Jerica nodded. “Rhaebaki.” Maybe that was a bad move.

(Ugh yikes Trucks are scary even without a big truck)
"Hmph." He straightened, still clutching the shoulder that hurt most. "Just took man down there, now I find girl up here? Why so much going to and from Rhaebaki?"
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
(Yeah it was rough lol it took me like 45 minutes to make a half hour drive because I was scared haha)
“I don’t know.” She glanced at his shoulder, feeling a prick of guilt. “… Are you planning to try to hurt and/or kill me?”

"I promise no killing," he said with a huff. "So no. But you tell no one you see me or I come eat you."

“That’s rude,” she snorted, eyeing him. “What, you planning to eat me alive, then?”

"Maybe. If you not noisy. If you noisy then I just snap neck."

Jerica rubbed her neck, frowning at him. “Well I was going to offer to get you some bandages. But not if you’re gonna be an ass.”

"Bandages?" His brow furrowed. "I not dying from cuts."

Jerica eyed him. She couldn’t see from this distance and she sure as hell wasn’t getting closer. But she knew her skill. “I got you good… which isn’t good. It can’t feel good.”

"No," he agreed. "Feel very bad. But I have worse." He lifted up his furs to reveal a long, raised scar along his stomach. It looked bad enough to have disemboweled him. "I old and tough, these not so bad."

Jerica grimaced, rubbing at her own hip scar involuntarily. “Well… … sorry? I know that’s shitty. But… well…” she shrugged uncomfortably.

"I fine. I have place to be." He trudged back toward the woods.

She blinked, then took a hesitant step backward, watching him.

He glanced over his shoulder. "Go away, little girl. You have home here?"
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
She straightened, indignant. “Something like that.”

i like that the title of dr jekyll and mr hyde makes a clear stance that the embodiment of one’s own evil doesn’t get a claim to the doctorate — waywardxwallflower
