TRIG SH / SI — Chapter 3 & onwards have injury & healing scenes based on my knowledge of SH / SI
The story DeeDee's Secret in FF Net by Emrys-Is-Merlin is what started off this story. It had me wondering if DeeDee would really let go of things so very easily ... whatever it was Swifnick might have to say about things.
The Road Ravens Swiftnick, Moses and DeeDee were crouched in the underbrush just below the slope of the old road. While they waited for their victim, Swiftnick mused to himself: it really had to be some confident kind of coach-driver to come along here ... and crafty ... but not nearly crafty enough to slip by him of course (it was a mere detail that it had been DeeDee who had detected the coach first). In a very few moments the momentum of the coach would crunch to a crawl as it clambered upslope and that was when they would strike. By the sound of it; the coach was already struggling along under some weight ... which promised them some wealth. He peered out; poised to give the signal that would set them springing into action ... then he was waving wildly at his cohorts to creep back into the bush, to get further back, to be safe.
No sooner were they back in the snicket, where they'd secreted all their steeds, than DeeDee descended on him, demanding to know: « What happened there then? »
Swiftnick was swift to explain: « Didn't you see it, that was one of the old guards; I don't fancy tackling one of them, a fellow could get hurt that way ... I mean I don't want you fellows to get hurt. »
DeeDee raised her eyebrows; rolled her eyes; tossed her head; gave a disgusted grunt and then swung up into her saddle, without another word — pointedly riding off in the eopposite direction to the other two. Swiftnick let her go; she'd see that he was right when she settled. Being a famous outlaw chief he had to make these kinds of decisions for the good of his skin ... for the good of his gang. It was the burden of command.
