Of course this was just her luck. She was undaggered before only to be surrounded by a whole group of mindless teenage idiots and now she was undaggered to a room full of more mindless idiots who didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. They also didn’t know who she was. Not only was she agitated but she was also offended. Where did they get off not knowing her family?
They were making plans and from the things she caught she understood there was some gateway to Hell being opened and she wished Nik was here so he could say some dramatic thing about him being Hell enough. But no, she wasn’t with her family. Freya wasn’t here and neither was Elijah, Hope’s little face wasn’t smiling at her and instead she felt - alone. And she was hexed. This was obviously not her night.
“You know - ” she cuts through their conversation, looking between all of them as she slowly shakes her head, trying to ignore the scathing mark on her forearm. “ - you are all going to be sorry when my brother realizes you stole my body. He doesn’t like people meddling in family business.” Her eyes looked towards the man who had pulled the dagger from her chest. Seth, she believed his  name was. And that bloody professor declaring that he read somewhere that vervain could contain a vampire, ropes of them around her arms and legs. “And if you don’t release me I can’t tell you whether or not this hex will be kind to any of you.”

   so the blonde is up and mouthy and it's annoying as shit. because he doens't want to deal with all this along with the headache he's dealing with already. with hell coming to earth and he's listening to the ramble of Tanner when she cuts in. and he's hoping that she's gonna say something useful. but he doesn't know shit about her brother. even if she thinks he should. and he really doesn't care. Tanner says something about original and hybrid. but what he thinks of when those two words hit are potato chips and cars. so it's not ringing any bells. he knows they need the dagger for something. and there's that small like prick in him that's reaching out, needing his own brother here. but they took him. and he's hoping the map Tanner rolled out the day of is gonna lead them here. or that the mouthy blonde might have some insight.   he turns to look at her as he takes a few steps towards her. Tanner said that these vamps were different. great. a whole new species of shitfaces he had to deal with. only difference was her kind couldn't be killed. or at least that's what Tanner thought. he had seen 1000 Ways To Die, he's sure there's gonna be a way for her to die. if she crosses a line, if she's been sent here by them. different lore thought, Tanner had corrected. lore, that's what it should stay being.  "look I don't care if your brother Nosferatu is pissed off that we took you here, sleeping beauty. so why don't you shut your mouth and let the man finish what he's saying. unless you got something better to add." he gives her maybe half a second. "good, that's what I thought."

That look in his eyes isn’t lost on her, it’s one she saw more often then not in the mirror. they had both been used and abused in their lives and though it was unspoken, Kisa understood his motivations a hell of a lot of the time. “He took everything from me. He couldn’t have that.” Not when it was all she had left after centuries of being torn down. A smile to match his own graces her face and she almost laughs as he echoes back her own words. “Right - that just wouldn’t be fair.” Kisa adds another more soothing ointment to speed up the healing process. “These will fade. You don’t have to worry about that.”
image

 no, sir, that wouldn't be fair at all. is the thought that comes. like when he thought back on his old man. no way in hell he could have all his fun. so, what'd he do? put on a suit, outlive his old man's name. he and Richie were far better at what Ray Gecko had ever done. they were the shit and there was no denying that. well, at least when they were doing what they used to do. now they were in the middle of a supernatural storm. and he didn't know what to think or where to step. he had a funny little sentiment if he could go back. he wondered if there was a point she'd go back to. that was a fucking crazy thought. because he wouldn't have wondered shit about her before. he didn't care. would never care. she was the catalyst that had sent their lives into this shit storm. she said they had something in common before. and that burned. a sting of familiarity.

 he winces again at the feeling of her putting the ointment on . glad for the break from his head, because it ran hot if he dug too deep. he didn't like things that burned from the inside. "I was worried." he says, lowering his eyes to her hand working on his wound. he'd never think of Santanico Pandemonium as someone who healed. she had corrected him when he called her that. Kisa. whoever the hell she had been. who had he been before his old man? nothing. "don't want any of your snake marks." but it doesn't hold the weight. it's not even all the way thought out. he's not even sure what's bogging him down. he doesn't like the funk. but he's still sure as shit doing the dance. against his will.

          it’s easier just to humor him. she figured that out a long time ago but she still forgets sometimes. mainly when she’s so mad at him she can’t see straight and would like nothing more than to punch him in the goddamned throat. almost did once or twice, settling for a glare and pointed silence. neither has much effect on him though since he doesn’t care about anything that exists beyond his own interests. right now he wants a drink and by his logic, she’s supposed to drink with him and tell him whatever he wants to know since they’re stuck together. a roll of her eyes is her only response before taking one of the glasses from him, already regretting the decision before it’s made. ❝of course — because you have to call all the shots right? I know how this works.❞
Image

  he lets out a laugh because she actually seems affected by all of this still. and he likes to play on it. it's entertaining at the most. and he sure as shit needs some of that in the long lulls just waiting to get caught. or worse yet whatever world Richie had been dragged into catch up with him. but he's made an obvious mistake. he ran off. and he knows that he wants to see his brother. someplace in the back of his mind he wants to see him. but he's not gonna be the sorry shit that goes back. nope. he pours two drinks and sets one down in front of her before sitting down. "see, I don't get why you can't play nice like this all the time. it'd be a hell of a lot easier on you, sweetheart."

Kisa is gentle with him, her finger barely touching the wound as she dabbed on the cream. Wouldn’t do to have the big, bad Seth Gecko die of infection. His question, however, made her pause, not noticing as her jaw clenched in a hard line and her fingers gripped that little bit tighter around his wrist. A moment passed before she let up the pressure and snapped herself out of it. “He stole my human life. I wasn’t going to let him take this one as well. I wouldn’t let him win.”

Image

he notes the tension. and if he cared about her maybe he would have felt bad. there are a few things that he really cares about now though. he's not keen on adding her on the list. she doesn't get a spot. it's a short list. and a lot of them are already dead. Uncle Eddie is a raw wound that on bad days he blames on her, too. but the pressure lets up and she gives her answer. so, he knows the feeling. he thinks about his old man, thinks of the cold gun pressed to the side of his head, the way he'd snap with just about everything. he takes in a breath. "can't let them have all the fun, right?" he says with a vague attempt at a smile. something about it feels cracked. but he doesn't like the feeling. the weight of it. he's never been one to be called broken.

Kisa took those few steps to close the distance between them and take a seat by him side. Her head lolled to the side and she smirked, slender fingers wrapping around his offered arm and running her thumbs almost soothingly across his skin. “I won’t like and say I’m not. I’ve tasted some unpleasant humans before and you’re… not one of them.” He taste good. Really good. Not unlike Richard. Not that she would mention that and freak him out. “But I’ve been alive a long time. Cravings are hardly an issue.” Kisa reached for the disinfectant cream and squeezed out a small amount onto her finger. “This might sting.”

Image

  it does sting. but he's had a hell of a lot worse. her biting into him for one. it hurt but it was also another strange sort of sensation he couldn't put a name on. he could still sorta feel it along the skin. the way that lingered. with pain, too. a lot of pain. he hisses when it's applied and then looks at her. she's been alive for how long? he doesn't think he's ever asked. not that he cares. but he can imagine wear and tear. wonders if it gets to her. "how'd you live that long with yourself and not want to throw yourself off the highest building, huh?"

There. That was the snarky Seth Gecko she knew and loathed to reluctantly love. “I can do one better.” Generous was exactly how she was feeling after that little show of trust from him. Hands raised, showing off the bottle of scotch and tumbler she had encased in them before handing it over. “If I know anything about a Gecko - it’s that he loves his alcohol.” Her eyes fell to the wound. “Let me dress that for you.”

Image

 he could use a drink. a whole lot of them, keep them coming actually. and he'll be alright. let him get a little cloudy and block out all this culebra, monster, legend bullshit for an hour or two. he hadn't signed up to save the whole fucking world. he had signed on to help his brother run some run of the mill joint at the edge of border and not get himself killed. oh, wait, if he's doing some back tracking he had signed up for El Rey, a whole hell of a lot of money, beaches, paradise, and he hadn't seen any of that shit. her fault. he could blame it all on her. the past year he had, Richie was a bloodsucker, the whole world seemed like it was out to get him. and no, he wasn't being over dramatic. but he had a hell of a day, he had every damned right. he had to go back to prison, have his brother ex whatever feed on him, and now, well, he guessed so far for the first time things were looking up. "well, well, little girl, look like you're one step ahead in the game." he says, putting his arm out for her a little more. "not gonna get tempted to bite again, are you? not still hungry?"

The marks from her fangs still looked slightly inflamed, pink tinging the surrounding skin in irritation and the deep red of the puncture wounds only showing the first signs of healing. “How does it feel?” Concern etched every syllable and if she wasn’t worried he was regretting this decision in hindsight then she would be pondering on how times really had changed.

Image

how does it feel? it throbs, it aches, and he's wanted to scratch the hell outta it the whole time. he doesn't know how he feels about it. the sting of her teeth, her mouth against his skin, the draining feeling of his blood. he takes in a breath and looks at her, then at it, back at her again. "well, if you're feeling real generous you ought to get me some ice and something hard to drink. never pegged you to worry about my well being." he's not sure what the hell to do with it. he's not sure what the hell he was thinking doing it. all said and done now and it was really fucking crazy to think about.

          he wasn’t letting it go that easily. surprise, surprise. she’d never get that lucky. of course she didn’t expect to, not when it comes to him. hoped but didn’t expect. which might have been worse actually ——— hope’s an unrealistic thing to have with Seth. one would think she would have figured that out already, given how long they’ve known each other. and she has, she just forgets every now and then. just like she forgets she doesn’t actively want to argue with him until he says something that pisses her off. and he always does. why even ask the question when they both know they don’t like each other? there’s a lot of why’s she doesn’t have the answer to since it’s not something she thinks about enough to make sense of it. rather just ignore it. accept it as one of those unexplained things and leave it at that. brows furrow over narrowed eyes, the reluctance she feels at the suggestion of talking anything out with him met with the usual amount of disdain. ❝it wasn’t my idea to steal the car, remember? that one’s on you.❞ a necessary fact she makes sure to point out to him before settling back into her seat. if he wants to have this discussion then she might as well indulge him. ❝do you even know what I drink?

Image

he lets out a small scoff as he takes up the bottle near him. he wants to drown in it. he wants a hit of something, too. but he doesn't think Ana will put up with that shit. Kate had.but that was a story for another day. he pours two glasses. "you drink what I drink. that's how it works." because it was his plan, his way, his getaway. he didn't care what Ana said. in this house it was his rules and all that bullshit. and if she wanted to go? well, would he really want her to go? he didn't think he gave a shit.

 “let’s have a drink. talk it out. there’s no way in hell you’re gonna get out of this scoff free, sweetheart. the moment you jumped into my car you were in this for the long haul.” fact: ana had not jumped into the car so to speak. and he knew that she was gonna give him shit for that. he could deal with ana’s shit. what he couldn’t deal with was her running her lily white ass back into the states and ratting him out. he had enough to deal with. richie was a blood sucking freak of nature, that bastard. he was in neck deep in, low profile blown to shit. and this, this little canadian fiasco he wasn’t in the mood for. it was real cute when he thought about it. that he was one line away from the slammer again. “go on, I’m not gonna wait all day. sit down.”
