    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    "I guess? Maybe. I don't really know what I'm doin'. Or what I'm doin' wrong. Seems like I keep gettin' ghosted." Brisa looked at her friend, and saw more in Starr's expression that she usually saw in anyone else's. Yeah. She was sincere. Of course she was. When Starr told her something like...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz, however, did. "D'you reckon y'can call her by her name?" she said, quietly. Best not to steal the thunder, so to speak. Hopefully the critter wouldn't jump them before Cal started a dialogue. Now that would be a disappointing outcome, especially if Luz couldn't hold her own against...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Wind and weather, really?? Gods. Starr, please. The worst part was she had a point. Brisa was fucking hopeless. And yet... It felt okay, when the rush of heat to Brisa's ears had a chance to dissipate. Starr wasn't being mean. This was more like . . . an invitation to talk about it honestly...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Brisa's ears went so flat they were flush with her head. Actually, maybe returning from the Voidlands had been a mistake. Maybe she should go back there, at the earliest possible convenience. "W-would ya, now? Whatever gave ya, um, that idea?" What the fuck was she doing? She was transparently...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz slammed one fist into the other palm and ground it in. "Knowin' fer sure is worth the price of it bein' an awkward or hostile meetin'. Sure seems you ain't ever movin' on until you do this, so let's do it. And yeah. I'm more'n okay with this. I'm stickin' with ya through thick an' thin...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Brisa's ears and tail shot up at that. "Alright," she said, tryin to reign in her embarrassingly potent delight. "I'll be lookin' forward to it! Already got some ideas about strategy, we can talk shop next time we hit the trainin' grounds. Y'might wanna be ready fer interviews, though. Pansit...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz shrugged. Questions and gentle prompting didn't work for Cal? That was fine. "Then meet her. Doesn't matter if'n y'don't know how it'll go. Meet her anyway, and resolve to not regret however it turns out."

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Huh. So they'd each spent time training a latecomer, huh? Nice. Maybe they could get together for a throwdown at some point. "Yeah!" said Brisa, with relish. "Actually, you'll be pleased t'hear it's yer own advice about pacin' myself that earned me my recent wins. I beat Pepper in our rematch...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    There had been a time when any touch from another person had been businesslike at best, or hostile at worst. Starr's willingness to show affection with her physical presence, with touch, was comforting in a way Brisa had never realised she needed. She didn't do that thing everyone else did...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Brisa nodded, and finished her swig. "Sure am. This is a first fer me, bein' this large an' powerful an'— oh! I got the luxray vision, just as I expected. Still gettin' the hang of it, but it sure feels good. People treat me different, too. Most people. Not you, really." She looked at Starr...

    Threadmarks: R12 – Glad You're Here – Brisa & Starr

    After Brisa's revival, before the fight with Red... Since then... Brisa's dreams had been fragmented, intense, confusing as always, but strangely pleasant compared to the usual fare. Starr had... Starr stayed with her. Because she'd asked. She'd slept off half a lifetime's fatigue, thrown...

    Spirits' Edge

    "I weren't askin' what y'thought of how I'm doin'. I'm askin' after yer thoughts on yer own source. But if y'wanna sit quietly with them awhile... Well, that's just fine, darlin'." Luz patted Cal's shoulder gently, and shifted on Buffet's back such that, if Cal wanted, she could lean against her.

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz smiled kindly at Cal and gave her a gentle bump on the shoulder. "Berry f'yer thoughts, partner? I know there'll be a lot on yer mind after all that."

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz shrugged. "I'm thinkin' maybe the idea of a hero who's thrilled about takin' on the world's problems is a fantasy. Maybe a 'mon can still be heroic and be chipper about it, but I think dedicatin' yerself to it means bein' . . . like that. I guess the Wanderin' Light's legends are from a time...

    Spirits' Edge

    "I sure appreciate the trip, partner," said Luz, evenly, staring out at the starscape. "I would've wondered fer ever what she was like until I actually met her, y'know. Turns out... She's not all that like the person I'd imagined, except fer in the ways I really care fer. She ain't fired up an'...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz wondered for a moment if what she was struggling to put into words would show on her face, only to realise Luz wouldn't see it. Her source saved her the agony of trying to communicate by giving her a little wave and saying: "Safe travels, kid." "Safe travels," replied the shade, softly...

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

    "Slow yer goddamn roll, Dave," snapped Brisa, moving quickly from her cushion to the door. "You're gonna go confront him with that? That's how y'think an investigation should be conducted? By someone who's already decided the fella's above scrutiny, with secondhand and incomplete information...

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

    "Have you?" bit back Sombra, with less anger than fatigue. "You don't trust Maple, but what y'don't care fer about her is unconcealed. When has Soda ever given you a straight answer? When has he defended himself with information 'stead of playin' with folks feelings?" "We ain't discussin'...

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

    "I don't have a problem with Soda," said Brisa, quickly, eyeing her shadow. "No. But you oughta. One of the God Squad's gotta be a double agent. It ain't any of the others; none of them are capable. That fella has the motive, means, and opportunity, and he shuts down any inquirin' 'mon, not by...
