Find the Word Tag

Thank you to @chauceryfairytales for the tag, sorry it took me a bit to get around to it!

My words were Brown, Door, Picture, and Hiss. I thought I'd be able to find all of these in Aurei (book 1 of my wip trilogy) but apparently not so for half of them I've used sections from Venatores (book 2 of the trilogy), luckily I don't think there's any spoilers regarding the events of book 1 in those sections. Either way these scenes all come from my wip trilogy Venatores de Mythos, and I won't be specifying which book they're from.

Brown

“Selby‽” She barely registers the voice calling out to her, shrugs off the garbled noise until it’s too close to ignore. Firm hands grasp hers, another set rest on her shoulders. “Selby?” The voice probes in concern. “Selby, look at me.” Slowly she lets herself open her eyes; they meet a set of warm brown eyes swimming with concern. She lets out a shaky breath. “Hi.” “Selby, what happened? Why are you out here all alone?” Her eyes begin to focus, it’s Li Wei in front of her grasping her hands. She turns her head a little, Arthur’s gripping her shoulders.

Door

“Who the fuck are you? And how did you get into my dorm?” Her mind races; does she have a weapon or something she can grab to defend herself? “Reginald Einsley, the Third. And your door was unlocked.” The stranger proffers her a hand. “Yeah, ok, sure, I’m just gonna shake your damn hand?”

Picture

The kitchen is a welcome place, after years of nagging Roque finally got the chefs to let him in. When he’s cooking, Roque can picture being back at home with his family in Argentina. It’s a simple pleasure. “Mmm, that smells good.” A voice like a dozen chiming bells rings against his ear, warm breath tickling the back of his neck as he crimps the edges of his empanadas.

Hiss

“Yes, we’ve located and identified the creature; it’s a Manticore.” Selby hears the person on the other end hiss a little. “Arthur Wong has instructed me to check on the status for Charlie Nguyen.” “Charlie’s on his way back to HQ now, he’ll dispatch once he’s here. We’ve got people gathering his equipment from the warehouse right now.” “Great, Arthur wants you to send Carnwennan and Pridwen with Charlie.” Selby hopes she hasn’t massacred the pronunciation as the person on the other end remains silent. “Is that okay?”

No pressure tagging @keysandopenmind, @kelefox, @maskedemerald and anyone else who'd like to play. Your words are: Count, Cloud, Lightning, and Rain
