#About Adelena

[cadrenebula]

YAY I can ask about your amazing characters! Thanks for reblogging to remind me to ask you some! :D You're amazing and I love all your characters! So whichever ones you want to answer for:

Do they wear jumpers (sweaters)? If so do they fit perfectly or are they baggy?

Do they have a favourite hot drink? Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate? Hot cider? If so, how do they take it?

It's cold and wet outside, your OC has just come in the front door. What do they do to get warm?

What's your OC's idea of a cozy night in?

Popping this below a read more since it got long in answering these. :D

1. Do they wear jumpers (sweaters)? If so do they fit perfectly or are they baggy?

While most of Aryn's clothes tend to be form fitting to show off his dancer's physique, he'd definitely be putting on a nice fluffy oversized sweater. He may have even taken one of his Nonna's since Fen is definitely bigger than him. (Though he'd definitely ask first if it was okay to take it.) He definitely has at least one (maybe more) sweaters knitted by his sister, Ely.

Alex isn't a big fan of sweaters. He would definitely not wear an oversized one for fear it would get in his way if something came up and he needed to fight. But he was also born in Ishgard so the could doesn't bother him as much. Especially now that he lives along the ocean with his wife. The cold there is much more tolerable so he doesn't often need sweaters. Plus he has a jacket he really likes and is fitted for hidden throwing knives and a extra set of daggers.

Asher doesn't really own any sweaters. Not that he doesn't want any. He would probably own at least one warm fluffy sweater if he gave it some thought. But he doesn't often put much thought into clothes other than making sure he has some clean ones that aren't full of holes. Especially with how often he gets dirty doing mechanic work for the group or his own things.

2. Do they have a favourite hot drink? Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate? Hot cider? If so, how do they take it?

Stefan practically lives off coffee. His coffee intake increased during the whole Necromancer incident and it's surprising he doesn't have coffee for blood at this point. Though he will drink tea on occasion too. But for the most part he prefers black coffee, no cream or sugar.

Nebula much prefers hot tea. Mostly for drinking though they can easily use the tea for other purposes, such as tea leaf readings. They prefer a nice hot chai with a bit of cream and sugar.

Alfa is definitely a cider drinker. It's definitely better hot than cold. Sometimes with a splash of something alcoholic. But he doesn't spike his cider too often. Kino would give him an earful if he did.

3. It's cold and wet outside, your OC has just come in the front door. What do they do to get warm?

Destiney would get out of any damp/wet clothes before heading for the bed where Syl keeps the really nice fur blanket he made. She'd bundle herself up in it before finding her husband to snuggle up to. She loves when he brings out the nice fur blanket for the cold months.

Valen would definitely be stripping and taking a nice hot bath or shower. Depending on which he has more time for. Shower if he's in a hurry or a bath if he has time. Once he's clean and dry, then comes a nice cup of something warm to drink like tea or hot chocolate. Which depends on what he has on hand. Traveling so often he doesn't always remember which he has in stock.

4. What's your OC's idea of a cozy night in?

Ronove would definitely have to go with snacks and cuddles with Ely. She'd probably be knitting with him snuggled up beside her with his snacks and probably some nice chai tea she made. He likes listening to the clack of her knitting needles. He's tried it himself but he's still very much a novice at it. He'd rather sit beside her while she knits instead. It's more soothing.

A cozy night for her is time spent with her Siren sisters. Usually drinking and playing cards. Though she doesn't drink as much as her sisters. Just being with her sisters is comforting to her.

To Lance, a cozy night in is time spent with either Kyna or with Tara's family. His brother can't often get away to spend cozy nights with him. But he does dote on Tara's niece and nephew. He'd settle down and read them stories or play games with them. Or if Kyna would like, they'd have a quiet night in his room curled up together in front of the fireplace with hot chocolate.

Thanks for the asks! @pinxli

[thermodynamic-comedian]

please tell me about adelena if you want to tell about adelena I am interested in hearing about it :)

yay :3

ok so first of all. both of their names fit together perfectly which is great. dekelley and adelena.

second of all i am convinced dekker's gonna show up in tmagp in some way. please i need it. if he gets a speaking role i'm gonna freak out /pos

third of all i think the dynamic would be kind of crazy. i mean, adelard knows more about the extinction than anyone, he was the first to theorize about it, meanwhile lena knows about its manifestations and works closely with them, but it seems like she doesn't actually know about the fears themselves. i feel like they could both get a lot out of just one interaction with each other. i also feel like lena would be genuinely interested in hearing about the extinction, and i get a kick out of imagining lena being like "hmm...tell me more about your theory." and dekker just goes "oh fuck yes i've been waiting for this" and pulls out a massive folder of notes and statements. they're both so autistic. to me.

#i also get a kick out of imagining adelard desperately trying to flirt but lena keeps missing every single hint #so eventually he's just like ok. do you want to fuck. and she's like yes obviously why didn't you just ask #tmagp #the magnus protocol #adelena #adelard dekker #lena kelley

The letter

“ I write this with the promise and guarantee this will fall into your hands, and your hands alone. He has a mage, who could promise this. Currently, in the middle of a storm, I write to you in the middle of the night. As I write, I can feel his eyes over my shoulder. I have somehow made it to Snow Mystic, and I .. am in so much trouble. Mother…”

There was a tear stain, after the the last sentence, as she dabbed her ink and continued.

“ I have been unable to tell anyone.. anything. Everything I say, or do is questioned and dissected, and then used against me. I’ve been called emotional, irrational, and stupid. But, as I write this letter; I should inform you, it was Caspian who believed I have been running for too long, and it was time I write home. He is a very strange man, on his shell he is cruel and mean. But behind closed doors, he is kind and considerate. I’ve never seen a man, like this. In order to gain my freedom to roam, Caspian gave me one condition; to write to you and tell you everything. I think I am long pass regretting my decisions to accept Miguel invitation and visit Paraiso. I didn’t really understand how much you, Maya and everyone was keeping me safe and shelter. I think I will carry this decision with me, for the rest of my life. If I hadn’t have left, none of this would have ever happened. I suppose.. I should start with the everything and the beginning. Miguel invitation and death turned into a roller coaster of emotions and trials. It lead me to unthinkable situations. Like Adelena Conan running away from her home, being forced to marry a French nobleman and then helping her flee such a marriage. I can promise you, the state I found her in.. continues to strengthen my belief that marriage may not ever be for me. I’ve been told, this Frenchmen is still on the hunt for her. I buried my knowledge of her and information to anyone who passes I simply say, we exchange letters and nothing more. 

I was a lead a fool, believing Vergil wanted a relationship with me. Believing, that I could step into my father shoes. I was running, when I could barely walk. He brought me to my mothers grave site and showed me Paraiso. I f e l t important, needed. But I was blinded by my ego, and my desire have a purpose there and I agreed to things I could never take back .. I woke to find myself a queen and witnessed the cost of it, civilian lives. While I was in Paraiso , so I was visited by many people first by this prince from Rovan, who promise to faithfully stay by my side, and yet he ran as soon as the first sign of trouble came . I was introduced to Michael Blackwood, who easily notice my inexperience and naïve nature, and offered me a chance to leave that he would walk with me in his home. I refused him.. I shouldn’t have.”

She dibbed into a different color ink and continued “ but the worst betrayal of all was my handmade Imelda, who I had shared my secrets with, and told my plans. I convinced myself , I am too young, inexperienced, I know nothing about ruling, and I told only IMELDA. I arrived at the Capitol to meet Ulisis to surrender myself for my crimes and everything I have done only to find Imelda and Vergil were there to do the complete opposite .  it.. get worse. …”

She looked over her shoulder to see Caspian was asleep as she continued. “ Vergil openly attacked Ulisis and revealed to me the guard who had protected Estefania sister, was known other than Edward. My brother is alive, and I hesitated and I panic. I forgot all of my teaching, and j cracked. I would not be writing this letter today, if it weren’t for a young woman named Samira. She risked her life, and something personal, something I told Edward I would never speak again about, to save our lives. I know as you are reading this, there are some gaps, some questions. But, It took many weeks to recover, and Edward and I opened a letter from my ma, while he were together he wrote to me before she denied. She had left me a small home, and a place I could rest my head. But, when I arrived, I was sentenced to the towers, Caspian learned of my tales, and exactly what happened in Paraiso. He keep me out of sight , and warmed me the implications he could face for harboring a fugitive . I was there for almost three months before he let me out, and informed me his wife had passed, and he needed a companion. Someone to stand pretty next to him at a ball, that is where I am heading now.

I should warn you, while he as in prison, a man named Charles said he had plans for me. I think they are attempting to make me Caspian next wife, and I, fear it may be the only thing that keeps my head on my shoulders. I really messed up momma, and I know I am passed your forgiveness, but I hope to one day earn your love and affection, and to make your proud. I love you and miss you.

Forever, Your daughter Aurora”

* the letter had been written weeks ago, while. Aurora was onboard to Rovan, and was promised it would fall into Hana hands. The mun only now got the chance to do lol *

“ Dont get involved.”

A voice lifted him up from a dead sleep, it was a warning. His grandfather had purposely ensured his safety by planting him on the isle outside of the kingdom.

“ But.. she’s my sister.” He whispered in the dark. Or.. was this about something, or rather someone else.

Was it about Adelena, he had been thinking about her lately.

Was this about his brother James, he had recently written about his new post and position.

Was it about Yvaine, who was sleeping in the corner.

He then heard the voice again..

“ Trust no one.. and don’t get involved.”

Robert slowly moved to lay back down, something was happening. Something dangerous, as he closed his eyes, and whispered back.

“ .. Edward.” It was only his name, but he hoped the winds could carry it. Robert was afraid, and it was the first time he had ever said his brothers name before. He didn’t expect Edward to do anything, but he hope he sensed his fear, and he would begin to ask questions.

“ We need to talk.. about my mother. She’s unwell, and I’m really scared.”

Lena, had written a letter directly to Caspian, but it was Charles who collected the letter. Ryan was going to want to see his mother again, but with everything going on he didn’t know when.

They were about a day ride away from Hillside, when Charles showed Ryan the letter, seeing it signed Lena

He smiled warmly, his little sister was now grown. He hadn’t had the opportunity to spend time with Adelena or Christopher, his mother forbid it. But it was a warming thought she was trying to contact Caspian.

“ Can you send a message to Riley, ask her if she is nearby, she would be the one who can help her. I’m not exactly sure what the situation is.. “

Ryan did his best to write a small note to Riley, signing it with just his initials.

“ Hello little sister, it pains me to write you. I know I should be long gone, but my children keep me from peace. Something is wrong with Lena, she keeps writing to Caspian about my our mother. I’m not sure how to help, or even the current situation or how things are with Clement. She needs you..”

That would have to be enough, and he knew Riley would be angry he did not write or confirm what had been going on earlier, he thought did she even make it to his funeral. But he trusted the idea she w help Lena. He thought to write to Tristian, but things had always been difficult and hard between them, mainly of Ryan. As he gave Charles the order to send a copy of Lena letter to Tristian, so he could be made aware of the situation, but he was he imagined busy within his own kingdom.

Mormon Country

Today is my last day in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I don’t want to leave. The city is beautiful with its lovely mountain landscape and bright colored tulips springing from the ground. I came at a good time because the weather feels like Spring. In one direction, I see snow covering the mountain tops. In the other direction, I see hues of browns, tans, & greens in the distance. My view from my hotel room made my stay even more pleasant. This was my first time staying at a 4/5 star hotel. I’m glad to have this experience alone because I really got to enjoy the space. Sleeping in a different bed in a new place hits differently. I’m glad I took the opportunity to come out here.

The main reason I came to SLC is to attend my first Anti-Human Trafficking Conference. Since I registered for this conference I kept my mind open because I didn’t know what to expect. For a 2 day conference, the organizers (Freedom Network USA), packed in lots of workshops. When it came to selecting my workshops, I chose ones that the subject matters were little known to me and unfamiliar to the scope of work I do with Adelante. I spoke to a view people, but I mainly moved around on my own (not too much of a big deal). It seemed like the underlying theme was centered around or related to labor trafficking which was refreshing because I think the movement is hyper focused on sex trafficking and other forms of sexual exploitation. First, I regretted signing up for the Young Professionals workshop, but now, I’m glad I didn’t change my mind. I got some helpful information and good insight to how others in my field have encountered similar challenges in the work environment as me, and everyone in the room were in their 20s. However, I feel even more confused thinking about next steps related to my career. Adelante has become a job and not much as a career for me. I’m still passionate working in the anti-trafficking movement, though I wonder if I want to change landscape like doing the same work outside of the health/medical field.

Though the days were long, I was able to explore the city at the end of the day. I visited all things Mormon like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints temple and tabernacle; LSD Conference Center, the Temple’s botanical garden, and the LSD museum (more like walked passed it). I received a few compliments on my prayer sweatshirt. SLC is seen as this overly conservative religious place. Yet, I ended up at a bar called WHY KIKI and attended my first (drag) burlesque show. I enjoyed myself! It was like a mash up between the movie Burlesque and RePaul’s Drag Show. A round of applause for the women & men who performed that night I know I couldn’t go on stage display my body like that. Like the hosts said, “Every body is a Beautiful body”. I walked around some more & walked through the City Creek mall, and spent the rest of my last day exploring Utah’s Hogel Zoo. I was considering visiting the Great Salt Lake, but honestly, I didn’t want to go by myself (maybe next time…).

I have to flight out in the morning. I’m treading it because I have nothing to come home to. I’m going back to a city I’m not too fond of. I’m going back to an apartment where my bedroom is the only piece of me. I’m going back to a job that I have a complicated relationship with. I guess the good news is that after two weeks of being back, I’ll be off again. This time heading South to South Carolina. I can cross off visiting the West Coast. Next time I’ll be on this side again is to visit Adelena and/or Miranda if they are still stationed in California.

Pictures & Videos soon to come…

His words were almost poetic, the way he described himself and how he wished to travel to a place he had never seen before. As she took the letter to her uncle William, to see what he would think of it.

“ my sister praises you, as you two hold a dear friendship. One, I would hope to make someday. I do not wish to cause you any harm or conflict, but I would very much like to visit, although we may be distant kin. I promised my mother Leta I would rise to seek new challenges and see the world. My sister mentioned perhaps, I could visit you Adelena, and your family. I will be traveling alone, my grandfather can not make the voyage. If my visit will cause you any trouble I will continue onwards, my family is currently in Wexford think about it.”

[writingquestionsanswered]

I'm writing a story taking place in an actual bilingual town, there are both Swedish-speaking and Finnish-speaking people there (I'm from Finland). My book is in Finnish. I'm wondering whether I should write the dialogue between the Swedish-speaking characters in Swedish for the sake of authenticity or should I translate it into Finnish for my story is in Finnish. The POV is third-person, so it feels weird to translate.

Characters in Story Speak Different Languages

Ultimately, if your story is being written in Finnish, presumably for Finnish readers, any language that isn’t Finnish needs to be translated for the reader somehow. There are some different possibilities for how to do this...

1) Establish that a character speaks or is speaking the second language but actually write it in the first language.

Adelena could understand Finnish but refused to speak it. She used her native Swedish instead, which fortunately the rest of us understood.

“The store won’t be open that late,” Lars protested, finally joining the conversation. 

Adelena threw her hands up in frustration. “What do you expect us to do about it?” 

There was a pause while we all mentally translated what she said from Swedish to Finnish. I replied first. “We don’t expect you to do anything about it, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t come up with a backup plan.”

2) If you’re using an omniscient narrator, they can translate for the reader.

“The store won’t be open that late,” Lars protested, finally joining the conversation.

“What do you expect us to do about it?” Adelena asked in Swedish.

Len rubbed his forehead in frustration as he mentally translated Adelena’s words from Swedish to Finnish. Finally, he said, “We don’t expect you to do anything about it, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t come up with a backup plan.”

3) You can also use the actual second language and let a character translate for the other characters as well as the reader.

“The store won’t be open that late,” Lars protested, finally joining the conversation.

Adelena threw her hands up in frustration. “[Dialogue in Swedish]”

I was the only one who spoke fluent Swedish, so I had to translate for the others. “She wants to know what we expect her and Aneka to do about it,” then, turning to Adelena, I say, “Which is nothing. We don’t expect you to do anything about it. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t come up with a backup plan.”

(A word of caution with this method: never use another language in your story unless you’re fluent in that language or know someone who is who would be willing to help you. Never rely on Google translate or other online translators as they are often wrong.)

I hope that helps you figure out how it will work best in your story! :)

[cadrenebula]

🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊 have lots! Which means answer as many for as many as you want! I want to hear all the things you want to share! :D

Okay let's see what my brain wants to talk about tonight!

Stefan is terribly awkward and quiet around larger groups of people. (Like more than 4 people usually.) Even more awkward if one of those people is a flirty male or barely dressed male. (Basically someone like Bram or Sahji's one partner, Toshi.) He is half Ishgardian but he was definitely Not raised there. So a lot of the time his awkward and shy behavior is chalked up to this half of his bloodline. Cause he sure as heck isn't that way when it comes to topics he's confident on. He has a sassy gremlin attitude when it comes to anything with magic or lately fighting.

Though currently he's in constant trouble for not eating well. Boy lives on coffee. Ely and Ronove are currently being sly about making him eat better. Sahji made him promise to eat better. He just gets so absorbed in whatever he's doing that he forgets to eat.

Poor Ronove has literally gone from the chaotic demon to the elder brother in his relationship with Stefan. Friend put it as: Older sibling who won't make you not do the stupid thing, but will make sure you do the stupid thing with back up and hold you back from doing monumentally stupid things while you're angry.

Cause Stefan wanted to go fight Tak for something that happened. But Ronove insists if that fight happens, he'll let them fight but drag them apart before they can maim each other.

Also he has decided to retake his old last name from when he was mortal. (Though I'm not paying to change it on game.) Crow (or a variation of) is a last name taken by many of the Troupe when they don't want to associate with the life they had before joining. Many of those who chose that name (including Ronove) definitely have seemed to behave much like the bird they take their last name from. (Clever and Spiteful if you wrong them. An Ronove is definitely pair bonded to Elijah.)

Alfarinn and Kino are often mistaken as a couple but they are very much queer platonic. They do love each other but not romantically. They tried that and it didn't work out of them. Trying to date another tracker like Domi isn't something Alfa is ready for. If he's ever ready for it. Domi's death left a deep wound on him. Which lead to a fight between Alfa and Kino when they had been dating. In the end Kino decided they couldn't date because part of Alfa was only seeing Domi when they looked at him. Kino has stuck around though to help Alfa because they do care about him.

Alfa does however currently have a crush on Tsume. But he's taking things very slow on that after what happened with Kino. So for now he's kept his crush very much under wraps. Thankfully Tsume is more of a warrior type rather than a tracker.

Despite being a sky pirate (an before that a Shroud bandit), Asher doesn't like to see suffering kids. He knows what it's like to be in their shoes, not knowing when or where your next meal might come. His brother did his best for them growing up but not all kids have that option.

Being a sky pirate hasn't made him wealthy by any stretch. But he does share what he can spare with kids when he comes across them. His captain knows this as well. Captain Celie tends to slip a bit of extra food into his bag when he's not looking before he heads out to buy parts in the cities.

Cedrik honestly thinks he's doing good by slaying voidsent. Doesn't think any of them are good in anyway because of an incident when he was a child. (An incident he remembers wrongly because childhood trauma.) He works with his partner to track them down and slay them.

Problem is, he caught hints of one around Aryn. And while he's been sleeping with Aryn cause why not... (An cause the both of them are enjoying the company.) He's starting to do the very thing Marcy told him not to do. He's gotten attached to Aryn rather than just using Aryn to get closer to whatever voidal he's spent time around. So now he has it in his head that Aryn needs protected from whatever voidal has been nearby. As if this won't end badly for him. Especially since two of the voidals lurking about work for the powerful one that is trying to get his claws on Stefan. How is this a problem? Oh only because Ronove and Fenryr will be on that list despite not being evil monster voidals. We'll see if Cedrik can change his beliefs or endanger himself.

Adelena has gotten so very little attention over the years. Some of it due to my lack of connections for her. (Which is mostly my own fault.) An partly because she was a Sanguine Siren and I was having trouble finding something for her that used that role. She's definitely still a Siren but with the way the MSQ has gone, she's just now a Siren with some freedom to do as she wishes.

She's decided to go hunting down than man that is her birth father. But she'd return to her captain and sisters in a heartbeat if they need her. Though she's not going alone either. She recruited the help of an arcanist from the guild in Limsa.

Though I intend to write most of her story myself over time on here, that doesn't mean she's not open to connections still if people wanted. Mostly I needed things I can write when people aren't free to do things with. Cause Adults. I have so many things waiting already because my lovely friends are all Adults and rl often kidnaps them or doesn't leave them with the energy to do things. Or even I don't have the brain sometimes for specific characters. So her story won't be entirely closed off from other people. It just gives me something to work on when I'm feeling the itch and no one is free. (Same kind of applies to Nebula as well.)

Thanks @pinxli

ancxentgates !!!

I’ve only been following ancient for about a week maybe just under a week, but I really really like their muses. They has such interesting characters and their writing is so good. Plus she seems really nice too from the small amount of interaction we’ve had. I like Freya and Adelena’s interactions so far, I would love to see more from ancient :).

Meanwhile, a compliant had been brought to the king, that a young Duke bride had been stolen, by a northern ship.

So he entrusted an envoy to continue scouting, to discover the whereabouts of adelena Conan, offering a sizeable reward, for information and sending it to multiple countries.

A Change of Plans

- He didn’t image that his time in Connacht would be a decent one. He was a man of Leinster, and the two provinces had a rather strained rivalry. Yet, he felt himself become charmed with Connacht’s hills, with the well intentioned people, and the family his cousin Rebekkah had adopted as her other family.

Riley was the family member he had spent the most time with. They both drank together, speaking about their family lives and a bits of their past. They also both laughed together at the reputations people had given them: He was known to be cold-hearted, and she was a heart breaker. The joke between them was that they were then safe to be around each other. He had arrived to act as support for Rebekkah, so he never thought he’d find himself becoming friends with someone there.

With that being said, he did everything in his power to avoid Nichola Conan. She was the woman who had humiliated her cousin all those years ago, something he wasn’t about to forgive. He socialized with her daughter, Adelena, whom he found to be decent, yet kept his distance out of caution. William Conan was an interesting fellow, and Ron suspected they also could be friends, but since William was being support for Nichola, he had kept his distance for the time being. Perhaps on another visit, he could have a drink with the youngest Conan brother.

Rebekkah and Ron were given guest rooms in Riley’s home to stay in, so when he woke up, he poured himself some juice and lit up some herbs to smoke. The sun had just risen, so the rest of the home was still. Riley, and Adelena were most likely asleep, and perhaps he had woken Becky up when he walked by her room, because he then saw her come down the stairs in her robes, yawning as she approached him. 

“You’re up early, Ronnie,” Said Becky with a smile, patting his shoulder before she sat down with him to pour herself some juice.

“So are you.” Ron said plainly, exhaling some as she began to sip on her drink, “Late night?”

Becky shrugged, avoiding his gaze. Ron knew she had been out last night - and he suspected it was to speak to someone. He didn’t know who and it seemed she wasn’t going to reveal who she had gone to meet, or why. All he knew was she had come back particularly late...

Ron knew when pressing a question wasn’t going to achieve anything, so he didn’t ask her anymore about her outing, he instead decided to be honest about something else.

“Will you stay here any longer? Because I have some business to attend to. I’ll have to leave here soon.”

Becky blinked, obviously unaware he had pending business. “I do want to stay longer, but...you’re leaving for business? I thought you were going home after I left here.”

Ron idly passed his pipe between his fingers. “So did I, but I have a certain thorn on my side that needs to be tending to.”

Becky then made a concerned face. She didn’t know exactly what his side businesses were like, but she had a good guess.

“Don’t get yourself killed, Ronnie. You’ve had too many close calls,” Pouted Becky, cradling her cup in between her hands. 

“Don’t worry, I have a few ways on how to achieve it safely” Said Ron with a hint of a smile before his gaze moved towards the stairs that led to the rooms upstairs, where certain others were still asleep, “And my first plan may be a rather entertaining one.” -

Ocean and Stars || 1

It was another night where Lance couldn’t find the peace of mind to fall asleep. He tossed, turned, and paced around his room to try and tire out his body; however, it soon donned on him that the culprit of his insomnia was his over zealous mind.  He heaved out a dramatic sigh as he crashed back down on his mattress. He was so caught up in his attempts to fall asleep that he forgot the sleeping figure taking up one side of his bed... Well, that is until he heard a soft ‘ow’ come from the lump. 

“Dude, I’ve had to put up with you rocking the bed for the last two hours, and now you assault me. What the hell, McClain?” A tired Adelena sat up, but only after she fished around for her glasses. The two locked eyes for a moment, but Lance simply turned on his side to reach and hug his pillow. “Is it the nightmare again?” she asked thoughtfully. 

Lance shook his head. 

“You’re kinda young to be going through another existential crisis, Lane... You worried about meeting with the Citadel Council?” 

He shook his head again, but this time, Lena didn’t dare venture into another question. She just waited for him to speak and tell her what was wrong.  No matter how long it was going to take him, she wasn’t going to let him ride this out alone. Quietly, she combed her hand through his hair and began humming an old lullaby. All she could hope was that it would be enough. 

“There’s too much going on up here to pinpoint,” Lance sighed, eyes still refusing to look up at his friend, “How do you do guys do it, Lea? You Commander Mason, Shiro, Allura, and Keith? How do you guys make leading look so... Easy? I keep messing things up with my team...”  

Lena rose a brow, but her confusion was dispelled with a sigh. She understood now. He was worried about his solo mission to check Colony IV next week.  This would be Lance’s first mission as Captain of his own crew, and by the rumors spreading around, none of them really gave him the respect he deserved as lead. They didn’t even trust him enough as captain either. 

Without saying anything, Lena guided her friend to sit up on the mattress so she could give him a tight hug. 

“Nothing we did was easy, Lane. Making hard decisions really takes a toll out of you... Especially when the right thing to do isn’t what you want to do.” the girl placed her hands on Lance’s shoulder to push him away so they could lock eyes, “They may not trust you now, but you have the capability in leading that team. Don’t feel nervous... They can smell fear.” Lena felt a wave of satisfaction pull her when she managed to get Lance chuckling.  She laid him down to throw his blanket over him, and snuggled up under the plush blanket his Abuela gave him. 

Moments of silence were broken by another chuckle, “Thanks Lea.”

The Insanity of Faith

Written By Adelena Oh, Singapore Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1) It seems crazy to believe in something that’s not there yet, to have complete certainty that something’s going to happen even though there is no physical evidence. Yet Hebrews 11:1 describes […]
