    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    He could hear me.

    Yeah, well.  That thought never crossed my mind.  It probably should have, but of course it didn’t.  This is EXACTLY why I need Haide.  I can’t handle this.  This kind of forethought.  Too much pressure. 

    Can he see me watching him with dark scrutiny and my weird, trademark smile? I stick my tongue out at him, long and elastic like until it touches the ground.  There’s no reaction yet, so maybe he can’t tell here directly in front of him.  I wonder what he tastes like for a hot second before I think the better of it.  Not now, but maybe later?  When my tongue returns to its throne between my luscious, pink lips, I can taste the earthiness of the autumn soil.  It’s bitter and grainy, but oh so real and delicious.  Maybe even a little salty.

    Somewhere something rumbles low. My head turns in either direction as if something stalks us.  Then turns towards my stomach because I can’t remember the last time I ate. But nothing, nada, zilch.

    The noise persists and I feel a strangely foreign but familiar press of consciousness against me.  Could it be?  Had she finally come back from her time off?  I bet she got a tan.  Normally, I’d fight her, but today I welcome the rebellion.  

    Still cloaked, my head tilts sideways curiously, drinking in the strangely dusted gent nearby.  He is alone, and perhaps as equally curious of me as I am of him  He questions the rock’s motives and my large void eyes roll back to look at the trespasser that he speaks of.  I blink a few times before my wonderful attention drifts back to the shiny man.  But I have just the answer.  Or rather, she< does.  

    “He was trying to get me stuck between a rock and a hard place,” I say smoothly.  Which wasn’t untrue, luckily for me, I caught onto it pretty quickly.

    Silent now, I pass loosely to his side and behind him, watching in divine curiosity to see if his eyes follow my movements.  On the opposite side of where I had stood before, I settle in nicely next to a friendly bush.  “So what’re you doin’ out here, Frosty?”
