And why on earth would I do that? You only have what. . . Five left?

Blinks.

‘Why? Are you planning on ending the rest?’

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

And which life is this one?

[𝑴𝒊𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒚𝒂. @VigorousYapper]

𝓒 ⤅

Is alive.

"It has not been. . ." Give him a tick.

He looks at the clock and does see how long it's been. He rather not admit that he's wrong either.

"Right, well, it is something Tragic Mick had found. Have been trying to translate it."

[✦ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 ✦ @DtectivRowland]

Cue to a little grin.

"What's all this? It's been hours and you haven't taken your eyes off of it."

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

He doesn't need to look up to know Charles is behind him trying to look. It's as if he just knows the other for so long, he knows what this feels like.

"Yes?"

[ً @holyaches]

we were friends that spoke like lovers and that seemed to be enough for two teenagers who were scared to love one another.

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

It's quite alright, Cat King. It has not bothered me over these decades.

But, uh. . . Hypothetically speaking, if I ghost were to pet you in your feline form, would you feel it?

[𝕮𝖆𝖙 𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 🐾 @OneTrueCatKing]

Oh damn... I'm sorry... I totally forgot that.

If I had a nickel for every time I had to explain the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, I would have two nickels. I don't like this game.

1. To a man named Charles
2. To my friend who is very Charles coded

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

You do realise I would not feel it, considering I am a ghost.

[𝕮𝖆𝖙 𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 🐾 @OneTrueCatKing]

I mean my feline fur is indeed super soft. I'd let you pet me anytime.

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

Super soft? Is this a feline reference?

[𝕮𝖆𝖙 𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 🐾 @OneTrueCatKing]

Of course. I'm super soft for you.

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland when they are so close to escaping.

He takes his hand and intertwines his fingers with his. He isn't planning on losing Charles or falling behind.

With the grimoire destroyed, she would be losing strength soon. Possibly when the sun comes.

if you cannot go to paradise when you die， you can always stay with me.

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland Stressful situations sometimes make one forget they have a brain. It's why Edwin was glad he was able to think for a moment and realise they were ghosts.

He nods. "Just go straight to the house to the mirror." He keeps his voice soft. He doesn't need the witch finding them now >

@DtectivRowland just walk through the crop without making any sound.

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland Edwin gives a nod understanding what Charles is trying to say.

He looks at the field in front of them. They could walk through the crops like a person, causing the crunch of leaves and bending of the stalks. Or. . .

He leans forward, "We're ghosts." he whispers. They could >

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland with a glare that tells him to stay still as well.

The crunching sound goes again, but from the volume of it tells Edwin it's heading away from them. Then he loosens his hand on the other's mouth and backs up, giving Charles space.

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland The crunch of the crops being crushed under weight still echoes through the still night. At first it comes closer to them, but there for a few seconds there is silence, one that isn't as deafening as hell, but feels close to it.

Edwin keeps himself still looking at Charles >

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland He stops as he hears a crunch of dried crops behind him. He doesn't want to look back. He knows that something is lurking behind them.

He reaches over to Charles and cover his mouth to make sure he doesn't dare say a work. Still. They should stay still.

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland If Edwin reads them to him, would he be up to hearing the conclusion to any of the mythologies? It had been a while since he has read them himself.

He sighs. "Right. Well, maybe you should read them, Charles." He keeps his voice low as he follows the other through the crops.

>

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland that?

That isn't their problem right now. It's the fact they are hiding in the field trying to get back to the house. He heads straight, keeping one of the constellations north of him.

[𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓮 @1916Ghost]

@DtectivRowland "You know the books are in the office." He says, looking over at Charles. It's not his usual spite, since his heart is holding him back. It's been like that for a while if Charles has noticed. "The same book with Orpheus and Eurydice." He adds. Had Charles even gotten back to >
