And I’ll get stuff started and take out the characters. Man, I did not expect this to be this hard. Liorah has been here since I started this castle, almost a year ago! *Sad sigh* At least I can still torment her in canon! *Happy sigh*

Liorah

Sahar was still perched on top of the boulder, but as soon as I got close enough she literally jumped off it into my arms. I had seen her yesterday but that didn’t prevent her from hugging me as if we hadn’t met in ten years.

“I’m so glad you’re here,” she said, exuberantly.

I set her down on the rock again, which meant we were almost the same height, instead of me being a head taller.

“I’m happy to see you, not here, but still,” I said, wryly.

Sahar looked around, the coins on the scarf around her hair jingling merrily.

“What’s wrong? I mean, there’s a few green-blooded wolves the size of horses, but they’re all dead.”

“Oh, of course, only that. Oh, happy day,” Acyn said, disgustedly.

He shot me a disdainful look and I rolled my eyes at him.

“You look more of a mess than usual, which is saying something,” he commented. He wasn’t wrong, my long braid had completely frayed and I was covered in dust, blood, and several other unwanted things.

Instead of admitting it, I sniffed and shot him a pointed look.

“Bold words for someone covered to ink up to his elbows.”

Acyn glanced at his hands and realized I was nearly right. He glared at me, then conceded that I’d won this round and grinned.

“You two,” Ferran said, tiredly.

Sahar had spun another circle on her rock, either to admire the swirl of her bright yellow skirt or to examine her surroundings.

“Hello!” she called out, brightly.

Ferran looked up with a frown. She had called it to the other side of the room.

Now I looked carefully, I saw someone standing there in the shadows.

“New, aren’t you?” I asked, rhetorically. I knew he was.

I pushed Lorcan aside with a glare. I could have easily gone around the other side but that would have robbed me of the precious opportunity to annoy the life out of him.

Ferran followed after, without pushing Lorcan.

I shot the man a hurried smile, but I was more interested in the tunnel behind him.

“Hello, hope you’ll be alright here,” I said, distractedly.

“Ferran, come look at this,” I followed up.

He came up beside me and shot me a worried look. He was good at that, most of his looks were worried, in fact. Somehow, mostly when he was around me. Odd.

“Okay, there’s a tunnel. We should be careful and– Liorah!”

I was already halfway down it.

“Are you coming or not?”

“Wait for me!” Sahar called, happily.

Ferran was just in time before the wall closed behind us.

And they woke up and it was all a dream because I’m too lazy to write an actual ending XD

Also, I needed to do that wall slam thing because Sahar was totally going to rush after them. (Real friends don’t let friends do stupid things alone.)

Anyway, now I think Quin can interact with the others!
