A/N: Finally, I took the time to pull the rest of this set of themes out of my notebook! Took me long enough, didn't it? Well, I just got back from camp(I'm leaving for another week on Saturday, so be warned that I may not update this until after I get back, since I'm going to be finishing something up so I can post it, and trying to turn out a decent chapter of Piper's Rain by Friday night…) Anyway, I don't like this set very much, to be honest, but, enjoy them all the same, and don't forget to review!
Shapes
Rosto missed Beka fiercely when she was in Port Caynn. The last glance he had of her was of the two shapes in the distance as she and Goodwin rode away. Many times, he wondered if that sight was enough to keep him going.
Triangle
On Beka's first day as a second year Dog, one of the new Puppies hit on her. He just didn't know that she was with the Rogue. Rosto was not pleased. That was the last time he hit on fellow Dog, after a rusher delivered a note that said 'triangles in emotions are not good for you. Stay away from Beka Cooper. Elsewise, you may find out the hard way about triangles and dagger tips.'
Square
Beka watched him square off with a challenger. Every time she watched one of his duels, she feared for his life. She had good reason to do so: the life of the Rogue was a dangerous one. Still, all the worry was worth it when he came back alive.
Circle
One thing about a ring, Beka thought to herself, examining the one Rosto had given her, is that it never ends. It's unbroken; and goes on forever…
Moon
Watching the moon was a favorite pastime of Beka and Rosto's. When they were separated by distance, they would look up, and hope that the other was looking up at the same moon.
King
Rosto was a king. Not a noble one, but a king all the same. He held himself like one, and acted like one. He was the King of the Rogue, and (much to his pleasure) the king of Beka's heart.
Heart
Beka had stolen Rosto's heart the moment he'd met her. It just took him a while to realize it. He was in love with the shy but feisty Puppy, and there wasn't anything he could do about it.
Diamond
When Rosto had come to Corus, the charm on his earring had been a silver skull. Eventually, the skull disappeared, to be replaced by a small blue diamond that just happened to be the exact color of Beka's eyes. It was just a small sign of the change she'd wrought in him.
Queen
If she'd been a rogue instead of a Dog, Beka would have been Queen of the Ladies of the Rogue, maybe even the Queen of the Rogue, ruling with Rosto, or holding the throne in her own right. She didn't mind though. She liked being a Dog better, and who was to know if their love would still have existed if she hadn't become a Dog?
Joker
Neither of them was really a joker, but of the two, Rosto was known to be the one who loved to play pranks on his housemates when the opportunity presented itself. That, and he had to have a really good prank. After he started pranking everyone in the house (mind you, he wasn't the one who actually started it. Phelan had dropped paint over the rail onto him several weeks before.), things began to get out of hand. Then he got himself burned by Kora again. When he came downstairs a little singed, he just pointed to his friends and said 'Not a word' before disappearing once more. None of them could help but laugh, Beka most of all.
