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!

[ arches her eyebrows. just doing his job? yeah, probably, definitely not doing it for hook. it doesn't really matter why to her anyway, but it would be a lie to say that she isn't curious and dean dodging her question was not helpful ]

I'm just saying, you had your soul on the line. You're at least a little relieved, no? [ purses lips. his soul. that's kinda funny ]

[cabineyes]

[ yeah it's pretty funny. ]

Of course. Don't I look relieved?

[ he's all smiles. ]

[crotchbite]

[ he's always all smiles and it's usually bullshit so that's never something to go off on ]

Sure, very.

[cabineyes]

[ yeah he's relieved to some extent but at the same time he's still slightly pissed off because he really wanted that satan deal to work out. could have had rumpel!! but no. at least the bitch got what she deserved. ]

Should I start weeping tears of joy for you to believe me?

[ no one wants to see that. ]

[crotchbite]

[ turns to him with raises eyebrows ]

What's with the attitude? [ they are usually slappy fighting and banter a lot but you know, lately he has been a bit too much ]

[cabineyes]

Have you been keeping a close eye on me again, sister?

That's sweet of you.

[ it's the temple. what else. brushes past her. don't ruin his fun now. ]

[crotchbite]

[ narrows her eyes and grabs his arm as he passes by, frowning at him ]

I'm serious.

[cabineyes]

[ looks at the arm. ]

[ looks at her. ]

What?

[ you found out about the satan thing. what else do you want to know? ]

[crotchbite]

What's wrong with you lately? Did you sit on a stick and it's still up your ass?

[cabineyes]

You weren't that cheerful yourself a few days ago.

[ almost jumped into that river head first. ]

[crotchbite]

[ didn't jump at all don't be ridiculous, she won't just give up like that ]

Don't be a dick. [ sensitive subject. ]

[cabineyes]

Oh, watch the language.

[ nailed it. ]

[crotchbite]

[ she lets go of his arm and straightens up, tilting her chin up a little as she gives him one of her bitch glares ]

What happened to you in the temple?

[cabineyes]

Ran into a group of lonely and very beautiful widows.

Needless to say... They appreciated the company.

[ what do you think happened? honestly. ]

[crotchbite]

[ she has put two and two together, she's pretty sure she knows what he saw in there (well, part of it anyway) she was just giving him a chance to be honest for a change

lol. ]

You know, whatever you saw, it wasn't real. [ drops her head a little ] It was just a trick to make you give up something you hold dear.

[cabineyes]

Oh I know enough of tricks, love.

[ magic suuuucks. ]

I know enough to recognize them and yet...

[ pauses. and yet it was enough to bring back details of her face that he had long forgotten. dirty tricks. ]

[crotchbite]

[ couldn't even have the satisfaction of putting a bullet through her face...

she looks back up to him ]

You saw her, didn't you? [ it's either that or he saw his ~mortal enemy~

or maybe it was scurvy ]

[cabineyes]

[ some serious temple trauma in this thread. ]

[ watches her for a moment before answering. it wasn't that hard to figure out now was it. ]

Yes.

I did.

[crotchbite]

[ she just looks at him for a while in silence, before taking a step closer to him and fixing his jacket. it doesn't need fixing but she does it anyway, then grabs the collar and gives it a tug, just to make sure she's not being Nice ]

Then use that for your motivation, not to be a fucking idiot.

[cabineyes]

[ thanks for filling his daily manhandling quota. just stands there like he always does when hot scary ladies are being rough with him. ]

Trust me, I will.

The memory of her is the only thing that drives me forward. Seeing her face in front of me made me remember everything that happened like it was only yesterday.

[ oohhkay there was also that tiny part where rumpel took a piss on his manly Pride but let's not mention that. sshh. he's doing this all for his love ok. ]

[crotchbite]

[ that's what she's here for

she's keeping eye contact and is Uncomfortably Close to him, but a second later she's licking her lower lip and leaning her face back, giving his jacket one last tug. ]

You should. [ picks up her bag and starts walking

you coming or what ]

[cabineyes]

[ he's not sure what just went down. ]

[ but ok. ]

[ it happens. crazy ladies treat him like that all the time. follows after a moment of confusion. ]

[crotchbite]

[ she has her reasons. manipulation and what have you and besides, she can get behind the whole revenge deal. it's her job.

err, was. ]

What was it? [ after a moment of silence ] What did you have to give? [ she showed you hers, you show her yours kind of tone ]

[cabineyes]

[ if only she had showed him hers. ]

Nothing of much value.

[ no seriously it could have been worse. he's not about to die before taking care of rumpel. ]

[crotchbite]

[ if it happens it probably means that he's having a dream or he creeped up on her ]

Care to elaborate on that? [ not a request ]
