If David didn't dislike 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwGLYyqYWK
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQwABrQJSo
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhfwSM0w8F
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYlk4bH7Lt
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsHRmpBidt
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYkdgiBhu4
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oGe3kM11Q
would just bite him to death first.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWx0BXQ3ic
His shoes were 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xz8FRxJps
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJpNzLS1n
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oVlUY6HMP
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSY73oKKaY
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6EaCP1ZBs
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3AaSyF9Mi
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNEn5uEuDr
from the various insects.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUcbjmJJiI
There was a silver 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKW7GICp23
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUCGVpmb4k
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WDjjBRKTf
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVuwg2ssRP
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ0V7egIIl
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnKI0eQDwk
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYpamdOXp1
Thankfully, Gob left 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfumf9wgHb3
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZjWS96FtU
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXpTLyBz5N
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NYD0WSLWy
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvhwAYSg0M
be. ~764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMDq0fRoyY
While Gob did give a 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC455cPfvGS
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBwvE1WaST
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XaoNkyLDS
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCa2PuDmBt
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EDZcEd85z
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFK5RAPFuN
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLt97kqDfs
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjva0OXQD0
David nodded, even 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3GY41PMCo
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p8bDOwTsU
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98VWA2hBjY
voice was getting more excited.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcM1qyEgFe
"From the commonwealth 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YGu9VWqkI
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZugxmuwdsb
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwySHLATDd
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURj4J8UUSe
gambling.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOqeGm71hE
Denise bumbled his head 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ginTrTj9
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47qXonkmFn
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDGoALPB7h
after..." Denis trailed off 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZsrk0DgQj
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAELm9eScLq
Denise brightened up at 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc1JvQq2Hz
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g8C2keDxI
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnyt3WNUiC
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs89U38HlFn
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6IfsanTpz
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDUmAAdgYv
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVjHsYympa
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PnCz7V77l
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdETkzNrCQg
Denise's eyes widened as764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bNNSFO7VV
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ydFAam8HD
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qzbano7Az
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eJbOxOS0b
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjobFV4AVg
"Alright enough chatter 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u1HF5zG2b
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4AVyqc7I
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79szUNCeQe
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U8h5vU4p1
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyxJaPQcxq
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwiDuxQ12x
Gathering all their 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaAc92RkLw
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZrI9xyDrs
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV8ES0Kluu
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ1wtWh968
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlb7kxYLo1
respectful.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpNv8PSRmA
"Sorry, but no." Gob 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACFBn9wHNp
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwshQS0wWt
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ261mRXGlYz
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUIDKkrNIZ
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjRxeapPnv
the tough journey but no such luck764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTM4iLb2y8
David was impressed by 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1GsX5HLRp
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCHvMoS6ht
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs0OpvOcpB
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQKNnsB01u
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aJIP4bQ8t
Gob nodded. "Good you're764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiREDxwGjYG
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBJdPQR3iG
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcLSb8s4Gk
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeNks9oyC7
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEf8xuDAGv
the ships he served on.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDNQvU5Sgh
Everyone began settling 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX7D01eBKL
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXZQ2URSqE
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK3dAxlCT5
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDucfWnt8Gy
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4w3hrx7P5
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM7u7xTYmU
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUF37oCx7d
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfliH89I7nT
Everyone else finished 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYe2HxJOax
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHpQdfyoge
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHmVv5v5kz
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcq8TlLoZp
the big wide world.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eL7mlwjOv
After a while, David 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsy4VCT9oZ
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRxD7ojY5t
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQvsbIhU03
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd6GfIKlYr
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzzDQ2WNEV
some trouble sleeping."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxYumpJKEU
Angela looked at the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRySpGf2hWK
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3MrzTjfqZ
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYA2OfX5I
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu0iwg3r4x
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO7nBqqGAh
"Everyone needs a loving764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrBFrnm6hS
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpskupgYlEY
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1MtFJqNiF
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwXqTx7Mg7
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GntWS6SrP
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wo4AcwOMH
David nodded. "Aye I was."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNEwUZffmq
"But how'd you survive?"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhw7hNsIQE
"I'm just lucky I 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0JQ20WnTL
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f7bHPp4T1
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNwNv3vu4z
yourself."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IWF7Cel7q
Angela blushed scarlet 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNxop9bR1N
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ekeqGhEp9
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkbC1zJ59S
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrx3TYlgxU
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A2sgh8AyD
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoavdUSPTut
reading."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wVMLs8Eax
"He sounds like a good 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8QGQttzDv
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KYkOAf8N7
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpTL3jqWYy
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo4P3LgWp7
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG57S4pKM6
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYA6FdLQsd
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H5b612DBW
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoRGjsHc5K
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqi1hbvpmH
Angela quickly rubbed 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLrEbaesc8
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHS9D8X7SC
that." She added with an awkward laugh.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLGH9X0sdV
"Don't worry about it, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AbMfCJDNW
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lQQsVSnxu
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC8UqrhPkd
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJtjosY0aT
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUJqmRVOYZ
smile.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcvb6DdDsn
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLg62SalQS
The next person on watch764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4cRIB3Q2M
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4KBj1jq3P
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVuEzLXlOl
name, quietly not to wake up others.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWUb2Dk3my
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOZiFgYWRm
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhVGSlMmbr
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?"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKRu8iYXrD
"Sure, with me showing 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mi5lP0Bh2
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe9WxrzTmw
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AJuwizGCP
scrap."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRHXL9pncH
Denis looked down a bit 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I0a4zpLWJ
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAgzbdBEG5
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdi2tym4Nm
what I can or can't do."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GByJkxSeD
David nodded. He 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEnlS2m3yp
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrFaEC6ghM
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSEIKIC3jg
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFWR8iCBmB
Denis nodded, cheering 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E50YOM1Vp
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeBcpjCEh8
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SG9RksdrF
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNgjFjU9XC
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQq6RVthIe
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrfxMU2sn8
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSAbKc8nLE
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyKsag2PEB
Either way David wasn't 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUaxYGjnBf
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVghgRLvle
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn9ol93F8g
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9XWQh0mJT
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OJaNvcM4H
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ1FgmGh0k
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zHMiTVJtE
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEilf3wk2D
After a lull in his 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vSoy3gOhD
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQh1iJTdRE
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdbcqRsaBI
"Oh! Well we think 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPY6tzZdVa
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE8jSTgOeQ
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVmrkzRjMN
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyxlUex5HL
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXTcJMk6a9
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAswBOkIME
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwrX0O8hfI
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0zwxFQkFw
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSEcL5sPm0
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXVd5HncG5
happy songs.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kYNCjQ9b7
After Denis's watch 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvSx4Fn0Q0
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWLsFKc82L
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7ixyzCSWl
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5fJIWlCUC
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAB09Cs3pb
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WmAbtiIPV
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8iMcLewrK
With a sight David 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTYfcGQCkf
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7lYjTRsPC
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6gF8zxxo
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0IEM6zoI2
As Rock continued his 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaaGLjtFew
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TgEQbBoiR
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKK4j29bJw
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5lzwlAeha
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUt6PCF2Sc
To David's dismay the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3mLFoxW9
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwhQ8qFDp9
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVE52BhOId
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuJD45KXmm
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHipgn42SQ
gruesome journey.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AM9bTL2Fh
As soon as he closed his764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R79RyzNjK
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKisMIWOco
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdXgAGgO7X
"Oh fall off, you cloud 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy00i1OEn61
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SHFX1a1rJ
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk2xQBg2Qb
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UREm5lXSj
him. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaMj9UwVPh
During the walk Denis 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqzMU0ddr2
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRRX57tveb
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa0149XVhF
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC6Mdx5Jti
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnGnsfNC6k
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NVGc10dYj
