If David didn't dislike 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVL8xws8KJ
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAFqouoJbH
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTdbbNMwSh
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KTPCVDplE
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJId6nk4duI
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFyYu4Cujx
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbgZMT6Jfc
would just bite him to death first.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvAsW1ICtO
His shoes were 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulzA2OOFpX
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjocQy1ujgo
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mKsC6DRE8
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPODQROlyt
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06mGRVU7CR
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4nlkzgT0w
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVceERERzw
from the various insects.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzaZt6V2RX
There was a silver 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ESHjXQhv
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JD4DXwOzF
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JYUBF7Yzm
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4EMHU0xSM
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPGAU7fp3s
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK81cwLTer
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlnTuUfQa4
Thankfully, Gob left 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf08LlWi7pa
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDK7L4JmJK
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvPqhsEVdi
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUraTbeZnXs
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQNSejj0TU
be. ~637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR7jyjYI5S
While Gob did give a 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iK3I9CDA2
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAPUVE34UK
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEHPt7gZnG
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ehJeD4n1b
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKQvLBnxCu
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgIJfGpkA5
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOM4P33pVP
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I92UKYvUC
David nodded, even 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qMlNTQ2aF
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4FjthneTy
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgc4nOJj1U
voice was getting more excited.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TzGTUaHO0
"From the commonwealth 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zzk8QM0rA
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwsQZwsria
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4zZmguzWx
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHlvGZda8w
gambling.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYATJbzQuIm
Denise bumbled his head 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2kaTngJU3
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWiNHkSNUU
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaqOSBky9b
after..." Denis trailed off 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmYO6Hwhio
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtSrhmKvhV
Denise brightened up at 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOyLexwNWn
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmG7FDy8ax
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4UDA5n140
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOSmDgyNbs
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusLbUgSR5z
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL4rtxlTfT
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXojYl3Ztsx
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgor0DI6nn
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uG2RvVm4x
Denise's eyes widened as637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pYOdadqHp
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr8JTNEPvQ
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXoFd0uOEz
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDu1XtQzKh
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEpQgXFh4q
"Alright enough chatter 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WG9L8Vi6U
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybOVrSBDSD
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0SJ7nZUPJ
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVkPRbE0rW
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIyBndZ70t
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwNqMrOdb0
Gathering all their 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9FH67A4tn
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1EziBqhKl
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYEeqj1pvB
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sRlQcjW9y
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf5LH0iEK0
respectful.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey0kUsIaPU
"Sorry, but no." Gob 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0XQjWlAyN
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbwDJV1e32
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfnyHbYyDi
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyZjPd7hse
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK6kYmoiYW
the tough journey but no such luck637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegMsamfkzS
David was impressed by 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB35Tw8SgD
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs6TQFtg3v
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJiMz5HLL
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1jrgkuJaO
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk2ecIMq7f
Gob nodded. "Good you're637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8gmikIEfR
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbSdqlJAzh
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B5lD76j5m
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFhCzOPK34
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNjl237IUH
the ships he served on.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFPZWQP0dD
Everyone began settling 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQhXCp2dAM
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxVdERc6oQ
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfEaHf835F
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF8IX3jxUr
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWag3AYQZSU
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL2CG8nuk8
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTMKYwiIWE
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixe7H9wiWP
Everyone else finished 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOibeFUMinR
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMEczTLpSS
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2H2TuPpq6
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeci2hMjQd
the big wide world.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC20ileEpWR
After a while, David 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0XUBex0wx
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAlA9hRWXi
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1go447UHO
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNEyvhDC5O
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKyLzfpcGN
some trouble sleeping."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmD5Wunq65
Angela looked at the 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkzq9Ggmux
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ktHUFUXB
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC9QFAqHXG
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9LEP3DqoO
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQg9hZIMej
"Everyone needs a loving637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo4HPxTV0T
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4HUCkbgci
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5SslNWTSc
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1vpXRNFl2
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdv7KChGbB
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizTq31OjVX
David nodded. "Aye I was."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGluDI5ZzFA
"But how'd you survive?"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviBrgMTrMc
"I'm just lucky I 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z58gNgDkA
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWnTFUWgeD
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqyNwg6rRn
yourself."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqOL5mjhDP
Angela blushed scarlet 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8avcswXFrR
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLEYOhghL5
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OqZp8WsXs
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kkWKHe5Xb
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB7A1TNhPn
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4IDojwumF
reading."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM9BX0Cmgk
"He sounds like a good 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkspfkgkp9
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBX6iwKebp
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPBPT9F1hh
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fNsYO1JMo
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVHXI8BNNe
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOdDtsEVnb
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlF6sFiB3o
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJWpSGzrya
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY08ReVbEp
Angela quickly rubbed 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1gqHTVJXc
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FCvbVohRH
that." She added with an awkward laugh.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshG92RLsyP
"Don't worry about it, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTr4jy13XO
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdJcgcImC8
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA5hhWMUOF
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WLxOuylh7
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV4skIl4Sp
smile.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpdTgyQU9G
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfdID0pl05
The next person on watch637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoU7L5Ft4s
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJmnQWruID
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9nhfUKCuz
name, quietly not to wake up others.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvFg5c4rtB
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJSMb7vVNw
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhBXOzPfz
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?"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI5FZmheSq
"Sure, with me showing 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K6BbzDeVg
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJimSMnF0M
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7s3KZZVh
scrap."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnDJr9a277
Denis looked down a bit 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSt5rUbDf2
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPQ7l8xSNx
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hqvbGkuSO
what I can or can't do."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWC6Gs340Q
David nodded. He 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKEdIH1roK
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDxIDPjXiZ
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CYURgxkr3
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz50l4MS0y
Denis nodded, cheering 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUX6MkwoSu
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0mPMvyt6P
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzUTmzt6un
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktTIuYSk7K
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyCKASFE8h
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXfZM2HwmV
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwlR4n8OzH
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCYQjwTSRu
Either way David wasn't 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWUjsnpEZw
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5WFJWXSj9
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HhfcAp9FT
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4G0lniIqR
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMNRm1LOk1
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ODTzzK7Z
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPukumz9YPp
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhNwqUHQUZ
After a lull in his 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIZB78SnbU
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpb1ZqysLJ
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2MrkCOoiD
"Oh! Well we think 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnybJZ6CS4L
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbCcbowMUU
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipehSVEUKI
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn0wfHfBG8
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGi8kr0jz1
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpZSfu9cQb
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx9cfBJBRM
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U6MP3G3uq
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9SG9kOUj1
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdcvQIZO4
happy songs.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGzjir5YBp
After Denis's watch 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo7zChpyVi
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgNMuZ7kJF
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeAOsg6EwU
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDz19lR00L
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZOkiM8l9l
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPXyrPM5sV
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPSc5B0WFd
With a sight David 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxB2TiaGtN
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs0simGdeC
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5rw2JJkVy
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm2301nhEq
As Rock continued his 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmngnVMedof
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEis0wyuEfA
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RGlgq8CAt
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dH7aPaw3P
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sNoWrCzFf
To David's dismay the 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJxOpxDRkW
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0wekkS5vN
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwUHdLVEQH
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGBfxgwUHI
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcTvghMEjo
gruesome journey.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDpQpWzKEb
As soon as he closed his637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULj3y9zmYD
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV4CStN4e2
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uttaycJC7
"Oh fall off, you cloud 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSQsiU2LHD
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9yDhqE6rf
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuYxKTOhOu
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4AcN2dFur
him. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB2IifnOMY
During the walk Denis 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAwfryayuh
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WeeC09vbV
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8fQWVaAOV
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56JjBW1FP8
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfiKfikodW
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrItqiKCrT
"We're here." Gob 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzs9EaW1Zh
