She shrugged her slender shoulders; it was heavy and hard to process. It hurt so much when he left with the other group, but at least she knew he was safe. At least he knew he had family here when he was ready to come back.

"...It's a lot."

[ 🏹 ]

He smiled lightly at the nudge. Eli would admit that he really needed this, especially after everything that's happened. The return of their lost son was just shocking, and learning about what that woman did to him? It pissed him off. He also felt guilt as he should've known what was going on. He couldn't protect his youngest boy.

"Yeah... How are you holding up?"

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖

"Yeah, me too."

She smiled, even if it was to hide the fact she also felt nervous. What if he expected her to still be the girl she was when she went missing? She'd been through too much, seen too much and done too much to ever go back to being that kid again. She didn't want to break her uncles heart like that again.

"So tell me about your kid?"

[🎙]

Aaron truly hoped that Emma would accept that offer. He just wanted his niece to be happy, and if he could somehow help, he would. Even if it was just venting and crying. Aaron will do anything for Emma.

"Thank you," He paused for a moment. "I'm so ecstatic that you're home."

"He hasn't yet, but thanks for letting me know."

Emma felt weird about going over for supper at Dunwall Tower with everyone else. Felt like she didn't really belong. Of course, Deion did; he deserved the chance to get to know his father and half-sister. But she wasn't sure if Corvo had really wanted her there.

"How is it getting to know your sister?"

[ ⸎ ]

"We have, actually. Kat and I were invited for dinner some night. Has Corvo talked to you? Because you're invited too."

As Deion informed her of the invite, he had a weird feeling if he should call Corvo dad, or just use his name? What do people do in these situations? The young miner wasn't even sure if Corvo wanted Deion to call him dad or not.

"Positive. You aren't even the first person I've met with it. I know it doesn't feel like it now, it's confusing, and maybe even scary. But it doesn't have to be." She kept her tone gentle and calm. Since he didn't seem to recognize the term lycan, she decided she better take the risk of sounding crazy and explain it out. "How about I tell you about it and then I can explain how it might look going forward?"

[ 🌕 ]

After she was done talking, he blinked a couple of times in response at first. He's never heard of lycanthropy, what is that exactly. Is it like rabies? It sounded like rabies he thought.

"Really? Are you sure?"

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖

"Yeah- that you planned a whole great and wonderful date and forgot to tell me about it?"

She smiled as she leaned over his shoulder to press a little kiss along his jaw then another kiss lightly graced his neck. Her hand gently brushed against his arm.

"But of course I do. How could I ever forget any moment I've spent with you?"

[ ♪ ]

Before her arms left him, he took her right hand and placed a gentle kiss. After doing that he put the two done pancakes on a plate. Sky then poured some more batter. As he was checking the eggs he felt the swat. He looked over and chuckled.

"Yep," He chuckled some more. "Do you remember the time when I finally asked you out?"

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖

"No problem."

With the confirmation, she plucked out the respective boxes and then set aside each one as she collected them all. She really hoped this didn't go sour- she'd worked so hard to get to this point in her life. But she wasn't afraid of doing what she had to keep it that way.

With the ammo he requested, she came back and set the boxes down, between them and told him the price.

[ ⓦ ]

Caleb watched her as she was going through the drawers. Thinking about her info on Colm. He had no idea how he was going to get that man alone. The outlaw had a big gang so it'd be hard to fight them all off just to get to the boss. But maybe he could stake the place out. Nab him when he leaves.

"Yes, thank you."

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖

“Hey, man, we’re good. I totally get it. Like uh, back then I had to take Julian home…if we’d all stayed together…we would’ve stuck out. Got caught quicker.”

  Anytime anyone escaped or got away, there was no hard feelings from her. She was just glad he’d done okay…that they hadn’t gotten him. Especially when she heard many of the others had died.

“And if you ever need a place to crash…I’ll give you our address. You can stay with us.”

[ ⟐ ]

Michael nodded in agreement. He was just swinging by this town, but now he was delighted that he did. He got to see Emma again. With her being here, he didn't want to leave.

"Of course. I've missed you too," He smiled lightly. "But there hasn't been a day that I regretted not taking you with me. For that I'm sorry."

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖

"Aren't you sweet to say that."

The name was the exact confirmation she needed that this was in FACT the “bounty hunter” she’d heard about. As he leaned close, she faked a shy little smile; yeah she had him hook, line and sinker. Emma was curious about how far she could take this before he caught on.

  “A pleasure to meet you, Al.” She extended her hand much more daintily than she normally would. “Veda Abberton."

[ ⌖ ]

"Cute and kind. That's a deadly match for me, ma'am."

Al smiled once more as he removed his hat and put it on the cocktail table. When she asked for his name, he tried to decide if he should just tell her. Embarrassing as it was, he leaned in close to her just only she could hear him.

"I'm Aleena Wilson," He leaned back. "But people tend to call me Al. And what about ya?"

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖ "Okay." Emma reached out her nimble fingers, and the moment her hands graced his shoulder, the two vanished from the spot into the cell and suddenly were in an old empty house she'd set up.

She moved her hand away, then motioned to the couch as she went to go get something.

"You might want to sit down. Take a moment and get your head straight."

[📣]

Negan stood up when she did, and he took a couple steps toward his cell's door. He had that shit-eating grin as she unlocked it. He stepped out. Finally, he was free and he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly answered.

"More Jedi powers? Oh, I gotta see this, let's do the fucking latter."

[emmaxmeyer]

{ooc}

heyo- know I haven't been crazy active on here but mostly been trying to deal with some things and my mental health. <3

Emma sighed, it was sort of a funny story- in a sad kinda way now that she thought about it. Considering the reason they met...Jackie was gone now.

"Botched blind date. A friend of mine...wanted to introduce V to his girlfriend and didn't want V to be the third wheel. But V had to bail because of work. So...we were just friends for a long time. Life kinda got too crazy for a while to pursue anything."

[ ☠ ]

That didn't surprise Logan at all. From the few mercs they've dealt with, all had been stuck up. Hopefully this Emma and V aren't. To Logan, that didn't seem to be the case. Well, for her anyway. They have yet to meet V.

"That's good to know. So how'd you guys meet?"

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖

"I have no doubt about that."

Her time back out in the wilds- both back in the early days and when the fireflies left her for dead, she recalled just eating anything she could get her hands on. So she knew where he was coming from. Anyone who'd spent time outside a QZ did.

"Could always be worse though...could be fungus."

[ ⁂ ]

"Yeah."

He flashed her a small smile as he followed her. Rio was glad that the small family had found each other and were part of a thriving community. Not many people had that sort of luck.

"Right? I've seen enough chef boyardee that'll last a lifetime."

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖

"Alright."

Emma pushed herself up from her spot on the ground, and waited for him to follow suit. For the moment she rested her hands on the door of the cell, luckily it was night; there would be less folks out and about Alexandria.

"Okay, your choice- we walking out the front door, or vanishing into the ether?"

[📣]

Deciding that he would bring her the head, he nodded in response. If the roles were reversed he'd like to see the evidence. It'll be messy but he will do it. Negan just wanted to show his loyalty to her and this new community and bringing in an enemy's head is what he thought would work.

"Nope, I think I'm good." Let's get this party started."

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖

"Then they don't deserve your gift. It's as simple as that, Henry. You set the conditions on which you create the art. Not them. Don't let them push you around."

She knew it was easier said then done; especially when Henry didn't really care for conflict. But she knew the huge impact his art will have, even if he didn't know yet.

"It's your role to show them."

[ ✎ ]

"Yeah, I've told them that, but they don't seem to understand. It's not at all."

Henry wished that this client would understand his values. He had a way of doing things and one of them was not to ever rush any form of art piece. It's not worth it because it will most likely be noticeable that it was rushed.

"Mortals just don't seem to understand what art is."

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖ Well, here goes nothing, she thought. "I have. Lots of times, and I was able to help everyone else who's come to me. So uh, River, the wolf that attacked you, had a condition known as lycanthropy. Which is highly contagious...and your symptoms are clear signs that the attack had passed it onto you."

[ 🌕 ]

Finally, he was going to get his answer! That thought alone was so relieving. Honestly, he had no idea what was happening to him. None of it made sense, felt like he was going crazy.

"I honestly haven't a clue. Never heard of anything with these symptoms."

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖ Emma took his hand, and gave it a soft squeeze as she got out of the car. He was so sweet, and she appreciated how attentive he was.

"Thank you, and don't worry, I will, Ri." With the door shut, Emma started to walk with him to the diner, her stomach started to rumble.

"Uh I could eat a horse."

[ ✚ ]

Riley smiled at the kiss before he got out of the car. After shutting the door, he walked over and offered his hand to her. He wasn't sure if she needed the help or not but nonetheless, he still offered.

"Let me know if I can help you."

[emmaxmeyer]

⦕☥⦖ "It's okay, you aren't missing much. Most of the ones I've met don't exactly have winning personalities."

Sure, they weren't all bad, but she'd known enough mercs in her time that she would be fine with never speaking to them again.

"Myself included. V is probably only one of a small handful that are an exception to the rule."

[ ☠ ]

"True."

They chuckled in response. Logan felt a little silly now for saying that. They're not really good at making friends, they just always say the wrong thing without meaning to.

"That's awesome. I don't know a lot of mercs."
