Title: Patterned (Part 6) Rating: R Word Count: 196 Pairing: Briar/Daja/Sandry/Tris – Team Circlecest Round/Fight: 1/H Summary: After so long together, some things come naturally and they're pattered after one another these days and maybe always have been.
Edited to mention all four and hopefully fit the challenge better
It was high summer, a full year gone from Namorn and Tris sat high on a wagon, her things piled up in boxes behind her. “I'll be back before you know it, Sandry. I just... “
Sandry nodded. “It's Lightsbridge.”
“It's only a year, the certification. The rest of my training, I've already done.”
Are you sure? She didn't ask. “I'll ride out with you, as far as the white bridge.”
“I don't need your pity, Sandry!”
“No, but you might want my company. It's a full day's travel and a lot further to Lightsbridge.”
“Which I'm doing with Traders who I'm meeting at White Bridge Inn.”
Sandry stuck her tongue out in reply, and nudged her mount.
They shared a bed in the best suite that night and barely slept, Briar and Daja a warm, comforting presence in their magic, all four of them together through only two of them were present.
“I'll be back in the middle of Mead.”
“It's Wort, now.”
“I know.”
She watched the caravan until it was out of sight amongst the hills before saddling her horse and riding south.

Squee!
(I really, really do like how you've kept to the pattern theme, each chapter bringing in two or more of them, but again I'm a little bit concerned there might be an issue about not referencing all of them in each individual chapter. I hope not!)

I've hopefully fixed that by changing the structure slightly through mentions of the others and combining a couple of the drabbles?
