Distant Echo [Jax|Niner]
crusade-squad:
Jax groaned, his voice slightly muffled through the thick snow. “E-Edger?” he asked, voice raspy. He tried to reach a shaking hand out in front of him. “W-What happened…” The cold almost prevented him from coming out with his question. “W-Who’s th-th…”
It was a brother. Another clone.
Quickly brushing the snow off the clone trooper's armour, Niner scooped the smaller man into his arms. He stood with grace as his T-slit visor eerily pierced through the night, reflecting off the crashing snowflakes and illuminating his rescue victim's body. "It's okay, ner vod," Niner grunted as he tried to trudge his way back to camp. "You're with a brother."
The man felt like ice in his arms as the commando tried his best to shield him from the wind.
