Vine looks you up and down, his eyes slowly gazing at your shimmering wings. In the rush of fear and endorphins you had forgotten to hide them after the stranger showed himself. You gasp for breath, feeling your heart begin to beat ever so gently in your chest, your shaking hands now ceasing their trembling. 

" Those are some interesting wings you have there. No wonder you are the town's renowned toymaker "  You smile gently, grabbing your wings in your hands and pulling them with all your might. You could feel the skin around the wings rip, the blood pouring down your back in waves but you keep your smile as strong as ever. Jason had been very clear about revealing your identity to others and you didn't want to disappoint him. The pain was unbearable, the nerves under your skin pulsating from the sudden strain on your body and the sudden sensitiveness of your muscles making even your heart hurt a pain deeper then a pool filled with the blood of Jason's victims. You persist in smiling, laying your now detached wings on the table. Jason would fix you up, that much you knew, so for now the only thing to do was to bare with it until the toymaker and yourself had a spare moment. 

" Actually, I'm not the one who makes them " Vine cocks his head to one side, the pink hue under his long black hair shining slightly brighter for a mere second before dimming. 

" The one who makes them is..." You are stopped in your tracks, hearing a door close in the back followed by the gentle tapping of boots on the wood floor. The toymaker exits into the room, seeing you and Vine conversing, your wings laid out on the table and slightly bloodstained. He scowls slightly, knowing that he had more work to do once the day was over. You had seen that look only once before and it was back when you and Jason first met and you refused to stay in the workshop with him. You didn't want a repeat of that time, flashing the toymaker the cutest and somewhat innocent like smile that you could. His expression softens under your gaze before quickly turning to a possessive manner, grabbing you in his embrace and turning to Vine with a look of displeasure. 

" This is Vine. He left a few things here Jason "  The toymaker narrows his eyes, trying his best to keep his human guise in check. This wasn't easy for him though, noting that his fingertips were slowly turning to the inky black of his monstrous form. His white nails dig deeply into your side from the impatience he felt and his distaste for Vine, scratching at the muscle in your side. You wince gently, moving closer to the toymaker so that Vine did not see what your beloved was doing to you. 

" Vine you say? Well Vine , my dear boy. We have a business to run so if you have what you need..." You could see the hatred in those golden pools of Jason's but the look on Vine's face was quite the opposite. A look of fear, much like the sight you had seen on all of Jason's victims right before the wax melded with their skin. Grabbing the tools he needed from the store, the stranger leaves though the back door but leaning backward into the room only a touch. 

" Feel free to come visit my puppet store whenever you want "
