hehe, yeah... didn't think my first adult relationship would be with an eldritch abomination-
You flatter me Cairo. -big grin-
.... but I think it's gonna work out.
-Slim walks over to her and kisses her on the cheek-
Hmm... I think I see why humans enjoy this so... have you always smelled of pine trees?
Is that a good thing?
It is an excellent thing.
All our wishes can come true(Michael has noticed Johnny and Aelfi, and so thinks it's Johnny and Aelfi, because who else has a fairy around them?)
Excuse me? (He walks over to the two of them)
..You wouldn't happen to be Johnny Rodger and ...(pauses for a minute trying to recall the fairy's name)
...Aelfi, would you?
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."We don't know Arnold Shales. But he's a demon, so- they tend to know things. I hate 'em.
Aelfi's demon prejudices aside... I'm guessing you're talking about Lupus Vigil.
And- you gave me his secret identity.
'Cause he's a vigilante like I'm trying to be...
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postI mean, he'll probably be a bit annoyed with me.
But... No, you're fine.
I just- won't mention it and act surprised when he reveals it.
He was planning on making a super-group because of Johnny's work alongside him. Kinda- get the young heroes in his area together to coordinate on a more intimate basis than VIGILANT.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postI see.
Anyway, what Mr Shales told me is that his current client is apparently trying to keep some souls from being entered into something called the... Deadman Games? And Balan is tracking down this client in order to perform a hostage exchange?

-Cairo's hands are clasped withing Slim's as they look at each other-
-Cairo's heart is pounding-
S-so...
So...
-they don't want to leave each others gaze, but eventually Slim looks away-
This means... for the game...
We're gonna fight twice as hard. I ain't loosing you Slim, you're the only person I've ever felt this way about, so comfortable around.
-She tilts Slim's head back towards her-
When...when we win... I'm not going back to how it used to be... Whatever it takes I'm staying with you, with you and Plague Doctor and Allure... But especially with you.
-Slim slowly nods-
I shall be king...
-he brushes her hair to the side-
And you, queen...
All our wishes can come true
