*There's a small glow of bright coming from the edge of the forest. Little Fella might notice the glow moving around.*
-@runningonadrenaline
[[Little Fella paused, looking over into the forest.]]
[[It seemed… beckoning. And he was always a bit too curious for his own good.]]
[[He made sure Mary was distracted before slowly headed towards the glow.]]
*Zee's fur puffs with being grabbed. His eyes shift blue as his hand twitches and summons what is basically Mary's sword but shorter. He swings it at the arm that grabbed his face!*
Fine.
*Ma'am this thing can eat gods! I don't know if it's certain you can come back from it draining your life force.*
[[Wood splinters chipped off her arm. She grit her teeth, trying to ignore the flood of pain.]]
F-fuck-
[[Her other hand only clenched tighter around his skull, weakly trying to push him away.]]
*Quiet cracking sounds come from his skull as Mary's grip tightens. Zee wacks and hits Mary's other arm, he will not let it be damaged. Each hit he steals a bit of magic from her, all til her arm felt numb and unmoving.*
*fuck it's probably too late- but maybe I can send you a weapon that Zee can break??*
[[Marys other arm fell limp, resin chips and wood splinters mixed around them.]]
h-hah- you idiot-
[[She closed her eyes.]]
if you- if you continue to fuck with this family, let me tell you-
[[She looked at Zee weakly, a smug smile on her face.]]
you’ve got a whole hurricane coming- if- if I alone was able to crack your skull- you have no idea what’s going to happen to you, do you.
*Zee doesn't really react to Mary's words. He does hate his skull was damaged, but it's not like it hurts when it breaks. And... he can't really think of anything worse than what he had usually gone through. Being hunted down, his flesh being torn, ripped, and burned off, the immeasurable pain he persists through, and just trying to piece back the parts of himself he lost. All cause a God fears him, all cause- "he's a horrible monster!"*
What happens happens.
*This fight had barely hurt anyways. If that tells him anything, he'd rather do this than go after that horrid Cat first. Perhaps this would be an easier way to stop his constant agony get his revenge.*
*He backs up from Mary, pointing her own sword at her.*
Stay.
Like hell i will. I’ll tell them- I’ll tell them you’re coming, and they’ll kill you the moment you get there-
[[She tried to move.]]
*Zee lets out an annoyed huff. He walks back towards Mary, putting pressure on her chest with the tip of the sword.*
[[She froze, then spat at him.]]
!!!
*Zee overreacts, unsummoning the sword and tries to wipe the spit off his hand feathers. He mutters and chitters what sounds like some weird curses in an annoyed manner.*
[[Mary chuckled, a smile in her eyes.]]
hah- scaredy cat.
*Zee stops confused by that phrase. It had never heard that phrase before, probably because it's non-existent in his world and is the equivalent of calling god a fucking wuss. It takes him a moment to actually realize what she meant, Zee looks at Mary annoyed.*
No, am not.
*he resummons the sword and points again at Mary.*
Don't spit venom at me again, it has no affect.
‘s not venom, it’s just spit. and you are a scaredy cat- scaaaredy cat. you won’t even properly fight me, you just- just do whatever the hell you’ve done and then walk away.
Then why do that if not to hurt???
Not scaredy!!! I defeated you!
*he bonks her with the flat side of the sword!*
i just want to annoy you at this poi- gh-
[[She has been bonked.]]
you didn’t fight me- you were too scared to really do any damage.
... Shut up!
*He hits Mary again before bounding up to the gazebo to investigate it. 'Him too scared to cause damage? That's ridiculous, he ruins people's lives all the time, why would he be scared to cause harm?'*
you can’t get it to worrrkkk~
[[She taunts, a smug smile in her eyes again.]]
*Zee ignores her. He walks around in the Gazebo, checking around for any magical properties or something else that stands out.*
[[Nothing stands out at first, but the flowers and vines around the wooden support beams seem to reach out for him.]]
*He tries to avoid any of the vines from touching him, batting away any that gets too close. His tail flicks, trying to find a trace on how Abbey left. 'Was it through a portal? Light that'd make it impossible to track.' He huffs.*
you won’t find anything!-
[[Mary called from the ground. There didn’t seem to be anything of importance around. The flowers continue to reach for him.]]
*he huffs, slapping away the flowers. After a hesitant moment, he walk out of the gazebo... And sits right down by it god dammit.*
[[Mary laughed, shaking her head slightly and struggling to flip Zee off.]]
told you so.
*Zee completely ignores Mary. He stays sitting where he is.*
[[Mary let out a long breath, staring at the sky.]]
…can you give me mobility back, or are you gonna be a little ass?
*He looks at Mary, thinking about it for a moment.*
....No.
no to which part?
Mobility.
*he looks away, preening some blue feathers.*
…asshole.
[[She attempts to spit at him again.]]
*He overreacts again! Flinching hard and accidentally plucking a feather. He lets out an annoyed and slightly pained chitter. The feather fades away like vapor, not appearing back where it was plucked.*
*They keep angrily chittering as he scooches further from Mary. If only he would just leave it would be absolutely great, he already caused enough damage. But no, he's not going to.*
[[Mary scoffed and closed her eyes, a smug smile basically radiating from her very being.]]
chicken.
*He turns his head towards her to say something, but then decides not to, turning back repositioning how he sits.*
.....bird...
*why are you having fun agitating it???? That thing wants the gods dead and you're teasing him!*
[[Do you have any better ideas on how to pass the time, she wants to snap, because i would frankly love some input. All i can do is hope that Abbey doesn’t come back and if anything does happen, that blue bastard can snap out of their own problems for once to help me.]]
*I- hhhhhhhhhhh... mmrrrr.... welp- it's not it's actually gonna commit to killing you so do fuck all I guess!*
*Zee sits in silence for some moment, occasionally glancing back at the gazebo. After more moments he speaks up.*
When will Abbey come back for you?
*He says this as he pulls out some papers from his eye socket.*
….
[[She paused, faltering, then, with confidence-]]
She won’t.
*He seems to get upset that! But weirdly, it shifts to a pitying sadness, then anger. Not anger at Mary though.*
Does she not care for you? Does your family not care for you!?
*...There was a tinge of hurt in his voice.*
and why do you care? aren’t you trying to kill her?
[[She prayed to whatever gods that were listening that Abbey wouldn’t be back any time soon.]]
I don't?! I-
*he tries to figure out his words.*
Why leave you with something like me!?! Do families just- abandon people!?!
*For someone to claim not to care, his puffed fur and tone says otherwise.*
*Hell, maybe I can rid of Zee by.... what!?! The fuck you mean I can't ju- what's so important about this you won't let me!?!?......*
…at least you tried,
[[She muttered, just to Riku. Then,]]
because i can handle myself, idiot. shows how big of a threat i should be, yeah?
*His fur settles, he lets out a huff.*
Should be.
*He repeats her words like a parrot.*
-but nearly dead.
*Zee looks around at Mary with an unreadable expression. Pleeease I think he's actually considering leaving.*
[[Mary sighed.]]
“but nearly-“
[[She fell silent as flowers and vibes around the gazebo shifted, and then-]]
Mary? Oh gods, what-
“shit shit shiiitt i TOLD YOU NOT TO COME BACK! i HAVE THIS UNDER CONTROL!”
Did you really think I would just leave you? Seriously, Mary, why would you ever possibly think I would-
“BECAUSE I SAID NOT TO!”
*Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Fuck! Zee jumps in place, he stares with terrified eyes at Abbey, body shifted like he's gonna run away. Every part of him screams to run, to hide. But He is not going to.*
*His body shakes while frozen. With much hesitation it breaks out of its stillness and charges at Abbey!*
[[Marys eyes snapped to Zee, and the moment he started moving she willed every splinter in her body to reach out and attempt to trip him.]]
[[Abbey took a step back, her sword appearing in her hands.]]
