Medea nodded her head, moving to cuddle into her friend.

“I’m sure we will. Let’s try to get some sleep, okay?” Medea said.

((Medea Parth continued in Vultures…))

Dani gave him a look, her eyes narrowing a little in a way that silently and sarcastically asked if he was serious. “No, I think I am good.” She said, folding her arms. In truth, she was pretty cold. Probably not helped by how cold it was at the mountain summit, but also by her attire. She was proud...

((Dani Bird continued from A Hot Spring in the Old Town Tonight )) Another day, another trek up this godforsaken mountain. As her muscles ached from all the movement, Dani had to ponder to herself what possessed her to come back this way. It wasn’t to use the hot spring again. After yesterday she qu...

Medea’s smile faded, thoughts swirling in her head as she considered her response. She didn’t wish to deceive June or raise her hopes with empty platitudes. She owed her friend as much honesty as she could afford to give. She knew June was struggling with guilt over actions, and as much as she wishe...

Dani smiled at Jack, giving his knee a squeeze with her free hand. She stood up, taking off her jacket and carefully placing it next to her bag. That jacket was expensive. She didn’t want to damage it accidentally by dropping it to the ground. She looked over to Kaede and gestured to her to come sta...

“She may not,” Medea admitted. “Asking for forgiveness is hard. Giving it, even harder. I'd like to believe that forgiveness can always be given to those who ask for it.” She moved her hand, searching for June’s under the emergency blanket. Once she found it, she grabbed it and squeezed it reassurin...

Medea pondered the questions that were asked of her. She suspected that June was still struggling with guilt over what she had done on the first day. Not that she could blame her friend. If Medea were in her position, she’d probably be absolutely wracked with guilt over hurting someone. She tried to...

“Eh, not really,” Dani replied, giving her friend a shrug. “Just taking time to eat and then go for a swim, I guess.” She looked at Jack, eying him for a moment. She supposed, overall, he was a charming enough guy. Perhaps not the kind of guy she’d normally go out with, but she figured she could do ...

((Medea Parth continued from Daylight )) Another day was coming to a close and they managed to accomplish little if anything. Now they found themselves in some tunnel in the cold of the night. It made her really miss her bed, miss her home. She missed her cat. The poor baby. He must be so confused a...

Dani took one of the candies and popped it into her mouth. Her face cringed a little bit as she ate it, not really caring for the taste of it. She wasn’t going to complain, though, as he had offered and she accepted it. Plus, it wasn’t like she can be picky when it came to food. “My favorite movie?”...

She moved to sit next to him, eating the whole cracker. Feeling the chill of the stone she sat on, she scooted closer to him as she ate a couple more crackers. The close proximity provided little heat, but heat was heat and she was cold. She eyed the water, each passing second making it more invitin...

Medea blinked as the newcomer said he didn’t want to look anymore. She turned her attention to him as he ran off before she could say anything. "Medea, he's right, this is bad news." “Huh- Wait, June, we-” Before she could protest further, her friend began to run pulling her along. Medea s...

Dani couldn’t help but laugh as Jack pulled out a ration bar and a tin of crackers at her joke about being taken to dinner first. It was certainly cute, in a way. It wasn’t like he was going to be able to take her out for some French food. An energy bar and some crackers on an arctic island is proba...

Dani blinked and looked away from the warm, inviting water over to Jack. She raised an eyebrow at him, her lips twitching into a smile as she gave him a look. It wasn’t a look of judgment, questioning the intellect behind the idea. More it being a look of questioning whether or not his question is a...
