With the old man gone…” “What did you think was going to happen?” He asked idly, “that she would wake up and not start looking for ways to claw out her own little kingdom?” Which she probably would have done anyway, he reasoned. Sarah, or Bronte, he guessed, just planned to profit off it. The woman slumped back into her seat, “now my bitch of a sister’s back, and we’re diving right back in.”Įrich turned back toward the harness in front of him and resisted the urge to point out that he was the one to get them into this mess. Gravity’s eyes narrowed at him as her hands slowly lost their glow, “you know exactly what I mean. The woman stood up, hands glowing the faintest hint of green, “sure, it wasn’t ideal, but we didn’t have to be criminals! We could have just… sold stuff.”Įrich resisted the urge to scoff, “you do realize where we are right? Criminal isn’t a word that exists in this place’s dictionary.” “This whole thing!?” The woman spat, “this was our chance to get out of all this crap.” Still, he was smart enough to recognize that he needed her. He wasn’t enamoured with the idea of being back under the volatile woman’s thumb. Sarah pretty much taking over? He wondered. “Does what bother me?” He asked, genuinely confused. He was on the verge of standing up to go… anywhere else, when Gravity finally spoke.

The silence continued on, and he resigned himself to the painfully heavy atmosphere once more. “Brooding? Angsting?” Erich suggested, “whatever it is, it’s getting distracting.” Unfortunately, Gravity had not, and the heavy silence was beginning to get to him. ![]() “You can stop sulking.” Erich muttered as soon as Sarah was out of earshot.Īfter a few more minutes of painfully stilted conversation, the scarred woman had retreated once more to her room.
