[leonheartedly]

. . . was someone driving it, or - ?

[adorabrawler]

Sooo... Remember that wolf we fought when we went on our rescue mission?

[leonheartedly]

It was that asshole?

[adorabrawler]

Yep. Same guy.

[leonheartedly]

[IMMEDIATE SCOWL]

Did you get to punch him this time?

[adorabrawler]

I wish, but my hands were full.

[ with body!!! ]

And... we were trying to avoid a fight this time.

[leonheartedly]

[he actually looks a little relieved at that]

Ah - well, good.

So did he just - show up with a truck out of nowhere? What happened?

[adorabrawler]

Well... So we went to the cave we heard was nearby the mansion, and I broke her body out of the crystal she was encased in, and I guess he must've sensed that somehow? He started yelling at us through Warden, but he caught up to us once we decided to leave.

[leonheartedly]

Christ. The mansion is where you met him the first time, yeah? And - that's where the truck comes in?

[adorabrawler]

Yep. Nearly ran us over, too.

[leonheartedly]

Asshole.

[it's worth saying again] - you seem all right, but you are, right? Didn't get hurt?

[adorabrawler]

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm, uh—really good at running when it counts.

[leonheartedly]

That's an important skill to have, you know.

[adorabrawler]

I'm not a fan of running away, but after today? I can see the value in it.

[leonheartedly]

Heh. Think of it as a tactical retreat instead of running away.

[adorabrawler]

A tactical retreat, then. [ heh. ] We had such a hard time fighting him last time that we decided we weren't going to do the same again. Not until we can figure out a better way.

[leonheartedly]

Understandably. I'm glad you guys went that route, even if the truck shit happened.

Glad you're all right, too.

[adorabrawler]

... Honestly? Me too. I knew there was a chance he could show up again, but that was kind of scary.

[leonheartedly]

Hah . . . I bet.

[he drops a hand on her head, gently ruffling]

Just being chased by a truck is scary enough.

[adorabrawler]

[ ruffle, ruffle ]

Even worse when you're carrying two people.

[leonheartedly]

Two?

[adorabrawler]

I had Warden, too. He's not very heavy, but I still had to protect him.

[leonheartedly]

Ah, well. Looks like you did that, yeah?

. . . still. That is worse.

[adorabrawler]

Well! At least that's probably the last time I'll have a truck come after me?

[leonheartedly]

Probably. I don't want to say more than that and accidentally jinx you.
