[ mission: once you've reached the port town discuss if you're taking the large manmade bridge or boarding a ship. it will be a two days' journey of anyway. ]

[ you still hanging out with the devil? that's omnious. ]

[ catches up with him as she sees he's putting the map away. ]

[sawedoff]

[talk to hook about that]

[a wild michonne appears. is the one million years cold war over]

Now you wanna talk?

[mercyless]

[ we're just getting started. ]

You obviously don't. How long are you gonna let this continue?

[sawedoff]

[shoots her a defensive look]

Is this about you and me or you and Clara?

[mercyless]

[ looks go both ways. ]

[ what do you think. ]

[sawedoff]

[did getting laid do nothing for your mood]

Because if it's about Clara, I don't know why you're talking to me about it.

[mercyless]

[ it did. but this is business. ]

I'm trying to warn you, Dean.

[sawedoff]

And I'm trying to listen, but you're not making it easy.

[mostly because all you do is brood and glower instead of talking]

[mercyless]

[ maybe it would help if you stopped staring at clara's butt and concentrated. ]

It's the siren. She ate her heart and we saw it. You saw it. There has to be a some kind of connection.

[sawedoff]

[just gives her a bitch please look]

I've run the gamut of checks. She ain't a siren and even if I was dumb enough to let her get by without checking her reflection for somethin nasty she wouldn't have waited this long to make a play.

[any other bright ideas]

[mercyless]

The siren got you before, didn't it?

Do us all a favor and don't act like you know this place. It could be that your checks don't work on it.

[ i will go down with this ship. ]

[sawedoff]

You're right, I don't. But I'm the only one out of all of you that's actually tried to figure out what she is and how she got here and do something about it, so don't talk to me like we've been braiding each other's hair since she got back.

[dead horse michonne and you're beating it even deader]

[mercyless]

[ it's my job to beat dead things hello. ]

And what did you do about it?

[ elaborate. ]

[sawedoff]

She's 'none of the above'. She ain't anything I've ever seen or heard of before, and I already told you I went over her with a fine tooth comb to make sure she's human.

[human=/=siren. siren may have gotten the jump on him once but he is the one that killed her so give him some credit here]

Honestly? You're barking up the wrong tree. You and me both. Assumed she came back from the dead, but I'm not so sure that's what went down anymore.

[mercyless]

[ narrows eyes. ]

[ it's true he knows more about these things but she's still skeptical. clara was his lover so there's no chance he can be 100% unbiased in this. ]

We can't just wait and see forever.

[sawedoff]

[open ur ears and listen for once michonne. looks across at clara chatting it up with hook. conspiratorially stage whispering about someone while theyre ten feet away, isnt that his mo]

She's not the same person. And I don't mean that in a she came back wrong way.

[opens his hands like what do you want me to do. really. what do you want.]

[mercyless]

[ stab her. see if she comes back. ]

[ even though technically she never did that in the first place. ]

That's your theory?

There are two of them and they just happen to pop in here one after another?

[ noo way. ]

Then where's Bilbo Junior? Mitchell 2?

[sawedoff]

[technically it's not his theory but it's the only working one they have right now]

She didn't just pop back in here as a replacement. Someone asked for it.

[kinda stumbles over the word replacement because he's bitter about it. but what can you do. fixes her with a pre-emptive and don't even start look no it wasn't him.]

[mercyless]

...

[ who would ask something like that. and who has the power to replace someone? ]

[ who would be stupid enough to play with powers like that. ]

[ sslowly looks at hook's back. ]

[sawedoff]

Got it in one.

[now you see why he was more concerned about what brought her back than what she is. follows her look and gives her a tight smile.]

She's just the byproduct. You wanna get trigger happy on someone, there's your guy.

[preferably don't kill him off before they can use him to bitch slap the devil but i'm sure dean can cut his losses.]

[mercyless]

[ i'll just go and kill my own character then!! ]

[ yeah no val. nice try. ]

How the hell?

[ you figured that out yet? ]

[sawedoff]

[if u cant beat them sic them on each other]

You don't even wanna know.

[think of the stupidest thing you could do and then make it 10x stupider]

[mercyless]

[ ok she's not gonna even guess. ]

[ but yeah. you could have told this all sooner. she's not going to stop breathing on her neck entirely but this all is slowly starting to make sense. ]

[ don't expect any apologies tho. ]

[sawedoff]

[sorry he'll send a memo through the company email next time]

So you and Nick huh.

[tit for tat uncomfortable conversation girl]

[mercyless]

[ so? at least he didn't return from the dead. nothing uncomfortable here mr. bowlegs. ]

None of your business.
