[with the way the body's been mangled now, Hazel doesn't recognize it as the monster she ran into earlier that ripped her apart pretty well and not just because I haven't tagged that log yet
but she does know that severed head, and it's that recognition that prompts the long silence that stretches out rather than the brutality. whether she'd admit it or not, Hazel's grown accustomed to such things.]
What the hell does that have to do with you?
[her voice is even and tight again, although without a trace of that wobble. he better have a damn good explanation for this.]
The one who did that? The person covered in blood?
[ A pause. ]
They live with me.
[ A humorless laugh. ]
They follow me around, and bother me. I knew they were insane the first time we met... with the number of knives they keep, and the way they accused me of being some sort of monster just because I wouldn't give a blood sample.
[ A slow deep inhale. ]
I don't actually know if they'd kill me or not. I don't know if the police will find them and stop them tonight either...
[Why the hell would I want someone like that finding out where I live? she wants to snap, but that's the reason he decided such a boneheaded move was necessary. she wants to scream, because it's all so stupid and so fucking relateable.
the silence drags out even longer this time, finally broken by a deep sigh.]
[ She wouldn't. No one would. He doesn't think Suzuya will hunt him down though... probably. He's obsessed with Kangmo's hearing implant, but he doesn't seem all that concerned with Kangmo otherwise at least. Not that he's really even hinted that to Hazel. ]
You don't particular like me.
[ That's an assumption, but he feels pretty safe in saying that. ]
[ This conversation feels so casual considering how it started, high tension, unsteady emotions. Well, he's still pretty tensed up, but that's because he's still on the street not too many blocks from the house he shares with a murderer... ]
Heropa 11. The door's already open, so don't bother knocking.
[it's this casual because of Hazel's irrepressible compassion...and the fact she's already decided she's punching him in the fact the minute he steps through the door. it's amazing what the promise of violence does for chilling you out.]

[ Trailing off for a moment. ]
I don't want to stay here and find out though.

You could have just fucking asked.

Why would you agree to it if I just asked?

Not that far.
[ He was hoping for a little further, but it does mean he gets to get off the streets and hidden away faster at least. ]
I'll be there soon.
