Ferixiana and the Raven's Nest

This is not my writing, this is completely the writing of my friend. Glide's lover, Felix, joins the group. Glide decides the group now needs a name. The group is wandering around on Yochinai, not really paying attention.

 

“Hang on, guys.” Glide said, heading back through the doorway and into the Nexus. “Firecrotch, come here a second.”

Davis rolled his eyes, passing back through the doorway. “Yeah?”

“Call Felix, we’re gonna need him.”

Davis nodded, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a cell phone. He paused for a moment, then dialed the number and held the phone to his ear. “Hey, mo– uh, Felix…we need your help. You’ve been to the Nexus, right? We need you to come to the door to Yochinai. Me and dad’ll meet you there. And…bring a weapon.”

 

…

 

Their wait wasn’t long; Felix showed up after a few moments, wearing his usual daisy-dukes, a pair of straight razors sitting in custom-made holsters on his belt.

“Ferixiana.” Glide grinned, wrapping his arms around Felix.

Felix blushed, nuzzling against Glide’s chest. “Glide, come on, don’t call me that…”

“Why? It’s your name, isn’t it?” Glide asked, leaning down to place a quick kiss on Felix’s cheek.

“Well, yeah… But you know I prefer to be called Felix…” Felix said.

Glide nodded. “I understand.” He paused for a moment, smirking. “By the way, what’s with the razors, Sweeney Todd?”

“Like you’ve never used a straight razor to slit someone’s throat.” Felix muttered, pulling away from Glide and sliding one of the razors out of the holster. “These puppies are custom-made, just like the holsters for ’em. Ultra-high carbon steel wedge-type blades, ivory handles with gold inlays…even linerlocks. I was thinking of calling ’em Sweeneys, ’cause, like you said, Sweeney Todd.”

 

…

 

“Y’know,” Glide mused, as he led the group through the fog, “we need a name for this group. We can’t exactly call ourselves the Crusaders anymore; we’re not all Crusaders.”

“Is this really the best time for this discussion?” Niqi asked.

Glide shrugged. “No time like the present. Besides, what the hell else are we supposed to do? Now, I propose ‘Raven’s Nest’. All for?”

Ricky raised his paw. “Aye.”

Sandy and Davis glanced at each other, shrugged, and mirrored their brother’s movement. “Aye.”

“Okay, and my vote makes four for it.” Glide said. “All opposed?”

Niqi was the first to oppose the suggestion. “Nay.”

“Nay.” Shetani said, raising her paw.

Lujuria raised his hand, as well.

“Sorry, Glide.” Felix murmured.

Glide sighed. “Four opposed. All abstaining?”

“Cabbage.” Belleza smiled.

“I’m with her.” Ambree said.

“Well, it’s tied, then.” Glide said. “Let’s hear some other suggestions.”

“I propose ‘The Pack’.” Niqi said.

Glide nodded. “Voting on ‘The Pack’. All for?”

Niqi raised her paw. “Aye.”

“Me, too.” Ambree added.

There was silence for a few seconds, then Lujuria raised his hand. “Aye.”

“Three.” Glide said. “All opposed?”

Six paws shot up.

“Six opposed.” Glide chuckled. “Tough luck. All abstaining?”

“Me again.” Belleza said.

“I think, since more people opposed your suggestion than mine, we should go with Raven’s Nest.” Glide grinned. “Anyone with a problem is welcome to take it up with my blade.”

Raven's Nest... Well, ravens are freaking cool and it does make them sound like family, so nice name :) Much better than crows nest because isn't the the top lookout thing on ships?

Thanks to my misreading the description, I initially thought it said "this is completely the writing of my friend, Glide's lover."
Oops.

"Cabbage." Belleza smiled."
