Luca could hear the chitterling of the weasel creature. It only added to his amusement of their discomfort around him. Humans have always seen themselves as top of the food chain, more civil and untouchable. If Luca and many fey got their way, it would be the other way around. After all, all fey had a greater power about them then any human. When Hazel stilled the creature’s attempt to warn him, that any wrong move and it would be over for the knight was laughable. However, to laugh out right at them, would make him seem more snobbish then he was already portraying himself as. So he simply started this discussion about the night before and the fall of a faerie, Seelie or not, it was an important matter.
When Hazel started to go over the term of her job Luca couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Oh my dear. Perhaps in the past, when the guardians before you were here was that your job. But now, unless you want humans to start disappear you’ll need to get a better handle on this Hale character you speak of. After all if we take a hunter into our court, they will not reappear.” He said his voice become dark and chilling towards the end as he smirked darkly, his eyes portraying the same darkness that lingered in his soul. That flicker of darkness quickly disappear before he smiled at the human. He unclasped his hands and reached out to touch a lock of her curly golden hair. It was smoother then he would have thought it would have been, and he leaned forward to kiss it, before turning his head just slightly to glance at her. Their faces still close. “If you must take a bullet to stop us from harming your kind in the most unthinkable ways to save our own, then that is what you shall do. If you live, I’m sure the human who shot you will clearly give you aid, if your left for dead then, we shall be along shortly to aid you.” He said before finally letting her hair slip from his fingertips.
He straighten up before smiling at her and moving on to the next topic at hand. The capture of an Unseelie fey to redeem her guardianship. The Queen herself knew that this task was not going to be easy on the human. She had morals and did not discriminate between the two races nor the courts. In this way, the task was nearly impossible for her to achieve. This could finally end the contract between the guardians and the fey. Just as the Queen desired.
Hazel’s discomfort rose again, pleasing Luca. It had been just what he was looking for, the reactions he loved getting from her. He had not dealt with their kind before, but the rumors say they were easy to toy with. He did not frown, but his smile became a natural hold of the lips. He raised an eyebrow at her, “And this solution would be?” he inquired, before she smiled at him sweetly, a distaste for him in her eyes. He smiled at her, with an amusement. He brought up his hand again letting it trail on the underside of her chin before making her glance up at him. “That would be lovely, but perhaps another time, for you have yet another unwelcome visitor.” He said before letting his eyes slowly glance up to the man who just came through the treelines. He was tall, with shaggy brown hair, a tanned skin tone. “I do hope that isn’t this Hale you speak of.” He said just as the man glanced up to see the two.
“Hale are you stupid! You need to go say sorry to her, and now!” Ash yelled at Hale from across the desk in the back room of their mechanic shop.
“Not a chance. She’ll get over it.”
“Oh I highly doubt that.” Ash hissed.
“Then you go say sorry.”
“It’s not the same coming from me. This is why we hunt together!”
“You wanted the night off, I got bored. These shit heads don’t take a night off you know.”
Ash took in a deep breath through his nose, his hand coming up to run through his shaggy brown hair. “You know what? Fine. Be that way.” He said before grabbing his coast and leaving the back room the door slamming behind him. Hale said nothing as Ash left the shop. Pulling his keys from his jean pocket he pushed his index finger into the ring hole as he rolled the keys around for his car key. Once found he pushed it in the lock and unlocked his car, slipping in and starting it. He took off at a normal speed unlike how Hale would have ripped from the driveway. They had two cars to fix right now, but clearly that was something Hale could handle on his own. After all Ash only know so much about cars from watching and learning from Hale. This was more of Hale’s kinda thing.
It wasn’t long until he was parked at the bar across from the woods. He locked the doors and looked around. This always made him feel uneasy. He pushed his arm along his jacket to feel the gun he had hidden in there for an emergency. He’d only use it if someone else attacked him, or well something. Running his finger through his hair again, he started off the parking lot and down the road. He cut into the woods to get to Hazel’s faster and before long he pushed through the treeline to her little home on the outside of town. When he glanced up his eyes narrowed a little.
It wasn’t human, he could see the tension in her body. He watched the man drop his hand from holding her chin up. Ash started to walk towards the house. “Everything alright Hazel?” He called out ready to pull out his gun if he needed too.
