Next you'll be walking through a lovely valley. In addition to the green meadows and colorful flowers you might encounter a small farm every now and then. The locals are quite friendly compared to the people you've met before. Enjoy that glass of milk they offer and try not to burn down their cattle shed.

[ mission: be nice. please. just try. ]

[ slowly looks up at her does that forced smile that she doesn't think that's funny. ]

You can have it if you want to. [ slides it up to her ]

[foodporn]

[she's not a big milk drinker but i guess you take what you can get around here. holds glass]

Nice people, letting a bunch of strangers in like this.

[then again that's what the burger people did too and look where that got them.]

You don't think they're gonna try to shove us in the oven like Hansel and Gretel do you?

[crotchbite]

I really hope not. For their sake.

[ tired tone cus can't they ever take a breather, come on.

it's been non-stop these last couple days and it would be nice to rest somewhere where literally nothing happens. ]

[foodporn]

[well grandma over there is doing literally nothing but trying to get august to help her bake a pie so she's pretty sure it's okay so far]

So...Killian. Tell me he said something to you before he took off.

[crotchbite]

[ looks up at her for a second before inhaling deeply through her nose, flaring her nostrils a little with a concerned look, dropping her gaze to the table. kinda frowny but not really concerned sort of thing ]

He hasn't.

[foodporn]

Was he acting weird? Did he talk to anyone outside of the group before he left? Does this kind of thing happen often?

[since she's gotten here it's always been stick close, stay with the pack, don't wander off on your own and if anyone's turned up missing it's usually a bad thing. but no one seems to care. she's confused. and worried]

[crotchbite]

[ one at the time agatha christie ]

No, he just disappeared in the middle of all [ gestures ] this. [ the group is getting crazy big and crazy unmanegeable, it's hard to keep track of everyone ]

But I have a feeling that I know where-- well, who he is with. [ ever since the red girl popped up killian has been in and out, she's noticed

leans back in the chair and crosses arms ] I think we'll see him soon.

[foodporn]

You think? What makes you say that?

[youre holding out on me]

[crotchbite]

[ drums fingers on the table a couple of times before shrugging with a sigh ]

It's just one of those things. You know. [ quirks eyebrows ] Female intuition.

[foodporn]

Yeah, I am female too. If you didn't notice. And I seem to have missed the intuition on this one. Come on, don't make me feminine wiles it out of you. Don't start keeping secrets on me now.

[crotchbite]

[ that threat is not koscher at all, man. she arches her eyebrows up at her with narrowed eyes ] Oh, I don't have any secrets. [ she told her a lot of shit already so maybe she can pull that one off lol ]

Why are you so worried about him anyway?

[foodporn]

[too bad you already blew it cus you said who]

Because he hasn't been here in days? He could be kidnapped, or dead in a ditch somewhere. Okay so he's not the nicest guy I've ever known, but he doesn't deserve that.

[as far as shes aware]

[crotchbite]

"Not the nicest guy" doesn't really do him justice.

[ looks at her for a while and shakes head, licking her lip and holding her hands up like a white flag ] Listen, if I find anything out, you'll be the first to know, okay?

[foodporn]

No, that's not good enough. You have an idea who he's with, tell me or I'm gonna go find out on my own.

[rude people keeping shit from her she's had it up to here]

[crotchbite]

[ arches eyebrows up ]

And how are you planning on doing that? Are you going to backtrack all the way back, go through the swamps, to the circus, find a clue, find him, bring him back and still be able to catch up with us? Come on, Bo. Trust me a little.

[foodporn]

I do trust you. Don't you trust me? Why are you keeping it from me?

[yes she will do all that if you don't tell her and she's not bluffing. she's petulant and worried, its a bad combination]

[crotchbite]

[ well that' s a punch to the gut. she did tell her she trusts her but she would rather be sure about this!!

looks at her with an offended look and frowns. ]

Because I'm not sure and knowing you, you'd go full Miss Marple on it.

[foodporn]

Fine. I'll just Miss Marple my way out the door.

[stands up suddenly. bebes first fight. and she hopes she feels bad about it because shes vindictive. puppy is a bitch sometimes.]

You may not care about anything except what's standing in between you and getting out of this place, but I do. And don't tell me you trust me if you're just going to act like you know what's best for me.

[there fran are you happy someone gives a shit enough about him to go look. screen door slams shut as she bos away to find his stupid scruffy worthless ass]

[crotchbite]

[ she cares he just has a bad way of showing it.

rolls her eyes a little with her tongue in cheek and watches her slam the door on her way out, before groaning and rubbing her forehead. whyyyyy doooesss shheee caaareee

gets up and goes after her ]

[foodporn]

[has a good head start back toward the forest]

[angry stompy feet]

[crotchbite]

[ yeah she can catch up with her stompy feet

grabs her arm and tugs her towards her but as gently as possible in this situation since she doesn't want to aggravate the angry chihuahua ]

Bo, come on, wait. Be reasonable.

[foodporn]

I am being reasonable. One of us is missing and I'm finding him. Or do you just want me to leave him behind and forget about him? Is that what you'd do?

[let go of me. meeeeem]

[crotchbite]

You're storming off. [ how is that reasonable ] You have no clues, you don't even know where he is or when he went missing. Think about this for a second.

[ doing that kind of angry/calm face/voice thing she does ]

[foodporn]

He hasn't been here since the circus. I figured I'd start there. Maybe if you'd give me a clue, I'd have somewhere else to start.

[crotchbite]

Oh my God, you are stubborn.

[ pinches the bridge of her nose and sighs, dropping hands to her hips ]

Look, have you noticed anyone else missing? A particular anyone else?
