Dark Veil 2

[TheCreeperHugz]

"Thanks..." I say quietly, lying down inside the tent. I close my eyes and try to fall asleep.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I decide to sit with James and Aions. "I feel better now."
"So Aions, it's been a strange day, hasn't it." I say with a small chuckle.

 

[Jawile]

"Definitely." I smile faintly, laughing. I clutch my hand harder, looking at the red blotch obviously showing on it. "Kinda liked it still."

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I nod. "Despite my wrist being broken. Yeah, I guess it was kinda fun."
I nod agreeing. "Yeah."

 

[Jawile]

I yawn.
"Booze." I say, looking at James.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

"Yes please." I laugh.
"Count me in."

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

I eventually manage to drift off to sleep, after hearing the others outside talking about getting alcohol out. Unlike usual, I don't dream about anything, everything is just blank.

 

[Jawile]

"Cheers." I clink my bottle against their's, and chug mine down.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I take my shot a sit back a little, resting on my hands.
"Thanks man." I take my shot and stretch my arms, unsure of what to say or do.

 

[Jawile]

I finish my drink and set it down.
"Going to sleep." I say, getting up. "Don't forget to put out the fire when you're coming in." I shoot a glare at James, thinking he would most likely be the one to leave it going.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

"Whatever." I chuckle and take another shot anyway.
"Uh, my face still hurts from earlier." I say and touch my face with one hand.
Oh yeah, Aions' advice from earlier."I'm... Glad that you're okay now." I mutter, and take ahold of her free hand.

 

[Jawile]

As I enter the tent, I notice James talking quite soothingly to Alex. I laugh silently, and open the tent entrance just enough so I can spy without them noticing.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I look away and giggle. "Why are you being so serious?"
"Well, you see..." I run a hand through my blue hair and turn her head to face me. "I know today was all fun and games. And well, I can act like a bit of an idiot at times. But..." I mumble off.
"But?"

 

[Jawile]

I watch.
This is too perfect. I laugh.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

"Alex... I love you." I say, looking at her.
I blush and look away. "You, do?"
"I know, I'm an idiot and always start fights. But, I really do love you."

 

[Jawile]

I smile, and shut the small part of the tent entrance I looked through. I lay down in the tent, smiling because James had taken my advice.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I can't look James in the eyes so I look at the fire. "Well..." Playing with my hair, I build up the courage to look at him. "...I think I love you too..."
I smile at her, pulling her into a kiss.

 

[Jawile]

I fall asleep.
I have dark dreams of cliffs and mountains.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I get up and climb into the tent, as soon as I hit the sheets of my sleeping bag, my face blushes bright red. Why did that just happen?
I stay out drinking shots for several hours, but instead of getting in the tent, I forget about the fire and fall dead asleep on the grass.

 

[Jawile]

I wake up earlier than the others. I see James passed out, and the fire still going. Thank Helix it didn't spread... I'm going to kill James when he wakes up. I put my palm on my forehead, getting another headache. I take off my shirt, and sunbathe on a rock.
