“You insult me thinking of me as a savior. I have come here in search of someone of power and strength! One who snivel upon the ground where God preaches is useless ‘less they work for him!” 

There is a wicked, vile laugh that follows after their words - Knowing and taunting gaze narrowed on her as she remains awestruck by their very presence. Silence does nothing when prayers and loyalty is what fed a deity. [ Where is the red wine, where is the need to die for them - ? Where is the martyr in her? They can force it out. ] The parasite that they had used to control all and many could easily slid beneath her skin and tear apart her ground. She would become the prey the spider would eat with joy and satisfaction.

❝ So, you’re the new hire. ❞ Jinx finds herself peering over at the woman, a blue gaze roving over her in thought. ❝ There’s a new shipment of Shimmer coming in and I’ve been instructed to show you the ropes. ❞ Of course Silco has faith in her. Why wouldn’t he? It isn’t like she’s the best of the best, but she still does her job. Why, then, does Jinx feel so off?

     nightmares plague seiji. he dreams of a world of darkness, where he can only hear muffled screams of strangers in the walls; where they beg and plead in a language that he does not know. he dreams of being shackled, awaiting his turn to be sawed in half, staring into the cold, dead eyes of masked tormentors. and when he awakens, somewhere along the lines, a very small part of him knows that the place in his dreams is where he was supposed to be all along.  not here, in the shadow of his unknown past. not here, basking in her moonlight. 

     his eyes flicker open, and for the first time in hours, he sees a ceiling that brings him heart. he could not bear to leave it plain, and hung various plants and large-print photographs to hide the large, empty white. he turns, straightening out the comforter, looking for selene. it’s hard to miss her strikingly white complexion against the dark blue bedsheets -- she practically glows. he takes a moment to stare; partly in adoration, partly in wonder. she is so at peace. why can’t he be as well?

     he gently weaves his fingers with hers, knowing that she is awake, and musters a smile.

❝ I already know how blades work. ❞ Jinx scoffed as she waved a hand in the air. It was easy! All you did was slice and dice and all the other things knives tended to do. ❝ I've even used one! ❞

 @thebaptized​ asked: Just grabs his face with both hands and places a small kiss on his lips before whispering 'beautiful'

A  seconds  blink  of  surprise  and  he  feels  the  soft  touch  of  lips  bracing  his.  Ah. What  a    way  to  greet  someone. Color  him  impressed. Sadly  like  any  greeting  the  kiss  only  lasts  a  moment  too  soon. The  other  was  no  doubt  close  enough  to  see  the  flush  coloring  his  face.
