"Boys, I have no idea who she is, but it's best we stand back and get the fire extinguisher ready; just in case."
"Whatever she is, nobodys water should boil that fast."
"Look.
*Shllreaaaauuuuoooooookkkkkkkkk*
Ha. She's repairing it.
She's…."
"Throw me those seeds off the shelf, will you?"
"These ones?"
"Wait, you can't just...…..You didn't even pay for them."
"Thanks.
Better I didn't than you."
*Phoooooooooaccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk*
"Girl?
.....Can you hear me? Are you all right?"
"These boys should never be breaking in ever again.
A piece of glass shatters; it will wake Piranha up and they will never see the light ever again."
"We just wanted to send them to the police, not kill them."
"Oh, they won't be dead. They'll just wish that they were.
And ... .people say test it on yourself first, but unless you never want to see the Living again; you should just trust me."
"What about when the actual repair men come in here to replace our windows; if and when?"
"As long as they're adults, then they'll be fine.
Piranha may be bigger than Lily, but he certainly can't tack on full grown. He'll try…... .but more just knip at their heels like a dog; not letting go until you get there."
"How can we ever thank you?"
"Normally I don't take rewards for helping people, but..."
"Here you go. As promised."
"Thanks, boys."
"You sure you can't stay and hang out?"
"....I'm sure.
…Take care, and be safe."
"Ruby, come on. You said you were just going to get some clothes and would be back soon, but where are....."
"I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.
….How is she?"
"What's the Wagon, the backpack and others for?"
"Why didn't you take her Suit off yet? That's the reason she passed."
"I'm sorry, but…."
"Courtesy over anything.
Elwin would be so proud of you.
Help me get all the snacks in the packs, and the drinks as well. Then we'll 'carefully' redress Elwin and put her in the Wagon."
"That?
The wheels look a little…"
"You have a better idea?"
"Nope."
"You love her, don't you?"
"Nope."
"What?"
"Aaaah…..I panicked. I throught you were going to give me another no question."
"So you don't love her?"
"I do. I do. It's just..."
"Moving in is hard.
Kain, I meant what I said when I first saw. You are going to have to make a choice. Serve your Father, or serve your love. You can't have both."
"But what if I want both?"
"I can't help you then."
"Candy and drinks cleared. Do you want me to look away or….."
"Flip her on her side. Let's make this quick."
".........One, two, three..."
"Lay down…slowly. And….
*Thud…*
I said slowly.
There.
Kain, even when asleep, your body still feels."
"Sorry.
We trade shifts pulling? You first?"
"No, I'm your scout. You'd be lost without me."
"Fine. Give me the handle.
....So, was it difficult?"
"For what?"
"How did you get all of that stuff, when you just wanted to go in for clothes?"
"Funny how that works. You always walk in with a list; leave with a boat."
"You didn't perhaps…."
"Oh, now you care about me, don't you? You should be focused on Elwin."
"I care about all of you. Not equally, but I still care."
"And I thank you for it. Next stop isn't for a while, so drink up."
"Amazed you came full circle?"
"You're not far behind."
