Catty conversations

Roman pushed himself to a standing position and mumbled something about
'Gon talk to the others if ya dun mind'
Cardigan dad boi nodded, looking as if he heard him without truely listening.
Oh well.
He manovered his way out of the pew, nodded to the scary nerd, and went looking for the boy who manipulated shadows... and his heart aaaaaawwwwwwwwww.
It took him at least 15 minutes to find him.
In Romans defence:
1. It was a BIG church
2. He wasn't completely back to normal yet after the shock
3. WHAT WAS HE DOING ON AN ARCH? HOW? WAS HE PART MONKEY? WHAT? WHY?

Yeah.

He coughed a bit in an attempt to get his attention.

Virgil peered over the edge of the archway to see Roman below him
"With you in a second, hang on"
He willed the darkness around him and felt himself melt into the shadows, resurfaceing next to the red haired boy.
Roman let out a scream so loud and high pitched he could have portrayed the dumb blondeTM in a horror movie, or dean winchester around cats.

Roman regained his composure quickly and (perhaps in an attempt to regain his dignity) tried to say something
"What— what— what was that?"
Emo boy shrugged.
Roman felt incredibly annoyed by that.
He'd had a long, long, LONG day, and this boy wouldn't even give him an explanation to a simple question which he clearly knew the awnser to.
Roman decided then and their, he didn't like this guy.
Yeah, he had a nice face but he was also a little *CEnSOrd*.
Roman scoffed indignity and rolled his eyes
"All I wanted to do was thank you! What's your damage dude?"

Virgil was ready to slap a batch.
This guy, thinks he's above saying hello, so he choughs to get his attention, asks a personal question and when he declined from awnsering it, got all high and mighty.
Well that settles it: if roman didn't want to be nice, then Virgil wouldn't be nice either.
Why did all the cute guys have to be so infuriating?
Oh well, he's probably straight
Virgil thought trying to console himself and convince the voice in his head that was talking about how handsome Roman was to shut up.
"Oh forgive me your majesty, for not immediately liking you like your city full of loyal subjects"
He gave a mock bow and pushed past him, melting into the shadows.

Roman tried to pretend that didn't hurt.
He deserved the people's love right? He'd defended them against—
Against what?
Rebels?
But the rebel's were the good guys right?
He was a villain.

No.
He reminded himself forcefully, that he had in fact saved lives, and his intentions were good.
But this boy, well, maybe not all rebels were good.
He was manipulating him.

YES! That must be it.

He'd have to warn the others of jdligtfuls evil intentions.

It was a shame that the evil untold lurked behind such a pretty face.
And emo makeup.

Virgil willed himself to appear next to logan.
Logan didn't scream, but he raised his eyebrows in question
Virgil smirked
"Wait for the QnA, logan"
God damit the wall fell over!
Logan nodded, his father had been prone to strange outbursts such as this, and, so it seemed, was Virgil.
Virgil shifted his weight from foot to foot, as though deciding if he should speak his mind.

Eventually he did
"I dont care for roman... he's to high and mighty"
Logan wanted to agree for different reasons
But he bit his tounge.
They couldn't afford to fight, not in their current situation.
"Patton seems quite taken with him"

Virgil cocked his head
There was something strange in Logans voice when he said that...

Something bitter and angry and sad...

Ohhh.
Logan was jealous.

Virgil smirked slowly
Logan punched him halfheartedly in the gut.
"Shutup"

It was the closest to a joke Virgil had seen or heard from him.

"LOGAN AND PATTON SITTING IN A —"
Another lighthearted punch to the gut
"Did I hear my name?"
Patton had appeared from the other side of the building, roman in tow.

B u s t e d.

Opps.

"Yes. I called you over to discuss our next course of action, although we are safe for now, this haven will not last"
The others nodded somlemly.
The longer they waited, the harder it would be to get out.

Roman went first
"Well doom and gloom can teleport! He can just pop us outta here!"
The man in question rolled his eyes
"1. Not teleportation
2. It's risky if I take more then one person."
They nodded.
Bang goes that theory.
Then logan
"We could pass ourselves off as citizens?"
The idea fell flat, they'd be recognised to easily... they were on pretty much every billboard or ad in the city.
They all looked at Virgil but he shook his head
"I cant think of anything"
Roman scoffed and muttered about him being unhelpful.
Then as the tension rose, patton yelled
"STARWARS"
Everyone stared at him in utter confusion.
"Ya know... that scene in the first movie, where they pretend chewy is a prisoner to get inside the death star and rescue lelia?"
Roman light up
"But instead, I pretend to have caught you!"
Patton nodded.
Logan looked unsure
"That plan was when they needed to get in, not out... how can roman pretend to catch us without genuinely handing us over?"

None of the plans were perfect.
They all had risks... but maybe that was unavoidable...

CHOOSE

Romans idea
(Pros: no risk of ISSPT cons: risk of them all melting away, forever)

Pattons idea
(Pros: probably the least immediate danger cons: potential ISSPT capture

Logans idea

(Pros: safest cons: most likely to fail.)
