Written Wonderland

Anya looked at XJ who appeared to be very serious. She shifted her eyes to Dolly who met hers. Dolly seemed to be looking to Anya for answers. It was all so specific, and yet so far-fetched. XJ having emergency plans and somehow convincing a guard... It was confusing until Anya pieced together that ...

"Xavier! Ahlan!" Saryf reveled in the familiarity of the greeting, letting his tone carry a playful and joyful reception. "I hope you don't mind," Saryf said as Xavier slid into the seat, "I took the liberty of ordering some things to start, but feel free to peruse the menu ...

The relaxation of both the bath and the massage proved to be a much needed break for Saryf. Wrapping up the rest of the day felt like a breeze having given his muscles some reprieve. He left early, the rest of his team fully capable to handle what remained of the day's work. Saryf entered The Falcon...

Anya could sense some pensive energy from her friend as she sat down to breakfast. "I've got it," she said quietly. Anya's ears perked toward XJ's direction. She blinked twice in quick succession. Dolly calmly continued to eat what passed for food here. XJ described what it would take to g...

Surely not; they didn't know each other. Right? It was invigorating either way. Saryf relaxed back a bit mo...

Xavier's quiet giggles instilled feelings in Saryf that he was surprised by. He tried to put words to them. Curiosity. Caring. Compassion? Maybe more like a sense of pleasant empathy. Fun. Saryf found himself very grateful to have been caught peeking at this man in particular. He found this exchange...
