{That's what I'm seriously starting to think.}
"I am ready." Ashen replied, picking up the last of her knicknacks and stuffing them in her backpack as she walked hurriedly towards the door.

"I'm going to assume you have no one you care to say goodbye to." Rune said with a small chuckle as he closed and locked the door behind him.

Is what I got. *shrugs* Accurate enough where it counts, but lower down not so much. Maybe I didn't click accurately enough, lol?}
"None would sorely miss a witch. I can say with certainty that this witch reciprocates the feeling." For a foreigner Ashen is surprisingly eloquent. The author's being a borderline Kankri/Aranea fusion from hell doesn't help any.

((I just realized, Rufioh, Horuss, and Cronus aren't on here. emotion_donotwant (For the record, Karkat and the Captors tied for first on mine. And Gamzee how did you get 6th place what is this.)))
"We've been over this, perhaps the others wouldn't miss you, but I would." Rune said easily as he walked on ahead of her as though it weren't a massive relationship hint of sorts.

{Yeah, that sucks. I'm also pretty sad that Kurloz wasn't on there either. (MEULIN x KURLOZ, although fairly new, is already an OTP for me.)
I'm not at all surprised to see Damara, Vriska, Gamzee, and Meulin tied for #1. I am surprised to see Caliborn higher than Calliope though.}
"Last I recalled, you aren't nothing - much unlike the peasantry that live in these parts." Ashen offered the back of Rune's head a smile as she followed him along. Sometimes she acted as if she were interested in him romantically, other times she treated him as a brother. She was an expert at speaking ambiguously and a master at sending mixed signals. Those are probably the same thing but that doesn't matter too much now does it?

Rune hadn't been much better as of late. Clearly his intelligence wasn't the only thing the elf was good at hiding. He was still always smiling, but it was more carefree than the dopey self he'd shown previously. And of course he had plenty of reassuring compliments that could easily be filled with romantic undertones sent Ashen's way, though he never said anything specific. It made sense really that the man living under a false personality for a few hundred years was good at covering the meaning of his words. "Oh am I now?" Rune turned around, starting to stroll backwards as he looked back at Ashen with a curious smirk. "Last I heard, I was a hopeless coward. You never did update that after I dropped my facade."

"I still think you are a pushover at times, but I never thought of you as a nothing. If I did I would have just used you like a doormat and left, like I do with the real nothings." Ashen admitted with a small shrug. "Do not get the wrong idea, though. I'm still certain you could not get very far in the world without me." she then teased with a small smirk of her own.

((For the record, with all our/their talks of self-confidence and self-esteem and all that jazz, I am AMAZED we never made a single Tavros joke. rofl ))
"Ouch! And here I was thinking the old me would've scored more points with you." Rune said with a small chuckle.

{You know, I think you're right. xd Like, damn. It's funny how the most obvious facts are always the first to elude us.}
"That's what you get for thinking." Ashen joked, unable to resist as they continued along. The tone she used and the broad grin she kept, however, clearly contradicted her cruel words. "In all seriousness, though, what can I say? I was never a very nice woman."

"Because that's going to help your witchy reputation." Rune fell back into line alongside Ashen. "Never too late to fix that you know. Might be able to stamp out all those nasty superstitions."
((Btw, I think our Big Bad is getting antsy to get unsealed in Bound by a Dream. xD ))

{Honestly, I've had a bit of block and I'm still trying to figure out how to reply. I thought about having Mara just leave Rally and Elizy behind to get that done, but I'm not sure how to word it or how to get it done. sweatdrop }
"Sadly, when I'm nice people assume I want something from them and try to burn me. When I'm cruel they do the same, so it honestly doesn't matter what I do. People will think and believe what they wish to."

"I still find it hard to believe every single person you've ever met has treated you as such. You're clearly doing something wrong." Rune teased. "But like I said; you've got plenty of time to learn how to fix that."

"Perhaps, but can you really blame me? When you eat enough rotten apples in a row, all apples start to taste just as bitter if you know what I mean." In other words, sometimes it's easy to overlook the few kind individuals when the vast majority are total dickweeds. "With a witch's lifespan, assuming I'm not burned first, I suppose I do have time to give apples another chance. Maybe I'll find a few sweet, well-grown ones along the way."

"I should certainly hope no one tries to burn you. I didn't think of bringing anything to fight off would-be mobs again. I may have to look into fixing that if you keep finding some especially rotten apples."

"Oh? How does one fix prejudice? People hold on firmly to their beliefs, as they are ingrained into an individual's mind and body in childhood or through trauma." Ashen looked curious, clearly interested in seeing Rune's answer.
