LAWT #12 ~ Sincere [Faking Pt.2]
Alex let the door to the bar close behind him as he stopped to survey the crowd. It was markedly busier than last time, but the atmosphere was still rather low energy and calm. It made sense enough, for an early Friday evening, he figured. Being in...
LAWT #11 ~ Pursuit
The artificial lighting of the stairwell gave way to the sun-lit lobby as Lorrie ascended from the underground platform. The high windows of the train station allowed the room to bathe in the natural warmth of...
LAWT #9 ~ Tail Tricks
"Heyo." Alex announced himself, half-heartedly, as he entered the room. He'd just come off his workday and found his friends having a quiet chat at the kitchen table. Lorrie gave him a little wave while, at...
LLST #9 ~ Fragrance
Far along Val'En's merchant street, Mela casually wandered the shops and stalls, glancing over the displays. A result of joining the Union, the street served wants more so than needs. That made it a great...
LLST #8 ~ Hot Shot
A crowd gathered to one side of the grassy clearing, eagerly anticipating the show with excited murmurs. Looking over all the faces, Emaatet couldn't help a satisfied smirk. _Excellent_, she thought. The wolf...

LAWT #8 ~ Engage [Encounter Pt.2]
Alex stared out the window, idly fidgeting with a polished stone and watching the traffic kick up clouds of mist on the wet street. The drizzle outside made a dull patter on the roof, smoothing over the...
LAWT #7 ~ Faking
Lorrie made her way into the bar, umbrella hooked on her arm as she traded the white noise of rain for the low roar of conversation. It looked like a calm night; not empty, but still enough space for everyone to be comfortably spread out. She easily...
NM #13 ~ Window
Niv lay still, eyes closed and doing his best to deny consciousness. He eventually stretched and oriented himself, finally accepting he'd be unable to recapture that blissful oblivion of sleep. He was alone, and no light peeked through the curtains,...
NM #12 ~ Breakfast
Niv awoke gradually, shifting and stretching into a more comfortable position. He spread a bit wide and felt his foot brush along Mela's leg, rousing her to a similar action. Lying flat on his stomach, left side of his face smushed into the pillow, he...
