[i]Octavia yelled out, falling to the ground but quickly pushing herself back. She rose up, shaking a little as if embarrassed. [/i]

[i]"Coön kick, bltch!" Jessica said with a smirk, before she spun around and slashed across Octavia's torso from the left side. [/i]
-
[b][i]"Why, you-"[/i][/b] [i]Octavia suddenly swung, spinning back from the stronger blow as her sword collided with Jess'. She groaned, charging back and thrusting into Jess' stomach.[/i]
-
[i]Jess executed a spin in the opposite direction, slapping the side if her sword against that of Octavia to send her blade rearing away, before she made a stabbing attack into her Solar Plexus. Obviously she cut her hit off, as to not impale Octavia's organs. "Think I won, sugar." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...I can still...[/u][/b] [b][u]...Goddamnit."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia lowered her right hand, which had jumped to the final knife at her side. She nodded, taking off her helmet to reveal her facial appearance at last. Octavia appeared to have been a younger woman - at least in her mid-twenties, with long curly brunette hair, light olive skin, and an angular jawline. Her eyes were a light lime green, as a smirk crossed her tired, slightly red face.[/i] [b][u]"...So...what will I be doing?"[/u][/b]

[i]"Well, first you're healing us two. Bring me to a medical centre." Derek: "...Mother of god..."[/i]
-
[b][u]"First? Heh, fine... And what's he on about? And...medical centre?"[/u][/b] [i]Octavia questioned, nodding over to Derek. She was genuinely confused about this, though - medical centre?[/i]
-
[i]"You know, a place where people can help you heal up?" Derek: "Pay no attention to me, I'm just... Surprised, Jess did that." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...I'm unfamiliar with this shit..."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia sighed, shrugging.[/i] [b][u]" You want me to carry you there, I suppose?"[/u][/b]
-
[i]"I have legs, just follow me," Jessica said as she started to walk. [/i]
-
[i]Octavia slowly stumbled after Jessica, blood continuing to drip from her leg and sides as her brother only sighed and left the courtyard, leaving Derek alone.[/i]
-
[i]"So, Octavia - Tell me about yourself." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...Alright, fine.."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia was silent after a moment once Jess had spoken, but eventually broke the silence and began speaking.[/i] [b][u]"Used to live in a different place from this - the Peaks, I believed it was called. Very medieval, simplistic place. Never got used to it, since my parents moved towards the central landmass on the planet. I took up a life of farming alongside my brother, and...[/u][/b] [b][u]...Well, things didn't turn out well. Four years ago, my parents were killed by bandits. The homestead that we lived upon was...decimated. Burned to the ground. It...wasn't pleasant. Afterwards, we set off for a short while as vigilantes. Then...well, we ended up here."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Damn, I'm... Sorry. I guess the other guy's your brother?" [/i]
-
[b][u]"You don't have to be sorry. And yeah, that's my brother. Olythran. He's...okay. Too brash for my tastes, but still lovable."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Tell me about him." [/i]
-
[b][u]"There's not much to say about him. He's probably one of the nicer people that you'll find here, but if something happens? He...well, tends to get violent.[/u][/b] [b][u]Between you and me? Someone like you could probably manipulate him quite well. He just...doesn't seem like the type to resist women, even though I've barely seen him with a girl."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"...And you tell that to the person most likely to use him?" [/i]
-
[b][u]"Yes, I am. It would be...interesting to see, at least to me."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"So you want me to do it?" [/i]
-
[b][u]"...Eh, it would certainly be funny. But honestly... Meh, I'm mixed upon it. Do what you wish."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"I can do it if you really want me to. No immediate plans but I can." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...I find it ironic that you're suddenly willing to do things...if I want you to. Go ahead and try it in the future, if honestly sounds funny to do."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"I'm just bored and 99% sure you're not lesbian, so this is the next best thing. Besides, playing people like a piano is an art, and a fun one at that." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...Not exactly straight, though."[/u][/b] [i]Out of all the terms that Octavia knew - she knew the whole straight/gäy/lesbo/bi stuff.[/i] [b][u]"But yeah, go ahead."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Go ahead? Was that an invite? Because I will."[/i]
