          CALEB     |   P.13   |    FORMER CRIMINAL
          	      ────    ❛ i trusted you.  you took everything. ❜
          	  
          	   Caleb was not special. 
          	  
          	  A standard employee with no real power, nor any special goal. He was just there to work. To pay off the debt, he accumulated through circumstances buried away in shame. 
          	  
          	  There was once a time he was more than this. A thief partnered with another he had trusted his whole life with. He never looked back at scenes. He did not need to. He was never caught. Neither of them were. A masterclass of handiwork and stealth. 
          	  
          	  So .. why? 
          	  
          	  What was all of this for? 
          	  
          	  The penance he pays is one-sided. It weighs on him and him alone. Whilst his old  'friend' lived a pretty life free of their bounty and with all the riches caleb has to pay off.
          	  
          	  It was unfair. The entire situation, and yet all he can think about now, is getting through the day. No reward, no resentment, no anger. Just a fatigue that heavies each boot that hits the floor. 
          	  
          	  He does the dirty work. 
          	  
          	  As always.

⠀⠀@medicology ⠀⠀◞      uh .. (   he looks down at the mentioned wound, lips pulled into a tight line that then quirks upwards.  shrugging, he lifts it.  )  sure, I guess? it's barely a problem, ain't it?

@cntracted          ›        mm,    [  lian yue replies,  the coldness doesn’t chip away at the physician’s shoulder.  he’s encountered too many who have worn scowls when entering his office.  however,  the blonde instead offers a warm smile that stretches on his lips.  ]    you have a cut on your arm.  could i bandage that?  it would be worse if it got infected.

the ravenette's mind was in a frenzy as he laughed out loud to himself.  the curse he was sent out to deal with had long since been killed,  but more effort had to be put to take it down,  leading kurenai to be in the crazed state he was in now due to all the blood loss he sustained during the fight.

⃟꙳◞       @bloodebts      :         ``   I'm  not here for the curse.    ``   he simply stated, head tilting as he watched the man writhe around and laugh. he steps forward, casually, making his way closer to the sorcerer.    ``   the job was to kill it quick, not go crazy on the process.    ``

〝  that curse should've just put me six feet under already? " kurenai said nearly incoherently between laughs.  the headache he felt was splitting,  his heart rate spiking,  making himself feel dizzy as he laid back against the ground.  his gaze fell onto the other who stood nearby with his trademark smirk〝  what are you even here for man?  curse is long gone if you were hoping to get a hit on it "

⃟꙳◞        @bloodebts      :       it wasn't open chūn yán was sent out to help a sorcerer --   much less control one.   he  stood in silence,  analysing each frantic movement that he saw.  his hand rested on the hilt of his sheathed sword,  and  he got off of the wall he sat upon.      he made his way over to the frenzy-ing ravenette, indifferent as always.    ``  this is what they get for giving you a job on your own?    ``

⃟꙳◞         @vermitic     :        blank eyes draw to the avian squirming around in the hand before him.   he simply reaches out and takes the bird from his hands,  indifferent.      ``    i wouldn't touch them  next time,     ``   he  speaks casually,     ``  they drain cursed energy.    ... also, there wasn't really much to eavesdrop on.  I got bored after a while.    ``
