Goodbye and Good Riddance (Bailey/Open)

[Bailey Oleander]

"Would you join them?"

[Blake Oleander]

"A weapon can not fight the actions of those who wield it, it can only do as it was made to do."

[Bailey Oleander]

That did make her hesitate, but it frustrated her even more. He still called himself a weapon and nothing more, bu the was more. It also squarely put her on her own odds against whatever came at her. She would be alone if that happened.

But if something happened to Cabal and she stayed, there was every possibility she might die there, too. And there was an entire world where things were happening, no matter what she chose.

"Then I'll have to do my best to make sure they don't find out."

[Blake Oleander]

"As you wish."

With that, he'd begin the long walk home. She could come or go as she saw fit. She was an adult and he wasn't her babysitter.

[Bailey Oleander]

And with that, Bailey would follow Blake! She didn't ask for time to go back and grab clothes - she knew he'd be gone by then. He hadn't requested she come with and had no intention of waiting. She had what she needed, plus money and the new escrima sticks he'd given her. Her heart twisted a little not to be able to leave a note for someone, to tell them what happened and why she was going. To warn about the attack. But she couldn't wish forever.

So with her chin up, she'd follow after her partner into whatever would await them.

[Blake Oleander]

/end!
