Foxjin and Colder

Friendship and Love

“Stupid stupid stupid,” Grave keeps whispering to himself as they walk. Then he speaks up,

“Ok what do you got that's useful?” He looks over at Steve in annoyance.

“Uh, potions, enchanted stuff...” Steve starts showing everyone different things.

“This,” he pulls out a big enchanted sword that no one has ever seen before, looks like it came from Notch himself.
Grave’s expression changes as he sees the sword.

“Yeah, right” he mutters finally, “good you're not useless, I wasn't going to give you anything anyway.”

Burrito gives him a look.

Foxjin isn't sure where this is going to go but, here they are, in this group walking to their deaths.
She’s walking in the back still, avoiding people, even Colder. Then she notices Amber looking back at her from where she is.
Then she actually drops back to walk by her, Foxjin can't help but tense slightly hand tightening around her bow.

“I don't know much about you,” Amber says finally. Foxjin wants to avoid her completely, she’s not here to make friends.

She doesn’t reply to the other girl, doesn’t even pay her any mind, she's done this before at the Resistance to get people to go away.

“You’re not very talkative are you?” Amber observes, she still hasn’t backed off. Foxjin glances at her slightly observing the daggers in her belt, and the one she knows is hidden in her boot.

DNAx looks back at them for a moment then looks over at Colder like he’s going to say something to him. Then he gets distracted by Burrito making some comment.

Steve walks up to Grave, he tries to talk to him, but Grave draws his weapons immediately and snaps something distracting Amber.

“Hey, do I have to separate you two?” Burrito asks breaking off his conversation with DNAx.

Grave hesitantly puts his weapons away; he gives Steve a glare then keeps walking. Then they are walking side by side whispering as if they are friends, but everyone knows they aren’t in the slightest.

“It's very interesting walking in the back isn’t it” Amber comments finally and Foxjin looks over at her again. She had tried to forget she was there and hoped she would have been uninterested eventually, apparently that doesn’t work.

“Can you not speak? Do you know sign language?” Amber asks then starts to move her hands, signing something.

Foxjin blinks, she can only make out a few words she learned long ago, she chooses not to reply instead giving Amber a stare, they lock gazes for a moment.

“Are you one of DNAx’s friends?” she asks, “I'm just helping him look for his best friend, he told me her name was...” she pauses unsure then tucks a bit of her orange hair behind her ear thoughtfully.

Foxjin stares at her, 

Wait a minute... He didn't tell her that he found me? Why...

She wants to tell her that she is the friend DNAx is looking for, but she doesn't.

Amber looks expectantly at her,

“Go away” Foxjin mutters.

Her eyes widen in surprise,

“Oh, you can speak?”

Foxjin gives her a look, meeting her gaze again silently telling her to back off, but Amber meets it right back with her different colored eyes.

For once Foxjin is the first to look away.

“Is Amber actually trying to talk to her?” DNAx asks Colder, he’d definitely got much more friendly now for some reason, maybe he doesn’t consider him a threat anymore.
