@ShinRasRufus "I suppose I should be used to it by now but. . ." She sighs.
"Haru and I are back in town to track them down. . . But its not safe for your niece. . . No where is. . . Except for with you."
@ShinRasRufus "Ugh. . . You're still SO infuriating."
Shaking her head, fingers presses to her temples.
"My relationship status isn't what's important here. . . The ones who attacked us were sporting the Shinra insignia. So if it wasn't you. . . then you're being framed."
@TheSerpentsFist He'd nearly given her a fright. Evident by the light gasp she gave upon feeling his hand make contact with her shoulder.
"Haru. . . What if I was armed just now??"
Admitting that she wasn't. . . Oops.
"You just can't stand to see me happy, can you?!"
Oops, composure gone. She grits her teeth then takes another deep breath.
"This is a serious matter."
Eyes narrow at her slightly.
Is she really questioning him right now?
โDo I have to honour that with an answer?! Of course not! Though, Iโm partially annoyed I never considered it. Kudos who tried it.โ
/Not/ her baby daddy. . . but he's done worse things. Or so she's been told.
"Do you promise?" She hated questioning him. Hated that there was any room for doubt in her mind. . . and she could sense the tension between them. Gradually building from her accusations.
โAs much as Iโd /like/ to see the back of him, I havenโt ordered a hit on his lifeโฆ this time.โ Rufusโ eyes narrow slightly at the other.
Yes, heโs capable, but does she really think thatโs all heโs to do with his time?
Put a bounty on her baby daddy?
@TheSerpentsFist - the consequences that'd come from involving me. . . They aren't trying to incur the wrath of my brother. . . . " She muttered under her breath, halting in her tracks as she pondered the thought further.
Then turning quickly on her heel.
"It's a bust, Haru."
@TheSerpentsFist Priscilla wandered through the dimly lit alleyway. Gaze shifting from side to sound, hearing nothing aside from her own footsteps. . .
. . . . Maybe it truly wasn't her they were after? Even so, she'd be a perfect target to lure out their actual prize.
"Must be afraid of -
@TheSerpentsFist "Like it. . . ? Don't be airing out my dirty laundry like that."
She spoke out loud, pausing to see if he'd humor her further. The streets were uncomfortably empty. Just as they'd planned. . . Now if only their pursuers would take the bait. . .

A careless whisper in the dark beckons her forward. Her gaze wide yet unable to see what lies ahead.
She has only two choices. To stay put or to move forward, allowing the whisper to guide her.
But staying -
