Here's the next 'chapter' I guess. This one is just 20 sentences from prompt words I'm picking randomly out of the dictionary…I'll get the next drabble-thing up sometime soon…real soon.

Thank you to FlowersOfAeris and Lina mogknight for their reviews. You guys really made my day and so this thing is dedicated to them as the first two reviewers. THANK YOU!

And now I'll shut up. Warnings are the same as before, mentions of slash (not so much in this one) and maybe a few curses of various sorts Enjoy.

1.) Inarch

Arc watched Luneth and Ingus fight, each standing on opposite ends of the fire, he heard Luneth's voice raise harshly and Ingus' soften dangerously, both their eyes flashing in the odd shifting light of the flame while they performed this odd dance of theirs, and wondered how they'd become so stubbornly intertwined.

2.) Expiry

As they drew closer and closer to their old homeland the impending sense of separation hovered over them like an acid rain cloud; intense, unstoppable and undoubtedly painful.

3.) Room mate

One of the few times they stayed at an inn and Luneth had to share a room with that pompous knight Ingus, Arc had to tackle him before he jumped out the open window and then Luneth remembered that Arc would be sharing the room with them too and everything was alright.

4.) Realist

Until Ingus pointed out that the window was on the first story and the worst that would have happened is that Luneth would have gotten stuck in the bush outside, after that the fight was inevitable and they ended up sleeping outside anyway.

5.) Freeze

Refia once said to Arc, while Luneth and Ingus were off training, that if got too close to Ingus you'd probably freeze, this was at the beginning of the journey and a year later Arc would cook a stew (spicy), look at her, smile, and say "would you like some ice to cool that soup?"

6.) Intervene

It was always Refia or Arc who would stop and soothe (or pummel) the fights between Luneth and Ingus out of existence, it was probably because of this that when Refia smacked Arc and Arc threw a book at Refia the two eldest, after trying (and failing miserably and painfully) to separate the two, went and hid for the entire duration of the fight.

7.) Masquerade

It took a lot of fast-talking and obnoxiousness on Luneth's side with some backup from Refia's sour temperament and silent treatment to convince Ingus to allow them to go to Prince Alus' masquerade ball; Ingus would never tell them that it was Arc's coming quietly to him late at night and looking all shy and unsure and asking 'it wouldn't be too much trouble to go, would it?' That finally did him in.

8.) Costume

It took even longer to convince Arc to come out of his room the night of the ball and it took Luneth marching in there with Refia on his heels to drag the blushing boy out of his closet, Ingus' jaw had almost dropped before he'd quickly grabbed Arc and shoved him back inside the room with orders to just wear one of his job outfits.

9.) Confusion

Luneth didn't fully understand why Ingus had decked him in the jaw while Arc was re-changing; after all he'd thought Arc had looked adorable in the maid costume Refia had helped him pick out, besides it wasn't like Luneth would have actually let his best friend out of the house wearing it regardless of what Refia was trying to say.

10.) Priority

Ingus had seen a lot, being a warrior for the king it was unavoidable, but with everything he'd been ordered to do he'd always kept to his code: the kingdom and the safety of the royal family came first, always; then Arc had come along with two people who might just be friends and now he was wondering just hen his priorities had changed.

11.) Genteel

Arc was without argument the most polite and well-mannered of all the Warriors of Light and as a result people often took him as the weakest, until he took his staff and clocked you over the head while sincerely apologizing for the headache you'd have when you were conscious again.

12.) Perception

When this happened outsiders agreed that it was probably the most frightening thing they'd ever seen and steered clear, the Warriors of Light, however, laughed their asses off while Arc blinked in confusion at his friends from where he was holding a pack of ice to the guys head.

13.) Protection

Luneth had always been a protector, to Arc, anybody and everybody, so for him it seemed natural to protect this new, strange family of his.

Refia had never protected anyone and had been raised to be very self-reliant so it naturally left her confused when she pounded a guy into the ground for touching Arc the wrong way.

Ingus had always protected something, not out of a need like Luneth but because it was his duty and it had never been anything more than that, so when Luneth was thrown back into a tree and didn't move he wondered what the burning, sickening feeling in his stomach was when he stepped between Luneth and the monster that was closing in.

Arc had always been protected, never the protector, so when he was left alone with an unconscious Refia and three monsters he didn't know what kept him going, waiting for Luneth and Ingus to get back, when all logic said he should have died well before now.

14.) Aeronautics

Out of them all Refia had taken the greatest interest in the airship and had taught herself everything about how it was made and how to control it; so it frustrated her to no end when she realized that she was too short to do actually any steering (she refused to comment when anybody mentioned her atrocious sense of direction.)

15.) Height

When Luneth made the mistake of laughing at the fiery girl when Ingus took over the wheel Arc barely arrived in time to keep Refia from throwing Luneth overboard.

16.) Cognizance

Arc was the un-official scholar of the group and dealt with all things bookish so he was naturally used to taking in knowledge about absolutely everything and storing it away for later use, as a result the rest of the group quietly feared the unknown amounts of knowledge he'd picked up about them.

17.) Siblings

Except Luneth who sighed, shook his head and made sure to secure all incriminating 'outside' items in his pouch, not in fear that Arc would snoop, no, he was pretty certain Arc would rip himself apart for accidentally opening the wrong bento, but because he'd grown up with the perceptive little bugger and knew that if he didn't carefully keep his possessions out of sight Arc would find out about them; he always did.

18.) Unstable

After all they'd done it made sense for them to be a little insane because you just didn't save the world (or even the continent) and not have the stress, blood, death, life and pain (of all kinds) that went with it, but it was okay because they had each other and who fucking cared what the world thought when you lurked quietly in a hotel room with your comrades/family/friends/all and more curled protectively around you.

19.) Loyalty

They were loyal to each other, once they might have been loyal to parents, or villagers or a princess and her kingdom, but that was in the Before and this was Now and none of those people had put their lives on the line for them or stitched them up when their guts were spilling from their stomach, or held their hand while spells and fever wracked their body and twisted their perceptions; so to Others their true loyalty was the one thing they would never have.

20.) Finale

Over, it was over and they had decided to not go home, where barely remembered faces would be unrecognizable and where people would have died and new ones would have been born…and they decided it was better this way, together.
