"................" Marcus was silent for a long moment.

"I see." he said.

"..." he was silent again, wringing his hands a little, and then sighed heavily.

"Well, we need to wait." he then said.

"Just... it'll be a bit before Desiree is fully cured of the Daisies." he reasoned.

"It should be completely out of her system at least."

Marcus didn't seem to react at first.

"Ah, so you're awake." he commented.

"...." he was then silent for a moment, pondering what she had said.

"....she did?" he asked.

"Like... she really did?" he asked her.

"...wait... wanted?" he then inquired.

"Does she still wish to, or has that passed...?"

".....Rocky..." Marcus muttered.

"I'm scared." he told her.

"I'm scared to face her." he said.

"How can I look her in the eyes? How can I speak to her?" he asked.

"...What if she hates me even more?" he asked further.

"Can I deal with that?"

@Lina: Thanks so much! And all right then.

Already completed the trade, too.

"Oh, I'm sure she cares." Marcus responded.

"I mean, I'd be surprised if she wasn't at least curious as to why I abandoned her." he went on.

"....." he was then silent for a moment, his voice growing quieter suddenly, but still loud enough that Kalin could hear what he was saying. Barely, but she could.

"Am I even worth it, Rocky?" he asked.

"Is someone like me even worthy of the chance to try and make things right?" he asked further.

"Isn't it better for everyone if I remain a shadow of her past?"

"......" Aly was silent for a moment.

She didn't know what to say here, so she pulled him into a hug and held him close.

"Eke." she said.

"I wish I could help."' she told him.

"All I can say is that I'm here for you." she went on. "No matter what happens, I'll try and do whatever I can to help you in anyway I can." she assured him.

@Lina: That's my bad, I never really actually thought about that, but... well, it doesn't matter TOO much at this point. The pic looks mighty fantastic, and I'm perfectly happy with it!

(However, they're green. You don't have to do any edits, but just thought I'd throw that in there)

And please, as with Amber, I'd like to put the image on my toyhouse, and would like to know if I'm allowed, and how to credit you.

"....why?" a male voice asked.

"Dominick at least had a good reason for disappearing." he said.

"Why did I disappear? Because I'm a damn fool that doesn't know how to take care of his family." he responded.

"My wife and son are dead, and it's my fault for leaving and not making sure things didn't turn out this way." he went on.

"Why would she even want to see me, anyway?" he then asked.

"Why would she want to see the eyes of one that couldn't protect her when she needed it the most?"

"Lady Sherwood, you don't know me, but I have information for you." a male voice responded.

Then, before she could speak, he gave an address, as well as the coordinates for the address.

"Desiree and Kalin are safe, but the hunter gang is due to notice their disappearance any minute now." he warned. "If you want to strike now and take them down, do it NOW." he said further.

"Be quick, or you'll lose your opening for a surprise attack."

Dom looked over towards the phone.

"...eh?" he muttered.

"........" he was then silent, before his eyes opened wide.

"Sydney." he said.

"I'd answer that if I were you." he told her.

"...odds are it'll be something VERY important."

Marcus just shrugged.

"Yeah." he said.

"Still got some scarring on my back from the encounter, too." he told her.

"Not like I didn't deserve it, though." he continued.

"I wouldn't have blamed you had you left me for dead back there." he then admitted.

"There are worse ways to go than at the hands of a woman like you." he added with a small smile.

Marcus nodded in response.

"....thank you, Rocky." he then said.

"For everything." he told her.

"You've made things a lot easier for me." he continued. "Perhaps easier than I deserve..." he mumbled further.

"After all, not many would help a rogue hunter like me."

Marc checked his phone, and nodded after a moment.

"Got it." he said.

"Rescuing the girls is the first step, and the biggest one." he told her.

"But it's not enough." he continued. "They need to be taken down. And I don't know if so many people knowing about this will do me any favours in getting this done." he reasoned.

"But I want her and whomever she gets to help to essentially get the battling and cleanup done." he continued.

"Finish the job." he summarised.

"....." Aly was silent again, but smiled.

"We'll get it back." she told him.

"We'll find it and get it back for you." she assured him.

"After all, if we're gonna end this, we may as well go ALL the way!" she then reasoned with more confidence in her tone.

"All right?" she asked.

"And we'll make sure it looks as good as when you lost it." she then added.
