"I have a high ranking with them, if I say to help you, they'll help you," she said

[[deleted user]]

"Will they though?" Aris asked. "No matter that I was shot five times by Marik, I am still a former Council Member."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"But your also my brother," she saif

[[deleted user]]

"I know," he agreed, "and I am. But I also abandoned you for years."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"If they see that you're good though..." She trailed off

[[deleted user]]

"I hope so," Aris said. "But I still want a Council; I just want one that's actually for the people."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Maybe not a council but a fair ruling system," cinder said

[[deleted user]]

"Maybe if the Members were elected and could not be on for life?" Aris suggested.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"sounds like a plan," she gave a small smile

[[deleted user]]

"Really?" Aris asked, hope creeping into his voice.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Yeah." She said

[[deleted user]]

Aris tried to hug his sister only to find that his wounds hurt too much to do so.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

Cinder saw he hurt and leaned forward to hug him.

[[deleted user]]

Aris smiled softly. "I did miss you, you know."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Trust me I know," she smiled

[[deleted user]]

"How will we get out of here?" he asked. "No one's ever escaped."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"I was close, but I couldn't walk because of my leg. Maybe since we're together, we can coke up with a better plan?" She suggested

[[deleted user]]

"We're both still injured," Aris pointed out, "so we'll have to make sure no guards are conscious somehow."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Are you physically strong enough to knock them out?" She asked

[[deleted user]]

"Maybe if I weren't injured," Aris said. "I should not have pushed them like I did." He tried to rub his forehead.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"He has issues." She said, wincing as she tried to move her leg.

[[deleted user]]

"So do Devon Nyx and Adam," Aris agreed. "Devon Nyx suggested to bring us here."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"I'm not surprised." Cinder said. Then, after a minute. "Crap."

[[deleted user]]

"What?" Aris asked Cinder, "Tell me what's wrong."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"It's Quinn. I just realised she's Mariks sister. She's a Resistance member, but will be at her brothers side in a minutes notice. Putting them together... I'm so dead," she put her head in her hands

[[deleted user]]

Aris winced. "I pissed off both Devon Nyx and Marik." He shook his head. "Most of them were mad at me, come to think of it."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Great so we're both so dead," she laughed

[[deleted user]]

"Savannah might come for us," Aris said, not sure if he wanted her to come or not.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Who's that?" She asked

[[deleted user]]

"My sort-of girlfriend who is a Resistance spy," Aris said. A moment later, he realized that he could have gotten Savannah in a lot of trouble if anyone were listening.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"She'll get caught if she does," cinder said

[[deleted user]]

"I know," Aris growled, his body thrumming with worry. "But she's clever. She may be able to help us."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"I hope you're right, because as soon as Marik's healed, he'll probably come straight over here and kill me..."

[[deleted user]]

"Me too," Aris agreed, "because one, you're my sister. Two, Devon Nyx stopped Marik from killing me, and she's probably got a terrifying reason for that."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"I doubt they'll give us more than a month," she breathed

[[deleted user]]

"If that," Aris agreed. He held on more tightly to his sister.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

She leaned her head on his shoulder. "Wait you have a girl friend?" She asked

[[deleted user]]

"Yeah," Aris answered, "I thought I already told you that." He chuckled. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"I can't believe you have a girl friend!" She laughed, then "No, I haven't had time really,"

[[deleted user]]

((Because Elanna left and thus Linder is gone. =/))

"Oi!" Aris protested. "Why's that so hard to believe?"

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

((Yeah :( ))

"Cuz you're you, that's why," she smiled

[[deleted user]]

((Well, she did say there was a possibility of her coming back. Do you think we should try to get the Doctor online to RP with us as Savannah?))

Aris pouted. "I'm not that bad."

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

((Sure))

"Uh huh," she laughed

[[deleted user]]

((Okay. How will we do that?))

"I'm the one of us with a significant other, lil sis," Aris teased.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Oh shush," she playfully elbowed him

[[deleted user]]

Aris winced and gasped in pain.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Sorry," she said quickly.

[[deleted user]]

Aris nodded, biting his lips and squeezing his eyes shut.

[Jules, Tʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ᴄᴏɴғᴏʀᴍɪᴛʏ ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ʟɪᴇs ᴜᴘᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cɪᴛʏ.]

"Where did he shoot you?" Cinder asked concerned

[[deleted user]]

"Arms, legs, torso," Aris wheezed. "I got him in the shoulder, but I think he was quickly healed."
