So Done With Them

He was a more frequent guest in Arkadia these days. With his grievous injuries and then the troubles after the city of light – and with new friends made in an unlikely time like that, Roan was there sometimes. He had to be there, to make sure it all went smoothly. Some of his people just couldn’t be trusted. Some of THEIR people just couldn’t be trusted either. They were so willing to change their mind faster than he could braid his damn hair. And they were like children. At least sometimes. There were some kindred spirits among skaikru, but they were far and few in between. He found himself not disagreeing with a young man, so when Roan got food, he joined him at a table, frowning about two other Arkers.

“You would think after months on the ground some of your people would understand that they can’t touch everything.” But they still discussed wanting to touch a certain animal they met outside. By what he heard that was a bad idea in itself, but he wouldn’t stop them either. They said you shouldn’t stop people that were moving. So he wouldn’t stop them. “Those two over there.” He nodded towards them. “Are disgussing picking up an animal. I have half a mind to tell them that the animals bite kills faster than they could bring it back here. But it does look kind of adorable. If you don’t know it can kill you, of course.”
