Ciyaaaa9mthCommentedto get a rise out of smo: to make smo angry
"But you see, you misunderstand something. I didn't talk to that woman to get a rise out of you. I find her bravery fascinating, especially as she's trembling like a leaf all the while. Even if she weren't connected to you, I would still find myself drawn to her."- Ciyaaaa9mthCommented
brawl: fight
Breston's lips twisted. "And this coming from you? I remember a time when you'd seek out any brawl you could." - Ciyaaaa9mthCommented
animosity: hatred, being enemy
Maxi tugged her hood lower as he walked up to Sejuleu Aren. The man held a deep animosity toward Riftan, and the last thing she wanted was to start an altercation by catching his eye. She furtively began gathering her tools. - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
mull: think deeply
Riftan furrowed his brow at her soft tone. He seemed to mull over his answer for a moment. - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
convene: invite a meeting
"A-Are you saying the Council of the Seven Kingdoms has already convened?" - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
chum: close friend, buddy
"Apologies if I've caused offense, my lady," Sejuleu replied with mock remorse. "It pleases me so much to see that chum expressing actual human emotion that I'm unable to stop teasing him." - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
peeved: get angry, be teased
Feeling peeved, she plucked her quill from its ink pot to continue working. Ten minutes later, however, she had not written a thing. She blew away the strand of hair that had slipped onto her forehead, recalling this morning's mortification and sense of rejection. - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
rift:crack
"There was apparently a rift among them. Between the Ilid and Callid Factions, which I assume are names. The two sides fought, forcing one to leave the ruins." - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
ravine: a narrow path around the mountain
She looked at the paladin in puzzlement before realizing he was referring to Livadon's knightly order. Lifting her head toward the ravine's edge once again, she caught the darkly armored knight's jaunty wave. - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
drowsiness: being so exhausted, very sleepy
Before long, the mages who had remained at the ruins entered through the tent canvas. They cast restorative magic over the returning party members, and Maxi gained just enough energy to move around. She used it mostly on filling her stomach with the food the knights brought in. Afterward, she drew water from the hot spring and stumbled into the small tent at the reservoir's edge. As she began to wash, waves of drowsiness from the food and warm scrub-down began to crash over her. - Ciyaaaa10mthReplied to SBarman
haha what can I say after hearing a reality?
Lying with her back to him, she gazed up at the swaying shadows on the cave ceiling. Riftan removed his armor and lay down so that he was up against her back. The heat radiating from his steel-like body seemed to penetrate her blanket and seep into her. Tears sprang to her eyes, and she squeezed them shut as if that would suppress her longing. - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented

admonish:scold
"Are you… admonishing me for coming to find you?" - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
infiltrate: go there secretly
"Don't tell me you… infiltrated the city?!" Ruth exclaimed. - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
abominable: disgusting
"An abominable monster that can take over a human mind," explained Elliot. "Once bitten, its venom deprives a person of their will, turning them into beasts. A trained knight can resist it, but…" His eyes moved to Sidina. "It slows their movements and paralyzes their muscles instead. He is in this state because he continued to fight despite his condition." - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
vicinity= around
"Explanations will have to wait. We must search the vicinity first." Riftan's tone was calmer, presumably from relief that Ulyseon was doing better. He continued, "Some of the lamias managed to get away. They will be hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to strike again." - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
skirmish: fight
"There was a skirmish here, and quite recently at that." - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
scorched: to be burned
The mage carefully studied a rock, a grave expression etched across his thin, serious face. When Maxi followed his gaze, she quickly grasped the reason for his comment. The surface of the rock was visibly scorched. - Ciyaaaa10mthCommented
gleam=shining
Staggering backward, she slumped into Kuahel's arms. She stared up at him in disbelief. The only hint of emotion he showed was an unreadable gleam in his green eyes. He raised a hand over her face. Soon, she slipped into darkness.
