LARP weekend was a very special time for Darren, it was a time for him to unwind from the hectic schedule of school and knighthood to pursue such ventures as wooing women, drinking wine and singing songs as a high-level bard. Though since starting to date Hafwen the wooing part had dropped significantly. To like zero. Many girls were pissed. He gave zero cares. Unpacking his tent, just a stone's throw from the cottage that his best friend Cora usually rented, he busied himself on setting up for the two days he'd spend running around the woods.

It was the first time it what seem months that Cora finally returned to her group. Having left her care at the forest patrol station, she hiked her way to the cabin she often rented during the weekend. Which was nice, given the officer knew who, so they never actually worried about damage.
Thus she was never charged.
Stepping up the steps, she glance out over the lake before a smile slips over her lips. It was honestly nice to be back, and she couldn't wait to slip back into her LARP costume once more.
Pulling the key out of her pocket, she pops her cabin open before slipping inside. It was often used as a tavern or meetings in general. Only the back room where she slept was off limits. Dropping her bags off int he room, she looks over the cabin before nodding. Nothing had changed, everything look the same right from the fireplace which kept them warm.
Moving back out onto the porch, she glance around for a brief moment as she eyes those who were there. Alot of them greeted her as she was walking to the cabin. Each one giving her a hug, and telling her how happy they were to see her.
Her other family...
Leaning against one of the wooden poles, she breaths in slowly before she smile. She needed to get the fire going.
Turning away, she slips back into the cabin.
It took about thirty minutes before smoke started bellowing up out the chimney.
A signal to state the rogue assassin had return to her clan.

By the time Darren had finished his tent he saw that the smoke in the chimney of the cabin was billowing up into the sky. He smiled and nodded his head, moving away from his gear he stuck his head into the cabin as he knocked on the door jab.
"Cora, you decent?" He called as he slipped inside the building. "It's Darren, I'm just coming to check up on you and see if you need any help settling in."
He was still in his "outland" clothing, he hadn't changed into his LARP outfit yet - he wouldn't do that until it was time to go and sign in, which was still a little ways off.
But if Cora was here... He needed to talk to her about the evenings because with this many people situated in one place - he'd felt the need to patrol at nights and he was hoping she'd offer to take an evening so he could actually sleep.

Cora steps out of her bedroom, giving Darren a smile as she moves into the kitchen "Yea I'm decent, just got here not to long ago." honestly she felt strange being back, almost nervous. She new alot has happen within her group, so she was gonna have to take the time to actually role play out watching them all to see what had changed.
Moving to her purse on the table, she grabs out a pill bottle filled with her meds that she was going to have to take while out in the woods. Even though she was given the all clear, she was told she still needed to be very careful. Grabbing a bottle of water, she pours herself a glass of water before popping the pill bottle open "Did you want something?"
Popping a couple different pills into her mouth, she downs them with the water before finishing the glass off.

Darren eyed the pill bottle for a moment, debating if he should ask if she was okay but deciding against it in lieu of just coming out and saying what was on his mind instead.
"Well, I was going to ask - since we're both knights and all - if you would mind sharing patrols with me at nights. We can take shifts or whatever if you'd like - but seeing as you're... maybe not quite up to snuff..." He motion absently at the pill bottle.
"I don't want you to overtax yourself and end up back in the hospital since we JUST got you back into the game again, yanno?"

Cora nearly chokes on the last bit of her water, which causes her to cough hard as she looks at him. Trying to catch her breath, she looks at him with shock "Excuse me...come again?"
How in the hell did he knwo she was a knight...?
And wait a minute, did he just say he was one as well?

Darren watched her for a moment, trying really hard not to laugh as she sputtered water everywhere. Did she not remember she'd told him? Why did she look so surprised.
"The hospital... when I came to visit... You told me you got jumped by a Lieutenant... Said you were Amenthes of Saturn.... I'm Corinth of Neptune - you probably missed that part you were asleep by then."
He scratched the back of his head. "But yeah... uhm... surprise I guess?"

Cora face paled before she grips the counter to prevent herself from dropping to the ground. She told him so easily who she was, which now caused her to panic and wonder if she said anything to anyone else. Shaking her head, she looks away as she closes her eyes "How long....have you been apart of this?" she was more worried now then ever.
How of all people, was Darren apart of this whole mess?
"Did I say anything else?" she was really hoping she hadn't.

"Long enough to get tired of the bullshit and get pretty damn salty," Darren laughed weakly. "Though Camelot did warn me that it wasn't going to be easy, I should have listened better."
He grabbed his chest like it hurt for a moment. "Long enough to... uhm... die."
There was no better way to explain it.
"Remember Hafwen? The girl I was telling you about? Well I went on that date with her and we got attacked by the Negaverse and one of them pulled my seed out... Obviously they got it back in but... Yeah. I was dead for a bit."
He decided to leave out the part that Hafwen was a knight too and that they had broken up and gotten back together.
"No, you passed right out and I sat with you until I had to leave and get some rest myself."

Cora was honestly at a lost as she stares at Darren. She known him since he was a kid, and now, he was in this war as well. Frowning for a moment, she lifts her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose. She wasn't going to comment on the dying, as he knew already how she came close to death herself. Looking up at the ceiling, she mumbles "As if I don't have enough to worry about, now I have to worry about my kid brother. Seriously, this is how you decide to be nice to me." she was talking to no one in general.
Turning her slate blue eyes back on Darren, she gives him a small nod "I can help, but it will be limited. I have a few meds I have to take at a certain time, and then end up knocking me out cold." she gives him a weak smile, before looking down.
"Gotta love being left for dead and all." she tries to laugh at her own joke, but she couldn't.

Darren would have chuckled if her comment had been meant with humor - but he knew that it really wasn't and he'd been there - he knew what she'd gone through and it was tough. He only hoped that she'd be able to pull through and once he started feeling better... If - she started feeling better, she'd be able to use that moment of weakness to grow stronger. He had - somehow. "I know that feeling," He said quietly before he nodded. "I appreciate whatever you can do - and if you need to rest just tell me and I can take back over - it's not like I am going to expect you to run a full patrol if you're not up to it." He didn't want to push her on the off chance it would make her condition worse. "And if you ever need help... you know - knightside - just let me know, and I'll see what I can do. Turns out... Hafwen - my girlfriend - is a knight too..."
