    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

    ridiculous

    do you think I’m funny?

    Now that he was standing away from her, he could see that she was a tiny little thing, and that made him feel even worse. She says “it’s okay,” twice, but it does nothing to make him feel any better. Perhaps if he’d known that she could feel every ounce of his embarrassment and shame, he might have forced himself to feel a bit better about it just to make her feel better, but nope, that isn’t the case. So he continues to feel completely ashamed.


    She says “we’re okay,” and that seems to calm him down ever so slightly, but the embarrassment is still there. Even though she had already said that “we” are okay, which clearly includes herself, he still asks, "are you okay?" He sputters out.


    He shifts uncomfortably from hoof to hoof, almost dancing, weaving his head back and forth. But he is not good at dancing. In fact, he is clumsier than a drunk skunk. So when his legs accidentally cross over each other, he manages to lock them up and trips himself so he falls flat on his long face. His weight hits the ground with a loud crash and the ground shakes ever so slightly beneath her hooves.


    He scrambles back to his hooves, and once again, his embarrassment and shame is back in full force. He tries to laugh, but the sound has the high frequency that usually only girls could achieve, and sounds almost like a yelp. "Haha! Haha! Did you see that? I’m so clumsy."
