[b]What the hell am I doing?[/b] Ling was sitting down on a line of chairs in the warehouse Hangar thingy the Imperium has, they acted like some crude bed a pillow propped up behind his head. Chloanne was sitting on a chair, legs crossed. They stared at each other, looking at their differences. Ling having more muscle mass upon him and a well trimmed goatee. Chloanne with her red streak in her hair, slightly curvy. Ling sighed and spoke, breaking the calm silence. "Have I told you about Farion, Chloanne? "No you haven't Ling, is something wrong?" He averted his eyes to the ceiling, trying to recall something...Chloanne stared at Ling, with slight worry in her face. What was her brother going to tell her? "You see Chloanne, when we parted ways Farion took me in as an Acolyte after I demonstrated an act of bravery, though I do not recall what it was. It was rather brutal for me, he constantly broke my bones if I slipped up...I think it was meant as a tool. His favorite bone to break was my ring finger, possibly as a sign." He said, lifting up his left hand staring at the ring finger. "I did not know this Ling..why are you telling me?" Chloanne responded, pity in her eyes. "Perhaps I could die very soon..perhaps I can live a full life. I think Farion was warning me indirectly, possibly marriage. Possibly I will die, never bonded in matrimony. This has persisted in my mind for a long while." "Why not tell Macha?" She said, confused. "Because I do not want to worry her anymore than now. She already has to deal with the fact I can die any second or that something worse will happen." Ling lowered his hand and sighed, closing his eyes. "I don't think we're getting off this ship." "Why is that? I'm sure there's some way, we just have to find it!" She said, trying to brighten the mood. "It's a hunch, I mean like we have intelligent species all around the ship and yet nothing found a way to exit." "Don't say that Ling, we'll get off eventually." "Eventually. The question is, how long is eventually?" [spoiler]Closed, I don't feel like replying to alot of people...[/spoiler]
