    Thread: The Weight of New Bonds
Post: RE: The Weight of New Bonds

So that was easier than she expected. Did this cult just let anyone off the street join up? Seemed like a red flag to Nora. She did allow herself to be escorted aside with as much flexibility as s...

Post: The Weight of New Bonds

She stepped off the tram with a coffee in one hand, the other jammed into the pocket of her long coat. Dark charcoal, cut sharp at the collar, it was formal without being stiff. Beneath it, black jean...

Nora exhaled, long and slow, watching the door close behind Eliot. The air in the safehouse still felt strange like it hadn’t decided whether to settle or break open again. Her fingers flexed at her s...

It made sense. If the Atharim were taking an interest in the Brotherhood, it left her wondering… what did the Brotherhood know that the Atharim didn’t? Did Eliot have a specific concern or was it just...

She didn’t flinch, but her gaze flicked to Claude when he winced, shielding his face. Her instinct screamed to do something, but Eliot had already proven what she suspected, and Claude… Claude had jus...

She'd been rarely in the presence of such things, and to see what could only be explained as god power in front of her, she gasped. Of all the things to expect, in a million years she never would have...

Nora managed a tight, practiced smile as Eliot spoke, attempting to be polite. Her heart was still ticking too fast, but she eased her shoulders a fraction, enough to appear calm. Appearances mattered...

The voice dropped like a knife landing point-down on a cutting board. She hadn’t heard the door. Hadn’t sensed anything. One minute she was elbow-deep in the cabinet looking for that damn bottle of pa...

Nora stared at him, arms still crossed but her fingers now gripping at the fabric of her sleeves like she needed something to hold on to. He said the words. Just a headache, nothing more, no visions, ...

Nora didn’t notice it at first. Not really. Claude had always been quieter than her: thoughtful, reserved, annoyingly capable of absorbing things before reacting. So when he didn’t jump in right away ...

The new Atharim Headquarters was perfectly reconstructed. Nora worked at the one prior to the fire, and nobody had questioned how she survived it. In the time it took for the HQ to reopen, she’d been ...

The moment Claude reminded her of her own words, something shifted in her expression. The anger faded first, chased quickly by shame, and then—reluctantly—by something softer. Concession. He was right...

She slipped outside like she was breaking out of a cage. The cold hit her first, sharp and bracing, but it was nothing compared to the heat still coiled in her chest. She grabbed Claude’s sleeve, p...

Nora needed to leave. Badly. She could feel the cracks forming: her carefully constructed walls starting to give way under Claude’s gaze. One more moment of that genuine, knowing look and she’d spill ...

Look, I'm totally fine. But you shouldn't come to Moscow. Ask for placement elsewhere. Moscow is far too dangerous.
