    Thread: Trítos (Lake Baikal)
Post: RE: Trítos (Lake Baikal)

She was comfortable in the boat, and Elias’s coat took off the worst of the chill – being as it was almost like being wrapped in a blanket. Only her face and the braid of her black hair spilled out th...

True to her word, she did not spend long getting washed and dressed. A few bites of porridge lined the trepidation in her queasy stomach, and the rest she spooned into a container to take with them. A...

Asha looked down at her hands when he said that about her uncle. It hurt like little trembles on a spiderweb to where she kept that part of herself, and she didn’t follow it to the source of pain. Whe...

His mood was all itchy and abrasive under her skin. The snap made her sigh into her tea, though she didn’t say anything back. The surge of irritation was his not hers, and she was long used to navigat...

“Sure,” Asha laughed. “I can sleep pretty much anywhere. It’s a skill.” She leaned to flick the radio a little quieter now he was back, and watched him from the corner of her eye as he refilled his mu...

Asha slept well. Most of her life had been spent on the road, and she’d long since learned to both sleep anywhere and to take the opportunity while she could. She adored the travelling and exploring w...

The food was good. The comparative cheer of El’s mood made her feel light in turn, as did the fresh scenery and the change of pace. She asked about the local dish when the waitress took their order, a...

Asha loved the traveling despite El’s troubles, though his motion sickness was a unique experience for her. Since there was little she could really do to help, and he was glued to the app on his walle...

“Oh, El. So we’re all going to die. That just means it’s what we do before then that counts. It’s the only thing that counts.” Asha slipped her arm through his, despite the drag of his mood flaring al...

Asha grinned, not really for the words, but for the brief fluttering of humour she felt inside him. A joke? From Elias? But she knew poking at that would only recede him back into his shell. It was...

Asha laughed. “El, I can barely imagine living in a house growing up.” He’d stopped himself, and she noticed, but said nothing to dig at those wounds. She experienced enough of what he felt without...

“A puzzle?” Her head tilted to consider it, amused -- mostly by the unbidden notion of her uncle sat stoically at a table, frowning over a jigsaw. The laughter bubbled out of her as she folded the cur...

“The Kelsie,” she repeated, grinning to herself. But she could feel the lightness of her mood being squashed down. This would likely be difficult for El, whoever his companions for the voyage. Tobias ...

A warm smile bloomed as she caught sight of Tobias, waving effusively to gain attention until they closed the distance. In as much as she relied on El to anchor her in more turbulent waters, she was h...

She’d been prepared for the storm-tossed waves of his reaction, but it swept her back anyway, dizzying in its voracity until she acclimatised. At least she’d warned Tobias beforehand. Her lip caught b...
