Title: Traveling Again Rating: PG Prompt: 4. one day here and the next day gone Summary: You don't always know when you're needed.
Tris put down her fork with exaggerated precision. “You're leaving for Gold Ridge tomorrow.” Her voice was flat, but anger and hurt showed in her eyes.
“Kirel said they need a smith-mage right away. Frostpine would go, but he's needed here.” Daja took a drink of her juice. “Unless I'm wrong about the complexity of the problem, I should be back before winter. I'll leave instructions with the bank...”
She trailed off as Tris pushed herself away from the table. “Enjoy your trip,” she snapped, and rushed from the room.
“What-?”
“Oh, Daja.” Sandry's expression was a mixture of sympathy and exasperation. “You're needed here.”
Daja blinked. “I am?” She glanced at the doorway through which Tris had disappeared, and Sandry nodded. “But Tris doesn't need anyone.”
Then Sandry and Briar were both looking at her with exasperated amusement.
“You should talk to her, maybe,” Briar said, very casually, as he helped himself to more soup. “Make things right before you go.”
Daja looked at Sandry and got a nod of agreement. She threw up her hands. “Oh, all right. I'm going.”

But Tris doesn't need anyone. I love the feeling you've created here - that they don't understand each other completley anymore, but they still want to help. Very lovely

Casual!Briaris my favourite Briar. I love how you managed to capture Tris's emotions so strongly here, and that Tris allowed herself to HAVE that scene in front of them all, even briefly.
Edit: also, you're making me consider all sorts of shipping angles I'd never imagined...

Sandry's and Briar's amusement is divine.
