            “ i don’t hunt demigods, i am one. as for any of these sins— there’s nothing you can hold against me. ” a lie that was spoken through learned confidence, his jaw clenched, special blade in hand; he didn’t know what she was— but this metal worked well on other beings. “ now what do you want? ”

            for once,  she didn’t argue.  suki gives him a small nod,  slow and obedient on the surface,  letting him think she was going to do exactly as he said.  her hands slip quietly to her sides,  fingers brushing together in a motion so small it could’ve been nerves.  it w͟a͟s͟n͟’̲t͟. 
            she could feel the familiar spark gather at her fingertips,  that subtle tug of probability bending just slightly in her favor.  in h͟i͟s͟ favor.  a quiet little nudge to the universe—  barely noticeable,  barely anything at all—  but enough to tilt an outcome when someone needed it most.  her gaze flicked to him,  steady and strangely calm.   “ okay ,”   she whispers,  voice soft,  compliant.   “ i’ll stay put.  just .. be careful. ”   but as he prepared to step away,  she let that thin thread of her power wrap around him—  just a touch of borrowed luck,  a silent p̲r͟o͟m͟i͟s͟e͟.  he doesn’t have to know.  not yet.

            the beast turns around, catching some semblance of sound in the distance. aaron tenses, his grip loosening on her. for a moment he worried that he grabbed her too tightly, instinct working harder than any ounce of politeness he’d normally lead with but this was life or death and he had a civilian with him; civilian… but not mortal. he could almost feel it, strange. he nods, having a few questions of his own. “ i’ll distract it but i need you to stay here. ” he breaths out, though it was dark it was easy to see the urgency in his eyes. “ i’ll make sure it doesn’t see you, ” footsteps— his grip on his crossbow in his other hand tightens. his whisper becomes strained. “ on my signal. ”

            suki froze,  the stranger’s sudden closeness making her pulse jump—  though she’d never admit that part.  she’d meant the joke to land light,  teasing,  the kind of throwaway line she gave anyone.  the moment the strangers’ hand closed around her wrist and he pulled her behind the tree,  the air around him changed.  her smirk slipped,  replaced with a quiet,  sharp focus.  he isn’t just some hiker.
            she could feel the tension in him—  coiled, alert,  almost thrumming under his skin.  when he whispered,  his voice low enough for her alone,  something cold crawled down her spine.  she leaned in just enough for her voice to reach him,  soft but edged with her usual bravado.  “ alright ,”  she breathed,  “ bit you’re going to owe me an explanation after this… whatever t͟h͟i͟s͟ is. ”
