MASKTOURN

9:17 PM

Ellie pats the sand carefully out of Ky's feathers as well as she can, a puzzled expression on her face. "It's...kinda nice, huh?" It's not as hot in here- but 'cool' wouldn't be the best thing to describe this place either. It's enough, though. She turns her attention to Gale, now brushing the sand out of their hair. "Auu. At least we're together though- together and- and alive. That's the only good thing outta all this." @Saj | Gale🌪+Carrion🍄 @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

Gale relaxes a bit once they’re out of the sand. They lean into Ellie’s touch as she brushes their hair. “Mm.. yeah it’s not blazing hot at least either.. Do you want help with your wings, Kyr?” @Kip | Ace 🏹 / Ellie 📷 @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

'Mhm. We're alive. That's what matters." Kyrie nodded, and picked some sand out of her own braids. "We'll always have each other." A weak smile passes over her face as Gale offers. "Oh- uhm, yeah, I would appreciate it... I can help you guys with your hair, too, if you want. The sand is so irritating..." @Saj | Gale🌪+Carrion🍄 @Saj | Gale🌪+Carrion🍄

"Aw- much appreciated, Ky," Ellie hums, a faint smile flickering across her face. "Ugh. I hate sand. Can't say I'm really used to this awful heat, or anythin'." "We'll always have each other," she says after a moment, and continues to brush the sand from Gale's hair. They feel warm and alive under her hands. "No matter where we are." @Saj | Gale🌪+Carrion🍄 @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

They return the smile, nodding. “Yeah. We got this, together.“ Gale gives Kyrie a grin, swirling a bit of wind around her fingers. “I could probably try to blow the sand out? Or, y’know, ah.. preen? them? Ha, um, you tell me.” @Kip | Ace 🏹 / Ellie 📷 @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

"Oh- uh, either are good with me." Kyrie smiled. She was interrupted by the sudden announcement. "Oh- I guess... we're attacking the Lifebringer?" @Saj | Gale🌪+Carrion🍄 @Kip | Ace 🏹 / Ellie 📷

Ellie giggles a little as the wind swirls about, leaning against Gale as she watches the two- and listens to the incoming announcement. Oh. From what she gleaned from the announcement, it didn't look like they were going to kill Naiyta or anything. "We are?" it asks, expression still. "Huh." (Bummer. She really wanted to beat its face in.) @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs @Saj | Gale🌪+Carrion🍄

Gale turns to listen, frowning slightly. “Damn I really wanted to give that bastard a piece of my mind.” Not that she fully understood what was going on.. so not like she was gonna say anything. “Well, let’s get cleaned up and ready then, yeah?” @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs @Kip | Ace 🏹 / Ellie 📷

"I just want this all to be over." Kyrie sighed. "If this is how it has to end... I guess I'm okay with that." She nodded. "Yeah. Let's get ready." @Saj | Gale🌪+Carrion🍄 @Kip | Ace 🏹 / Ellie 📷
