The night falls and the guards still haven't found you. Lucky! Try to keep it that way.

The people who went to the city should be back soon and then you can hit the road in the morning. That's the plan, right?

[ mission: keep quiet. ]

[there's a little in the closet when it comes to him. ...yeah]

[eyebrows climb and mouth turns down, tilting his head back like he doesn't exactly know what to say to that right away. i mean, lesbians, awesome for one thing, but he's only run across a record screeching total of one in his entire personal career so the how to approach is still a little dicey. he doesn't mean to objectify you hel but come on you do it to yourself]

Yeah we- we all know. Especially hot boobscubus, right?

[he's teasing but there's a note of overprotective buddyzoned to it, because shacking up with something that survives off you is generally a slippery slope and he'd hate to have to fish her corpse out of the pussywagon]

[crotchbite]

[ yeah she knows. it's the whole being gay thing. though she has no business with it. ]

[ it's not objectifying if she wants it now is it? well okay it is but it's not bad because she knows what she's selling, she doesn't have any complexes about her appearance

tilts her head a little at him and just watches him for a moment. not about the whole deal that bo and her have their thing going on, whatever, but more about the fact that apparently he knows what she is and hasn't given her shit yet. she'd throw a pissy fight if he did, all things considered

then again she already had a Talk with her but that was because she almost sucked her life out that one time ]

Yeah, I guess. [ the question is there. like oh so you know about her whole succubus thing how does that make you feel ]

[sawedoff]

[how do you think it makes him feel, dr phil. he's made no secrets about his monster distrust, but he's also not going to whack her on principle, just like the rest of the clawed and fanged monsterfest they have going on 24/7. in his experience, most monsters want to kill you, not be your friend. but this group seems to have found every single friendly monster in the entire universe, so as long as they keep their claws to themselves he's riding the wave]

How's that working out for you?

[there's a pause before he gets back to her with a question instead of an answer to her unspoken one, a lift of his eyebrows that communicates a general openness to the situation. it's a forced openness, like he's very not okay with it, because it's all very sam and ruby circa s4 and that ended pretty bloody for all parties involved. there's also the fact that he knows shitall about bo and her particular case of succubusness, and he wouldn't even begin to know how to put her down, so it's a good thing she's playing nice]

[crotchbite]

[ that's why she's surprised he didn't talk to her but then again he doesn't seem to have talked to the teleknisis boy either so maybe he is getting used to it. she is adapting very slowly to the situation on her own terms. she would definitely be all for shoot their knees, ask questions and kill them depending on the answers, but she's Better than that now (no)

arches eyebrows up at him with a tilt of her head and a smile ]

Do you want details? [ she got the message, but fucking with him is making her mood improve a little. so nice.

shakes her head before he pisses himself and holds a hand up ]

Don't worry about it.

[sawedoff]

[yes. yes he wants details. there's no internet connection in middle earth. what is he supposed to do for porn. he looks very receptive to this idea until she puts a hand up]

Don't worry about it even though I should, or don't worry cus there's nothing to worry about?

[he is attempting to approach this as delicately as possible because he doesn't intend to set her off. they seem to have an arrangement and an understanding, but he doesn't want to see her get taken advantage of by a sweet talking monster]

[crotchbite]

[ you know, she has kind of found out that sweet talking monsters are almost always human and she's not as worried about bo turning on her because if you're willing to admit you are a literal monster, you ought to admit you are a backstabbing bitch and bo is kind of the opposite so far ]

She's one of the good guys, regardless of her nature. So there's nothing to worry about. [ it's shit that she is though if she was a meaner motherfucker she probably wouldn't care so much ]

[sawedoff]

[nods, slow like he's accepting it, before clearing his throat as if to dismiss the topic and leaning over to tie his bag back up and pull it up with him as he rolls over onto his feet]

Okay. That's enough gossip girl. I gotta take a leak. You got first watch?

[crotchbite]

[ nods to him and gets up too, picking up her crossbow and bolts quiver, tying it to her waist ] Yeah, don't worry about it.

[ she's going to take a quick look around the opposite perimeter to check out if there's anything to be prepared for and also see if there's any signs of the other three. they better have not been captured. ]
