how do you wanna face it? when the end is so close you can taste it
Oh he’s so fuckin’ clever, ain’t he?
Only the flash of fangs and some deep seated memory that Ascended don’t need to breathe - and therefore can’t drown - set my hackles back to normal. Huh. Where’s the Raz that would have said fuck it, let ‘im drown? I miss that version’a me. She was far less jumpy and stressed.
“Aight,” I say and put my hands up, given’ in to what he says. Won’t worry about you at all, the snarky side’a me says. An’ I turn the other way too, tryin’ to figure where I left off with the fish, when he offers a favor. So I turn back with a thoughtful expression an’ look at the horn in my hand. “You know how to fight well?” I ask, gaze flitting back up to the stranger. “Got a new toy here, but I ain’t exactly experienced.” To say the least.
Everyone’s always done the big, bad fightin’ for me. It’s time I had my own serious weapons.
