(I'll temporarily play Evin Larse as well until we have someone to play him. Will one of you two play Onua when she is needed if no one else claims her? It will be only temporary until she is claimed as well. And if one of you would rather be Evin since I'm already Sarge and a commander, that would be good too.)

[Madame Butterfly]

(I'm not confident in playing a cannon character but if it's temporary... I could always attempt to play whichever you'd prefer. I'll track down my copy of The Immortals just to play it safe. Which book did Evin show up in, when he was older? Or was that in the same series... argh. My mindset is still with Beka and her lot. What about you, bipolar-wolfcat?)

[LegionWolf]

(Well Evin never shows up agani The information that he became the commander was said by Tamora Pierce on a forum so he can probably just be played however you'd want. He's probably capable, good at his job, though not nearly as serious as sarge and very friendly still.)

[Madame Butterfly]

(Oh! Well in that case, why not? xD I'm off to do a little bit of research, and then I'll post.)

[LegionWolf]

(Alrighty. I'll post first and have Briar coming into the male barracks looking for Evin then, and he could be in there hanging out and relaxing or something since the trainees are expected soon)

[bipolar-wolfcat]

(Haven't read the Immortals series in years, and I'm just now working my way through Alanna's series again. I'm not too confident about Evin, considering I don't even remember his character, and I remember very, very little about Onua. Sorry. )

(Revision: You people move extremely fast. o.o; so I guess the matter is dealt with...)

(Revision 2: The emoticons on CS are pointy. =.=;; )

After taking care of her pony, grooming him and cleaning his tack and putting it away, Briar made her way back toward the barracks. Further from the stables was the barracks for the men, and this is where she headed. She needed to speak to Evin about what happened and figured he would be there. Sarge and Onua were away for now, the former probably getting the last bits of relaxation in before the trainees came, and the latter wasn't expected until the day the new recruits arrived.

Longing for a bath, a hot meal, and her bed but knowing it had to wait, Briar reached the wooden doors of the barracks and entered. As a group commander, she was allowed in here to speak to Evin, but otherwise was not, just as the men were not allowed into the woman's barracks save for Evin, and only if it was dire. They were entitled to a bit of privacy, after all.

Evin Larse’s tall body stretched out like elastic, feet resting comfortably on the desk in front of him as he slouched into his chair. It had been a busy day—when was it ever not?—but of course they were expecting trainees soon. There were forms to look over and sign, and the new ponies had been brought up. New recruits did tend to add to his already busy schedule.

He’d taken rather brilliantly to his position, if he did say so himself; even if his boyish face had aged quicker than many a lad of his years. It’d been a rough ride getting used to it at first, but he was in his prime now. What was more, players upon the dozens had joined up as soon as he’d achieved it. They’d brought their theatrics and talents into this place and sort of livened it all up. In all; it was good.

So when Briar of Whitehorn walked in—Briar of the Sixth, of Thayet's Dogs—he flashed her an easy grin.

But she wasn’t smiling back.

The change of atmosphere had him snapping his feet off the desk and leaning over, brow furrowed with worry. You might never be able to take the play out of the Player, but you could learn him up some. He was a commander then, and Briar had all of his attention.

“Welcome back,” he said, meaning it. Then; “Did something happen?”

(Gods, I barely remember him myself. He was playful, tall, and handsome?)

[bipolar-wolfcat]

Kael lay silently on his bed, listening for Briar's report... His jaw clenched softly as the sorrow returned, and he knew the words that would come from Briar. He suddenly felt anxious, though he tried not to show it. He closed his eyes, no longer smiling as he thought about what had happened, waiting for the group commander to recount the events to Larse.

[LegionWolf]

(Yeah, that's what Evin is like )

Coming up to the desk, Briar nodded stiffly to her commander, her hands bracing on the edge of his desk. She took a long inhale through her nose, not speaking at first as she pulled herself together. It would not due to break down now, would it? Her dark, short hair covering her eyes as she looked down, her hands tightened on the wood of his desk. Soon she looked up, meeting Evin's eyes. "We lost two," she told him, her voice soft but unwavering. "Sonja and Carter. Tusanian raiders took a city near the eastern boarder, a day's right north-east of Tirragen, and they were better trained and equipped than what we thought..."
