((Continuing day after Prompt: Ashes))
Caedyn grasped Callista's arm, exchanging a nod with her comrade. “Send da demned dregon ta tha Mis'!”
“I shall do my best, Captain,” was the solemn reply.
Caedyn smirked. “Waste auf a prema'tion.”
“Perhaps they wisely felt it necessary to give you the extra time during your recovery to update your uniform.”
Caedyn stared at Callista in surprise, before tossing her head back to laugh heartily. Shaking her head, she grabbed the ladder of the Pact helicopter before becoming serious. “Yer in charge, Ironmaker! Ya deserve it.”
“No. I am not a Lightbringer, Captain.”
“Ack! Gonna hav' ta fix tha'!”

Prompt: Ashes
((Continuing after Prompt: Burnt))
Caedyn surveyed the makeshift camp with a heavy heart. With captain and so many others lost, she'd been the highest ranking officer. Even barking orders to organize the defenses of their holdout, she felt chafingly useless propped up on a splinted leg.
Her eyes went to the most familiar face, Callista, dusted with ash and soot, tending a soldier that they had rescued from some wreckage.
Looking around, there were a lot survivors from other units that formed this ragtag company, and she thanked Leopard's whiskers that they had as many able fighters as they did.
Night was coming fast.

“Ack! Heimskr skítkarl!” Caedyn cursed once she caught her breath after the struggle to get in a sitting position. She was going no where fast on a broken leg.
Smoke from the fires of the crashed ships made it doubly difficult to get her bearing in the unfamiliar land. She saw a dark figure come around the corner and drew her sword, ready to fight from the ground if needed.
“Lieutenant Köttrdóttir.”
“Le'perd's kittens, it be ye!” Caedyn looked enviously over Callista's uninjured form. “Shou'da called on Le'perd if I were wantin' ta land on me feet I see.”

Prompt: Betrayal (II)
((Continuing after Prompt: Promotion))
“Capt'n Buford,” Caedyn saluted, “The wind's a easin' up an-”
It happened so fast, that Caedyn had the brief mad thought that Leopard was seeking vengeance for some wrong. She was able to restrain the Mordrem-morphing former comrade, but not before the traitor's blade plunged into the commanding officer.
“Ge' Agen' Ironmaka up here! Capt'n need medica-”
Her words were cut short again as a deafening explosion shook the ship. The air flooded with acrid smoke and screams. Not only their ship. To the port. To the aft.
"Le'perd save us."
The whole d**n armada was being destroyed as one.

Prompt: Education
“I bought this not long after I met Callista and had similar questions about the charr.” Plucking a yellow bound book from the bookcase, Diana handed the volume to Helen. “This is more accurate than that old tome you read.”
“The New Lion Arch Idiot's Guide to Charr Culture.” Helen read the title.
“Yes, do keep in mind it is a Lion's Arch text.” At her niece's confused look, she clarified. “You might skip some sections on... well, there is a chapter about pick up lines and... romantic encounters.”
Diana tried not to laugh at her niece's furiously blushing face.
