WHO: Eddie Castile and Mason Ashford
WHAT: Reuniting
WHEN: Wednesday night
WHERE: Hinkles
WARNINGS: TBD
STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
This meeting was one that Eddie desperately wanted, but one that he was also terrified of. He'd never really finished grieving Mason, and he'd blamed himself for everything about his friend's death. If only he'd not gone along with their crazy mission to Spokane. If only he'd been able to resist the Strigoi...if only, if only. There were a thousand things he wished he'd done differently, but he hadn't. Mason had died. And Eddie had thrown himself into his Guarding with an almost obsessive dedication, determined never to do that again.
Life hadn't been smooth for Eddie as a Guardian. He'd killed a Moroi - a Moroi that was trying to kill Lissa, sure - but a Moroi, nonetheless. And he'd been put on some weird sort of suspension for that, until Lissa had given him a second chance by sending him to take care of Jill in Palm Springs. Maybe that was why it was so important to him that he keep her safe. Maybe, somehow, he could make up for letting Mason down.
Eddie showed up early at Hinkles, and took a booth near the back. His eyes flicked around, scouting out the exits and everything that might be dangerous. He did it without thinking - he didn't really think they were in danger here, but a Guardian was always prepared.
He ordered a soda, but didn't touch it as he sat at the table, trying to keep himself from shaking.
