Sam & Rory | Away from the Battle

samredevans:

“what? oh!” Sam got it. I sucked to not understanding pop culture. When he was on summer vacation and in a different state every week, it was hard adjusting.  ”no worries, seriously. i can understand how  a new system  can be confusing. Here, we’ll try Fable, its a role playing game. Pretty simple in plot and controls, and i’ll be on your team to help you.” He went a rummaged through the mess Rory had made. after a few minutes of searching he came up triumphant. ” does that sound okay? And dont worry about the mess, it usually look like that anyways.” he grinned and pushed the disk in. and Handed Rory his controller back.

Rory looked at his controller nervously. Role play? he had heard of it before, sort of. It was where you pretended to be someone else.It couldn’t be too hard, right?

“That sounds grand, Sam,” Rory grinned. he sat down next to Sam and watched as the screen whirled to life. There was a bit of loud music, and then the main menu came up.

As Sam set up the game, Rory let his mind wonder. Lately, he had been very homesick and missed his mammy and Seamus. He also missed his best mate, Liam, from back home. He kept contact, sure, but that was just by email. Until Rory saved up enough money for a web cam, they couldn’t Skype. Rory felt his throat tightening as he thought of Ireland.

Stop it, he thought to himself. You’re not a lass. Catch yourself on and pull yourself together.

“So,” Rory said to Sam, is voice raw. “Who was at the door?” He prayed his friend didn’t notice the small tremor in his voice.
