Trinity: Welcome To The Yurt

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

After their first night in the nomads' camp, Wanda finds herself, as the only women in the group, being fussed over by a very determined group of women. Nathan shows up to 'rescue' her, and as they go for a walk, tells her a secret about the year he spent here when he was nineteen.

( I love it here. I love these people. I owe them a debt I can never repay, not to be melodramatic. )

Trinity: Eagles

In some more downtime in the camp before heading off to investigate the school the next day, Nathan indulges in a very old Kazakh custom. He talks Haroun into getting on a horse and coming with him. Unused to riding, Haroun takes a spill out on the steppes. And Nathan leaves him there.

( The wind in your hair. )

As he tries to find his way back to the camp, not understanding why Nathan hasn't come back for him, Haroun focuses on the one thing that keeps him going.

( Under the open sky. )

Instinct takes over, and Haroun finally stops overthinking. His power kicks on to save him from hypothermia, and Nathan, who's been watching all along, judges it an opportune moment to go fetch him. An enraged Haroun actually makes a second and much more startling breakthrough, but is typically ungracious about it.

( Taking flight. )
