Spiders's in the woods, walking around. She sees someone in a cloak step out in view, "Why hellooo, deary~"

Spider stops, taking a deep breath, "I see you got yourself a new cloak"

"Found it at a Halloween sale. Very cozy for cold weather." Sparrow smiles.

"Just fully embracing the witch aesthetic now aren't you?" She chuckles lightly as she leans against a tree, her ears then flatten as she looks at Sparrow. "So you here to attack me or what?"

"Maybe maybe not, who knows," Sparrow puts her hands in hidden pockets.

Spider raises an eyebrow at Sparrow, "Yeah cause that's reassuring, what do you want then?"

"Just payback, that's all"

Spider sighs, "Payback? Is that really how you wanna play this?"

"Yeah and there's no way you or any of the other Risen are talking me out of it."

"Really? You're prepared to ruin everything good in your life over things that happened months and a year ago? Things that you had clearly gotten over, otherwise we wouldn't of been dating"

"We're still dating so I dont see why you brought that up. Besides youre just trying talk it out again like you all always do"

"You could've fooled me," Spider mutters, "And what do you want me to do instead? Shoot you? Send a head case to stab you on your birthday?"

"Just suffer through it like you have your whole life."

"Christ" Spider sighs "So descent into madness aside, how have you been?"

"Oh I see? Topic change as soon as you feel anything hm?"

"I'm changing the topic because trying to talk to you about this is like talking to bloody brick wall"

"Doesn't feel good does it?" Sparrow snickers

"Fine you wanna talk about it? You wanna talk about how you've ruined everything? I mean, where do you see this going, eh?" Spider snaps before taking a deep breath.

"Ruined everything? Everything was rotten from the start. You all were just far up your own asses to see it."

"Oh yeah? And is that including us? Cause when I say that you've ruined things I'm talking about your relationship with the group...and me."

"I know very well what youre talking about"

"Well nice to know I mean something to you then," Spider growls lightly

"I would say you mean more to me than ever before"

"And how'd you figure that?

"You really need me to explain everything?"

"Yeah cause to be frank none of this is making sense to me"

Sparrow rolls her eyes, "I don't get what's so hard to understand"

"Maybe the part where you decided to turn your back on us and get revenge for shit that happened months ago, but sure, I don't wanna argue with you anymore"

"Fucking finally," Sparrow grumbles

"Yeah, so again what do you want? Cause you showed up here for a reason," Spider moves her hands into her pockets.

"Wanted to say hi to my girlfriend!"

"So we're going back to normal for a bit then?" Spider shrugs and takes a step towards Sparrow.

"Well what you call normal I suppose," Sparrow holds out a hand.

"Well what would you call it?" Spider takes it.

"Doesn't matter," Sparrow smiles.

"I disagree but sure," Spider shrugs and rests her head on Sparrow's shoulder, and Sparrow rests her head on Spider's.

"And how is the weather treating you dear? I'm sure the cold is rough for you."

"I can handle it for a bit, and it's better than being inside right now"

"What's wrong with a house over your head?"

"You mean a roof?"

"Roof, house, you know what I mean. Too used to living in a basement."

"Fair, to answer your question, you know what last night was?"

"Uhhhhhh no"

"Full moon, so still a bit...yeah. Not to mention everything else," Spider sighs, "Speaking of houses, where have you been staying?"

"Nowhere really, I just drop when I'm tired"

"I can see why you need that cloak now," Spider chuckles, "Though seriously? Most of the damn city's abandoned why don't you take one of those houses?" She sighs, her grip tightening slightly.

"I like the openness of the woods. Never really had that"

"Yeah I bet you've never had frostbite either"

"Frost what?"

"It's where things like your fingers toes and other extremities freeze"

"Oh yeah Ive done that"

Spider chuckles, "Of course you have. So dare I ask what you've been up to?"

"Planning, schemeing, collecting, all sorts of fun stuff"

"Collecting?"

"Divulgars"

"God how many Slingers do you need?"

"All"

"Christ, any others?"

"Yeah, all of em"

"Do I look like I know all the kinds off by heart?" Spider chuckles lightly .

"I don't know their names"

"Right, and I suppose Nyx is part of your collection?" Spider sighs.

"She is now"

"Yeah I'm aware, I got your 'gift' by the way," Spider grumbles rubbing her shoulder

"Did you like it?"

"What do you think?"

"You loved it"

"Yeah cause I'm really into getting stabbed" Spider snarks, "And here I thought you were supposed to care about my wellbeing"

"Yeah well, I thought the same but ya know," Sparrow makes the motion of her own throat being cut as she makes a sound.

"And I thought you were over that, not to mention that was an accident, it's not like I walked up to you with complete knowledge of who you were and just decided yeah this'll be a laugh"

"Ok literally everything you just said is wrong"

"Then please fucking explain" Spider sounds annoyed.

"Ive already explained how im not over it countless times but that doesnt get through your thick ass skull. And you have the morals of an abosolute psychopath"

"And you don't? But fine you're not over it and I fucked up, what are we doing here then?"

"Cuz Im not over it."

"So you keep saying"

"We're going to be here all night."

"And as fun as that would be I've got shit to do" Spider has a sarcastic tone

"Im sure ya do"

Spider rolls her eyes, pulling away, "So I guess I'll see you the next time you feel like fucking things up."
