Ryder's eyes narrowed as Percival stepped to the side, the grin on his face making her skin crawl. She walked past him with her head high, heels clicking on the floor and echoing off of the walls. She stopped cold when he spoke, the words hitting home and causing her heart to skip a beat. She turned her head to glare at him, but her eyes only met the back of his head, he was already walking away to his own quarters. She clenched her fists. "That conniving little.." Ryder muttered between clenched teeth, turning and leaving with a huff. She glanced over at her hawk, nodding at it as it flew away, following Percival silently.<br/><br/>She opened the door to her room and closed it behind her softly, walking over to her table and turning on the lamp. She sat down on her bed and groaned, running her hands through her hair. Percival only knows about the human, she thought. Harklas was still unknown to him... Maybe the Master did have a chance. She stood up and prepared for bed, setting the lock to her room and crawling under the sheets, closing her eyes for sleep. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she was gone, asleep and oblivious to anything going on around her. Dreams of Damien flashed through her mind, making her twitch every now and then, even mumble in her sleep. Yet, for the first time in a while, she was at peace as she slept, the dream not like the others. It was... Happy. And it didn't show his death. But instead the time they spent together. Both of them... Happy.
