Nimona OC - Charlotte Swiftheart/Corova

Alright. My break (from school) is officially over and I'm heading back to the dorms today (I don't know how to feel about that, honestly). But it's fine. I just have three more weeks and then I'm off for a month for Christmas. We'll be alright, lads.

And now, for more stuff.

First, Previous, Next

To keep herself from pacing, she busies herself with taking care of the children. She hasn't heard anything from Ballister or Nimona yet, and they weren't at the tower when she checked. She's worried that something happened to them after they fled the market. Is the Squire dead? Did they have to dispose of the body? No, no, surely not...

Besides, Nimona talks big about killing, but she isn't really like that. She wouldn't kill someone. Not on purpose. Charlotte shakes her head slightly, looking down at where little Todd (she laughs internally as she thinks back to shooting knight Todd's crossbow out of his hands) is curling up in his bed. He has a raggedy teddy bear clutched to his chest, and Charlotte smiles softly as she pulls the blanket a little bit higher over him.

"Are you comfortable, sweetheart?" she asks softly. He nods, nestling a little further under the blanket, and she brushes some hair away from his forehead. "Alright. Good night, Todd."

"Good night, Chari," he mutters back. She turns away, making sure that all of the children are accounted for, then steps out and into the main area. Just then, a rhythm is hit into the pipe, echoing through the room. Her eyes widen, and she rushes toward the door, looking up at where Indrie is perched.

"It's them," she says, looking down at Charlotte. Charlotte quickly unbolts the door and opens it. As soon as she sees Ballister and Nimona, she yanks them both into a hug.

"Oh, thank Gloreth, you're okay," she says, squeezing them. Ballister relaxes in her grip, and Nimona awkwardly pats a hand against Charlotte's back. After a few moments, Charlotte steps back. "Sorry. Come in, please." She steps aside and allows the two of them to step inside, then closes the door behind them.

"Is it alright if we stay here for a few hours?" Ballister asks. Charlotte sets a hand on his shoulder.

"Of course, Bal. Stay for as long as you need. Do you want anything to eat? A place to sleep?" she asks. Ballister shakes his head.

"I'm alright. But thank you," he says. Nimona, however, leans around him and holds up a finger.

"I could eat," she says. Charlotte chuckles.

"Of course. Help yourself, Nim," she says. Nimona grins, then shifts into a rabbit and quite literally hops away. Once she's gone, Charlotte turns to Ballister, taking a moment before she loops her arm around his. "Walk with me." He nods, and they move away from the door. She watches him purse his lips, clearly thinking.

"We're going to see Ambrosius in the morning," he says. She almost recoils.

"What? Bal, why? He's in charge of looking for you! You'd be putting yourself and Nimona in danger," she says. He sighs.

"I know. But when we talked to the Squire, he showed us something. Something that can prove I'm innocent. Ambrosius needs to see it," he says. She frowns slightly.

"What did he show you, Bal?" He looks over at her.

"Right. Let me show you," he says. She releases his arm as they stop walking and he reaches into his back pocket, retrieving a phone. As soon as it's turned on, she can see a video, which she plays. On top of some rather embarrassing things that show how much this particular Squire admired Ballister, it also reveals who sabotaged Ballister's sword. The person who really killed the queen.

The Director.

"That witch!" Charlotte hisses. She looks back at Ballister. "Why do you need to bring this to Ambrosius? The entire kingdom needs to see this, Bal!"

"That's what I told him!" They look over as Nimona starts walking over to them, a small slice of Charlotte's most recent pie cradled on a plate in her hands. Ballister sighs.

"And like I said before, we can't. The Director is the problem, not the Institute," he says. Charlotte's frown deepens.

"Bal-"

"Look, I don't want to talk about this. Do you have somewhere I can rest for a bit?" Charlotte purses her lips for a moment, then sighs.

"Yeah. I'll have someone take you." She gestures for one of the sanctuary members to come over to them, then looks back at Ballister and holds up the phone. "Do you mind if I hold on to this for a little while? I'll give it back before you leave, I promise." He looks back at her for a moment, obviously considering. Then, he sighs again.

"Alright. Fine. Good night."

"Good night." He turns to follow the sanctuary member upstairs. They don't really have spare beds, but there's a couch that Nimona stays on when she's here.

"He's so brainwashed it's sad," Nimona says. Charlotte looks over at her, watching as she chomps on her slice of pie. After a moment, she looks after Ballister, feeling rather sad about it all. She hoped it wouldn't be like this.

"Come sit with me for a bit?" she asks, looking back at Nimona. The shapeshifter pauses mid-bite, then slowly pulls her mouth back.

"Okay? Why?" she asks. Charlotte takes a deep breath.

"I think there are some things you should hear."
