ＡＵＴＯＰＬＡＹ♩ ♫ ♬

The smell that hit her nose when they walked in was unfamiliar. Or rather - it wasn’t something she smelled enough to recognize. There was a sense in the back of her mind that she did know though, and the little sense was twisting her stomach even harder. She had a looming sense of dread with it.

What was more unsettling was the way she could feel Pitch’s demeanor shift beside her. It was an instinctual urge to step away from him. She did her very best not to though and the only sign that he’d see - hopefully - was the flinch of her shoulders at his words. She had nothing to add to this though so she stayed quiet, trying to appear as small as possible. Though she didn’t think he’d turn on her for this…

This traitor situation was one of them. Mentally cursing, Pitch turned back to the soldier, expression cold, and threatening. “Clean this mess up, or so help me ––” he cut himself off, sure enough that those in the general area had a bright thought of what would come if they crossed his wires the wrong way. 

Placing a hand behind Crystalline’s back, just between her shoulder blades, he gently added pressure, wanting to guide her away so that they both might retire and settle into their arrangement. And the pace he set was quick, Pitch was rather hungry himself, and food plus his new prized company sounded like the best way to end a long day.

It wasn’t until he led her to their destination,and closed the door behind them that he let out a long sigh, revealing just how done he was with his day. It was just the two of them now, so there was no sense in putting up any fronts. “Alright ––” facing her, he reached his hand around, and untied the blindfold. Removing it, he wrapped it up, and walked around his desk to place it in a drawer. Motioning with his hand, he offered her a seat. “Is that better?” 

Pitch took a seat himself, settling into his chair comfortably, and reached his hand into his pocket for his cigarette and lighter. Lighting one up, he took a puff, relaxing under his exhale, and feeling the stress gently lift from his shoulders. Gold oculars had turned, and were now completely focused on Crystalline.
