Marcus tensed as Blazil stepped closer to him. To be honest, he was surprised. She had been so wary of him, and now here she was with this adorable look on her face approaching him and asking for help. What sort of monster would he be to say no, at that point? “I can take you to him. It won’t be easy. We can rest here for the night and pack up what we need and then I will take you to him.”<br/><br/>“I’ll go with you!” TamLin replied, her voice cheerful.<br/><br/>“You need to stay here and take care of the children with John. They need someone to watch after them and hunt out a living,” Marcus replied.<br/><br/>“Not if we run one more, big heist.” TamLin countered. “One more big catch and they would be set while we went on the journey. We could try tonight and tomorrow and if it happens I can go with you. If it doesn’t, I will stay.” Marcus ran and hand through his hair with a sigh, but nodded his agreement. The whole time he wondered how, exactly, he got himself in these sorts of messes. Most of them, he admitted, involved his sister. Blazil was a new addition.<br/><br/>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~<br/><br/>Aria grinned at Pheonix’s wink, but sobered after he told her that staying put Scholar in danger. It made sense. Pheonix admitted he was a hunted man, and hunted men put those they relied on in dangerous situations purely be being associated with them. “Leaving tomorrow does sound like a good plan. I would hate to endanger Scholar in any way. Especially after all of his help.” If she was honest with herself, bed sounded like a good plan as well. “To bed it is, then.” She added, and took Pheonix’s hand before heading that way. She was mildly proud of herself. She was heading the correct direction and beginning to understand the setup of the tree-home slightly.<br/><br/><br/>((Yay hunters! Would you like me to add a hunter as well? I don’t know a whole lot about them. Or perhaps the hunters could be teamed up with/in a race for time with one of the Courts? I don’t even know)))<br/><br/>{Also, I’m on break now. So hopefully my replies will get much more timely. I’m sorry about all of the delays and non-replies here lately.}
