“Tsk, you know this flagrant use of attitude is going to confuse people, what gives?” Jalen inquired peeved. “You think the girls can handle everything and ANYTHING in this world messed up Disney of a world? Our combined efforts only bested a lone fat ogre; can your imagination not stretch beyond that? We’re all in over our head, THERE, I admitted it!” Jalen panted the last words out, catching his breath in frustration.
“This is such a bother…” Jalen laid out. “…talking about caring, when really there is no feeling at all…” He sighed, calmly collecting himself. “I don’t like you Klaus. I don’t like this ragtag group of survivors. If killing you meant another confrontation with the witch behind this, I definitely might consider it. But I’m not about to put any stock in a crazed hags word. I’m guessing I’m not the only one she’s requested this off… So if you have any invested interest in saving those two… any promises… dates or likewise… you might consider moving toward them, is all I’m saying.”
Klaus didn't bother to say anything as Jalen finally cracked. But there was one thing that caught his mind. Jalen mentioned a Witch. Could he meant the one that wanted Klaus, was she even considered a witch? Anyone could splash water and runoff. That doesn't make them a witch. Something deep inside Klaus felt off about Jalen, he was hiding something, even though Klaus is too, it's not so deep as Jalen's secret. It reeks of darkness. And it seems that's the one thing he can feel here in this wacked up world.
"If they need us, I am sure they will call us. What would be the point in running in there and then everything being alright? A scream is nothing to panic over, they been screaming the whole time we been here. If you're so worried, then be their guest and help them." Klaus waved his hand in the direction of the cave boredly. "And but of course we are in over our heads, it;s the ladies who don't seem to understand this, wanting to do everything on their own, like splitting us up for an example, only a stupid person after an Ogre attack would do that and wonder off in this 'Disney world'."
Running his hand through his hair, he looked down at the ground, mumbling to himself something under his breath. Saving people wasn't his thing. he never did like risking his own life for others, specially ungrateful people. Most of the time if he did risk his life, there was a debt to be payed or a deal that was yet complete or about to be made. Which reminded him...
Irritation was written on his eyebrows as he started to march over to the cave. "She is in debt to me, the only one who is going to kill her before that debt is paid, would be myself..... Bastards." He marched into that cave as if he was kicking down a door that had his ex on the other side of doing another man type of way.
"You know! This is starting to get really annoying having to come and save everyone all the time. I should be getting paid for this, speaking of which! You think I am going to let you die when you are in debt to me. Sorry, love, but it ain't going to happen, you will do your debt in full!" He yelled as he headed a bit deeper inside the cave.
He tsked under his breath when he saw a snake, kicking his to the side like it was some kind of rag doll. "Disgusting things." There was alot more snakes beyond that and the girls right after that. He couldn't see what was beyond them, it was too dark the rest of the way. But it seemed like it could be a person, maybe.
"Should I come save you guys or do you have everything all handled? But then, that depends on you." His eye color changed completely as he spoke. Soaked in a bright gold that glowed in the night of the cave, like an animal's eyes. It was now almost part of this world, an incompletely piece that was about to fit in it's rightful spot.
He felt bold, daring, like nothing could hurt him, it was like he had been keeping his own self locked away for all these years. It didn't make sense to him as to why this was happening, but why not endure it for now and see where it takes him. Wasn't like he had anything to lose, he had nothing to begin with.
"So apart from the annoying hissing sounds, I take it that, it's not coming from either of you. So what is that thing? And could I turn it into a stew?" Yeah he was hungry and the sight of the snaked made him think of stew. Sure it wasn't beef or pork, but who knows ,it might not be so bad to eat.
