HIS MOTHER. FUCK, WHY DID SHE HAVE TO MENTION HER? hearing that, lysander felt like he had suffered a WRACKSPURT attack. even more so as the guilt settled into his bones, fighting against the very urge that had BIRTHED that searing ache in his chest. he wondered if he would have told her, fern held so intently on peridot had they not been interrupted by the FALLING BODY before them, would he have confided in her what he had become? limbs move faster than he could control, as he lunged towards the SCREAM that sounded beside him; reflex demanded he protect her; someone WORTH protecting.
IN THE SPIRIT OF GOOD FUN AND GAMES, XANDER LAUGHED. he laughed harder than he could remember, a palm pressed to his stomach as he watched the flurry of PINECONES rain down on them. ‘ an ambush like this, i can only imagine LEONA'S in charge of it. ’ he almost WAVED into the bushes, until one lands against ivy’s forehead, and he watches as she STUMBLES onto the ground. ‘ -hold on! ’ he reaches towards her, arms tucking under her stomach as he HOISTS her up onto his shoulder. something beneath his skin BURNED against the friction of her shirt against his. fighting the hiss that slipped past his lips, xander RAN further into the woods.
WOULD HE HAVE SEEN THEM COMING IF HE’D BEEN SOBER? if he wasn’t too busy searching for the next opportunity to be alone, would he have been able to SENSE the ambush? xander attempted to distract himself with those thoughts as he delved deeper into the GREEN, only placing her down when the sounds of panicked screaming seemed far away in the distance. ‘ looks like it’s up to your winnie the pooh pajamas to save us after all. ’ had they even had any time to plan the position of their flag? he certainly hadn’t paid any attention. maybe once upon a time, lysander would have TRIED. ‘ so what’s the plan, CAPTAIN? ’ please say splitting up, say splitting up.
was that REALLY what he wanted? SHAME rang out. ' any chance you picked up a WAND on the way? ’
