If David didn't dislike 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUyWSTFRC7
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIfjuYBzU5
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x4Lyn049x
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXb6T5Uz7b
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeqAmhn8YL
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAG2I3vVOA
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn7lsL9UyB
would just bite him to death first.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALxERSCSVG
His shoes were 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaPk1eyUBf
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHKSEA3dB0
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xn5mydCBJ
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPcpHvKcxh
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL2hjWpCUg
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLLS6cTpsH
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXb13GrUVB
from the various insects.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8rcg5iLvu
There was a silver 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxWBqUSADT
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZXBZC18uN
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaolL0q0xLX
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxjO4FbECZ
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE4bsSaKSz
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbshaL3oLM
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks2SfAup2d
Thankfully, Gob left 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4s2EsJFbM
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7k1oMWKgP
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOdhBjzRem
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3kR1Xzc8C
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqkSngD5W1
be. ~700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqBMzSiS1O
While Gob did give a 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXHn8ukVjz
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJacI9uk056
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG1Bx9GWBM
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBn16KEPna
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvQwpAKqrM
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLMXurYplQ
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrtdH150Yf
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOORDQFJwq
David nodded, even 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDNOyoFVF
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zelJUVO89
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWHOhhElIK
voice was getting more excited.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4yQG8YTVm
"From the commonwealth 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId1COOYrZ2
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcck43eci2
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl9fgN9Jbw
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uY9Q49Ers
gambling.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VS0yQLWvI
Denise bumbled his head 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx851t3VhT
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnhejSttaJ
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa8IIyqKCC
after..." Denis trailed off 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUM6UaneXk
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zayGe5xvY
Denise brightened up at 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VKSBsxcdM
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKqicmg3J8
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFATNzluK4
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8swQpAKh3
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV126PmuOo
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtSnYWcQ4m
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvuJ7EmMsW
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv08CGp1cIZ
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqahWsUqtwe
Denise's eyes widened as700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrSLyq742z
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC7cetkohC
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoZbN9NViq
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2J2WtzsgZ
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxllzPtfYb
"Alright enough chatter 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBuBZlh2k3
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8MqR93zZY
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdsvlRpsHn
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHdtekVgbK
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK0p496oKe
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOprP7KiRo
Gathering all their 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05pSjmiJkf
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1YwUCHxPA
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtoPTCrgrO
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQZOdhGogP
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf40c0pga7i
respectful.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIg4dcLA3Y
"Sorry, but no." Gob 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN9DyZSVzT
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ8ghza3OF
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkgsKopKuJ
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1BZw1qTFs
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5209WyO33G
the tough journey but no such luck700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2EIwHDosz
David was impressed by 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLKS3Vrfq1
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLB392VQW
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RcuM0iLL8
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzynTVChIo
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvndJItBTZt
Gob nodded. "Good you're700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlZL7QfZ0g
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2J8Qd677U
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ4yjXO9NL
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljSvEUwixF
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI0mmp8s04
the ships he served on.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW71yTiCOLz
Everyone began settling 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbyBM13KKq
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhacETUsa
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1308Qe9Dg
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRXHCZnHl2
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBoqoajtap
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5VJv7sb33
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1PUfTqtji
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sEADhvmak
Everyone else finished 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxfpSN3YZD
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFLRLeBgn6
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9TxzGqRV1
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YWicquhfi
the big wide world.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mICzeNaB8
After a while, David 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSF10knC6V
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTWUck30bg
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6L37xIz66
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JfPsizXwz
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvh5xBoTvw
some trouble sleeping."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0KsQbBR83
Angela looked at the 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupJwmzCKxY
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLPKrqZKLn
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1mkirXKA7
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx6SDU6uTo
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngh0hbM1Ts
"Everyone needs a loving700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2IOApw89h
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnOq23JKyY
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPZ3XwFlB0
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUbKi28v7O
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvWy8WPcSr
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQmfu80yKo
David nodded. "Aye I was."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aFwu7LQTS
"But how'd you survive?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ4rKnS9UK
"I'm just lucky I 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eTmdkY14i
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AxD2Dpeig
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY6AvPheGH
yourself."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzC9lmaE21
Angela blushed scarlet 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGGpFMJxri
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxyKci0IJT
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FuAuyZYq1
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLEiilTQZY
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89bdnZtZ3j
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTrwUnnaf4
reading."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB8tKrr3CN
"He sounds like a good 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDa34wGbDH
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp2llbQFsk
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7siJZAIVt
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV98h9l3N3M
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi0i818vDd
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i8hkiNGB2
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRKDHU2Vde
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDmZtSMuH
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya8bjh91iN
Angela quickly rubbed 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwZw2f2DFq
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAuADtYpRa
that." She added with an awkward laugh.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89uXmUu5xK
"Don't worry about it, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4mrVaSB2i
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqocZ5iMGc
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZKi4FlDKP
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUS3aKz94x
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgtkOvDrkG
smile.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUCuzZjxcM
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu2c2bUNn6
The next person on watch700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RGGlDK74Q
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcKDiCGrsb
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC58K83m8K
name, quietly not to wake up others.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAtLvufdI8
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvv7H1KIof
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAtyGtf8s1
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?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYegjMBM1n
"Sure, with me showing 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIkJRrc9b2
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bodjKFVpm
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD1CEuU2FU
scrap."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDr0ZnnWMW
Denis looked down a bit 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4WtA8hDW2
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZpDf36QMq
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuig4UDVS9
what I can or can't do."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUbVrkPTWs
David nodded. He 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m88eicasR
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzGlI0GuHm
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYDlQ1sGFV
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAW98eBvpF
Denis nodded, cheering 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeHBPX1Oki
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZcB3Rr2sj
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMjHg3Uh7k
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguoGt8DJm3
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPf3prg4Zx
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzvalL2vB
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1YTOGxKLU
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdSRfjAjen
Either way David wasn't 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lqQRaPgqU
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kTITMHNI6
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGBK9hMqbj
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwxCKjyBy8
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT7di8gyen
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHPessVBPJ
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB31ULntCfE
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQCGaseEtq
After a lull in his 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu76wrknxGF
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoimhcELlF
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJONxICGIg
"Oh! Well we think 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4X2joiden
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Iavjv6ZA
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNscDU1yNd
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMnNT7QKZD
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTaZ0yYJW1
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkyccsUIb6
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zqxRIvEKy
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzyrqFnyws
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BPhoRdxpp
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbSuadyFfD
happy songs.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLntcvGvhlt
After Denis's watch 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1HFKDEXxK
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw9gtFWL7T
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR3jR7Hztm
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jyAsc8AlR
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cqRfRFlvr
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgbEZplX7z
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xNSG40Dib
With a sight David 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqxIRI6pAA
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT3CpgGXUx
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe4igW3187
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ2f5rEpf0
As Rock continued his 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkdWT3bOSo
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFYynMTPGA
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ZoPtpshw
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQchKPwS75N
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfbJqYPSrm
To David's dismay the 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbRVVUwDjP
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm47o1biGZW
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP0SDdTsPe
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGo7ZDTOtK
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaa5L30FJK
gruesome journey.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP42RLqUmk
As soon as he closed his700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkogr6xXVY
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeir6zNHCM
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4twpHc0ft6
"Oh fall off, you cloud 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYNU5zuKdr
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEajB3utbwm
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK4b0eQJ6W
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTjCDqYGSG
him. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF6riJHzeX
During the walk Denis 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP05GXvj3Es
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUsQePvqpL
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIxc7rWFTX
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV5uheC7xo
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F17yYsda2
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeQVpryxBH
"We're here." Gob 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnpewhbnvN
