Part Of The Narrative she/her Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 29 minutes ago, Just-A-Stick said: Ash shut her eyes, falling asleep without her usual trouble. She dreamed she was falling... falling into a deep, dark pit. She landed at the bottom, bones crunching on impact. Ash screamed as the sudden pain flooded through her body. Kaladin’s heart sunk at the sudden scream. It was raw, full of pain, full of panic. He stumbled to his feet and shoved open the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I got permission, for all those who hate "god modding" They walked inside, Kaladin held the door open and Ash darted through, looking a little anxious.

Kaladin had made some progress. He tried to present a reassuring smile. “Welcome back! Looks like I’ve got returning customers again. I have a good spot for you.” He led the pair over to the corner where he had been surveying his establishment. There sat a booth table, which could block its occupants from view depending on where they sat. ”This table, he is very quiet.” @Part Of The Narrative 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
