find the word tag CCXXXX

words taken only from Rain Story (because I opened the doc, might as well) and from my little tumblr shorts (because the I open the doc, also might as well.) word patrons are @spacetimewraithwrites and @diphthongsfordays again :)

smooth

close (rain story supplemental)

I projected, Kyt realized, grasping for his barriers. It laughed while he struggled to close the curtains on his mind. It won’t give you any advantage over us, he said after he realized the eye was laughing at him.

It sounded much more amused than angry now, but Kyt still felt the danger in it. “I already have every advantage. Why should I be wary of one little boy’s shielded mind? You are nothing to me.”

Kyt knew this. But he locked the door anyway, keeping his thoughts to himself.

end (rain story supplemental)

Sardha was angry.

Jemmi knew this because she’d asked her if she wanted to go ribbon hunting and Sardha had said, “no,” with a voice that would choke on its own fevered sound if it ventured to speak further. It wasn’t surprising, given how stupid Jaino had been that morning, but for her anger to last all day and still affect her this much was definitely something that made Jemmi want to sign deference every time they passed each other.

And since they were preparing dinner together, Jemmi ended up signing deference to the vegetables she was cutting several times while Sardha washed rice and could’ve heated up the water with how hard she was glaring at it.

part (rain story d0)

They turned a corner and stopped in front of the oddly-shaped buildings of the mages' wing. It was mostly unoccupied in the present time, but Yendan refused to move to a more populated part of the palace.

"You're bleeding," his guard remarked.

Jaino eyed his arm with disinterest. The cuts were all shallow and thin, but the blood creeping out of each painted his skin macabre. "It's nothing. I'll wash it inside."

dream

stop (rain story d0 - the way they sound like they're 12 here and they're supposed to be around 16 smh)

Jaino came back the next day to see if he could catch the boy again. He found him a few streets over from the previous day, snitching fruit from carts.

"Stop following me." The boy said again, holding his sack of stolen food tightly. "You're gonna get one or both of us in trouble."

"We won't get in trouble. I'll make sure of it."

The boy narrowed his eyes. "You must be a high level aristocrat, huh? That why you're so fascinated by us poor thieves?"

Jaino frowned, unsure of how to answer. "I just never talked with someone like you before."

silver

seek (rain story supplemental)

“Are the peppers cut?” Sardha took them from Jemmi without waiting for a reply. “Go pick sage from the garden.”

Jemmi escaped the room gratefully, seeking refuge among the plants that held no ire and merely presented themselves, bright and tasty, for the picking.

soar fly (riveting revival, 2021)

My hair grows out past my shoulders and caresses the earth. There is so much life to wring out of my wings. I fly closer to the sun and delight in the burning. The wind on my skin bleeds deeper with time. I fall through the cracks when the day turns over. The sky paints itself and me with it.

sorry (rain story d0)

"Look," Darsh said angrily, "I shouldn't have to. That's right. Because ideally, you wouldn't exist and fire magic wouldn't be poisoning this kingdom. But I can't leave, not when I have a chance at stopping things. Don't you get it? This isn't about what we what. This is about what is right. I can't leave you even if I hate you because something good has to come of this, of our meeting. I think maybe something can. You don't get to give up on that just because your conscience is hurting."

Darsh was panting a little after his outburst and Jaino stood there quietly, hurting all over, inside, outside, in his body, in his heart. Darsh was right. He was. And Jaino, he couldn't get anything right, could he? And now he wasn't even willing to try? He owed Darsh - and everyone else in his kingdom - all of his effort.

"I'm sorry," Jaino whispered, the words coming out choked and full of tears that he refused to let fall.

"Don't be sorry. Promise to try."

"I promise."

"Good."

Jaino attempted a smile in Darsh's direction before everything collapsed in on itself and gravity pulled the stars down.

I really do absolutely adore these two boys. I should figure out how their story is going to go and finalize that plot. shout, whisper, speak, protest, grumble. BONUS: exclaim, deadpan. @spacetimewraithwrites tagging you back @novanovelwriting @lend-your-lungs-to-me @writeblrfantasy @writingamongther0ses @enchanted-lightning-aes @writingonesdreams OR ANYBODY or nobody
