Snake in the Grass

[Jamie Pyne]

A single moment turned around in a fraction of a second. Having just turned the corner her eyes glanced around to see most of the group, save one. Where had he gone? The answer to that was shortly revealed, as Jamie felt a sudden pull on her wrist, her body twisting in a one hundred and eighty degree turn from where her eyes had laid. She saw a quick glimpse of what looked to be Micah, who she had been following, but with such a brief look she hadn't the time to process the thought before feeling her body rather abruptly and violently pushed against a rough duracrete wall in the alleyway.

Oomf! She groaned, feeling the momentary sting from the unexpected contact.

Then came voices. One from the assailant, the other two from presumably the others she had been following. She struggled and wiggled a bit to see the face of the person behind her. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" She bemoaned, "That hurts you know!" Jamie managed to finally get a look and confirm that it was in fact Micah restraining her.

"Can you please let go of my arm?!"

Of course, Vexen and Nohei would toss in their two cents. Rude!

Then again, the blonde in his grip was a wily one, wiggling and writhing like a fish trying to escape. And this one had bony elbows!

"Hey... hey hey!" Micah would cry out, a mock expression of aghast at the girl's movements. She got him right on the ribs too! "Watch where you stick that bony elbow of yours!" he warned her, moving way and releasing her wrists.

"And you tell me to behave," came the wagging of his finger at his youngest sister.

"She's clearly the violent one!" another protest as he rubbed his side as if he really had been hurt. As it was, they really had to finish this and hurry. They had to meet up with Solari to find out what happened to the kidnapped Slussi.

 

[Kaili Talith]

It wasn’t exactly hard to understand why someone would squirm when pinned by a stranger against a wall. Perhaps Micah hadn’t read the message that Aela had sent, or perhaps he had and that was why he did what he was currently doing. Reading Micah had always been one of the more difficult things in Kaili’s life. More often than not it ended up the reason why she would attack someone — or rather, attack him — and in one hundred percent of those cases said reaction was exactly what prompted him to do it.

“And I tell you to behave,” Kaili nodded. “Why do you think she is even being violent in the first place, Micah?”

The girl leaned back and let her arms cross against her chest. “Cause and effect, Micah.”

“We are late. Let’s be on our way already.”
