( neither does eda. whatever is currently happening to hunter is nothing that she wants either. if she had any say in it, any ability to change things, she'd have made it stop as soon as she first saw it happen. it rips into her chest to see him like this, to see him go through this, and—
the more she thinks about it, the more she knows that "uncle" and the masked man are one in the same. it's only thing that's been plaguing him since yesterday, holding him in a vice grip. hunter sees him in the shadows, around the corners, and even in his own mind. it's got to be connected.
she had hoped, foolishly, that this was just a curse. neither of them had encountered anyone of note, but that hadn't meant a cursed object hadn't been slipped into one of their bags. it could have happened. it's no secret that eda used to do things like that herself.
however, the fact of the matter is that hunter is still plagued and they barely took anything with them. )
I know.
( she tells him, already reaching for him. she pulls him close to cradle him against one of her wings. )
I'm going to find a way to fix this. Whatever's happening. This can't be right.
( she presses a kiss against hunter's hair. )
Or I might be getting a murder charge.
( that's not a joke. although, can't you beat a murder charge if you try to help them after the fact?
they could also just move too. can't charge someone you can't find. )
