Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of A Lingering Ember. Enjoy the 3900-word chapter. I do not own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Mistral.)
Ollie sighed, pulling his coat over both him and Trivia. He sighed and shook his head once more as he paused.
There was something to be said with it all. He fell silent as he paused to think of what was going on.
"Are you ok?" Ollie asked himself more than Trivia as he paused to think of what was going on in his mind before he sighed once more. "The more of them we deal with? The problems we must deal with." Ollie sighed to himself, rubbing at his eyes.
He had a lot more to deal with for now and cracked his fingers. he sighed to himself once more as he paused once more and then thought of it.
Ollie sighed as Trivia yawned, tapping her feet atop his as if she was playing a game once more, and then thought of what was going on before he seemed to be relaxed.
He leaned on the wall before he relaxed once more, closing his damaged eyes as he cracked his fingers… An idea like this was going to be dealt with for now as he paused to think of it all and then sighed.
Ollie thought of it all as Trivia's eyes fluttered open and she paused to think of what was growing more. Trivia seemed to be smiling for now at the end of it all once more.
"We are going to be landing soon. We have a lot of work left to deal with for now… If Maroon causes problems? I am going to scream." Ollie stated before he sighed and thought of every single little motive.
He had plenty of damn ideas as he sighed to himself as he wished to think of what was going for now.
All his options were going to be leading to more trouble once more.
He had a lot more left to deal with for now. Ollie was silent for now, unsure of himself at the time being.
Such an idea had not yet seemed to be hatched from the bowels of it. The idea of this was more and more and more chaotic once more now and for good reason.
They had a LOT more to deal with it all now and always. Something about their next move bothered them now.
Trivia seemed to yawn to think of what was growing on her mind as she paused to try and take in everything once more as it was all thought of.
Trivia looked up at Ollie but she remembered that he was dealing with something else, a chaos which had not yet lasted so easily… Now? Now? He had no idea now as to what was going on.
An idea like this was going on it all for the end of the idea had been something else to think of what was growing on her mind.
She had an idea of something else, something far grander than he could give her. it made sense, he was a thief and she was… A nobody as far as he knew.
Trivia paused to think of it all differently. All such ideas were to come from it all now, an idea like this was too much.
They had fought… Would fight and it would be interesting all the same.
As warriors? He was asked to do bad things.
Still? He could finally decide that this was easier said than done.
"Are you ok?" Ollie asked before he looked to the side, something that he was beginning to hate. "We have a lot more left to deal with… I can put the autopilot on but we are going to have to land soon." Ollie stated before he looked to the side.
Something about that almost made him pause and think about it all. Trivia looked at him, pausing as Ollie sighed and reached over to press a button.
"Just because I cannot see does not mean I cannot tell where things are. I have been on a bullhead for a while." Ollie stated, sighing to himself more than her.
He knew better than her, he knew what was going on and he was eager to think of it all as a game.
She looked to the side and she was all too easily distracted. Ollie hummed to himself and then relaxed, content in the idea that something yet had come and gone.
"This is going to be too much now, way too much," Ollie muttered.
(2 hours later)
Trivia was all too much to deal with it all when it all needed to be understood. She knew more and more with each little option when all of it was distracted for now.
Trivia hummed as both slowly paused, and looked at each other, Ollie sighed and cracked his fingers, a pause within him made him think of something else.
Ollie seemed to be relaxing as he glanced over at her, thinking of it all as a small little game and an idea that he had not been able to deal with for now.
Ollie sighed and then paused once more as Trivia skipped towards the door and she paused towards them before she looked at him as she wished to try and understand it.
Ollie looked over at her before she relaxed once more. She was all too easily beaten into the ground.
They had a lot more to try and deal with. They both were beaten down once more and it was all thrown to the side.
The exhaustion was all written off across his face and it was all too much for the end of this chaos and they had been beaten into the ground.
She seemed almost taken with the idea as she paused and then thought of it all as a small price to pay for certain things.
And he was tired, bored even of this all… Now? Now he wished for rest and he would have it… He would find little in the way of said rest now, not at all eager for such a thing.
He was also bored, too curious as to how this would go and when it would end, he wanted an end to this and he would get one.
He was all too much to try and figure it out…. And the sound of her dainty bare feet reminded him he was on a schedule as much as he was amused.
"I am coming… Your boots are still in the corner, you know." Ollie stated before he sighed and then thought of it all for now.
They had a lot more to deal with. Ollie was all too much and then relaxed, yawning to himself before he slowly pushed himself to his feet.
Ollie sighed and then cracked his fingers and then paused to think of what was growing on his mind once more as he sighed to himself.
She was all too much to deal with for now… There was a silence for now and then paused to it.
Trivia hummed and then leaped down onto the grass. She had a lot more to understand but she was silent, pausing to himself before he sighed to himself as he slowly walked to the side.
They had a lot more to deal with for now as she paused to think of what was going on for now.
Trivia hummed as Ollie leaped down to her before he glanced at her and slowly looked over at the end of it. She was an odd woman for now and it bothered him for now.
"Are you ok? We must go at the end of the day?" Trivia seemed to hear before he looked over to her and then paused to think. "We have a lot more to deal with for now. Trivia seemed to be dealt with for now." Ollie stated before he hummed.
He cracked a smile, both thinking for a moment and allowing it to slowly end… Before both slowly started to think of it all now and they were to fight, a fight where something else would become too unbearable… Now? Now it had to be ended.
"You good? Because we still must unload some of this stuff… Soon, not now, not when Mr. Grumpy is dealing with the fact that we still must get out of here soon." Ollie stated as Trivia giggled.
"I heard that… You should not be so rude to your friends, Ollie. You never know who might need to be dealing with something heavily important." Ollie heard as he paused then sighed as if he was talking to a brick wall for the time being.
He was all too tired now and he did not care much for why. He simply knew there was a lot more left to distract him for now.
He was tired, and so was she. Both were a step away from death before and nothing short of chaos would have stopped that.
Still? Ollie would not have allowed them to die anytime soon. No, they still had to win.
He looked over at Trivia and, well, turned his head. He was all too much to deal with.
"You should know damn well that trying to screw me over is bad for business." Ollie heard as he snorted.
"Do I need to remind you that every damn time you have gotten in trouble? I have been the reason you have not been dead for years." Ollie stated before he sighed, tapping his weapon on the ground.
He would not have allowed her to get hurt but it bothered him for now. They had a lot more left to understand for the end of it as he crossed his arms, Trivia tapping her foot on the ground as she paused, tapping in a rhythm that made Ollie hum to himself.
"She can and will kill you," Ollie stated, thumbing a finger toward Trivia before he hummed.
He was all too much thrown off now and he had a lot more to try and think of what was done and what was going to occur.
He also knew Maroon was not stupid. He was one of the best weapon makers on the planet which made his skills invaluable.
The difference? He knew damn well that the Maroon he was used to also wanted to fight and he wanted to hinge all his bets on.
As a soldier? He would have done better with it all to Relax. Now? Now he barely knew Maroon when it came down to how to relax and how to fight.
He thought too much as to how this was to end for now. Maroon's footsteps slowly faded away with Ollie seemed to think of it.
"Do you want to kill him?" Ollie asked before he looked to the side and then thought of what was boring him.
He was too distracted by it all when it came down to it as it was all said and done.
"This is going to be a very long and annoying day, isn't it?" Ollie asked before shaking his head as he sighed and then paused to take a few seconds.
It was clear as Trivia tapped on the ground that what had gone on was beyond even them. They had a lot more to deal with, a lot more to hope would become of it all now. An idea beyond this was something that he had left to deal with.
The chaos which he could not have done without for now as they relaxed, would not have ended anytime soon, not something they could have ended it on.
They had a lot more to deal with for now and this? All of this was just too much left to have done now and forever.
He sighed, eager to go… And considering he had time to go? He knew he could go. Ollie simply took a deep breath before he looked to the side.
The idea that they were going to be on a leash had bothered him but if Maroon did not screw them? They were free now when it came down to it.
He had a lot more left to deal with for now. Ollie tilted his head to the side as Trivia's tapping became more rhythmic as if her foot had become a metronome.
"You didn't get your boots at all?" Ollie stated before she signed a yes to him. "We must go. We are done here; Maroon will get us the damn money when we are done… And he knows I am not going to ask him for another favor." Ollie stated before he sighed and then shook his head.
He was tired and he was eager to get back to work, he would deal with this all for now and he would enjoy it for now… They had a lot of details left to distract them from it.
"Are you ok?" Trivia signed, bracing on her tiptoes so she could sign better on his hand.
"Trying to be when it comes to it… I am exhausted and I do not know what is going on now. All of it is bothering me." Ollie stated before he started to climb back into what came down to it.
There was a lot more he could do, he had no friends before now, and now? Trivia appeared to be the furthest thing from an ally but she was also the only ally he had to be honest.
She also made him happiest, for now, too interested in what was going down the line. She also did not seem to take crap from a single person and he? He liked that to be quite honest, he enjoyed the idea of such a different thing.
He had no such idea as to what would become when it was all said and done when it came down to it all now. Those sorts of ideas were bothersome now and it would continue to remain horrid when they reached it.
Trivia tapped on the hatch before she backflipped into it, Ollie could only roll his damaged eyes when it came down to it. There was exhaustion at the time when it was all said and done.
He shook his head and then paused to try and think of what was to occur for now. They had a lot more left to distract them from the future and he knew more and more that the idea was something else.
There was something else on his mind. He could not have dealt with that fear when it came down to it as he cracked his fingers and then paused once more, he took a deep breath and shook his head.
"This is going to be a long, annoying, painful day." He muttered to himself before cracking a smile and forcing himself up the ramp and into the bullhead as he prepared for the next mission they would need to deal with.
All of it? All of this was something more than he would wish to deal with now.
There was something else to deal with, a desire to do better, to be better, and he? He for all his wisdom could not afford to fail her.
He was tired, beaten down, and exhausted to his core, his head felt ragged and his bones ached. He needed sleep and enough medicine to kill a small town if he was going to relax, he knew all of this was something else, something cryptic and too much for him to endure.
He was more scared of her than ever but at the same time? He also knew this woman was going to be either the death of him or something else.
He was thrown off when it came to the coincidence that had led to them being in massive danger when it came down to it.
There was something at the end of the road that surprised him when it came to their antics… Their tricks.
There was a lot more left to deal with for the time being, he had a lot of things to deal with for now… An idea like this had cut deeper and deeper when it was all said and done.
She glanced at him, pausing to think of what was growing on her mind when this was all said and done wonders for it all now.
"You know, the more we have left to deal with? The more we both know this is not going to be very fun to deal with," Ollie said, slowly stumbling forward. "Triv? You do know I still have to walk, right? I need a second to get used to everything around me." Ollie stated before he sighed to himself.
He was the most eager to get to work… Something about it all was too much to deal with.
She? She surprised Ollie in ways he did not believe he could be surprised at… Now? Now Ollie did not at all know what to say and do.
Now? Now both were distracted, an idea brewing inside him both scared and relaxed for now.
He slowly climbed aboard the bullhead, Trivia tapping her feet on the ground, too much had been distracting them for the next few seconds. All he had left to distract it for now at the time was much more than he had wished.
The chaos was something he had not yet distracted him for now… He had a lot more left to deal with.
All the fun? All the insanity? It wore down on him the more he was allowed to think properly. It was not something that he would have allowed himself to distract himself from now.
Not yet… Not when it was not yet over when it came down that line at the end of it. There was more left to decide was coming to relax for now when it was all said and done when it came down to it.
There was a lot more to distract them, there was more than before as he paused to try and think of it all for now as he thought of it all.
He was eager to get back to work, to understand more beyond the fire, more beyond the chaos when all was said and done.
Something about that? About it all amused him as he walked with Neo, he knew her of all now and for a good reason.
There was a lot more to try to get through before he stomached it.
She had a lot more to distract her as she let Ollie climb into the craft before he thought of what was growing in her brain as she cracked her fingers.
They had a lot more to try and think of when it came down to that level of idea.
They had plenty left to distract them as she thought of it. Trivia paused and tapped her foot, the same rhythm, the same fire that she had gone on. The song on her mind, the song on her mind, the song she wanted to dance with.
This was a long game left to distract her from it all. No idea what was going on and she was eager to think of the future.
Fire, death, chaos… There was pain at the time being, a time to deal with for now as they thought of it.
She knew more and more that Ollie would have brought fire into the world. She brought pain, she brought hate, and suffering to enemies she wanted to hurt at the time as he thought of it all.
There was not going to be peace, there would be only violence and violence she would desire, so much violence for now at the time being.
There was something else to distract them for now. Trivia with her violence and he with the chaos for now as of the time being.
There were a lot of angles they would not have to be done. She was too thrown off by the way it had come crashing to the ground and an idea they could have gone forward.
Now? Now Neo wanted to go forward and it was all being distracted at the time.
She continued tapping her foot, too distracted, too bored of the next idea they had left on their mind to execute.
They would be unstoppable combined in her mind, unstoppable when it came to how well one fought and one would die.
"Relax. Relax and this was going to end shortly soon, anything worse and it will be the end of you when it comes to that sort of thing." Trivia heard as she paused, too much distracted now.
There was a lot she could not have done and that? That would have distracted her now, it would have stayed very different now and very chaotic. Something inside Ollie told him she was entirely.
There were a lot of different ideas to deal with for now and it had been too distracted for now as he paused to let it all come crashing down.
Neo hummed while she looked to the side… Something about it all had been tiresome for now, something within her made her eager to think.
She tapped her foot on the ground, her eyes switching from two different colors. She looked at him as he slowly walked over towards the cockpit, eager to get to work.
Neo fell silent, she wanted out of Trivia. She wanted blood, to cut, to kill them as he paused to think of what was growing on his mind.
She was scared, she was eager, bloodthirsty. The amount of rage and desire to kill was growing to be worth what they had left to deal with.
She had a lot more to deal with for now, something to distract her for the time being.
She was about to say something when the sound of gunshots in their direction was heard, it was clear something else to deal with for now.
Something was bothering her as she grinned, however. There was something else to distract her for something like this… An idea like this was all too much to distract them for the end of the match.
"Damn it, Maroon. Can never stop causing damage when it comes to paying your dues." Ollie stated before he sighed to himself. "We have work left to deal with taking the rest of the bad guys," Ollie stated as he spun his weapon.
All of it cut him deeper and deeper, something about the pain he was dealing with would not cease, it would not drop or end the way it should have been. The only way it could have ended was with the death of both.
There was a lot more to try and think of what was growing on his mind as he had a lot more pain inside now.
He also knew he could not just allow her to suffer and die, he could not just allow his friend to die either.
Now it bothered him in ways he did not wish to think of when it came down the line.
Each piece, each cut. They had been too much for now and he? He could not wait as he wished.
More bullets slammed into the hull and he knew if one hit the engine. They would not have to deal with anything for now.
But he did have to save his damn friend.
