“Oh, BITE ME.” The ginger growls, taking a step forward as she eyes him up and down, “You think I’m afraid of YOU? Clearly you haven’t met my BROTHER. So fuck off.”

“   oh, i’m sorry, but uh ... i don’t recall ever threatenin’ you. i’ve got no intent to make you afraid of me, either. i just don’t like liars.   ”

“Oh you know…I went hunting,” he said with a smile. “We were running a little low on meat, and I was bored. If I’m being honest.” Fox gave him a soft shrug and cleared his throat. He gestured to the black bag to his left. “We have at least one person that we can turn into food.”

cyrus eyes the bag,   “   uh-huh ...   ”   said as acknowledgement, & then he lowers his voice just a bit.   “   get it where it’s not gonna be found, & then i recommend you get all that blood off a’ you. don’t want anyone askin’ too many questions, of course.   ”

The very last thing Drew intended to do was offend the older male. But his inner Bob the Builder just wouldn’t let him shut up. “It’s uh, heh. Kinda wish I was lying… but yeah, see the main problem’s right here,” Climbing up onto one of the desks, he removed one of the ceiling panels, holding it out for Cyrus to view. “See this just looks like ordinary mold at first but, my d-… I’ve uh, seen this kind before. I’m like, ninety-nine percent sure it’s black mold, ‘cause I’ve noticed a lotta water damage when I looked through some of the other classroom ceilings, too. Just like, three but, this stuff can spread,”

cyrus pays great attention to the other’s words, eyes narrowed in focus.   “   black mold ? you’re kidding.   ”   he vaguely knew what black mold was, but never had to actually deal with it.   “   can we get rid of it ? we need anythin’ specific ?   ”

“pfft, why would i ever lie to you, cy? of course you look good in that jacket.” is it wise to call the leader of your group a nickname? probably not. or to kiss his ass? eh. is she doing it? you betcha. “but, im not just here to compliment you.  it’s hard to believe or whatever, but i was a drug dealer before all this.” she almost sounds like she’s lying now, and not just due to her small, dainty outer appearance. its her tone. “so, yeah, i got alcohol, cocaine, weed, pills. i just wanted to let you know, since you’re the boss. and i wouldn’t wanna be accused of withholding anything.” she pauses. “but do i have to share? or can i just… keep the stuff that wouldn’t necessarily be useful?” she touches his arm. flirtatiously.

“   here’s to hopin’, for your sake, that you never feel the need to lie to me.   ”   it could be taken as a subtle threat, if it wasn’t for his casual tone & wide grin. although that could always make it all the more cryptic.   “   a drug dealer ? you’ve gotta be shittin’ me.   ”   he’s chuckling, but he doesn’t not believe her. after all, he was involved in organized crime for how long ? met how many different kinds of people ? yeah, atty being a drug dealer wasn’t the most surprising thing he’s ever heard. eyes narrowing, he takes a step back to look her over.   “   i appreciate the honesty, atty. that’s good. i’m thinkin’ i’ll talk to some people, see what we might actually need. other shit is all yours, since you decided to be so honest. how’s that sound ?   ”

Goddamn if Cyrus didn’t remind him of a sassy football coach sometimes. “… Okay, maybe I lied a little. I just really wanted the last bag of Cheese-Its, alright?” 

“   ‘ alright ? ’ nah.   ”   he has to suppress a sigh.   “   y’know, i’ve got certain responsibilities. things i’ve gotta uphold. i don’t think you’re gonna want me makin’ an example outta you. am i correct ? so how about we leave it at, uh ... this won’t happen again. ‘cause if it does, i WILL find out. & there WILL be consequences. & you’d like to stay, right ? survive ?   ”   to some, the other’s actions might seem MINOR. but cyrus highly valued order in the midst of this chaos, & in order to obtain true order, letting people off the hook wasn’t always an option. especially in regards to leniency on food, lately.

“And if your not too careful, i’ll be hurting more then just your feelings.” Jack said in a warning tone, he never was one for trusting people he did not know.

“   oh-ho-ho ... well, LUCKY ME, then. ‘cause i like to think i’m a very, VERY careful man.   ”   that toothy, shark-like grin never falters as he takes a half a step closer to the other.   “   i can’t say the same for you, since you appear to be threatening me right now. & don’t you think it might just be a little fuckin’ RECKLESS to go & threaten strangers like that ?   ”

“   you’re all BLOODY. what happened ?   ”   now, distinguishing your own blood from someone or something else’s was difficult. although cyrus couldn’t see any visible injuries on the other as he looked him over, the blood had to belong to someone. or multiple things.

“   complain all ya like, just do it while we drag the fuckin’ body.   ”   this was what, the third time the body’s head was dropped ? & honestly, cyrus wasn’t that impatient. he could tolerate a lot, but it was getting dark & the smell of blood might attract something unwanted. getting back to camp with the corpse as fast as possible would be IDEAL.   “   could’ve been worse, could be carryin’ your rotting carcass back to camp right now. let’s go.   ”

“Oh, I would not dare to do so. The pain you must feel when a groupmember would dare to lie, when you give them shelter and protection” she replied, her voice laced with a hint of drama before her face got serious again. “But believe me when I say there was no intruder stealing our stuff last night. If there had been, he would be laying somewhere with his head blown to bits. I don’t care if you trust me, but you better trust my gun. It never misses”

it is frustrating, sure, so she’s not entirely wrong. but cyrus has more important things to get to than relentless banter.   “   that doesn’t explain the missing items then, does it ?   ”   a rare occasion where his expression & tone appears much more SERIOUS.   “   shit, you make it sound like your gun is the one doin’ all the work. you catch any intruders in the future, though, don’t kill ‘em. i’d rather have a chat with ‘em & handle it myself.   ”

       “Lying to you? Now why would I do that??” Ethan questioned the other man with a mischievous look in his eyes. “You’re going to have to trust me on this, ‘cause if you don’t trust me then you’ll be the one hurting my feelings. And you don’t want to hurt my feelings, now do you?”

“   oh, boy, do i wish i could answer that.   ”   he exhales a soft chuckle, although it lacks in actual amusement.   “   if it could be avoided, ‘course not. don’t wanna hurt anyone’s feelings, do we ? so let’s just hope you’re tellin’ the truth, & hope i have a reason to trust ya. right ?   ”

finally makin an intro post / some facts abt cyrus for y’all

first of all, regarding him as a LEADER, POST-APOCALYPSE ;

his alignment is ‘lawful evil’. pre-apocalypse it was more neutral, and definitely not lawful. but since there are no longer established rules to follow NOW, but he still values a sense of order and DOES have convictions and values, he’s a stickler for his own rules. they don’t change. gotta have a sense of order when the world’s ending, right? ( there’s one quote i find relevant: “if god is evil he’s lawful evil” )

cyrus does actually care about his group. not as much for each individual person, since as a leader remaining objective is important, but he cares about the STRUCTURE of his group. the reason he’s more evil than neutral is because ‘doing what he needs to do’ doesn’t make him feel very guilty afterwards. in fact, it doesn’t bother him at all. he sleeps fine. power and order are more important than being a compassionate leader. but he’s not cruel to the point where it’s unnecessary and he obviously does care about the longevity and survival of his group. so, if he has to kill a random traveler or one member of his group causing problems, that keeps THE REST of the group from starving. to him? that’s a win-win. eradicating trouble/potential trouble and keeping everyone else alive as a result.

annnnnd a bit about HIS PAST ;

he mostly grew up with his uncle and his mother in el reno, oklahoma. his mother actually cheated on cyrus’ father with cyrus’ uncle. cyrus’ family was extremely unstable, though. his father was generally abusive, cyrus’ mother was a prostitute with a drug addiction, and cyrus’ uncle was the one with more money. ultimately, that’s why his mom wanted to be with him. turns out he was an asshole, too, though. cyrus doesn’t like talking about his family, we’ll put it that way.

he went to college for the first year, then dropped out. he’d always hung around “the wrong crowd” and it’s how he got into gunrunning. his uncle was the one who taught him how to use a gun originally.

eventually, cyrus ended up moving around, becoming rather notorious as an arms trafficker. he was involved in general organized crime, and was definitely one of the higher-ups when it came to guns. he was the provider, but eventually stopped doing the dirty work himself and became more of an overseer of it. being involved in organized crime definitely changed him a lot as a person, it’s where he first killed another human being and realized how much he liked the thrill of having power and being the “opposing authority”. 

a list of all the places he’s lived in case anyone’s curious: el reno, oklahoma. various places in texas. acapulco, mexico. cork, ireland. chicago, illinois. new york city, new york. sacramento, california. los angeles, california. denver, colorado. munich, germany. saint petersburg, russia. phoenix, arizona. and, of course, scottsdale.

other than english, he's fluent in spanish. he knows enough russian to understand/comprehend it, but he only speaks broken/some russian.

on the side, he owned his company for money-laundering purposes. however, it wasn’t a very legit company, and was ( at first, when he was still in the small arms trade ) just a front for the gunrunning. it became more legitimate once he moved on from the small arms trade, but was mostly run by a close friend of his. it was a small, local bar at first, but ended up becoming an extremely popular and exclusive nightclub. it was based in los angeles.

EYES narrowed at the click and her chin jerked up defiantly, “aside from the simple fact that it’s none of your business- no, i’m not lying to you.” head tilting, she arched a brow slightly, “we certainly wouldn’t want that, would we?”

at first, he’s only silently regarding her. eyes narrowed in focus, but features otherwise relaxed.   “   ... WELL, i guess i’ll just have to take your word for it then.   ”   he offers a tight-lipped smile,   “   nah, we sure wouldn’t.   ”   &   just for the sake of conversation ...   “   this might not be my business either, but what is it you’re doin’ around here, exactly ?   ”
