    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    "Well, it's not all bad..." Steven mumbled. Sure, he'd had to fake it a few times out of politeness and apparent social norms, but it's not like he properly missed drinking. Hell, it wouldn't even be the first time he'd had to do so and that was back when he had a body that was capable. ...Okay...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    The searing light faded and... It worked! Oh, it worked! Steven's heart soared with relief. Articuno seemed to barely even break a sweat, how powerful was such a Saint? The soft, metallic lilt of Amida's voice, free from the Radiant corruption, sent a smile dancing across Steven's expression...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Steven had just blinked himself back to the present, warding off the woozy feeling of attempting to project himself an entire continent away (telepathy was not his forte, that's for sure), when he found himself face to face with Odette. A very, very upset Odette. He recoiled from her on...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    At first, Steven flooded with relief bolstered by Koa's howl, and he offered a grin back. But then, as if something had disrupted gravity for a moment, reality lurched, spitting the missing Wayfarers back into existence along with her. The Sun. The cracked, leaking shell of what remained of the...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Metang had no breath to hold, but still Steven held it in suspense. Watching as Kimiko climbed to the gunship, as Gladion called over the radio. Waiting. Hoping-- as one row of the airship's guns slowed to a halt. But the others didn't stop, they were aiming, and the radio's voice scrawled to...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    "Now, wait a minute--" Steven called out to Estelle in an attempt to stay her blade, but faltered. It was true, the Wardens never met most of the Wayfarers before so their uncertainty was understandable, but the more he looked at the battlefield, the more he realized he didn't have a clear...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Up and up and up. The climb to the top of the mesa went by swiftly, all things considered. The Wardens were well trained for such a climb and more, and Brisa, well, she loped along on longer, more powerful legs than she had mere minutes ago. As for him, he didn't really need legs, so it wasn't...

    Sunward Fort Sunward

    It was like the desert let out a collective exhale. Or maybe that was just the way he felt right now. Either way, it was finally time to allow himself a laugh. In the urgency of it all he just walked right up to a literal Colonel of the Commonwealth Army and started making demands without so...

    Sunward Fort Sunward

    Steven found himself ducking once more as another sudden sound came from the row of artillery. For a second, he wondered if the first shot had lit a spark in the troops, and they'd fired on the fort once again. But no, this sound was different, not to mention-- "Brisa!" The dust cleared and she...

    Sunward Fort Sunward

    It was like the scene played out in slow motion. And Steven was frozen in time. One minute, the Colonel was listening, actually listening to his half-baked plan to avert sure disaster. And the next there was shouting, baring of fangs-- that damned Arcanine Captain-- and then thunder. Whatever...

    Sunward Fort Sunward

    Some of the tension melted from Steven's posture as Watershed relented, if only slightly. He sent a quick peek towards Brisa to see where she'd ended up. She looked ready to handle whatever the army could throw at them, but gods if they could get out of this without needing to... Mollify first...

    Sunward Fort Sunward

    Of course the Colonel's stance on foreign policy would be as thick as his shell... Steven sent a surprised look at Brisa as she dashed off. 'Keep at it'? How was he supposed to get through to someone so set in their ways, all they saw the Wardens as were enemies? That kind of zeal wouldn't...

    Sunward Fort Sunward

    Well, that certainly hadn't been the reaction he'd anticipated. It's true the Wayfarers weren't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but he sure didn't see any Commonwealth soldiers helping to fight against Cipher and Alexander... Steven tried not to bristle at the Arcanine's tone-- they weren't...

    Sunward Fort Sunward

    "Civilians of a sort," Steven said, holding his claws out and upturned. A pacifying gesture. "Though not the sort you should be turning away right now. Not when our business is as she says. We're with the Wayfarers." Here he paused for a moment to see if the name meant anything to the...

    Sunward Fort Sunward

    Steven slowed to a stop next to Brisa, his eyes wide at the scene before them. Guns. Artillery. A fort of peaceful Wardens who were in no way ready for a full scale military siege. Not good. "Plan?" He gave a weak chuckle. "No plan. A concept of a plan, maybe. Thank you for your restraint, by...

    Threadmarks: [Ch08 Finale] ~ Holding the Fort

    Steven peered up at the Sunrest Mesa, and at the inevitable clash that was about to take place upon it, and hesitated. He'd promised Aurelia the Wayfarers would help the Wardens. Yes, that meant protecting the Living Sun, but it also meant not leaving the Wardens to deal with a bunch of angry...

    With Aurelia's concern about the Commonwealth army encampment nearby, Steven reaches out to Lucien and the Frontier Town leadership to see what they know about the growing military presence in Sunward. His hope is that something can be done to help ease the tension there, either by diplomatic...

    As soon as Steven's business in Tyrrier concludes, he heads to Sunward to call on Aurelia once again. "Hail, Day-Captain," he greets her warmly, "though I wish I were here with happier news. There is a group of individuals from the Commonwealth, a faction of the Covenant of Light, who intend to...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Steven's gaze fell to the tabletop, his claws tightening around the heat rock in his hands. Laura hadn't exactly meant it as a jab, but it still didn't stop the sudden rush of shame from coursing through him. He very well could have done without that in front of not one, but two people, thank...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Steven continued to stare at Ralsen, searching for something even if he didn't know what. They were the same. Two souls with nowhere to return to. Two souls that made a choice. Finally, he broke his stunned silence. "Then... then why? Why are you so eager to go back home? If... if it...
