Taking both of Vivās arms in hand, Rowan began moving them up and down. A lame attempt at trying to sooth her. She was shaking and the fear in her eyes was clear. This was one of the main reason he didnāt want to tell her. Didnāt want to burden her with the knowleage that S was indeed back and probably never left.
ā I mean, there was only so many places she could go.ā he teased. Tucking a few strands of hair behind Vivās ear.
Rowan sat now, so that his legs hung over the edge of the cot, causing their knees to bumped into each other. He continued to stroke her arms gently. Not sure which questions to answer first. He didnāt think the goal was to hurt him, not physically anyway. But that didnāt mean she wouldnāt try in some shape or form. However, he wasnāt really concerned about his own well fair. Rowan had places to go that would be safe for him and his guild. His concern was aimed towards Viv, Mars and Ares.
āThe last place my informant saw her was on floor 1 in an abandoned house. It looked as though shes been living there for a while. When I arrived, I told her I wanted to talk but she⦠snuck out before we could have that conversation.Ā Havenāt seen her since then but Iāve got people on the look out for her.āĀ
S was the type of person that if she didnāt want to be found you wouldnāt be able to find her. No matter how hard you looked. Rowan knew how lucky heād been to get a hit on her at all. All he could do now was hope they would get lucky again.Ā āIām not sure what she knows or doesnāt know at this point. Right now, shes in the wind. If and when she show up is anyones guess.ā
Running a hand through his hair, he let out a huff.Ā āMy main concern is you and the others. Do you have someplace safe to stay? Protective runes, buffs? Iām sure I could ask one of my guys to help if you need it. You tell me what you want to do Viv, and weāll do it.ā
āShut up.ā she scoffed. Swatting at his chest. Despite the fear that ran through her. Viv did feel a little better with Ro there. The big softy; who would have thought someone that looked like he could kill you with his bare hands. Could be one of the gentlest people she ever known. The mind reels at the thought of a world with out him in it.
ReleasingĀ a long tired breath, she shook her head.
āAll my places are protected. Runes, buffs, enchantments. Iām good on that end. I... I donāt know Ro I donāt know what I want to do.ā voice low, exhaustion coating each syllable.
It was a lot to take in, and she was sure it would be a lot more. Maybe she could ask JalĀ for some help. They were the best at getting information, maybe if she asked them to keep an eye outā Viv shook her head at the thought she didnāt want S anywhere near Jal or Rae. She didnāt want her near anyone she cared about. In the back of her mind, Viv knew who S was really after.
āRowan,ā she called out to him. placing her small hand over one of his; currently rubbing her arms. She could feel the familar sting to her eyes as tears began to well up.
ā It canāt be like before, you canāt just up and leave like you did.ā
Her voice shaky as tears flowed freely down her cheeks. Not bothering to wipe them away.
āYou have to promise that you wonāt. Whatever happends, you canāt just abandon us again. No matter what S says or threatens. Donāt, okay?ā she hiccuped.
Ā Above and beyond upset at the thought of what this meant. Change was in the air and it wasnāt the good kind. For the first time, since she started this game; Viv was truly terrified.
