For Friendship (closed)

OOC: Hey all,

This is a closed roleplay for myself and Modesty but you're welcome to poke around!

"Calm down, Darina. You are making yourself ill," Evin told the teenage girl hyperventilating as she sat at the edge of the bed while Evin fastened her forest green cloak around her own throat, "Treat this as a normal evening, just like any oth-"
"But it's not! What if something happens to you? What will I do?" All at once, the girl burst into tears, burying her face in her hands. Evin took a deep breath, her patience tested. She loved Darina like a sister, but often her dramatics were exhausting. Evin did not remember being so emotional when she was fourteen. Evin sat down next to the younger girl and put her arm around her. At once Darina's dark curls were in Evin's face as she buried her tears into Evin's shoulder. This was easier when Darina was younger, when she did not understand the situation so fully and when it was easier to hide the rebel's missions from her.

Evin had been taken in by the rebels eighteen years ago. She had been eight years old when her home, a village called Traydon, was destroyed by King Hadrain in an attempt to destroy any magic that he could not control. The village had been filled with some of the last magic-wielders. She was found by some rebels wandering in the forest, a child starving to death. They took her in, unaware of the advantage they would gain by doing so. They did not learn until several years later Evin was an ice mage. Once her talent was discovered, her life changed drastically. Instead of living with the rebel-supporting family that kept orphans, she was taken to what could be considered the headquarters of the rebellion, the disused mines of the Fabia Mountains. Once there, Evin trained with the other young mages the rebels had found in magic, fighting, and stealth until they were deemed "ready," but mostly because their presence was requested for missions. Those who trained the group of seven child mages all excelled in their areas of teaching, but their students did not always become as talented as the masters. Evin herself was a decent ice mage, but was told that in the past when there were many mages she only would have been considered a moderate talent. She knew this to be true as most of the other mages in her group were more talented than she. Evin favored daggers as her weapon of choice because she was quick. Not to mention, she could hide many of them on her person at once. The weight of swords tired her too quickly to make them useful to her. Evin's shot with an arrow was not dreadful, but they had never been her preference. As for stealth, none of the young mages were able to be up to par with the assassin that trained them and eventually decided that the basics would have to do.

Evin had not seen the other mages since they had left the mines, but she did know one of them was dead and another was supposedly a prisoner in King Hadrain's cells. The mages had all been kept separate after their training to make it difficult for King Hadrain to find them all at once. For the next five years, Evin traveled on various missions with a small group of rebels constantly. She was the only mage in the group, living a life of constantly moving from place to place to complete missions. It was on one of those missions that she found Darina much like the rebels had found her as an orphan. One of Darina's older siblings had magic and Hadrain's soldiers were in the process of slaughtering the whole family when Evin and her team burst in with enough time to save Darina, but not her parents or other siblings. She and Evin formed an attachment soon after. Evin refused to send her to the orphanage. She told the rebels that she would take care of the little girl and forced them to give her a new life where she no longer traveled so much. They pressured her to do otherwise, but Evin was firm. She had always done what the rebels told her to do. It was time to do something for herself. That was how the two ended up posing as the nieces of the secretly rebel-supporting innkeepers of The Wayward Traveler. It was fortunate that Evin and Darina looked similar enough to pass as sisters, both with dark hair, though Darina's was riddled with curls and Evin's was straight. Their skin tone matched well enough too, but their eyes were very different. Evin's eyes matched most, dark brown as they were. Darina's eyes, on the other hand, were an icy blue. Evin had always found that ironic, since she was the ice mage of the two.

"Darina," Evin put her hands on the younger girl's shoulder, pushing so Darina's head off of her shoulder would have to face her, "you know I love you. You also know that I have been doing this kind of work for a very long time. You cannot cry like this every time I do something that might be dangerous. You have to be stronger and if you cannot be stronger, you must pretend until you are." Evin kissed her on the forehead while Darina tried to hold back more tears.

Evin was careful to leave out the back door of the inn. No one needed to see The Wayward Traveler's barmaid wearing men's clothing as she disappeared into the forests surrounding the village of Doth. This was not the kind of evening where she worried much about being seen; chilly rain was pouring heavily from the skies combined with an unforgiving wind, making it possible to see only four arms-lengths ahead.

Before long, Evin arrived at the hollowed out tree that was their meeting spot. She was met with dissatisfied looks from the three people she set out to meet. "Darina held me back momentarily. I apologize," Evin told the group as she removed her soaked cloak.
"It's not that," the only other woman responded, "Our tail lost the soldiers in the storm. We have to cancel the mission."
"It's just like you to give up so easily, Juliana!" one of the men huffed, "This mission is perfect for Evin. She could use the water, freeze them! We need to find out what is in that letter! What if that is the key to beating Hadrain once and for all?" He was older, a burly beard covering his angry face.
"I am not sure I could do-" Evin put up her hands as if she could physically pause the conversation, but it continued on without her anyway.
"If we can't find them, we can't do anything!" The woman retorted. She was about the same age as the man she argued with. "It is pointless to risk us traveling out into this weather. They probably changed their course because of it!" Evin met eyes with the red-haired teenage boy that accompanied them and both of them sighed in unison. He was used to these arguments coming from his parents and so was Evin.
