    Destiny Village ~ Pasta Plaza

    Brisa blinked back the emotions welling in her head and smiled warmly at her protegé. Her kid brother, kinda. "Thanks, partner. Me too. Me too..." She downed most of the rest of her cider, gasped, and grinned with satisfaction. "How d'ya like yer first proper drink, Koa?"

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    "Heh, yeah. Luz has always known exactly who she is. The person li'l Brisa wanted t'grow up to be. I think she's okay with bein' a void eterna after the 'hatching' and everythin', and it's in her nature to be upbeat, but I know it gets to her sometimes." Brisa smiled at the two shades getting...

    Destiny Village ~ Pasta Plaza

    She pulled away, and before he could reply, she took a sharp breath to steady herself, and looked him in the eye. "Listen t'me, Koa. You're a good kid, and y'deserved better from yer old man. Yer pa... He just ain't yer responsibility. By rights, you're his responsibility, and he bailed, 'cause...

    Destiny Village ~ Pasta Plaza

    Oh, wind and weather, that felt some kind of way in her chest. "I... That's, ah. Look, kid—" Brisa put her cider on the vendor's countertop and leaned forward to give Koa a hug, one forelimb around his shoulders, her cheek rubbing his. "I'm so proud of you, Koa," she growled, softly. "So...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa blew a low breath. That was some supernatural charisma right there. Damnit, she hadn't expected him to get them with interference. Whatever. She'd strike hard, fast, and save enough energy to do it again on the next burst... She dashed for Sprout faster than most could follow, knowing he...

    Destiny Village ~ Pasta Plaza

    "Thanks fer comin' with," said Brisa. "I, uh..." She frowned, unsure of what she meant, or how to say it. But using Whiplash would be cheating, in a way, so she forced the words out. "I've learnt a lot from folks on this world, both the locals and our teammates. It's... It's nice t'feel like...

    Destiny Village ~ Pasta Plaza

    Brisa laughed. "Everything's been cool fer a while, sure. Livin' one hell of a lifestyle, in between death-defyin' feats fer the fate of the planet." The vendor ladled out cider into two cups for the electric pair, and Brisa paid. "Start with sips, and let me know if you feel heady earlier...

    Destiny Village ~ Pasta Plaza

    Brisa chuckled. "Yeah, okay. Uh, I ain't buyin' you hard liquor. But fer day drinkin', I'll tell you what I think is real nice..." She found the stand a couple spaces up from its usual spot, and gave a firm nod to the vendor. The Plaza staff knew not to try and give her things on the house...

    Threadmarks: EPILOGUE ~ Koa's First Drink

    All things considered, it was a nice day. They'd had a lot of nice days, lately. The weather gods' appreciative send-off, perhaps? In any case, life seemed almost normal in the Plaza. Like there hadn't just been a near-apocalypse, at all. "Alright, kid. I woulda waited a li'l longer fer this...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa raised her head in a small nod of acknowledgement. "You'll have seen some of my matches, then," she said, stating a fact. Her participation rates had been recordbreaking. "Not that there's much time left t'make use of it or anythin', but, d'you have any . . . advice, I guess? Colour me...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Luz beamed happily, eating up Rocky's enthusiasm. "Yeah, that was somethin' real special. Y'think anyone got it on video? I wanna watch the highlights. D'you think I could put my participation on my resume? Jus' kiddin'." Brisa snorted, and shoved her haul from bar where everyone could reach...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    "Cauldron ain't the place fer a quiet drink, y'know." "Guess not! But I've had my share of quiet lately. I kinda feel like runnin' into someone, t'be honest! Been awhile since we had a group yarn with folks. Maybe we'll see Vix an' Kane, or Cythnian an' Ivy?" "Don't seem likely. But sure, yer...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    Brisa laughed in agreement. "Yeah, we're both always lookin' to work on things. Look fer solutions, train up, all that." She hummed in thought, lips pursed, as she padded further along the beach. Luz had found a piece of jet-black sea glass and was showing it off to Cal as if it were the most...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    "'Course I am." Brisa's breathing came easily, no shudders of anxiety, no claustrophobia, just peaceful comfort in her lover's arms. It might not happen very many more times, but it could keep going just a little longer, just this once... "Mind if I drift off?" she murmured. "It's a warm night..."

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    It wasn't often that Starr said it out loud, but when she did, it filled Brisa's chest with a light that felt like it'd keep her warm forever. She smiled to herself and rumbled contentedly, her whole body feeling relaxed and bright, inside and out. She put her free paw over Starr's and gripped...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    Brisa laughed as Starr ruffled her scalp. It still felt so good to lean on someone so comfortable with her. Who had the same kind of strength as her. "I hope so," she replied, softly. "I really fuckin' hope so." And maybe it could happen. It could happen. And she wanted that so much it felt...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    Brisa blanked for a second, then snorted with surprise, then screwed her eyes shut and shoved her face into Starr's fur, and grabbed her in a full-on hug. "Don't give a damn," she said, voice muffled. "I'd meet you anywhere, darlin'." Thank the stars for Starr. And for that way she had of...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    Brisa nodded. "I ain't afraid of what's ahead of me. It's gonna suck, but I really do believe I'm gonna change." The sand felt warm underfoot. A thin crust of dried sand covered the softer sand beneath, and where she stepped, it cracked. Like frost. Like leaves. Nature's patterns repeating...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa cracked her neck and slammed one zeraora fist into the other zeraora palm. She knew what the crowd liked. "Don't you worry, Sprout," she called, "I'm gonna do my level goddamn best t'kick yer ass. I expect the same of you, fella!" The rush of searing Radiance blared in her ears...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    Brisa turned to meet Owen's eye and felt a tightness by her sternum, a pressure behind the eyes. "Yeah... Me too, fella. Me too." She looked away and blew out a long, low whistle. No point in hiding your emotions around a guy who may as well be an empath. Kinda freeing, really, what with how...
