From Basin?

The silence that followed left the beast without an answer, though there was little doubt that the damage had already been done. Whatever reputation preceded them was not complimentary, even if their motives were harmless. Roland shifted upon his feet in the soft sand, gaze drawn to Lena as she turned unexpectedly towards him. The Thief could only meet her gaze with a blank expression, deliberately hiding any emotion from the Pegasus even though anxiety was building like a storm in his chest; he was only overcome with a new kind of uneasiness when he shared a reticent stare with the Mender, wondering at the unspoken message communicated in her shuttered gaze. As slow understanding came over him, he had to resist the urge to shake his head or dig his toes petulantly into the sand.

He had never refused her anything, had never wanted to, but he could not strand her on the beach with a behemoth staring her down. Roland did not boast a large amount of courage, but he was not so spineless as to leave her to the wolves, only for the sake of saving his own skin. How could he live with the guilt of standing idle while she threw herself into the flames? How could he let her sacrifice her safety to preserve his? But he could not ignore the fact that she seemed desperate for him to obey, to surrender to her silent demand and retreat. His gaze flickered to Imogen, hesitant, and with a heavy heart he took a few slow steps back, his own muscles betraying him as he ground his teeth in frustration.

He did not go far, would not turn his back or shift his gaze for a moment- he simply couldn't. If their confrontation went from bad to worse he could still interject, even if the odds were stacked against them. But he did not say a word when Lena turned back to the stranger, sealing their fate with a simple word.

((Sorry for holding this up for so long <3 @[Lena] @[Gaucho] ))


Push your luck if it makes you a promise
