"Glad to hear it, the Cornish Fairings can't eat themselves after all," Bill said with a little smile.
"Thank you, Rook, I can always count on you," Leofric said, with a small nod. Even though his face remained the same, his eyes a deep appreciation for not just this event, but for all of the other times Rook had been there.
Bill did chuckle a little bit.
"Well, it's better than having soap in my mouth for saying something rude," Bill said, "Oh, is that why? I always thought she was just mostly screen free by choice. But I'm sure if she ever wanted to dip her toe into it more, Leofric could probably help with that."
"I suppose he would learn a lesson if certain parts really did fall off him for real," Travis said, "But that sounds fair enough, whoever he's stupid enough to go near first gets to have first dibs on what they do to him."
"We'll have to see who it could be," Antonio said. They had given Ratchet plenty of times to leave them be, and Antonio had a feeling that even after now, he wouldn't take this one.
"That's good," Simon said, "I had a feeling you might have a plan to get out of here like that, but you just never know for sure. Or at least I didn't."
Travis laughed again at that.
"Guy definitely skipped leg day," Travis said, "And the exfoliating and the sun to get stuff like that. He doesn't need to completely sit in a sun bed and become a lobster, but reading in the garden won't hurt for a healthy bit of vitamin D."
But then he nodded in approval at the sight of the cone.
"That'll definitely work, I'll hold him so you can get that on. It looks like Willow's almost done getting him all bundled up, so then we can set him up and be on our way," Travis added, "Ha! Let's see how he likes the feeling of possibly being violated the way he does on other people."
And they hadn't even done anything like that of the sort, attacks to the genitals and stealing Ratchet's trousers aside.
"It's all about worming your way into their heads," Antonio said, "Of course, when I'm on stage, it's a little bit different. I want that to be fun for everyone. But during a time like this, anything goes."
"I was starting to wonder if she had done that, before," Antonio then added, on Erica answering the question before he could think to ask, "I appreciate the information."
"Yeah, let's take the trash out," Travis then agreed.
Leofric briefly tilted his head at the way Lucien then spoke, wondering what was happening. He didn't sense any other supernatural presences at the moment, so it couldn't have been a spirit of any sorts. He then curiously looked over at Russell when he made a comment about 'she shouldn't be real'.
Despite finding it so hard to move, Russell had shrunk back a little bit as Cassandra berated him, afraid of what she might try to do now that he was awake again. Even though he kept telling himself she wasn't real, it certainly didn't stop the hallucination from feeling real. Despite that though, he was unable to stop himself from smiling warmly and a fondness bubble behind his ribs at the way Lucien spoke.
He couldn't find it in him to laugh when Lucien described her as a dead bitch though, despite Bill's smirk on hearing that. In fact, the ire that flickered in her blue eyes made him shrink back. His hand twitched with anticipation, to be ready to come up and protect his face.
"A, a new, a new... power?" Russell asked. He didn't have the ability to repeat the entire question, "Is, are, are you seeing into, into my, my head?"
That was what it sounded like.
"I'm, I'm sorry you're, you're seeing who, who, who I, who I am..." Russell then forced out. He felt he should at least apologise for that.
"You should be sorry for your very existence, you're a cancer on everyone around you," Cassandra sneered, before glaring at Lucien, "And I'll have you know I was a beauty queen before I ruined my body for those little shits people call me children."
"Wait, is that ma?" Travis said, "Is Russell seeing ma?! Hey, Ma! I sang Ding Dong The Witch is Dead when you died, you nasty old hag!"
"Ungrateful little shit," Cassandra growled, "I can't believe I wrecked my life and body for any of you, and none of you could have been a daughter."
At least Russell could take some comfort in that this really wasn't real after all. Cassandra couldn't hurt anyone else here.
"Th-thank you," Russell said, "I'm, I'm just sorry this, this happened, and, and that, that you, you had to end up in, in danger."
"As I said to Ratchet earlier, we willingly walked into what he called his trap, and we would do it again," Leofric said, as he then gently lowered himself so he could help Russell get off the ground, "Once they've got Ratchet set up, we can leave."
