If David didn't dislike 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg5YtgsHbW
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREZHxu6gy0
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtN1vdl8kJ
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBAUmjmZr8
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagrE7AUFeA
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1v0lGlxYN
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RMpJFNwzz
would just bite him to death first.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwABkNVhs7
His shoes were 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwklR4y5z
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKBIVLxWbj
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwP8JUMdYC
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqKg0rFe2A
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBE3ONbZ0W
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MpCJkJuSj
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY7SUbj0IC
from the various insects.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI5f98Mo3z
There was a silver 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG1qygbaxV
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO4Pfoywwj
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JP6gmY7WN
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHogStM7FO
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufbI0J9Jgt
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVk2Orgxd1
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFvmZap0uT
Thankfully, Gob left 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYfY0QWfmY
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxy2g8BD5C
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pfrolxbZd
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOjteCOYzu
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElTXFwWE7
be. ~642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMMoPymQA8
While Gob did give a 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73B9ZhFG5I
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJtxsI7uaA
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfqUYhuui2
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbxzjmu7Hv
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ERkpNJuy
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ7JPbDzOJ
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacAjupTQQz
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgkZbkAw2G
David nodded, even 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZMyXdmgXE
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHvO4PuWmC
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j0fzj2qB3
voice was getting more excited.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWdmKWD9JW
"From the commonwealth 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLi6fh4Q8q
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhbWDS25CJ
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE1xbtj2pa
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRQRML7QcG
gambling.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbGf5hNcxX
Denise bumbled his head 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gkgWhTyXY
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc7DAKxzHX
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHzTFn8mi3
after..." Denis trailed off 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5op9mBktsY
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y2z1HTUmL
Denise brightened up at 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv8c36XzaT
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkSm0CSkY2
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfqW2GYxHl
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Tg1Du0kL
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX1Sq7M7ER
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX80XX1tQXp
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPrRZHUOa6
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fnkujuTRC
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP45rL7qGcg
Denise's eyes widened as642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbEMGUFE0a
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW0lTOXEal
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUPRqWPLj2
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hmv0MmiT6
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvJvyKbNuM
"Alright enough chatter 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiWnNeS12j
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLetsOQT7Ei
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxvtsaBz78
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIQur5muLs
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyheVH1F32
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UAMM2KsMs
Gathering all their 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDuEBkS5Fa
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BMVHHM1Wn
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX2EAeMVXg
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HEdpBKA0n
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghE6XUPip2
respectful.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzH5TsF2RO
"Sorry, but no." Gob 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0bI21Yg0X
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrFs17UtXn
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvHMUlkIxr
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzxQ9iKboD
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQwmSecRcO
the tough journey but no such luck642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8olFgAfdd
David was impressed by 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyBfG2CceU
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzD9dCVqEr
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyHg1F92u0
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDNsUIYtVE
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYjidbcvZi
Gob nodded. "Good you're642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1bxx2yymU
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47IAbOfQqW
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIEJWHAkKF
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoWvCMfrwV
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rAMzI7IH2
the ships he served on.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0454H9Ohf
Everyone began settling 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusVmeWemCk
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0eV9WqxD4
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDx3gh8JN2
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0g1T2cLIa
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP7QXMdZuK
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cZYl6Kgcj
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoelFuClAlR
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKh0Yo700W
Everyone else finished 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwhvF5IELr
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tjFOzybrs
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJqNpx7gfk
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXm3zB6ftF
the big wide world.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3jlHRNeNt
After a while, David 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1cgEAkAjS
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKqLJYHYzf
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQOws92Hm
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76oKDw2D7K
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA81QU6ykAd
some trouble sleeping."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtzxh9F64W
Angela looked at the 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwueke43mU7
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXElVfMRsVQ
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHB7SkWF9r
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNr5bjIFSu
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUupzh4t6W
"Everyone needs a loving642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw3sfzWCYn
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslliJmhKKh
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTHoAxh3zw
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL9mIT0HM5
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUaar4xnBn
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzOYmAa0mO
David nodded. "Aye I was."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6MTsucvJ7
"But how'd you survive?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRaXsTbsHt
"I'm just lucky I 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZBGcmNrnC
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4HnSHR45S
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wf2OrKrqn
yourself."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHDzjQcmyZ
Angela blushed scarlet 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rt6RsNgom
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs443PZGoO
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zjWJTjLtC
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9dIo7e52I
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyORvXnpqL
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwM7NL88BX
reading."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNsSeHLbpL
"He sounds like a good 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfYPaqINrI
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LXJxItjSd
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVjZ3eXJoz
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWHnCLW6az
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSStvWhwhH
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jWxaJnKYt
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lWqczzYPJ
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshXle9zLKR
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc0tNzepgD
Angela quickly rubbed 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJdh4kPh1S
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6WEOIOCZE
that." She added with an awkward laugh.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnSo5ujy1L
"Don't worry about it, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVbz2hDtZy
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYeY4ZQkau
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsROk8oFvw
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRHwaij78I
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgAPt9BVn1
smile.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXJK5VFB6F
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w9cDu7Sbo
The next person on watch642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CwGYck70X
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJgF12rW4M
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcxg1qMxme
name, quietly not to wake up others.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn52LQdviFL
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgGZWTnNVs
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF91QfDSuko
Denis beamed at the words and slumped down besides David. "So, do you really think I'd be able to do it. Go all around Astaria?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97gYmmYsck
"Sure, with me showing 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Sqeyzh0q
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuNr96bkvG
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV7E19Ysee
scrap."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSbf4ugIJO
Denis looked down a bit 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gzjrx0zO1
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcqNq54umP
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Dhe6QOQ1
what I can or can't do."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcygurkW0ZN
David nodded. He 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsxSytC6EX
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOpI3XTD5E
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TcWSt2ENu
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB6pv7ovV8
Denis nodded, cheering 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ET0jqMsV
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbYYIQP3qx
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKMvCdFRTX
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHKg9MijLI
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQLdFUJiaz
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBLtovxiRv
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzzWUSMOhZ
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM2g7SRD4i
Either way David wasn't 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIOYERPdg8
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4zXLZiuyB
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHqEVLNTAT
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx3usiPih6
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqkhczn3ny
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqqKBsK4GZ
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuglKHHcmM
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kvXvuafzv
After a lull in his 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZGgt8DJHn
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j4j0La90G
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjofeHCCbMw
"Oh! Well we think 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2bnbA3y07
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth8zkTGY9h
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnhazwBaPM
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfBg8cM8DU
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZqCbsDM9Q
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dPtktWGAW
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl9wNqvlXZ
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtZu3y5tUV
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYMSqT5m7z
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBITZgenn7
happy songs.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf5JSrZgtG
After Denis's watch 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63skm1MUmp
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedREjSdynI
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fh2H5Ie3l
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcwxFg9S3L
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8p9j4RMRb
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTA284omaD
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6596j5txrR
With a sight David 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOGGk0Mbwf
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfoFPCdcwC
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcfHoTFFJ6
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ377Zyi3sGM
As Rock continued his 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7xY6k2Gi4
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9El2PgKg5E
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxvQ3vGDhv
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XUMVQ695V
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mB7xzQku7
To David's dismay the 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMRZsI3mLn
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuc5FAVfqf
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OUKOhXXyf
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWNQLwvRED
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0l7xIWiNZ
gruesome journey.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBvKMoxYiS
As soon as he closed his642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbesMPc6xX
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGIW6Nu9Mg
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww8KAoj1WV
"Oh fall off, you cloud 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7zjv40dUo
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VlHMOVsqc
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJcx8IX9nf
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLthhN5JohZ
him. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCalM16RTz
During the walk Denis 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJvZdeXHRy
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34QNvpAGCB
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPAFmbHxNG
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFcupFZ4Fn
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzwbasnvhi
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKcCVWHSQy
"We're here." Gob 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc1oownuME
finally announced after hours of walking. At some point of the journey 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6itI5CTOmG
David turned his brain off so he wasn't even sure how long they walked 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhowQGikNXk
