@inrigor asked: " if i tell you to leave me behind, would you listen? "
" IF I TELL YOU to stop asking those types of questions, would you listen? " for all the bite, jesper's shaking — visibly, palpably, all the way down to his fingertips. he'd shoved his hands against the top of morrigan's leg, and his palms are wet and red with blood. jesper's seen plenty of fights, and he's plenty fine with those fights being bloody, all adrenaline and heat, but this is different. this is morrigan and jesper pinned, monsters on either side of them. jesper's down to four bullets, and both of their ears are ringing, their heartbeat as loud as an echo.
somewhere far off, he can hear someone call out. jesper hasn't read up on enough of his mythos, he's realizing. antaeus should ring a bell, but it's not. honestly, the image of his wounds leaking dirt was confusing enough. jesper isn't sure if that's apart of his legend or not, but they have questions.
he can hear him talking, far off, taunting, daring. jesper shakes his head like trying to dislodge a fly, trying to understand. it's all nonsense noise. jesper turns back to morrigan, her expression pinched.
" i still owe you for getting me out of that casino. what type of person would i be to avoid paying you back? " the earth trembles, faintly, underneath them. jesper's feet dig further into the dirt. " and he called you kronos' right hand. we're gonna get out of this, you and i, and then we're gonna have a talk, yeah? " / meme.
