If David didn't dislike 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90k05VGrIS
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVVxP3Bm4S
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMkzf463et
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJneG4fG5nP
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhL49QSFJw
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlMMnQOvXJ
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx0PikHCgI
would just bite him to death first.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihUxhH7Lof
His shoes were 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur3PpgbyyA
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5rSsjfa6R
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoja2opCzbU
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQRgpmOzjr
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6bpk0UDsx
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKHp3SmUhw
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYMf9TOQC1
from the various insects.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2i0rpV5S
There was a silver 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz4ZnAYzcU
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIPddNx1Bj
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcQo0xN6NC
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jdt2YxJx
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLHiP4vobr
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkwyRfDJ7F
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C1pkVF87s
Thankfully, Gob left 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJAKmXZvY
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaJVOVgnEc
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL22Do1xMZJ
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnqROvZ79N
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRWF0pZ4IW
be. ~705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsFRWJzkr5
While Gob did give a 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMYeW8bJk7
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfYluCEmMp
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V2eOi0YHb
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlJrED3mF8
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN4BOKofHu
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3o7KjOYCu
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1mmGDQAeP
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmmUgbjZF
David nodded, even 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2WfFVheUN
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KC2oywdBg
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItHKICAuyI
voice was getting more excited.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrs1lzWBIE
"From the commonwealth 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ESobZaKl
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVh6gTdfH8
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLQDsgdfgH
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4yaybIMc5
gambling.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FbRrFjhU2
Denise bumbled his head 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYrheKdTnU
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW2jllUgAG
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSZZd88ws5
after..." Denis trailed off 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GSSukcBOB
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpMVFs8UGG
Denise brightened up at 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7yXCZ56P0
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJCeXZc0qv
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAjy3XD3J9
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW00YllIbo
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz10IddsJ3x
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFzijTCTtU
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMCuTKu9gR
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YgL3OLcCv
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAb68FulVk
Denise's eyes widened as705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVqhvBv0tk
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WzB300XWd
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfGkJXq1aN
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUOJPtOtTH
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZPUEbcMv9
"Alright enough chatter 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD0OaRDQ34
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66VPSzuC11
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JwhR167lS
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqiujrzHFI
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Nh0epVQd
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7koxwzpxlp
Gathering all their 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb6cmg2BSI
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaUDUQQli5
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPFi47trx1
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f5eRJ5bU6
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxZuqBzMjT
respectful.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNttMTh8nw
"Sorry, but no." Gob 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcgexbRW1h
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs3hTkxSlz
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOAob1uVmt
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R7fwozoAF
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXL3qJ4rdi
the tough journey but no such luck705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFunvyTXbrg
David was impressed by 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZOAAvgvcg
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfn1Wvc1dz
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGDUV0qUzT
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUXvoRTRkO
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQtPfz8kxT
Gob nodded. "Good you're705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fZqxCmtFX
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CMctpd4gY
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YVaF69fXe
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwiNAz9EZ7
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkMupQKNdd
the ships he served on.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIBxAhFSJX
Everyone began settling 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpMJ1WKUCy
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62kYOGsHpw
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIozuskBCQh
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6GN3uv1wl
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wvGs0BuxL
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi1iPOpocq
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLgdBjB4uz
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO3FTtWzU4
Everyone else finished 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX0uaHnUvC
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP9GRxa4Ks
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZavu5uGB2
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSAC6i941U
the big wide world.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvluVLVgAH
After a while, David 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡany4ItKa4i
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYB2iPRClK
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOgmKI5cpl
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXgqohhD3L
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnBe9llk1Y
some trouble sleeping."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVXYWR079X
Angela looked at the 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡded9GP8CwS
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbHrh5oX7V
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsIIIwjRM1
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G9hrQqhv4
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7W9D5NQuh
"Everyone needs a loving705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhalEiwhx7
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fd4nOY3EY
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lllApGOph
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lo2vQpFr6
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPGsbGekR1
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7V1jOmAxR
David nodded. "Aye I was."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Ux2lqBV5
"But how'd you survive?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjXvqcqS6h
"I'm just lucky I 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZATygvwVg5
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSU0PycITn
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T8PVfY8qE
yourself."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf71p4R975
Angela blushed scarlet 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXTYSZj4gD
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz5XmZbF5I
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1m7a53mcE
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YX3iJLFhe
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpOEX7f84f
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZds7IcFEJW
reading."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡistHTFZVQo
"He sounds like a good 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTmCkncEqQ
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S3ekAPil3
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ012KfLZMYs
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B2Z9LGwBj
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctufMSw5bN
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8MF6ZsFgp
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38oFYjvy3e
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ojRWB3S3L
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOREi8ZgcL6
Angela quickly rubbed 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PbG28ftd9
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeEKEPAv42
that." She added with an awkward laugh.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k5oEA3kTF
"Don't worry about it, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQICJl0DYvo
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIJJXhVQeU
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQRGB6M1Uv
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdEzeiM4Tw
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDLa75iEJu
smile.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvqSjiH8zm
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvpy11gpI0
The next person on watch705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxU8yRG0JA
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstdyr5UxXB
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOApiCmqkAP
name, quietly not to wake up others.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyaIIIVUHB
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOZfEYyr4T
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi6ziqXFrJ
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?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZOsddQJE
"Sure, with me showing 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeWw0TIysb
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fDEVPKTFG
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhnjTIZUXD
scrap."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuZfQ8S5qq
Denis looked down a bit 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWSNtekhTr
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bUEmMRjll
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJnpkdKQKD
what I can or can't do."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kg2azE93O
David nodded. He 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQC2Vudcms
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ssZGifqMH
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DqXPhs3to
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtgDynEyFw
Denis nodded, cheering 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtuApsvFKo
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrV3BRnh6B
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpxWWWgF8f
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw95S0Na9p
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKNgB3Tf0X
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Br0rgGmJ
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3CQEgcuW9
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9viNBWmhT
Either way David wasn't 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9hHwleduz
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMQsbhsU58
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLv3J9iXUF
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hpwTUOTO
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnGS7nG5e0
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAhooarj1P
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR7gbpop31
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dCgI0Gcd7
After a lull in his 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiDIClse16
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdmcCKXza1
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw2Xjf62C3
"Oh! Well we think 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqoA6YAeqw
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89zA8W2TRG
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaYGn8c8EW
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2CspgCJ5m
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvspQ7VObQ
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaMcJLv6dl
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvGL0vBgeB
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yNHLxAQM9
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEaEwC9YME
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh0uutQeZA
happy songs.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeeOMKs88w
After Denis's watch 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53O1u37oZW
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpzoZMmzzC
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJMk0XIZsT
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUKfDXDArt
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSRvaqiC1y
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW03MEIN10
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub5sYXZnZS
With a sight David 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISmfyLOlbK
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMYAn8DO24
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhvMXITcHx
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kB5nDF6gL
As Rock continued his 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9z7OYANlt
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x93voxGD3
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKotfveXXW
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbKT2ebcK3
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2UL5iYLOg
To David's dismay the 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsCsGesHAC
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmENojbQzB
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRqbzE5tIB
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLZpQ8ONM5
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8c4u5AaPm
gruesome journey.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETu2mZVC7w
As soon as he closed his705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz980egMI0
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAiASU7tsx
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPJWV82KWd
"Oh fall off, you cloud 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2IGee7QrB
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MgJNULJnT
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kurF93qjR
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjAQrQQyom
him. 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntDjgHakwY
During the walk Denis 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVKGNB8DAi
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAXOuTpc0y
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaZy2wmXIv
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl28MzoS9eZ
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp1F08GWie
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPrXDhllDz
"We're here." Gob 705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VTeJ5E3VW
