[Panting]

I'm tired of this. Tell me. Tell me. Where is.....

[Celeste's sitting on the ground in the casino, rifling through the contents of a slot machine that she's ripped from its rigging, bottle of the closest thing she could reach next to her. Oh look, a little bell. This wire's pretty. Anyone

[The albino was standing inside the elevator, soaking wet from his latest swim, as it lowered to Deck 8, where Celeste waited.

He wasn't originally intending to go down to that floor but oh well, he wasn't quick enough to hit the button before it was called.

As the doors opened, the albino moved a little to the side before saying some form of a greeting.]

...Hi.

[thiefshonor]

[She dashes in, panting in terror, and pounded the "close door" button. Looking out the door intently, eyes wide, she let out a long sigh of relief when it finally closed.

Celeste leans against the wall and slides down lazily until she was crouching on the balls of her feet]

............

[sonotyourdog]

[The albino blinked at the sudden pounding and the crouching.]

Should I be amazed that something actually managed to scare you?

[thiefshonor]

[She has her face buried in her hands when he says that, and it makes her laugh a little wildly, full of relief and disbelief.]

I can't... I can't believe I just dodged that.

[For now she's way too upset still to notice that he's standing there half-naked and dripping wet]

[sonotyourdog]

Dodged what?

[He really shouldn't be prying, he wasn't like Bishop. Alas, he was stuck in the elevator with her for now.

...Not like his voice was being heard.]

A knife or something worse and more imaginative?

[thiefshonor]

[She stops panting for air for a moment and looks up at him. Right, Haine's here. Get yourself together, girl.

She stands and rubs at her eyes with the heels of her hands.]

A knife? Are you kidding me. I wish that's all it was. No, it was that goddamn priest. A priest.

[sonotyourdog]

You mean the kind that wields holy water and crosses while trying to be all exorcist on you instead of a blind, pedophile priest who stuffs girls and women of all sorts in to lolita dresses?

[thiefshonor]

...

[What.

She narrows her eyes at him.]

What the fuck are you talkin' about? No, the first kind. Jeez.

[sonotyourdog]

I had a feeling. The second option would have me asking about that priest.

[He gave a small smirk before shivering a little. Goosebumps all over that visible pale skin.]

Tch, damn it.

[thiefshonor]

...

[And then she notices the shirtlessness. And the wetness. And the goosebumps. If she weren't so shaken up, she'd be teasing him to hell right now.]

Why're you all wet...?

[sonotyourdog]

I was in the shower.

Of course not, I was swimming.

[He flicked a little of the water on his hand at her.]

[thiefshonor]

[She blinked at the water and frowned. Celeste hates water.]

Oh.

[Looking away, she rubs her mouth thoughtfully and sighs. She isn't exactly in the mood for kidding around. Maybe Haine doesn't see that.]

You ever dodged death before, zombiekid? I mean really dodged it, like you were certain you were gonna die.

[sonotyourdog]

A long time ago. When I woke up with this on my neck.

[Points to his neck ring which was showing through the bandage.]

I was attacked by that hag's 'pet' called Kenny. Got me across the chest.

Now a days, nothing doesn't even phase me injury wise. I've practically been through it all.

[thiefshonor]

Huh.

{Really? It was one of the few details he'd ever offered about himself. She considers this for a sec.]

Yeah, well, same here. Except for priests. [Grumbles and points to her face.] That's how I got this.

[sonotyourdog]

That sucks.

[Neither of them hit the button to a floor, did they?]

Well, if that other priest comes on board, I doubt you have to worry about him trying to kill you.

[thiefshonor]

G-Good.

[More priests. Ugh. She kneels again.]
