Following blindly through the trees. Outside the mountain.

Penny was in the forest, running a hand through her hair as she walked through. She always enjoyed the woodsy area that surrounded her. The girl bent down to rub her fingers along the plant and then bringing it to her nose. Rosemary. “This could be good for some tea,” Penelope muttered to herself as she crouched down towards the plant, going to dig into her small pouch to reveal a small knife. She cut off the first two inches of the sprig, careful not to maim the plant. As she picked up the plant, placing it gently into her bag, the girl heard a crunch behind her. Penny forgot about the rosemary in front of her and her instincts took over, holding out her knife to ward off any predators. It may have been a small one, but the girl knew how to use it. 

Steven was anxious, they hadn’t heard back from any of the other Ark stations and as much as he tried to hide it, he was worried about his dad. He had to leave camp, even if it was just for a little bit before he had to turn back. He’s been close to their old camp, the dropship, and he thought he wandered a little too far, he was going to turn back when he saw a person kneeling on the ground. For a second he thought it might be someone he knew, once she turned and pointed the knife at him, he quickly realized that it wasn’t. He put his hands up, showing he wasn’t a threat. “I- Uh, I didn’t mean to interrupt you.”

“What? The only thing I’m saying is-” he started, before furrowing him eyebrows, “Dammit, what was I saying?”

“Something about puppies? I wasn’t sure you were talking to me or just yourself.” he said, rolling his eyes.

“I’m going to trust you to keep that promise.” Apollo said with a slight laugh. At this point, she was pretty sure she could trust him. Maybe she was just being overly cautious, nothing that awful had happened recently and deep down she was dying for an adventure. “Wait… did you just say miles!? My short legs can only carry me so far…”

“Don’t worry, we can take breaks.” he said, “Worse comes to worst, I’ll give you a piggy back ride.” he offered, walking around one of the large trees. “You’re Apollo, right?” he was fairly sure it was her name, he’d been her before but he was pretty sure this was their first proper conversation.

“Oh no no no… we don’t have to head back!” Apollo insisted in the nicest way she could. She wasn’t really one for decision making or confrontation anyway. And besides, the company was nice. “I was only asking because I’m really nervous to get lost… on the Ark everything was much more… organized…” She trailed off. 

“I won’t disagree but, out here there’s no limits,” he said, smiling brightly, “I promise I won’t get us lost.” he said, double checking that they were going the right direction. Steven liked walking, even with the dangers around him-- he could breath and with the truce in process he felt more at ease than usual. “We’re not too far, just a couple more miles.”

“Just a little,” he said, slowing his pace. They were far enough from camp that no one was near them now, “Kane asked me to find a place- it’s hidden a few miles east of here and it’s supposed to have supplies.” he said, he’d been one of the top students in his class for Earth Skills so they sent him out to scout it out.

Apollo nodded her head at the boy. “That sounds like it would be hard to find. You know what you’re doing, right?” She had never really spoken to him before, just seen him in passing. For all she knew, he could be just as lost as she was. But, she had a feeling he knew what he was doing.

"I aced Earth Skills back on the Ark so yeah- I'm as sure as I can be, plus the map Bellamy drew helps-" he started before looking apologetic, "We can head back if you want- I just figured because I heard you were nice and you didn't look that busy, that you wouldn't mind coming. " He rambled.

“Just a quick question, where are we going? I mean if you don’t want to tell me that’s ok, but I’d really like to know. I’m not just going to follow you blindly.” Apollo looked up at the face of the other person. “I’m talking too much, aren’t I?” The blonde said quietly before proceeding to walk faster, catching up with the person leading her.

“Just a little,” he said, slowing his pace. They were far enough from camp that no one was near them now, “Kane asked me to find a place- it’s hidden a few miles east of here and it’s supposed to have supplies.” he said, he’d been one of the top students in his class for Earth Skills so they sent him out to scout it out.

Tomac nodded at his role and smirked slightly. “You don’t look like a fighter.” he teased and nibbled on some berries. “Not bad though, you play an important role.” he smiled softly. “You good at tracking prey?” he asked curiously.

Steven scoffed, “I can fight, I can fight really well.” he lied, “I’m pretty good, I was top of my class in Earth Skills.” he informed, “Didn’t seem important then, who would’ve thought.”

“A lot of people in our clans are picking it up, it’s easier and especially now that you are down here.” Tomac explained and packed up more of his items before beginning to eat some food he brought along. “I am, born and raised. My father and his father before him were warriors. It’s in my blood.” he explained. “…You’re a bit tiny to be a warrior.. what do you do?” he asked.

Steven thought before he answered, thinking back on the time when they first came out, “Uh- Hunter, Gatherer? I collected the food, went on the hunting parties. I don’t- I don’t like to fight, I only did when we had to.” he admitted, feeling less nervous than he did originally.

tomacx:

“That’s interesting.. Warriors here speak mostly the native English..It helps us if there are people talking and we need to intercept messages. My language, Trigedasleng, is a mix of English and other languages, not quite sure what it’s mixed with. I never took the time to ask my elders.” he shrugged.

“Trigedasleng.” he said, trying the foreign word out, “I thought everyone knew English- I guess it makes sense only to teach warriors, to not make a panic.” he said, nodding his head. “You’re a warrior then?” he asked, he assumed he was, he was thankful now that the adults came down he didn’t have to be a child warrior, he wasn’t that good at it anyway.

“I think you would have killed me by now if you wanted to.” Tomac chuckled but nodded, turning his head back to Steven. “Yes, in my native language that is what we call your people.” he explained.

“I used to study languages- when we were back on the Ark, your language is pretty unique, I don’t know what it’s a cross of.” he said, he’d only heard the language a few times in his defense but it had to be rooted to something. Obviously English but what else?

tomacx:

Tomac observed the boy, noticing he was a bit nervous. He got that vibe whenever he was around a sky person, they were obvious and could be picked from a crowd. “Tomac, i’m from the ice nation. I’m assuming your Skaikru?” he asked, turning his head. “Sorry.. Sky person?” he translated.

“Yes, I’m not- I don’t mean any trouble or anything.” he said, putting the top back on his water, “Skaikru? That means Sky Person?”

Tomac lifted his head and smiled softly. “Not a problem. As long as you don’t shoot me.” he teased, continuing to clean his blade.

Steven nodded, walking a little higher upstream to fill up his canteen, he found himself having to escape Camp Jaha every day at least for a couple hours. Right now he’d been running an errand for Bellamy, “I won’t-” he said, conscious of the gun tucked in his waist band. They hadn’t let him leave without it- but he couldn’t shoot- no he wouldn’t shoot. He was too much of a pacifist to hurt anyone unless his life was on the line. “I’m Steven,”

tomacx:

“I didn’t realize I was putting on a show..” Tomac breathed, his eyes remaining on his blade as he cleaned it in the river, sensing someone nearby.

Steven came out from behind the tree, holding his empty canteen from his head, “I’m sorry, I just- I wanted to refill.”

“Do you know the difference between poisonous berries and good ones? Because that might help.”

“These are the times where I wish I was raised in Argo instead of Mecha- I don’t know the difference.”

“-You’re as quiet as a horse with a broken leg.”

“I- I wasn’t following or anything I swear, I just got a little off track.”

[lomlsteven-blog]

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 2 days since I’ve been on! I’m really sorry guys my personal life kind of got really crazy but now I’m back and super sorry!!

[lomlsteven-blog]

“I hit Bellamy- I didn’t, it’s not like I meant it- I just” he spluttered, not really wanting to explain, It’s just everyone had been so damn negative and when Bellamy cracked down on him, yelling about how his father was probably dead- he broke. He punched him and the guards took him away and put him in the infirmary for now. “Are you okay? I heard you.”

[themechanicbird]

“You hit Bellamy?” A faint smirk creased her lips, positively surprised by his guts. “Impressive. I gotta give it to ya, Stevie-Boy. Didn’t know you had it in you,” she spoke hoarsely, having lost her voice from all the screaming earlier. Biting her lip, her eyes glanced down herself. “That loud, huh?” she mumbled. “I’m– managing. Just glad the operation was a somewhat success.”

[lomlsteven-blog]

"I didn't know I did either." He admitted, he wasn't a violent person, not unless it was needed to survive. "Well, you're alive and that's big. Uh- not that loud." He said, the white lie slipping out casually. Steven look down at his bound hands and starting tugging on the rope with his teeth. "What the hell, I didn't know the guards were boyscouts too."
