@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- Safe like she hadn't felt since #Kyle had disappeared. Now #John was going for something important, something to do with the war, --

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- on to the page, shoulders hunching. In truth, she didn't want the General to leave. Something about the man made her feel safe. --

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- She /knew/ he was going, and she /knew/ Kyle wouldn't like it. Nose wrinkling, worry mounting for #John, she looked back down --

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- look in her eyes. Did John Henry know him too?}

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- eyes widening for a beat as John Henry pressed her hand to his throat. Brow furrowed as she tried to figure out what he was trying to --

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- away and run. Maybe... Maybe John Henry could be a friend. A good friend! It wouldn't be fair to judge him just because his people --

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal {Fright flickering across her face at the Metal's cold skin against hers, she stiffened for a beat, fighting the urge to yank her hand --

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- him to show her the next letter, she tapped the page, watching as her name slowly revealed itself.}

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- She didn't know what letter came next, and if John Henry wanted to show her, she'd be happy as a clam. Her gaze silently imploring --

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ @_FleshAndMetal -- Now, she /wanted/ to learn. To be a solid member of this camp and write down her thoughts. Write letters to John while he was away. --
