| she's on the outskirts when it starts to rain. mist, really, a spatter of fog that manages to soak her by the time she's back in irkalla. it doesn't manage to get the bloodstains out. shakti runs at an easy loping pace, hair slicked to her back, sword jumping in its scabbard with her swinging hips. she doesn't mind the rain, still running in the euphoria battle. a loss, but she's grown enough not to stamp her feet and yank her hair over it. she's the one who's been left unharmed and a little dirtier. its a steady drip by the time she's under shelter, and the city is still crawling with people, busy people, in spite of the weather. they duck beneath awnings and she has all the space in between to herself. her eyes dart, searching across the crowd. ORFIELthis is such shite.... haha.... sorry.... |

down the forsaken road... | he spends most of his days in irkalla, making a living completing odd tasks for the citizens. any time he's not here he's in new town or the centerspines. he doesn't work because it would make him unavailable to do what he wishes with his free time. his "free time" mostly consists of him marking up maps and graphing good coordinates for them to camp out. on rainy days he chooses to go out-- as odd as it seems, the isolation from others under umbrellas or in heavy rain jackets is enjoyable. he comes in from the centerspines fast-- running along the cliffs. the only sounds he hears, howling wind and thumping boots, slowly come to a stop as the area becomes more populated; he slows. rain trickles down along his spine, falling under his thin clothing. a shiver runs down his spine, and he tries to find shelter under a few trees lining the path. he continues walking alongside the crowd, keeping to the edges. he is different than they are. a crowd is not made up of individuals, he thinks. this crowd doesn't do any harm, but in the end it does no good either. they walk to and from their work and provide for themselves and (sometimes) their families. so they don't exist. impressions are all we have- and good or bad, they are the only things that last. changes-- how you've sculpted the clay of the world. he carefully navigates the streets, trying to keep under (rare, on cliffsides like irkalla) foliage.

| shakti wipes at her face but the back of her arm is just as slick and wet. absently, she's wringing out her hair, lifting it off her neck and holding it in a twist, all angles in her raised chin and sharp elbows. as if standing on the edge of stream looking for something juicy to paw at; she tenses like a pouncing cat, coiled back on its haunches, her eyes flickering, finding a person rushing past to follow before jumping back to the start. finally, she finds who she's looking for. her hair tumbles down her back as she finally slips into the crowd. her heart is still racing, like a pink-cheeked child weaving against the crowd until she's close enough to take a handful of his shirt with a gentle tug. "found you." to pull herself closer, to fall into stride with him, grinning. "one of us got lost."ORFIEL |

down the forsaken road... | orfiel can remember shara doused in rain. water was delicate. gentle taps on the rooftops. lingering drops hanging off flowering buds. water was a sight to behold. he saw beauty in rain and clouds and thunder. now he sees danger. wet clothes means cold. wet clothes mean slower movement, and puddles mean sound. slower movement, sound, scent...they can all cost a life. orfiel does not see beauty in rain and clouds and thunder, only death. (perhaps death blinds him in more ways than one.) his ears are a convincing scarlet color. raindrops on your face can often leave a chilly sting. orfiel pulls his hood up but feels one too many tugs on his clothing. he turns, hands assuming their place in casting position-- but it's only shakti. orfiel's shoulders relax. "it's you." orfiel looks at the far-off peaks of the centerspines. "good job." his smile is crooked and hesitant, but there nonetheless. SHAKTI |

| orfiel is the one to draw the maps and set the targets; shakti finds them from the ground. she is not an intellectual she is not a theorist, she does what must be done. she follows his eyes to the mountains, the fat clouds brushing their points. "we didn't make it back before the rain." she says, nose wrinkled. that isn't the most disappointing thing, of course. as her body winds down from the rush, her skin rises in gooseflesh, her muscles tense. "let's get dry."ORFIEL |

down the forsaken road... | "yeah," orfiel mumbles, motioning for her to follow. "there's a house only a little ways from here."he begins to walk. "you've heard about the emperor of shara, right?" he says, hushed. SHAKTI(this is really short but nothing was coming to me srry boo :( ) |

| a little ways - imprecise and satisfying, she nods. there is only so long before the cold and the wetness is suddenly heavy, weighted and sorrowful, at orfiel's words. not sorrow for what's happened, sorrow for what's to come. shakti doesn't preoccupy herself with borders and politics, but she'd be fool to ignore them now. she nods. "they're going to retaliate." she bites her lip. "are you going to stay?"ORFIEL |

down the forsaken road... | "stay?" orfiel repeats. "here?" he raises his eyebrows, but doesn't look her in the eye. "heck no.""but that's not the point. i was there afterwards. i was coming from the centerspines and hadn't crossed the river yet." he leads her through alleyways and puddles and up the shaky steps of an apartment. secluded, quiet, but old-- orfiel's living conditions. "i found something." he unlocks the door. SHAKTI |
