[ monster in the woods ]
@mpxyoongi & @mpxzeus ft. @mpxdove
osiris casually tugs the strap of his backpack a little better over his shoulder as he walks closer up to the edge of the forest. on his left, yoongi is walking quite confidently, even though the demigod’s face clearly expresses how much he likes the idea of the god on his right also joining their hunt for the monster that is hidden deep in the forest. now, monsters in the forest aren’t exactly strange, but this one has apparently been eating a lot of island inhabitants, and they can’t have that. so there’s an official excursion into the woods to find and kill the creature, and osiris as chief of police is, of course, a part of that.
almost like by design, his phone buzzes in his pocket the moment he’s about to set foot into the forest, and he pulls it out with furrowed eyebrows. “hold on i need to take this,” he tells his companions, pausing in his steps to pick up the call so that his forensic consultant can tell him what’s up. she’s relaying some basic information to him, but he has absolutely no issue humming and frowning like he’s being given some very questionable news. “oh no, that sounds dangerous,” he says, to the confusion of dove, who had been talking about paperwork, no doubt. “i better not let you handle that alone. hold on a minute.”
he takes the phone from his ear and looks over at zeus. “so sorry, but you got this, right?” he asks, to which the greek god shrugs and nods. then he turns his gaze to yoongi. “i gotta head back to the precinct, but i’m sure you two will be fine,” he says to his friend as well, nodding and motioning him off into the forest before bringing the phone back to his ear. “i’m headed back there right now, keep talking,” he tells dove - who probably has entirely no idea anymore what he’s on about, but does that really matter? he’ll make it up to her with a yummy lunch later. just before he turns away to leave, he gives yoongi a thumbs up and mouths good luck with your grandfather-in-law! then he’s out of there.
(he waits just long enough to be entirely out of earshot of the other two before starting to grin and stating into the telephone: “hey sorry about that, i had to get out of a pinch. you got time for lunch? my treat.”)
