Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Uh, yeah. Copper, Silver and Gold make more sense to me though." Katie says, laughing.

 

"Know what you grow up with, heh. Nobody's used to that here, though." Linoa giggles back.

 

"Well, denomination coins make sense to me at least." Katie says, smiling.

 

"Then you'll be fine. First things first; the Witch Coven sells heat resistance charms attuned to the desert." Linoa suggests.

 

"I think I just left my ice charm back at home, actually," Katie says awkwardly, "Aj was sort of hurrying me, and I figured Abigail could keep me safe, but..."

 

"If you have one, then you could pop back and grab it. Aj's gonna be busy chasing me off soon anyways since Abigail thought I trapped her." Linoa sighs. "Anyhow... here's the map. I marked every building here for you. Um... don't let Abigail see it, though."

 

"Why not?" Katie asks.

 

"I still don't want her hurting anybody. She looks like she'd rather kill than... well... leave her claws at the door." Linoa says, sounding deadly serious.

 

"Abigail isn't murderous!" Katie says, sounding slightly scared, "Well...she did try to kill someone who did something terrible to her, but that was in revenge."

 

"She is to me, and the Anubi. If she can stand leaving her claws in the rack, which I proved to you was secure, then she'll be okay, but... she's a wanted criminal for destroying six homes."

 

"I'm sure she didn't mean it!" Katie says, worried.

 

"I can't change them, I'm an outsider here too. I wouldn't worry; Anubi only observe. They have a pact with the drow, in that they will dirty their hands so the Anubi can retain the purity of their holy springs."

 

"Well, Artemis has gotten pretty mad at Abigail for starting forest fires before, so I guess not much has changed?" Katie asks, trying to lighten the mood.

 

Linoa snickers.
"Sometimes you gotta love the troublemakers, eh?"

 

"Abigail's a really nice friend. She's helped me out on a lot of occasions, as I have her." Katie says happily.

 

Linoa nods.
"I respect that. It's just... even if she was my daughter, I would never want her to forget what she did to me..." She says, grumbling at the end.

 

"She didn't want the person who did the terrible thing to her to forget what they did to her either. They have three big scars on their face where Abigail slashed them." Katie says happily.

 

"I don't want to physically hurt her. I want her to remember..."
Katie is showed a grim vision of an angry Linoa, lower jaw melted off along with a horn, half a wing, and a huge chunk of her tail.
"...because I certainly won't forget."

 

"Wow, Abigail's really powerful!" Katie says happily.

 

Linoa rolls her eyes.
"I was unarmed and hoped she could listen to me. I knew who did it, and I was going to tell her. Instead, she did this, and she's damn right to be scared of me for it." She growls. "Maybe I should've let her fall in the water, if this is what I get for saving her..."
