"Right." I helped her to her feet, taking the knife from the woman's limp hand as I did so. Wouldn't want her armed when she woke up.

She stood up, and shoved her hands into her pockets. Well, this is going to be one hell of an explanation to Tassek when they get back.

2015-05-25 02:22:49

🌀

Tassek returned from school to find everyone gone except Anndrea, who was intently focused on Warlock. "....uh? Where'd Terezi go?!"

2015-05-25 02:26:13

●

Her gaze went to Tassek for a second then back to the bird. "She went out with Seculus for a bit. She'll be fine."

"You sure? He's not really...." Not really what? The best bodyguard? The most positive? Both could be said, he thought, but maybe not in front of his girlfriend. She was a little scary.

2015-05-25 02:36:00

●

"He may not be the best but he is most certainly better than nothing." She smiled at the bird, who was just utterly thrilled that she was there.

🌀

Better than nothing, huh? "That could be said for anything. Except a disease."

2015-05-25 02:42:03

●

"But in this case would you like for her to be alone. Hm?" She stroked the top of the birds head. "He's very pretty, you know." Yes, subject change. Anndrea was wonderful at those.

2015-05-25 02:44:58

🌀

What, Seculus? "Sure, I guess, uh..."

2015-05-25 02:47:05

●

"How long have you had him?" The bird chirped happily. "He seems awfully fond of me already."

2015-05-25 02:48:44

🌀

"What....my...whole life?" He's confused. "Yeah, that's kind of obvious."

2015-05-25 02:52:22

●

Anndrea giggled. "I meant the bird, Tassek." The small creature didn't look THAT old.

2015-05-25 02:53:21

🌀

"...oh. Since I moved to New York." Well, that was awkward.

2015-05-25 02:54:35

●

"Well he seems to like you very much." Warlocke nuzzled her finger. "It's a shame Terezi can't be near animals. I'm sure she'd love this bird if it did not scream at her."

2015-05-25 02:57:13

🌀

"Nah, he yells at me every chance he gets. I bet if she fed him he'd love her forever, vampire or not."

2015-05-25 02:58:07

●

"Or scratch her." She straightened out after giving Warlocke one last stroke. "Speaking of which, hows her dog bite?"

2015-05-25 03:00:12

🌀

He blinked. "Her /what/?!"

2015-05-25 03:00:43

●

She frowned. "She didn't tell her a German Sheppard bit her? Oh my."

2015-05-25 03:01:16

🌀

"No, no she didn't! What else happened while she was gone that she didn't tell me about?!"

2015-05-25 03:03:44

●

Oh goodness. "Okay. Okay. I'll explain everything. Just please calm down." Having him worried was the last Terezi needed.

2015-05-25 03:06:44

🌀

He took a deep breath. He didn't want to pass out right now. "...okay. Fine." He plopped himself down on the couch, arms crossed and looking frustrated. "Seriously. I wish she'd at least /mention/ these things."

2015-05-25 03:07:52

●

She moved from the kitchen to the living room. "I think she just does it because she thinks it will make things better." Anndrea sat down on the couch as well, crossing her legs.

2015-05-25 03:09:41

🌀

"Well, it doesn't. It just keeps me from being able to help with everything."

2015-05-25 03:11:00

●

" I understand that much. She can be so stubborn sometimes when it comes to accepting help."

2015-05-25 03:12:09

🌀

"That's an understatement." He sighed. "So what else happened, then?"
