@cultslamb asked: “ i thought i just saw you outside… but you're here? ”

he's toying with her. every now and then, he found amusement in humans — in the little jump in the rhythm of their heartbeats, the confusion and surprised etched into their brows. faith had his attention tonight, if only because she happened to notice him on the street outside.

then it became a game of stalking. will or won't she notice? intuition could save, but some chalked it up to their own paranoid thoughts. she's perceptive, he silently gives her credit for it, a coy smile touching the corners of his mouth.

❝ are you sure? you don't sound certain. ❞

❛ come on, love. surely you knew there would be some of us lurking around this damned world. ❜ yohan frowns. ❛ you'd think this was hell if you took a look at how things actually happen down there. ❜

"Oh boy did you break into the wrong house."

"Once, a long time ago. I was starting to falter. Really wondering what I was running for. Towards. A witch friend of mine gave me a coin of sorts and told me to make a wish, toss it into the river."

"A week later I was heading somewhere to stay for a while... and thats when I saw him for the first time. Something in me just fell into place. I no longer felt like all of it might of been for nothing. The first time I laid eyes on him I knew that he was going to have me in a way no one ever had or ever will again....."

"That was a very long time ago though.... and it turns out having more of me than anyone else comes with the flip side that he can hurt me worse than anyone else too. I made a wish to find what I had been searching for my whole life.... I guess I should have specified being able to keep it..."

hana pauses. her brows raise for a split second as she listens to them. someone so? she would have loved to know how that sentence would've wrapped up. ❛ ... you're such a smooth talker sometimes. stop that. ❜ hana offers a rather shy but genuine smile in return. ❛ i would hardly consider myself a blessing. ❜ her gaze finally diverts to faith. had they been watching her this entire time? faith wasn't even trying, but hana was absolutely taken by them — and those eyes. ❛ but you're definitely something. ❜

"afraid of you?" he repeats, an eyebrow quirked upwards as he looks at her, an aura of boredom radiating off of him. "honey, why would i be afraid of you?" she should be afraid of him, if they're talking fears here. no, he understands why she would say that; she's got blood on her hands and clothes, absolutely drenched in it, but she's talking to the wrong person. she stumbled across the wrong person as he folds his arms across his chest and huffs out a laugh. "you look like that girl from that one movie- what's it called ?? oh yeah- Carrie. you look like Carrie. did you escape prom, too?" he's making a joke of the entire thing, he knows that, but it's downright hilarious to him. afraid of her ?? please. Calcifer isn't afraid of anyone, least of all some girl who tells him not to be afraid. as if someone covered in blood is going to frighten him- maybe some innocent bystander would be freaked out, but this is Calcifer we're talking about.

after a moment, Calcifer takes off his jacket and drapes it over the girl's shoulders, rolling his eyes in earnest. "you've got to be cold. why don't we get you cleaned up and back home, hm ?? you can tell me all about your adventures and what someone like you is doing out here in the middle of the night on the way."
