[oh, cool. She just watches him, mildly.]

Not to your taste?

[tearduct]

[He glances at her.]

Hunting.

[He

stares at her very strangely, almost like an interested appraisal. He....really just stares and that's it.]

[outsidebones]

[haha help. well. harrow can't react to things normally and this mental breakdown is very interesting to her, she meets his expression right back.]

I see. What are you hunting for, and why?

[tearduct]

Animals in the water.

[He turns to face the water again, but doesn't try to throw any more food into it. Not that he exactly has much else. He really threw it all in.]

To destroy them.

[outsidebones]

I see. It is something of a relief to know that others are faring worse than I am this week.

[she sighs, but to be honest she's a little worried about him, so she doesn't just leave like she thinks she probably should.]

It will probably destroy them to eat any of that food.

[tearduct]

[His head glances back at her with some confusion, only to return to regarding hte water's surface watchfully.]

Those are the weak ones not worth fighting.

[outsidebones]

Ah.

[well that's probably none of them she was just lying but. it's fine.]

How long have you been feeling this way? Did you drink something, or has it been since the morning?

[tearduct]

[His brows furrow suddenly, then they loosen again.]

I’ve always felt this way… [Wait, that isn't right.] I have’t drank anything.

This morning.

[outsidebones]

Ah.

[she frowns, twisting her hands together.]

I suspect it will be this way for a few days, though I dearly hope not. Perhaps I should call someone to keep an eye on you. I could call Gideon, or Ryo, or Eto.

[tearduct]

[…

His head swivels around, and he looks at her. Slowly, he turns and prowls closer until he’s in her space.

He leans down so he can stare at her eye-level.]

You’ll call Eto, huh?

[outsidebones]

Yes, if you would like.

[what's the problem?]

[tearduct]

[A slow smirk curls his lips back.]

Yeah? Call her to come get me then, priestess.

[outsidebones]

Very well.

[she will try to text! it doesn't send, it bounces. but she sees fine with that.]

[tearduct]

[He watches her do this with much interest. When she doesn't get any kind of reply, his smile grows.]

Not answering...?

[outsidebones]

Hmm, no. She may be busy at the moment. [...] Explain why you are staring at me.

[tearduct]

[He reaches out to put his hand over hers and the phone and push it down.]

She's definitely busy. [This seems to delight him a little.] She's busy being dead again after Four killed her.

[outsidebones]

Oh.

[she looks confused for a second, and then angry for a moment, but the expression passes and she tries to look unaffected.]

Yes, of course. I misspoke - I was speaking of Itto.

[tearduct]

[He watches this, and the lingering amusement doesn't leave his face.]

As if Itto could stop me. [Cease being weird, begging.] Do you remember who died before Eto? The week before.

[outsidebones]

[she does have to think about it even though she's trying to be confident.]

Of course I remember. It was Magnus and Abigail.

[tearduct]

[Help him, why does this delight him so much. He leans back in place and laughs darkly. Oh.

It's entertaining somehow.]

Sure. What else have you forgotten, priestess?

[outsidebones]

[making an irritated sound in her throat.]

You are obnoxious like this. It is fortunate for you that I feel sorry for you.

[tearduct]

That's because you have a weak human heart. It will make you easier to kill.

[He is being insulted, but somehow is too stupid for it to bother him.]

But I could protect you if you become my mate.

[outsidebones]

...Sadly, I must decline. I will simply have to protect myself.

[tearduct]

[how dare she reject him, a great warrior]

You will perish like the rest then.

[outsidebones]

I am sorry to hear that. Well, I will go off to perish now.
