“I’m rather partial to a knife, you see, I enjoy cutting people. Especially those that get on my nerves.” 

“  come  on.  ”      the  small  town,  rustic  in  it’s  nature,   is  picked  apart,   the  desert  stretching  out  beyond  it,   but  there’s  always  something.    always.     there’s  a  radio  on  her  hip  that  vibrates,   carlos  asking  what  the  shot  was.     she  picks  up  the  radio  to  answer  that  it  was  nothing.     claire  simply  turns,  stuffing  her  gun  in  it’s  holster  before  picking  up  the  slightly  molded,  cardboard  box  with  food  in  it.    

“  there’s  another  one  right  around  the  corner,   grab  it  and  follow  me.  ”       now,   there’s  really  no  reason  to  trust  her --    or  even  to  trust  that  he  won’t  run  off  with  it,   but  she  doesn’t  have  an  off  feeling  with  this  one.     guess  there’s  only  one  way  to  find  out:     THE  HARD  WAY.

...well that all sounded better in her head. it’s been weeks since she’s seen a city and dragging her cart along ( by now filled with trinkets ) became quite the hardship. she pulls the cart up a hill, her face clearly showing her annoyance. it’s when she sees a silhouette that just for a moment, she hesitates, hands raising t shield her eyes from the sun... that her cart decides to roll down the hill she had just climbed. 

ah well. at this point she does not care anymore. with a huff the girl falls onto some near grass, her limbs sprawled out she only raises a hand when she senses that someone else has arrived “greetings - if you are a nice wanderer, then do not mind me. and if you are a thief... I think my valuables are in that cart so I’d run after that. just don’t rob me in person, for one I am quite broke and for seconds, I do know how to wield a weapon, it would not be fun for any of us.”

‘  LET’S  GET  BACK  to  the  rest  of  the  cougars,  or  we’re  going  to  be  wolf  meat.  ’     after  all,  she  and  faith  are  suddenly  the  cult’s  most  wanted.    and  they’d  do  anything  FOR  THE  BLESSING  OF  THE  FATHER.    it’s  better  that  anyone  that  isn’t  currently  with  the  cult  doesn’t  meet  even  the  chosen.

AS  NASTY  AS  THEY  ARE,  the  cult  always  has  persuasive  methods  to  get  nonbelievers  to  become  believers.     even  without  faith.

It was some meme I got no idea. || Accepting. || @halfbladed

He had been smacked, punched, shot at, and stabbed with harpoons and knives in his lifetime, but never had Bruce ever been yelled at by a human. The gentler request dared not soften the blow of the prior order and everything gathered in the creature’s self-respect and dignity screamed at Bruce to tell the stranger to go sod off. 

But no, he was no violent, screaming human. 

He would be polite in response.
