Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Hal paused for a moment, stunned.

"Woah, woah, woah!" he said.

"Let's not be hasty." he told her.

"Those were all just 'maybe's, after all. None of that was serious or for real." he insisted.

"Go ahead and say it, I can definitely get that done." he went on.

Lindsay rolled his eyes.

'Food. One of the ways to very effectively make a man change his mind.' he thought. '...myself included...' he admitted to himself.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Hollie just laughed.

"I wish my shoulder be healed. Properly." She told him honestly.

"Fully and completely."

Hal snapped his fingers as soon as she finished, and instantly, she felt her shoulder be completely healed. No pain, no stiffness, no soreness, nothing. It was like nothing had even happened to it.

"There we go, all better." Hal said with a smile, before looking at 'Victor'.

"...and geez." he muttered.

"That's... what a way to go." he said further.

"That HAD to have felt awful to go like that..."

"Oh, it probably did." Hollie agreed as she rotated her shoulder, testing it.

"Also, thank you." She then said before pausing, sighing.

"At least the attire's been recovered."

"And it can be put away even MORE securely." Hal said.

"Those cursed things have claimed SO many lives." he continued. "And just left others with debilitating states of body." he went on, shaking his head disapprovingly, causing Lindsay to think for a moment.

"So they won't kill if just one is worn?" he asked. "And why not just take them off?" he asked further.

"Simple answer, they won't come off." Hal replied.

"And if just one is put on, it will drain that aspect until it drains the wearer dry." he then added.

"They were made long before even Vincent and I were born, probably before our parents." Hollie said.

"A peasant, an alchemically inclined one, mind, was fed up with the king of the land at the time. So he created these to give him the boost needed in war." She told Lindsay honestly.

"However, he failed to tell the man in question about the repercussions. The king lived for years afterwards, but died miserably. Every death causes the next to be faster."

"...wow." Lindsay mumbled.

"And it gets faster each time?" he asked.

"They are quite bloodthirsty." Hal confirmed.

"...wow." Lindsay repeated.

"That sums it up." Hal sighed.

"They are horrible, HORRIBLE implements."

"They really are. When they went missing a few decades ago, I tried to find them. Eventually, I had to put it on the backburner as other more crucial things came up." Hollie commented.

"So having them again,is brilliant. However, I am not thrilled as to how they were found. I was hoping to find them before someone lost their life to them." She lamented.

"anyway, food. Hungry, Hal?" She asked.

Hal nodded.

"I am." he responded.

Lindsay shook his head a little.

"I'm going to step outside for a moment, get my head on straight." he told them, before excusing himself and stepping out the front door, shutting it behind him. Hal watched him do so, before looking at Hollie.

"Will you be ok?" he asked.

"That altercation didn't leave anything permanent or anything did it?" he asked further. "The Attire when worn as a set makes one... frighteningly formidable." he muttered.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Hollie didn't say anything for a few seconds before sighing.

"I'll be all right." She assured him.

"Really, I will be. I just... " she paused, thinking about how to word something.

"To put it very bluntly, I just might not sleep the best for a night or two, as there are a few bruises that I haven't had you deal with."

"...I see." Hal responded.

"Well, that's... hm." he mumbled.

"As long as you'll be okay." he said.

He then paused again, and chuckled lightly.

"Guess I can stop trying to find some dirt on Victor." he commented.

"Victor IS dirt now."

"That he is." Hollie agreed.

"Anyway, come on." With that, she headed inside the house proper, figuring he'd likely follow. She took all of three steps before pausing, debating going to check on Lindsay.

"Have a seat, I'm going to go make sure Lindsay's doing all right after all that." She then said before heading toward the door, and out. She stepped into the cold night air and looked around, wondering where he'd gone.

Hal nodded in response and made his way to a chair that was nearby, sitting in it.

"Well, things should be easier for Hollie, going forward..." he muttered.

"Not sure DEATH was something that needed to happen to Victor though." he then sighed.

Meanwhile, outside, Lindsay was sitting on a large rock that was off to the side of her place, absently staring.

At nothing in particular.

He was just... staring. Kind of blankly.

"Hey... you doing all right?" Hollie asked as she made her way over to where he was.

"And is there anything I can do to help?" Followed a couple of seconds later. He could hear the concern to her voice as well.

Hell, if he needed to bail instead of helping with the rest as they'd planned, she was completely understanding of that. Tonight had turned into a bit of a clusterfuck afterall.

Lindsay snapped back to reality and looked at her.

"Oh, just... what you said." he mumbled.

"Do I REALLY look like that when I die?" he asked. "Like, seriously. Do I really turn that ghastly pale and horrifically wither away?" he asked further.

"...if so... what am I putting the people that see it through...?" he then wondered.

"Or was that a bit of... hyperbole?" he inquired.

"I admit, I've never actually SEEN myself die and/or come back to life, so... I don't know what it looks like, and I've never really thought about it." he admitted. "Until now." he continued.

"Is it really that harrowing to witness when it happens to ME?"

Hollie was silent for a moment.

"Maybe not quite as horrific." She told him.

"However, yeah. It is similar. I think we've become desensitised to it from you though." She continued a few seconds later.

"As we've all seen you have your heart ripped out, your throat slit, poisoned, everything. I ... am reasonably certain that your death means very little to those who know you."

Lindsay blinked a couple of times, before suddenly laughing out loud.

"All right, that's more than fair!" he said, shaking his head a little. "Some of the ways I've gone down really HAVE been pretty bad, haven't they?" he asked rhetorically with a smaller chuckle.

"...but desensitised or not, I... might need to make a more concerted effort to shield myself when it happens." he continued. "Not everyone is desensitised to the same level, I would guess." he went on.

"Or, at the very least, maybe make it a common courtesy sort of thing." he added.

With that, he sighed heavily, and looked back at her.

"But you'll be all right after this incident?" he asked.

...and I'll forgive thy

Hollie was silent for a moment, thinking.

"Yeah, I should be fine." She asnwered.

"And Lindsay, before you jump to assuming this that and the other, maybe you should ask those that usually see you die what they think of it." She added after a few second.

"As in, as if it's a problem. For all you know, your daughter has no problems with it, as she can see what would be happening to her."

Lindsay paused for another moment, and then nodded.

"Yeah, that makes sense." he said.

"See if those that watch it are even bothered, and see what they think about it all." he muttered.

He then got up from the rock and got closer.

"Anyway, there's still organising to do." he said.

"We were making really good progress until... all THAT happened..." he continued.

"So if you want to put it off for later, I'm fine with that. Otherwise, I can continue if YOU can."

Hollie didn't say anything for a moment, thinking about ho to answer that.

""I think I'll be good to contine. However, I'm doing food first." She comented.

"Reasonably certain a break would be neneficial for both of us. Especially after that." She added after another second or two.

"Do you want me to let you know when food I done?"
