was definitely nervous about becoming a soldier, but also excited. “I cert...

Re: Work and Play (attn: Owen)

Jun followed behind the others and gazed open-mouthed around him. There were dozens of children of all ages seated at the tables. Older children mixed with younger ones, some of them helping the youngest children cut their food into bite-sized pieces and spooning it into their mouths. A few adults s...

Re: The Cat in the Crate [OPEN]

Jun was disappointed, but he didn’t let it show. His heart was beating a little too fast. “O-oh, alright,” he stuttered. “Well, um, if you ever have any free time and just want to relax, I’ve got him and all of his siblings in a crate in a storeroom. I-I spend a lot of time down here, just find m-me...

Re: Work and Play (attn: Owen)

Jun dashed through the doors of the Mar a’Mael and skid to a halt with his hands on his knees, panting and out of breath. He had learned, a little too late, that his chores today would not be within the Tower proper as he had originally thought, but in a completely different set of buildings out to ...

Re: Waking [Attn: Bella]

Jun could have sworn that the chair would collapse under the Asha’man; but it didn’t, and he almost wondered if the Power had anything to do with it. He sat back down and told Gareth what he had seen. “He woke up a few hours ago. And he ate about half of the soup.” Jun gestured to the bowl by the be...

Re: The Cat in the Crate [OPEN]

Jun’s heart had already puddled, but when Amaranie smiled, he swore that it re-formed just beat erratically, and then melt again. He already thought that she was attractive, and plus the way she touched the kitten, so gentle and tender, was just so, so adorable. And her laugh brought a bright sparkl...

Re: The Cat in the Crate [OPEN]

Oops, had he interrupted the Accepted in the middle of an errand? Of course he had - it wouldn’t make sense for her to be fetching a tray otherwise. He watched with a hint of envy as Amaranie pawned the task off to someone else. If only he could shrug off his own chores as easily... Then Jun noticed...

Re: The Singer and the Dreamer [Attn: Kalyan]

Jun looked around with stars in his eyes. “Wow,” he said. “It’s so pretty.” Looking in from the outside, he would have never expected the walls of the Tower to enclose such a beautiful, serene space. In contrast to the straight lines of smooth, carved stone, the plants in the garden twisted and turn...
