She sat on a nearby roof letting the rain wash over her as she watched them put the noose around Mace’s neck. They got their reward when they turned him in. They let them know they had already hung Pain, and then Mace would be next to the gallows. She didn’t think she was gonna watch but here she was. Her face didn’t flinch from the neutral look it held as they pulled the lever and she heard his neck snap as he dropped. She watch his corpse sway, she felt peace. She felt someone place a coat over her shoulders. She looked up to see Love next to her.
“Let’s go home and dry you off before you get yourself sick my little Fox.” He smiled at her.
She returned his smile and nodded standing to follow him. He took her hand in his, interlocking there fingers as they walked.
“Good to be home Love,” she said as they walked through the front door of the tavern. They chose to buy Moonscale with their reward coin. This was safe for them and where they found peace. They bought the nearby woods for solitude, and a place for the 2 dire wolfs to run.
The barkeep greeted them with a smile and wave. “Morning boss!”
They called cheerfully. He put 2 beers on the counter as they sat down, Fox on the bar as usual. They picked up there beers and toasted.
“Good to be home!” They cheered in unison sharing a loving kiss.
