Added just under 1k this week which isn’t much, but considering I wrote some 3k on my new idea, I am happy I did any work in it.
After losing most of a story idea to not writing down my thoughts, I am hesitant to drop the new idea to keep working on this draft, but I also don’t want to stop working on this, so I’ll probably just do it at a snails pace for a while.
Here’s a bit of what I wrote this week:
He shifted the bag on his shoulder and thought back over everything he could remember Agur telling him before he’d fled and left him behind to maintain the ward. He wasn’t to leave was the impression he’d gotten, but surely Agur had a plan if anything happened to him, right?
Fala stopped abruptly and stilled him with a hand to his chest.
“What?” He asked as she scrutinized him.
“You look like I’m taking you to your execution.”
He let out a breath and looked toward the doorway which wasn’t yet in sight. How could he explain why he didn’t want to leave? He couldn’t very well let on that he was part of a the very complex wards keeping Azazel and the rest of Samael’s men out of Agur’s extensive libraries.
“It’s dumb.” He said as he turned his gaze back to her.
She raised her brow at him. “Go on.”
“I’m waiting for my brother. This is the only place I know he’ll come and,” he glanced briefly back toward the entrance, “I feel like if I leave, I’ll miss him.”
Fala’s hand fell to her side and all tension vanished from her bearing. A smile spread across her lips and chuckle escaped her which quickly turned into full on laughter.
Harkin frowned. “What’s so funny?”
“You are waiting for your brother?” Her question was punctuated with more laughter.
“Why is that funny? I had come here to find him just before Samael got here and I lost my chance to actually meet him.” He crossed his arms and wondered why her laughter annoyed him so much.
“Oh, come on, a brother? There is no way you have a brother.” Her laughter tapered off and she wiped at her eyes.
Harkin scowled at her. “I do.”
“Oh!” She pressed her hand to her mouth. “A brother.” Another giggle escaped as she turned and started down the hall again.
