[opheliac]

Nnnnghhh, that sounds like heaven right now. — Hey. Pick me up and carry me to bed.

(what an audacity request. but if one thinks about it, it might be the only way to get things moving? who knows except she will continue to be dead weight on the forest dirt.)

[survivalthroughhate]

[Maul thinks about that request for a moment. He rarely carries anyone except for maybe Usagi mainly because it's kind of hard to continue to have a monstrous reputation when you carry someone, piggyback or bridal-style.]

You are lucky I have an actual level of fondness for you.

[Why? Mainly because Jinx kind of reminds Maul of himself, plus a few more wild feral gremlin tendencies. So he scoops her up into his arms.]

[opheliac]

Aww, how nice! I'm likin' you too, Horns. You're interesting.

(and to show that he is, she will at least make it easier on him to not be dead weight. jinx is a very tiny and light weight girl regardless but she will do her best to not be obnoxious about him doing this.

fiddling in her pocket very quickly, she pulls out the glowing object.)

I got this too, by the way. It's probably important.

[survivalthroughhate]

I have not found many dull moments with you around either.

[Jinx is a nut but in the best way possible. Fortunately for both of them, he still trains his fighting skills every day, so he's more than strong enough carry someone as tiny as Jinx for a period of time.

Then he uses the Force to pull out his own piece when he sees what Jinx has. It hovers there for a moment.]

It looks like they-- [And then the two pieces indeed snap together into one full compass.]

[opheliac]

Oh hey, you're a magic user. Neat!!

(not like she knows what "the Force" is so she'll just chalk it up as magicy powers. and as the two objects snap into whole, jinx inspects it further -- humming in her throat.)

... Good craftmanship. (she is muttering this more so to herself than him.) — Right, so! It's lookin' like it wants us to go thatta way!

[survivalthroughhate]

Not magic. The Force.

[Maul says patiently. He's not surprised, most people from other worlds don't know the difference between the two of them. But even in his own galaxy, use of magick and use of the Force were two very different methods of study.]

Hmmm, is it leading us to danger or to a way out of here?

[Maul wonders. Both are equally as likely with the way Trench works.]

[opheliac]

Only one way to find out. — Let's go, go, go!

(off to danger would be a lot more fun than simply exiting out of the woods. although, she truly wishes for sleep as well so maybe going back to her treehouse is more suitable (for now). the wrecking havoc and killing whatever can come on a later date.)

[survivalthroughhate]

Alright, alright.

[Maul goes in the direction that the light was pointing. It feels like it's the right thing to do, but just to see what would happen, he moves off and goes in a different direction. It isn't long before he has a creeping sensation that something is watching the two of them.]

Do you feel that?

[He asks Jinx.]

[opheliac]

That you did somethin' incredible stupid? Yeah.

(because that uncomfortable crawl slithering its way behind her neck is now making her more alert. and despite how exhausted she is, jinx tries her damnest to listen to her dead to see if they are picking up on something that she isn't. sadly, they are just as still as the trees. or... maybe not so much. it almost feels the trees themselves are moving around, too.)

... Let's just follow the light.

[survivalthroughhate]

[Maul agrees. Following the path where it's leading them seems better than setting off on their own. He doesn't get any strange sensation when they do what they are being shown to.]

Let us hope it is not leading us into disaster.

[He says uneasily as he begins to follow the light again. It would be just like Trench to take them into more danger under the pretext of leading them to safety. But as he continues on, the tree line begins to thin out a little and the woods close in less oppressively.]

It looks like we are almost there.

[opheliac]

Yeah 'cuz I don't have shit on me. And I can hold my own but I'm no Vi.

(she's good with a few punches, better when it comes to kicking. but her real strength is with her firearms. but her body seems to lose its tension as they make their way more out of the woods.

and since maul is their walker, jinx will take this time to glance down at the compass. she twists it very slightly to check more on its craftmanship.)

— So what was the point of this?

(this question is more to herself than him. they woke up in the woods, found a compass, and soon they'll be out. was there a reason? is it to just find the pieces for them to have?)

[survivalthroughhate]

Another opportunity to make us all work together here. Be thankful we didn't have to talk about our feelings in order to make it all work.

[Maul notices the bright light the compass has been using to guide them has gone out as soon as they leave the tree line and can see the city proper close by.]

It did take us where we needed to go. Now are you going to be able to get back home without falling asleep or do I have to carry you all the way?

[opheliac]

Well! — Since we're outta the woods, I could just sleep on a bench or on the streets. Just throw me down somewhere and I can do the rest.

(is she really considering to sleep in the streets? of course she is. if jinx could live the proper life of her dreams, it would be up in the rafters or just out in the open (like the hobo that she is).

in truth, it's the reason why she moved out of the rookery mansion and build her own home. the fancy get-up with everything unnecessarily massive was just not her style or thing. too much room and air for her mind to wander into areas they don't need to go.)

[survivalthroughhate]

You'll sleep so deeply if I set you down somewhere you won't even notice if a monster comes up and eats you.

[Maul says this in an almost cheerful tone given he's speaking with Jinx and he's gotten a measure of her personality by now. But he really wouldn't feel right about leaving her to her own devices when she's so sleepy right now.]

Do you have a home I can drop you off at?

[opheliac]

The Cellar Door is where I'm livin' at. There's a big mansion with a tree you can't really miss. And on top of that mansion is another house built with wood. That's me!

(because of course she would be the type of person who fancies more of a home that's rundown and possibly childish-looking than a home with solid structure and rich. jinx can't seem to understand how her sister is able to stand a house like that so big and elegant.

although... vi is practically a pilitie in the making. her older sister may protest over that but jinx can see that aura about her. a woman who is will fight for justice and not for criminal acts. who will believe stealing whether from the rich or poor is wrong all around no matter the reasoning. the one who will correct those who are incorrect even when they are the ones who are wrong.

a destiny that her little sister is seeing unfolding from afar. whether back in her realm or here in trench, there's no evading that calling.)

[survivalthroughhate]

We’re not far from a Lamp Location. We’ll get there in no time.

[Maul looks around for a moment to orient himself. He’s got a good sense of direction after being in the city for over a year, so he sets off with confident steps.]

Have you set down your Lamp Friend somewhere yet?

[Maul still hasn’t despite having the opportunity to do so since he came. He should really just make one at his home given how often he teaches people or invites them over to stay at his home for various reasons.]

[opheliac]

Nope! Kiiinda forget they existed. They should still be in my bag back home. I guess I oughta use 'em sometime.

( but where? who knows. there's still so much of trench she hadn't explored yet. but seeing they are all stuck here until who knows when, she'll have plenty of time for that.)

You got 'em set somewhere?

[survivalthroughhate]

Mine? No, not yet. I've been waiting for what I felt like was the right time.

[And Maul still hasn't felt in over two and a half years that it was the right time.]

Perhaps I should set it at my home. It's much safer than some other places in Trench when this place becomes as dangerous as it potentially can be.

[opheliac]

Doesn't that also open yourself up for enemies to come waltzin' in and trash your place?

( because anyone could use those little guys, right? or perhaps. if she were to be honest, she forgotten the explanation her sister gave her about the little things. the one thing she remembers, though, is they do enjoy clothing. and they enjoy to cling. )

'Cuz that's what I would do if I were anyone else. Swoop in like a crow, and peck, peck, peck!

[survivalthroughhate]

If an enemy manages to get past my guard pets and my brother both when they come to find me, then I deserve exactly what I have coming to me.

[Maul's a cocky bastard but his words aren't without some truth to them. He's made sure his home is one of the safest in Trench, having it guarded by deadly animals (that he lovingly spoils and cuddles with when they aren't on duty), his seven-foot-tall tank of a brother, and himself. That's a lot of firepower in one place.]
