BdrLineAzn:
--Academy--
After Yiski and the others left for the Council Chambers, BdrLine is still at the armoury putting on the final touches on his new rifle. As of now all the metal components of the rifle are finished and are put together, all it needs now are some wooden guards around the barrel and metal stock. BdrLine looks around the armoury if they had any spares lying around.
Ok come on, come on. Where are they, I mean this is the armoury for Gods sakes.... Aha there you are.
In one part of the room are the many different wooden guards for the rifles. And BdrLine goes over and pulls out some oak wood guards and goes back to snap them on. He then goes to a wood engraver and places his initials on the wooden stock guard.
The final look of the rifle is one to look at; simple, rugged, yet still elegant in nature with the wood. Unlike the standard bolt-actions that the guards carry around, this rifle has a semi-action bolt which, after a round is fired, automatically loads the next round in place. It is magazine feed and can hold up to 14 rounds in the magazine.
Eyeing his new weapon, BdrLine smiles as he takes a shoulder stap and and adjust it on his rifle. He then slings it over his shoulder and heads towards his room to freshen up.
Inside his room, all that he is thinking about now is Althea and how to approach her.
Ok Bdr, just calm down, it's not like it's going to be the end of the world. Just ask her out on a date, simple right?"
Once dressed in casual clothes he starts to exit the saloon only to be met by Nelson and Bell. BdrLine groans as he forgot that he still need a guard detail.
Bell
"Going ou..."
BdrLine
"Yeah just come on" *sighs*
The three of them heads towards the Council Chambers. There he sees Lauren and Althea at the steps of the building.
Nelson
"Hey isn't that Althea?"
Bell
"Yeah, man look at her, got to be suicidal to try and ask her out."
Even BdrLine is know to be crazy, but he is sweating bricks at the thought of asking her out. Bell notices this and ask him.
Bell
"Hey BdrLine, you alright?"
Startled by this he turns to him.
BdrLine
"Yeah, I'm fine, Umm can you guys wait here, I got todo something."
He walks past the two towards Lauren and Althea, Bell and Nelson looks on as BdrLine walks towards more to Althea.
Nelson
"Is he?"
Bell
"I think so"
Nelson
"He's dead isn't he?"
Bell
"yup"
Back with BdrLine, he goes up the steps and addresses Althea.
BdrLine
"Umm Althea? Would you,,,Ahh. Mind if... ehh *quickly* Would you like to go out on a date with me?"
He shrinks back a little as for an answer.
Gryphos:
--Armoury--
The Wyrm entered the armoury after he saw BdrLine leave. He eyed the room around him, full of weapons.
Wyrm
"Damn, there's enough firepower here to overthrow the Empire. Too bad it all has to go. Can't risk an assault with all these weapons about"
And with that he withdrew a bomb and timer from his coat and set it up behind a barrel of powder. Before taking out a pocket watch and setting the time.
Wyrm
"An hour should do it, I want a good vantage point from which to watch the fireworks. Hehe."
Yiski:
--Academy--
When BdrLine asked her out for a date, all Althea could do was stare at him. It wasn't because she found the request ridiculous or stupid, but because she was genuinely surprised by it. Of all her time training and improving her skills and abilities, she had not been asked once by any man for a date.
One reason was most men were off put by her physical prowess and few could keep up with her. Another, most believed, like BdrLine's guards, she was unapproachable which was untrue to an extent. Her unapproachable nature was a result of her bodyguard duty and since this was the first time she'd ever been given a day off, nobody has ever really interacted with her outside of that duty. Until today.
Moments felt like hours to BdrLine who just stood there and felt smaller by the second. Realizing the full impact of BdrLine's question, Althea gave a small blush.
Althea
"Ah well... I do have the day off. I was planning on training..."
The second line almost killed BdrLine's hopes. Althea stammered.
Althea
"But, Yiski has suggested I am far too stressed... so yes, I will go on a date with you."
RearAdmiralZill:
-Council Chambers-
Zill is sitting in one of many pews looking onward to the council. Hearing Sabastian's testimony didn't phase him at all. Honestly, he wasn't surprised. With the council being so protective of itself, simply asking for the weapon blueprints would be an insulting waste of time, regardless of diplomatic ties. Getting that intel discreetly would be the easiest option, followed by invading Anvala. Old friends or not, the greed of nations was always stronger. Zill speaks from his seat.
Zill
"So lets assume you're telling the truth. You freely give all this information for us to take in and analyze, and this somehow benefits you."
Sabastian
"Correct. I honestly have nowhere else to go, and what safer place than Anvala?"
Zill
"Personally I could care less about your contacts. You gave us this information and I see no reason to see past the fact you still tried to carry out your deal with Baron representatives. Non-lethal or not, you kidnapped the commander of ground personnel and lead designer of military grade weaponry here in Anvala, breaking nearly every treason law we have. Plus I simply dislike you."
Sabastian
"Surely you do not suspect I have told you everything I know. Nor are my contacts to be ignored as mere spies squatting in some lonely village."
Zill
"Not a care of mine."
(1)
"Admiral, you will cease this hostility toward an informant."
Zill
"And for you, it's your fault we're in this mess to begin with. If you weren't so worried about your well-being, Anvala wouldn't have to defend itself on a monthly basis from invasions.
(3)
"There would also be no free city of Anvala."
Zill
"Free? You've got to be joking. We are prisoners to its defense. If it weren't for us, you and your city would be a pile of rubble, or part of another nation. While you sit here and deliberate the fate of a man we defend against every day, I bury good soldiers on the mountainside and ask myself why. So in your small, selfish deliberation, take that into account. Then also take into account how many will leave you to your well-deserved fates once you take it one step too far."
(7)
"It that a threat Admiral?"
Zill
"That is your truth, members of the council."
-Council Docks-
Jun'ko was rummaging though the old pyramidion all day. A few notes here and there but nothing to suspect why he stopped flying it, and hid it for so long. She sat there on the main deck, wondering what happened.
Just then, she suddenly felt cold. The feeling wasn't natural. It felt deathly cold. She looked around, but saw nothing. What sounded like a faint whisper came to her ear, but then it was gone.
She came to the quick conclusion that she would have to get him to fly it again before the truth would come out. With that, she exited quickly, leaving the docks with her guards following behind.
BdrLineAzn:
BdrLine is thrilled by the answer and is speahless for a few minute until Althea asks him.
Althea
"BdrLine, you ok."
Shaking his head to get back.
BdrLine
"Sorry, just, wow."
Althea puts on a small smile and blush and takes one of his hands.
Althea
"I think you should take me out now."
Now it's BdrLine's turn to go red as she touches one of his hands.
BdrLine
"Of course."
He then leads them towards the City Center. Not far from them, Nelson and Bell watches in amazement of the sight they saw. They look back between the two and themselves.
Nelson
"Really did he just..?"
Bell
"Do I need to say it. I mean we just saw what happen."
Nelson
"What do we do now? Do we follow or what? We are suppose to guard him."
Bell
"But he's with Althea, that's about 5 normal guards with him."
Nelson
"Wait, I got an idea, we go incognito and follow them at a distance, we still on the job if we do."
Bell
"You are the Gunnery Sarge, I'll just follow. But if this blows up in our face."
Nelson
"Let's just go."
The two then follows BdrLine and Althea.
--City Center--
As the two walks around the Center, it has greatly improved a, with the new resources the city has recieved, new buildings are starting to sprout. During their walk, BdrLine notices that she is quite relaxed.
BdrLine
"First time out and free?"
