Ill as they ever were.

[He purses his lips. Takes a breath, takes a swig.

Then holds the bottle up for him.]


Looks like I'll have to take your death threats for serious now. Little more mortal than we all thought we were, huh?

[Wow you come from actual feudal times and his mouth is what gives you the ick???

actually valid tho as you were.

He retracts the bottle, but doesn't take a second gulp. Rather he caps it, and rests it at his side.]


...Yeah. We were holed up together. [His gaze remains distance, fixed on the horizon.] Us and about nine or ten other people with the same bright idea to get a shower in before bed. Then the door locked.

We tried to bust it down but if Marcoh couldn't do it, then it sure as shit wasn't happening. We all passed out later. And in the morning, she was just gone.

[what's the harm in one more]

Plus the two of us. [Looking a little strained....he would have turned around and left if he'd been afforded the chance okay]

That she did. [He nods, softly. His jaw is clenching tight though, and he looks to her with something sharp behind broad glass lenses.]

If she tried to wake any of us, it didn't work. And whatever held us back all night didn't stop her. And communications were cut out. Maybe the angels were taken by surprise, finding one of their charges dead. Maybe they weren't.

It's just hard not to believe she wasn't led to her grave. It was a pretty slick set up if you ask me.
