#jekyll asks!!

[She quickly runs over, dropping to her knees to carefully secure Spade's head on her lap— doing her best to check for any visible damage. Her thumb grazed soothingly over her skin, brushing Spade's hair away from their face.]

{The DeckBoxes condition looked no better up close, rips and cresses covered her skin alongside a nasty looking burn on her right shoulder reaching down to her elbow. The fact she was able to fight in this condition seemed like a miracle in and of itself. Spade also seemed to flitch when your hand brushed her face before she visibly relaxed ever so slightly.}

{It doesn’t look like she’ll wake up quickly in her current condition. Her cards don’t look any better, the DeckBox having been dropped when Spade fell left them scattered about but the damage to at least a quarter of the deck was obvious. Seems Spade will be needing some replacements ASAP}

Jekyll yelps when Bumble runs past him to get to Spade. He follows suit and crouches right behind the human. A low whine escapes him, much to his dismay, at seeing Spade so fucked up. A pout forms on his face along with his tail tucking between his tail.

[Bumble scrambled to her feet, racing over to the deck's side.]

[Jekyll and his part is from @duct-bugs ]

Jekyll's head shoots up at the sound of Bumble's voice. As soon as he sees her come closer he jumps off of the lighter's tail and runs over to the human. Then, with a surprising amount of ease, picks Bumble up and bolts out of the attic with her.

"N-nope... Too dan-dangerous," he states while carefully placing her back down on the floor right outside the bedroom. He points at Bumble with a worried glint in his eye, "you st-stay here, safe."

Without saying a word he gets onto the couch with the two and snuggles against Spade's side. His head finds the card deck's chest, and once he's comfy he lets out a yawn before closing his eyes. His tail is wagging against his legs as he lays there, not seeming to care if he's ruining the moment between the two girls.

“WHA- JEKYLL!”

{Spade, though rather annoyed by the intrusion simply huffs carefully readjusting herself so both Jekyll and Bumble are able to remain comfortable.}

“Some warning would be nice in the future alright?”

"Ohoho, would you look at that! Now, it's been a while, hmm Cards? Not used to seeing you down here, but I'm not going to say it bothers me—quite the opposite, actually."

"I've been wondering.. do tell what all that commotion was a couple of days ago... don't go keeping little ol' me in the dark! Besides, I.. was worried. It's not often that the human looks that.. well, distraught.. I'm not all that surprised she is all tuckered out on top of you, Cards. "

[They kneel, gently scratching Jekyll's ear before tuning their attention back to Spade.]

“Lighter tried to kill me.”

{The CardDecks voice is. . .forward void of any emotion, whatever expression she had held a moment ago long gone as soon as question was asked. Though, just as quick as it left the DeckBox was back to normal a smirk on her face just like always. She chuckled was it to clear the tension in the air or is it to ease any fellow object arounds worry was hard to tell. . .either way the previous question was answered later in the DeckBoxes usual sassy tone.}

Jekyll huffs quietly and looks around the rest of the attic. As soon as he sees the cards scattered everywhere he starts picking them all up as fast as he can, putting them all back into the box. Once he's done he scampers over to his corner of the attic and searches through a few of the boxes over there. Plastic spider rings... Old books... His ears perk up when he finds what he was looking for, a fresh pack of cards... Well, the box is yellowing slightly from age, but other than that it's new. He cracks it open and replaces any of the damaged cards in Spade's box with new, blue ones.

Once he's done he walks back over to the two on the floor, fiddling with the box in his hands. His eye glances between Bumble and Spade. He's keeping a close eye on both of them now considering what just happened.

{Whilst the DeckBox visibly relaxes once the cards are replaced, the damage isn’t magically healed. Is it looking better than before? Yes 100% but some nasty scabbing has been left behind and the burn will definitely need to be treated fairly regularly, perhaps some sort of painting sealant would work like medication for the object? It was hard to know for sure. . .

Though, when you wiped away the stray tears that had landed on Spades face you accidentally reveal something once hidden by makeup.

[Jekyll belongs to @duct-bugs ]

Jekyll flinches at the touch... Oh God, not tears. He whines and looks back over at the attic. He can hear everything happening through the door and knows this is a bad idea... But, when he looks back at Bumble, at those tears on her face.

The coyote sighs before leaning his head into her hands. "Fine... But, you st-stay with me," *he mumbles before taking the human's hand and hesitantly leading her back over to the attic. The whole time he makes sure to stay in front of her if anything happens. Then, as soon as he sees the lighter walk out of the attic he immediately moves himself and Bumble out of the way of the lighter.

*Lighter grabs his arm as he puts her box back down that he had in his pocket. He glares at her before walking off.. he was mumbling to himself as he walked past Bumble and Jekyll. After he leaves, Spade and the other two hear a clap coming from the corner where Sophia normally is. He had a soft smile and literally looked like they won't hurt a fly.. Jekyll notices how this creature looks like the one him and Dusty encountered the other night.*

{Spade grabbed her DeckBox as soon as she could adrenaline being the only thing keeping her up as she stared the Lighter down as he left. As soon as he was out of sight though. . .}

Thump

[Bumble could hear the fight from the attic, and each second that passed made her feel like she was going to vomit. She needed to help! Who even was she if she couldn't be of use?]

[Jekyll belongs to @duct-bugs ]

Jekyll whines at seeing how distressed Bumble is, but when he looks back at the attic he knows that it's not a good idea to go back. His ears are still flat against his head as he looks back at Bumble with a pout.*

"Too da-dangerous... Stay here, please," he whines with his hands clasped in front of his chest, "don't want y-you hurt..." He presses his forehead against the human's and whimpers. He's slightly trembling and his tail is tucked between his legs.

He doesn't notice the other.* -🔥

{Spade bite her cheek as she felt the burning sensation in her leg, quickly getting back on her feet, another figure makes a move before she even had a chance to.}

[Jekyll has been awake as soon as he heard the commotion. Quickly he tosses his cape off and jumps over the boxes around his corner to dash over to the two currently fighting. Then, with no sense of self preservation, he immediately jumps onto the lighter's tail and keeps it pinned to the ground like a bug on a board. He looks back at the man before opening his mouth and biting the appendage below him. He didn't have to, but he felt like being an ass.]
