retellers | AUDIENCE: LUP

[ he sighs and. honestly he will bridal carry her because it's easier, just swoops in and picks her up ]

C'mon, before you croak out in the woods.

[ she yelps! a little! but then very carefully settles into his bridal carry because she could get used to this? hm. ]

I'm already dead! Can't die twice.

[ he's not blanca big but he is stronk,, and he makes a face at that ]

Yeah, well. You'd be surprised. [ anyway they get through the castle to his... church, where he will gently deposit her on the cot this time. it's. not that uncomfortable for a cheap cot, at least. ] Feels like you get more injured than anyone else in this place.

[ she really likes being carried around by stronk boys actually

she settles on the cot and sighs out slow, pulling her robes closer. ]

I do not. Soo-won had a fucking hole through his chest. [ :unamused: ] I just am more, uh - breakable, so it looks worse!

[ a pause, then: ] I'm sorry about Bucky. I was - I was really trying to get suspicion off him.

Yeah, but he hasn't gotten injured since.

[ wolf is kind of. hovering over her. he's forgotten to take off his mask give him a bit, but at the comment he just... looks away with a shrug ]

... S'fine. Karma, probably.

[ wolf please - she shifts? to make room for him? sit down you're making her nervous ]

Hmm, well. That sure sounds like a confirmation that he killed someone. Was it Raven? Or Sumi?

[ ... fine, he'll sit over the edge gingerly. though he looks taken aback at what she says ]

What? No. [ hm. probably shouldn't have admitted to that, but. ] Meant... for the team. We've gotten away with it twice and been first the rest of the time. Luck was bound to turn at some point.

[ pblhththttt she wanted to be right about her guess ]

... Guess so. [ she reaches for him a little, just - to like, hold his arm or something. maybe she is worried. ] There's only four of us left now.

[ he'll let her, sighing, even though it makes it harder for him to take off his mask, ]

... Yeah. I know.

[ i'm letting you get away with not embedding icons for now ]

Are you safe? Or is this the bad number?

[ thanks for my life. wolf is still looking out at the flower patch, because those are important. ]

I'm fine.

Are you sure - like, don't lie to me.

[ ... damn it. ... he sighs, taking off his mask ]

... I don't need the Realm's protection to take care of myself.

Wolf.

[ she is!! distressed!! ] I have some sort of power back this week. I'll make sure nothing happens.

You can barely walk. [ dubiously. ] I'll be fine. If anyone's looking for a fight, they'll be sorry.

Please, I can walk fine. I just like making you and Blanca carry me.

[ sniff. ] ... I want you to be safe.

[ press x to doubt at that first part, but he settles a bit and turns towards her ]

I will be. Been in a lot worse danger than people potentially trying to take a crack at me. [ ... ] Take care of yourself first, alright?

[ she smiles a little at that. ]

You and the rest of them have no faith in me! I can take care of myself. I'll be okay. [ probably ]

Can I ask you a question?

You haven't got a great track record.

[ he's already made the "Since when do you ask" joke earlier this week, so he just nods instead, looking curious ]

[ nyehhh ]

Do you have someone working for you on your team? Just tell me. I've found like, all the rest of them on the other ones and I refuse to believe you're the only one without.

Then don't believe it.

[ why's he gotta be like that ]

[ she SIGHS. ]

Alright, make it hard on the rest of them, then. [ pbblhththtt ]

[ tilts his head ]

Your collection, you mean?

My collection! Of people who just kick my door like hey, Ruby, guess what, I have special powers!

Guess if there is another one, you'll have to work for it this time.
