    Wished they'd found her sooner, then. Before she got reduced to teeth in the woods. But wishing was for the future, and Anna or Sabine or whoeverthefuck no longer had any. Hoped when they burned his bones, if anyone bothered, they'd be burning a Trevor – not whatever else hid between his ears...

    It only caught up then. That the way he saw cannibals must've been the same way nonmeaters saw him. Looked to Laric who'd just freed the only bit of meat that wasn't human. Well, hopefully wasn't – he'd heard stories of witches and goatboys and such. Where a guy gets goated and ends up as...

    Bobbed and weaved with confidence of people who knew where they were going. But if one paid attention, they’d also notice, they weren’t exactly moving in a straight line. Because he never really knew – it just felt right. But these days – it’s hard to know what came from knowing, and what he...

    Fire, then. That was good. Sitha couldn't have 'em – they'd eaten enough in life. Served them right to fast in death. His eyes couldn't quite make out the NEEmaker sprawled on the floor. Stood up to see the drool had finally stopped, replaced by blood. Guess everyone had to leak something. Maybe...

    “I know where she is.” Which wasn’t true – but near enough. Looked to the drink like that might excuse him speaking further. He was finished alright. Onegulped the two mouthfuls and near coughed some of it back up. But it held, and so would he. Pressed thumbnail to top of his fingers –...

    His hand twitched to catch her head before it thudded on the plate. Stopped halfway. Too weak, too slow. And he hated the impulse. A NEEE sound underscored the moment. He couldn't bear it. Neither could the chair. Old wood remembered just how fat Ginny was. Just how long she'd been sitting...

    Some people just wanted to fight you. Nothing to be done about it. Trevor didn't really think Laric a cannibal – too fancy, too squeamish. But that darker part of him itched. People's insides rarely matched the packaging. And he'd known fancy men to do horrendous shit. But was it worth hurting...

    Dare pigs unslaughtered

    Whole lot of words for a man who didn't wanna drown without drowning the ball and chain too. At least the message for the fabricfucker wasn't an invitation to come die at Hestio. Maybe Dancer'd be smart enough to give it the finger come time, but Trevor doubted it. Man had many qualities –...

    She went to argue with herself in the kitchen. He could hear the rummaging and the onesided commotion. Normally, you'd not let a mark go to a room full of sharp things...but with Trevor, it didn't make much difference. Allsister could've come back with reinforcements, and it'd just change the...

    Blink. And another. This fucking guy. Grabbed his face with both hands, fingers massaging the corners. Dirt mixed with sweat and marked him in the warpaint of a potato warrior. „Hestio.“ Didn't laugh outright, but he should've. Never been a captive there, but he'd sent men there in the past...

    Dare pigs unslaughtered

    Oranges, huh? Sounded expensive. He'd just have to steal one on the way over and do his best not to eat it. The bird part was tougher to understand – he could tell boy from girl pigeons well enough back home. But then he'd seen the skyrats of Altalusia and he honestly couldn't tell. The ones by...

    Glad they’d gotten a few more moments without firetalk. Wasn’t sure silence was better – but at least the only thing roasted was the fucking chicken. That too had run its course. “Meredith…” Thought about how many times the guard’s head had been bashed. How he was still alive. “…I think she...

    Anna – who was Sabine, who was rabbit, who was raccoon – was clearly far gone. If there had ever been a sister, she'd long since fused into the creature before him. The Allsister didn't seem to understand how wrong all of this was. Made him feel bad for what had to be done. But sometimes broken...

    Almost cracked down the middle right then. „People...“ Lifted the thumb out his soup, thoughtless. Fingers burned, but he didn't let go. „They're eating...people.“ Voice barely carried. And that's when the question came: was there any point in letting the sisters live? Some monsters could be...

    Expected a slap or something. This was worse. Living without the fear of death. He didn’t believe it. Because he’d seen it – and it wasn’t a good thing. Fear stayed your hand. Sometimes, that mattered. Knowing when not to. What not to. “It’s not always about being brave.” Almost reached for...

    His gaze followed Laric's to the soup. That was... Was fucking Thumbelina feeding him people? Not screaming had been a feat of strength. Held it together just long enough to look back at Laric. Laric – who didn't eat meat...anymore. So Anna wasn't to be a harmless nut, after all. They weren't...

    Because I am. You do not butcher a family with a hook and paint the room in their blood. You don’t sit with your victims and ransack the place. Not unless you’re rabid. And rabid dogs, well… Sometimes they even asked for it. Some of them even thanked you. A fucking hook. They’d used blunt...

    „Don't worry Benny, if the goat gets mean, we'll eat it.“ Patted the animal and hoped he did the knot poorly enough to let her kick the goat if it got ideas. Followed Laric and...Anna into the house. Anna – of course it fucking was. Was starting to look like e real fun joke until they stepped...

    Trevor was already halfway to tie off his horse, careful to keep the mount between the goat and his legs. Didn't look like it could reach, but you never knew with hornfuckers. One moment was all nice and bleat, the next it was fighting rocks...and winning. If they wanted to think them...

    She talked…a lot. But he didn't interrupt. She'd earned that much, at least. And if he had to scratch at the rim and shift his weight from one cheek to another to stay quiet for all of it – so be it. Sure spoke like a knight. Find the killer. Ha! This only ended when the fucker couldn't hurt...
