I nodded and let go of her hand to pick him up bridal style. He was shorter than I was, but more solidly built, so I grunted a little. Though, despite this, he was probably a little lighter than he /should've/ been. Just how much of him was wood? ....and how do I unlock the door now?

She immediately noticed his hands were full. "Here, I got it." She reached over, slipped her hand into his pocket, and pulled out the key. Before he collapsed on her from Madison's weight, she unlocked the door for him.

"Ah -- thank you." I slipped inside and set him down on the couch, taking the opportunity to examine his hand more closely. It was easily noticeable by the wood being darker than his skin, and every knuckle was a joint...how will he manage to hide /that/?

●

"Welcome." She set the key on the table. She unzipped her jacket and placed it on the table as well. It was a little damp from her little ice fit, so why not let it dry? Seculus has already seen her scars, so she had nothing to really hide.

I sat down on the back of the couch and watched her. "...I can toss that in the dryer if you want."

●

"Please?" She sat down on the couch next to him.

I took her jacket and my sweater and went to the laundry room to put them in the dryer, turning it on "warm up", then returned to my perch.

●

"Thank you." She spoke once he returned.

I smiled a little. "You're welcome." I looked over my shoulder at the sleeping man, the corner of his mouth twitching downwards occasionally in a scared expression. "...why did he come to /me/, anyways? Did you tell him how to fix it?"

●

She shook her head. "I think he just...assumed you could?"

2015-10-27 04:47:22

🌀

"That could've been a dangerous assumption to make."

2015-10-27 04:48:10

●

"Well, what choice did he really have?"

2015-10-27 04:48:44

🌀

"I would have thought he just wouldn't do anything."

2015-10-27 04:49:49

●

"Lance would kill him if he let me die."

2015-10-27 04:50:19

🌀

"Well....that's true." I sighed. For a moment I thought he'd done it because he cared.

●

"...Hey." She took his hand again. "At least I'm not an icicle right now."

2015-10-27 04:53:52

🌀

"...there's that, at least. But now Lucinda knows how to get you killed."

2015-10-27 04:55:42

●

"...Not anymore."

2015-10-27 04:56:13

🌀

"What does that mean?"

2015-10-27 04:56:31

●

"She's gone, Seculus." It felt nice to say that. It really did. "She's not in my head anymore."

2015-10-27 04:57:25

🌀

I stared at her for a second, feeling a smile slowly growing on my face. "Really? So she can't hurt you anymore!"

2015-10-27 04:58:26

●

She couldn't help but return the smile. "Yes, really. I even kicked her out of the shop myself."

2015-10-27 04:59:26

🌀

"And you didn't get shot?"

2015-10-27 04:59:39

●

"The only bullet she had missed."

2015-10-27 04:59:53

🌀

".......she only had one bullet. Huh."
