The sun rises and the forest is very quiet. No sign of the guards. Maybe Jakky and Jessica found out a way to distract them or maybe she just ate them all... you'll never know. That's good news so try not to dwell on it.

If you keep your eyes on the skyline you may notice a pack of crows flying past. When you travel the flora and fauna around you change like they should, but those damn birds are just here to stay apparently. Someone really paranoid might think they're following you, haha!

[ mission: move on. ]

[fairyvagina]

[looks over her shoulder and resumes shedding her pack]

What, we're gonna be suspicious of the birds now too?

[thisbites]

[ takes it from her without comment. ]

Suspicious, no. Just saying, you know. Depending on how long they stick around.

[fairyvagina]

[probably more often since they were previously a long lost plot point]

Yeah, you're right. I can't imagine what it'd be we pissed off now.

[always starting shit with monkeys and psychotic barbers and burning wagons]

[thisbites]

[ shoulders her pack along with his own. he doesn't reach to her neck to rub it for her since both hands are occupied with bags now. ]

[ shrugs with his eyebrows. ]

Even laying low, staying off the grid, hell, going off map, this group can't keep its nose clean.

[fairyvagina]

[it's okay, she'll work at it herself for a lil bit.]

[takes a deep breath and with a sort of look that agrees. it's defeated, mostly because they really can't be assed to actually stop anyone from doing stupid things. they just do it. there is no order here]

You think we'd be able to figure it out by now, but I guess we just attract trouble like a fiddler attracts a square dance.

[thisbites]

[ almost trips when she says that. ]

[ for all his preternatural speed and wolf reflexes, he straight up almost fucking trips. ]

...Like a f--

[ scowly mouth spasms a second-- ]

[thisbites]

[ bursts out laughing. ]

[fairyvagina]

[let's have it on record that we all saw that]

[just kind of turns to watch him while she tries to keep it together. snorts, just a little. im good. im together]

What? It totally does.

[thisbites]

[ this california boy is having

he's having a moment. ]

[fiddlerattractsasquaredancesweetjesustakethewheel]

[ can't help but have the idiot-feelings thought that she is something really special. ]

I'll take-- [ coughs into his shoulder to try and get ahold of himself here. bring it in man. be cool. ] I'll take your word for it.

[fairyvagina]

[now she's feeling self conscious about her southernness. but only a little.]

[watches him pull it back together. now a bit incredulous]

You don't have sayings like that in the west?

[thisbites]

None that cute--

[ he doesn't even give a shit about cute things. ]

I'm sorry. Sorry. Culturally insensitive. [ he shouldn't tease her about her southernness because she's never teased him about his wolf-face and the way his eyebrows kind of disappear or his whiskers get seriously 19th century. ]

[fairyvagina]

[folds arms and turns back to walking]

No, it's fine. I've just never seen you laugh that hard.

[thisbites]

[ oh w

that makes him pause for a second, before he notices that her tiny fairy legs are outstripping him and then he rushes to catch up. ]

...The temple. The trial. I feel...I feel different now.

[fairyvagina]

[tilts head at him as she turns to watch him catch up]

You do seem a little bit....lighter.

[moodwise not weightwise]

[thisbites]

[ huffs, because of having to hustle and because it's funny. ]

You know about what happened...I mean, I haven't exactly kept it under lock and key up here.

[ lets his arm brush her shoulder once they're in step. ]

It hurts still. I don't think it'll ever stop. [ but i didn't light that match. ]

[fairyvagina]

[turns back with him once he's caught up and watches for a moment. of course she knows, but it's still a process.]

But it's not holdin' you back anymore.

[thisbites]

[ eyebrows give a quick lift of assent. ]

Nail, head. [ looks down at her instead of at the road. ]

Every action, I was afraid of the reaction. I don't want that to hold me back anymore.

[fairyvagina]

[studies him for a moment before cracking a small smile]

It'll be really good for you. I can see it already.

[thisbites]

[ leans down a little until their faces are somewhat closer and hopes she gets the hint to listen up. ]

[ kind of planning on making sure it'll be really good for you ]

[fairyvagina]

[and the eyebrow levels slowly rise]

[fairyvagina]

[looks back towards the group for a second. keep it cool, sookie, you can do this. don't look too excited now, you've only been waiting like a month. it's an honest surprise that Bo hasn't picked up on all her pent up sexual frustration because she's like a bottle of soda that's been rolling around the bottom of someone's bag. although really most of it is subsided by wolf cuddles and bitching about things.

but yeah. anyway. cool.]

When's the next pit stop..?

[thisbites]

[ suddenly very keen to know that, too. ]

The hell is Dean with that map?

[ looks up from making sex-eyes at her (he hopes they're sex eyes, he's seriously out of practice) to try and pinpoint bowleggins in their little pedestrian caravan. ]

...where the hell is Dean, period.

[ him and nick and the scrawny one. they've been gone an awful long time. ]

[fairyvagina]

[always.]

[stops to think and her expression slowly blands.]

Suicide mission. Vengeance. Monster huntin'. Pick two.

[thisbites]

[ this is why we can't have nice things ]

Then it's behind door number two. [ nods ahead at the Knight of Asbergers and plucky girl sidekick pestering him about something or other. ]

[fairyvagina]

I'm sure they'll fish him out if he does something incredibly stupid. He went off on his own, which means at least we don't gotta worry about him havin' the map. At least he has enough sense.

[but seriously dude.]
