"We only have three days until the IF blows this rock to smithereens. We'll have to evacuate everyone in a little while. And I think you could probably teleport is outta here."
-
"That's the plan. Get us all to hell, stay there for a day or two, then get to the Avalon"
-
Varn: "Wait... Doesn't your son run Hell?"
-
"Brother. Jarhal decided to go upstairs and join that nut who named himself after his job. He then cut all ties with me, and yeah. So, my adopted brother Cthulhu runs it, with his wife"
-
"Cthulhu has a wife? That's... Actually really cool."
-
"Yeah, a female Cthulhu. Funnily enough his son is like, 5 feet tall rather than 500"
-
"I have to see that. It sounds adorable." Marie: "That's shorter than me."
-
"And not as cute. And Varn, you'd be surprised how chill C is. Like, he's probably going to offer you a drink and some cash rather than actually rule hell"
-
"Probably. The image I had in my head before you told me that was an H.P. Lovecraft like representation."
-
[b]He chuckles a bit. [/b]"we should probably get back to the settlement"
-
"Yeah."
-
"Let's go then" [b]he says, standing and walking[/b]
-
[b]They follow, Marie a lot closer than before.[/b]
-
[b]They arrive, and Hunter sits by the fire, as it is now night[/b]
-
[b][Marie sits down beside him, and Varn sits across them./b] Varn: "Judging by my sensors, I'd say that Marie is happier than she has during her entire time in FN."
-
[b]He pulls his phone and texts you. [/b] [i]Varn. Mind doing me a favor and leaving for a bit? Just head to the barracks?[/i]
-
[b]He gets a text back.[/b] [i]No problem. See you later.[/i] [b]Varn leaves.[/b]
-
[b]He nonchalantly checks the distance between him and Marie [/b]
-
[b]She's only a few inches off to the left.[/b]
-
[b]he moves in, closing the remaining gap[/b]
-
[b]She smiles as he does so. It seems Varn was right. She's really happy.[/b]
-
[b]He casually puts his arm around her[/b]
-
[b]She rests her head on his shoulder.[/b]
-
[b]He rests the left side of his head on the top of hers[/b]
-
"I bet we look funny right now." [b]She chuckles softly.[/b]
