Kipps eyebrows shot up in surprise. "An eight bedroom? Wow! That's crazy. It must be nice to not have your brothers in your space." He frowned picking his way around a thorny bush. "I don't actually know where Blacktown is. Is it nice there?" He asked trying to keep the conversation going.
Ashira knelt down in front of the crying faun. “It’s alright. I’ve been down this hill before. I won’t let you fall.”
"He's like a child." Blair muttered, focused on the path ahead and searching for scents. All she found, though, was the scents of earth and rain. "That's what he reminds me of. An overgrown child." Still no scent of Kipp or Emma, just nature. She looked over her shoulder, but not at Take, scanning the area. She scrambled for something to say to keep her attention off the fact that something could be stalking them. "How do you talk to him? The demon. Is he like a voice, or do you see him?"
“It’s okay. Mums pay is good that’s why we could afford the house” Fred explained
Take had opened his mouth up towards the sky, catching the little droplets of water on his tongue. He needed to rehydrate somehow. He put his hands behind his head as he walked along, laughing at her comments. “Yeah he’s definitely my demon.” Though the demon and him had totally different perspectives and goals, they had similar character traits. Take brought a hand to the side of his face, scratching the annoying stubble, “I see him. We can only communicate with each other when I’m asleep.. or unconscious.. whatever and he’s a really gross looking kid version of me. Like that Gollum thing from Lord of the Rings. I can’t hear his voice, but he’s still able to see everything like right now.” He returned his hand to where it was before and gazed at Blair, “What about you? The wolf thingy?”
Kipp tried to push back the thoughts of his own mom, struggling to find something else cheerful to say. "Have things gotten better now, uhm, with your family? You said before that they were picking on you a lot."
"Huh..like Gollum..." Blair mused softly, falling into step beside him inside of ahead, though she was still searching for scents. "She's just a voice. I've never seen her, but she definitely has an opinion about everything. Especially late at night." She frowned, shrugging. "That's why I zone out so much, because she's constantly nagging. She can see everything as far as I'm aware, there hasn't been a time where she didn't know something that happened. I've never really thought about what she looks like. I guess just a wolf, because, that's what she's supposed to be. But with higher intelligence, because she can speak."
“Makes sense... that’s why you don’t sleep a lot huh? And you usually end up texting me.” Take murmured, listening closely to her words. I would hate to have the demon constantly yelling and annoying the hell out of me.. he wouldn’t waste a single second. He decided to share what he thought of the wolf “I imagine her like your wolf form.. but completely black and her eyes are basically all that you’re able to see.” He kept himself and Blair near the treeline as they traveled the hills, remembering Ashiras words about Kipp and the others being on the edge of a forest and down a hill. They were probably long gone, but he hoped Blair could pick up something that wasn’t washed away.
Fred shrugged “if anything my brothers bully me more but now I don’t have to see them. I can lock myself in my room”
