Xylo chuckled, before bringing her close to him, trying to distract her from the responsibilities that consumed her. He looked down at her, before leaning in fro a soft kiss after whispering "Stop worrying for a second."
(That's cool. I didn't leave you many options, sorry.)
(lol no worries XD)
Horius cursed as he was blinded. He quickly turned invisible, spreading his wings and taking off when he could see again. As he rose high, he quickly spotted the boy, and followed him from above, with a bird's eye view. He dove downwards and hurled himself down on the boy, tackling him down on the floor before using his wings to life himself off. He pulled out his gun and shot the boy once in the leg to immobilize him, waiting for Stephen to follow
River nodded before their lips touched. "I will." She watched his face and brought her arms around him in an hug.
Xylo held her tightly, his hands moving to her sides as they held each other. Once again, all his worry faded, as if it were extinct. He knew it would return, but for now he wanted to lose himself in his love for River. River was all he had left, and he couldn't let her fade away from his life like Horius had.
Horius muttered solemnly, "I say we kill him. If we let him go he'll snitch on us, and we'll be hunted." That last part was solely for Stephen. Horius simply wanted to murder the man, and if he did snitch so be it. He'd murder the rest of the marauders as well, they deserved it anyway.
