From INQUEST (some weekend sap): “Youre awful sometimes. Getting out of capture the flag by lying?” Jewl shook her head. Anj smirked, his gaze still empty and facing in front of him. “I cant help that my disability makes walking through the forest unsafe. Id hate to trip and hurt myself like last year. Those branches come out from no where! And everyone knows I cant use my magic for long.” “Yet youre leading me through the forest. Where there are lots of branches. Not just any part of the woods either, but Bear Mountain.” “There arent any bears here. Its not even a mountain!” “No, but it is steep.” “Thats why Im here. To make sure you have something to help keep you steady.” She rolled her eyes. “Youre up to something. Otherwise you wouldnt bother taking me to a place you hate.” “I dont hate Bear Mountain.” “You hate nature in general. The only reason you come to camp every year is because you hate how your mother babies you all of the time even more.” Anj shrugged. “I feel like facing a fear of mine, then. And if we just so happen to stumble upon a sappy picnic, then thats even better.” Her gaze narrowed as they pressed onward. Sure enough, a few feet ahead of them was a clearing. Spread on the grass was a blanket, a basket, and too unlit candles. “What did you do?” Jewl asked. Anj snickered and spread his arms wide. “If you feel like swooning, Im here to catch as needed.” “I dont know if I should slug you or kiss you.” “Do I get a vote?” “What did you do?” she repeated. He took her by the elbow and helped her to sit on the blanket. It took a little extra effort and some careful patting of the ground, but he was able to find it. “Dearest,” he said. “Why do you assume Ive done something bad?” “Youre being mushy.”
