“Wouldn’t exactly call me a murder, poor as fuck maybe but not a murder.”

“Yes I can tell.” The girl said as she reached into her pouch to pull out and apple. “Here.” She says offering it to the girl. “I don’t think I caught your name.”

[kcevers-blog]

“Does it really matter,” she replied with a stern look and a shrug of her shoulders. “I’m not getting in anyway, just like you said.”

[asheisababy-blog]

“Kind of. Considering if you were trying to sneak in to kill my King, well then we will have a problem.” It was a small joke, with a serious tone to it.

“I do have a certain charm,” she replied with a sarcastic bite to her words. Vee, given the number she had behind her ear in the spade symbol, wore semi-tattered clothing with fingerless gloves and was fairly thin for a girl of her age. She should be a lot more filled out but her cheeks were a little hallowed and her eyes sunk a little bit from the lack of food.

“We are immune to charm.” She said flashing her a smile. “I mean you’re not the first girl to come with a pretty face to ask to get in those front doors” The girl crossed her arm over her chest. “What are you doing here anyways?”

[kcevers-blog]

Vee cocked her head for a moment before she looked back to the palace and then looked back up to the guard. “You’d allow me through the front door without question?”

[asheisababy-blog]

The girl chuckled. “I don’t handle the front doors, you can take that up with those guards.” Her eyes glanced over her. “Though I don’t think you’d make it through the front, I mean if you want my honest opinion.”

[kcevers-blog]

“I wouldn’t exactly call this close but hey, that’s your opinion.” She shook her head for a moment, not realizing who was behind her and then turned around. The older woman had a little bit of height on her so she had to look up and squint in the sunlight. “Sh– I didn’t realize who you were.”

[asheisababy-blog]

“A guard?” She finished her sentence for her as she dropped her hand, knowing the girl was no treat, at least not at the moment. Civilians aren’t suppose to be around this area. If you are here to see someone in the palace there is a front door.” She said arching her eyebrow.

[asheisababy-blog]

She was patrolling the outer walls of the palace. Not much ever went on on patrol and honestly it was the worst job to have, but she and to start somewhere so she sucked it up and tried to keep on a straight face. Turning the corner she noticed someone, eyes locking in she walked over slow her hands on the handle of her sword she she did. “A little close to the place aren’t we?”

     “You’re better off figuring that out on your own, G. This place’s fenced up ten feet. Once you’re in, there’s no way out.” He’d have to be dead to share his trade route. It’s the only thing keeping him from completely losing his mind in this place.

[asheisababy-blog]

“This place keeps getting better and better.” She mutters wrapping her arm around herself. “So this is it hu? The place where they dump useless street kids.”

[theericabryant-blog]

“That’s actually not what I was aiming for there, but I’m certainly not complaining.”

[asheisababy-blog]

His lip curls into a devilish grin. “So how is the water?” He said crossing his arm over his bare chest.

[theericabryant-blog]

“I’m assuming that means this place wasn’t a choice for you.”

[asheisababy-blog]

“Was it for anybody?” She asked arching her eyebrow.

[theericabryant-blog]

“And yet here you are. What’s the point of hanging around here if not to swim, exactly?”

[asheisababy-blog]

“I think you just want to see me shirt. I mean you could have just asked.”

[theericabryant-blog]

“So does everything else in this place.”

[asheisababy-blog]

“Don’t remind me. This place gets worst the longer i’m here.”

[borderliine2-blog]

     “Daniel. Danny boy. Whatever you want. What about you, homegirl?”

[asheisababy-blog]

“Pierce. Just Pierce nothing else. So Danny boy, you going to tell a girl they way out of here? Or am I going to have to figure that out all on my own.”

[borderliine2-blog]

     Daniel laughs an honest laugh, nearly taking himself by surprise. “I thought maybe we could be a little less barbaric, but okay, Mr. Man, if you insist.” Daniel takes the other bottle of the same label off the shelf and repeats the same uncapping ritual. “Aw, homedog, we’re gettin’ to know each other! So priceless. Aight, man, I’ll give it a shot, but I can’t say it’s gonna be concise or shit. Uh…crud. I was born in Minnesota, lived there for most of my life. My fam was kinda garbage. I had a lot of crappy friends, especially right before I came here. My last gang got me hooked on nic. I want to probe people’s brains for a living. My favorite food is Italian. Anything else you wanna know?”

[asheisababy-blog]

“Considering the way we are force to live, I wouldn’t count us out as barbaric, would you?” A slight smirk hints crosses his face in amused by his companion.  Bring the bottle to his lips he listens as the male quickly goes through his life, or at least the parts he would share. “You forgot your shoe size.” He says after a moment a small joke. “Friends are always shit, always wanting something from you. It’s better to avoid having friends all together.”

[borderliine2-blog]

      “Am I supposed to have understood what you just said?”

[asheisababy-blog]

“Obviously, I was speaking English.”

[theericabryant-blog]

“What, can’t swim?”

[asheisababy-blog]

“The water looks dirty.”

[theericabryant-blog]

“What, can’t swim?”

[asheisababy-blog]

“I can swim, I just choose not to.”

[borderliine2-blog]

     “You are so full of it. But I’ve got faith in you, homedog,” he teases. Daniel plucks the bottle off the shelf and pops the top off on the edge of a counter, jumping a bit at the ensuing fizz that bubbles up. “Where do you keep your cups, brother? Damn, let me organize this place, please.”

[asheisababy-blog]

“Cups?” He laughed as if it were a joke. “What you to good to just drink from the bottle?” Xavier stands up and walks to the male taking the bottle from his hand and taking a swing. “You know i don’t know shit about you, so start talking.”
