IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER.
While this scene played out, while Arrow felt the numerous presences around her, her attention was forced away once it became far too much, too many voices at once to keep her grounded. A bird flew past, which she found much more interesting than this circle of conversation. It didn’t feel like it was going anywhere, really, and the longer it continued the longer she lost her focus. Which might have not been great, only encouraging it to keep itself up, but that bird was really interesting.
”Ughhhhh all y’all shut up for a second, hold on.” The Luminary groaned loudly, sticking her tongue out. Jesus Christ. ”I don’t like the Pitt. I hate em, actually. They did shit to me I physically never recovered from until death, and caused mayhem for years on end. I would watch them all burn alive and not so much as piss on the fire to put it out. But the idea of a guy crawling away from the desert into the swampland just as I dropped the declaration of war is real fuckin’ entertaining to me. And as I don’t like to be a selfish leader, how’s about this, Atty, since I respect my lady’s opinion as much as any of my fellow ride or dies, I let you in. You be a good boy, behave yourself, and we let your actions speak for themselves. If the rest of my Tanglewood brigade want to keep you around, you’ll be free to roam as you wish within our borders. If not, you best hope you have an escape plan on record.” A cheerful but subtly twitchy smile crossed her features. Man. ”Should I sense that you’re a two-faced snake, then the Pitt is the last thing you’ll need to worry about. But I’m sure you’re gonna be juuuuust fine, yeah? And uh, do mind your manners during your little chat with the mother of my children. Unlike myself, that’s a lady. Everyone disperse.”
With the usual mock-salute, and a sidelong gaze at the departing smoking feline, Arrow turned tail and lazily strolled to god knows where. Junkyard perhaps.
