Ethan woke up first from to the early morning light flooding the room, the openness of the curtains very apparent. He instantly tensed up, as if from a bad dream that he couldn't remember, then relaxed as he took in his surroundings.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUO2WPsDEA
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGdeBKhEp4
He was at the safe house. They'd made it out. Hanna was here, he felt her next to him. Her arm was draped across his chest and she was using his shoulder like a pillow. He could feel her breath gently rustling his chest hairs. She looked so peaceful and surreal. He'd half expected she would have been gone by the time he awoke.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWIbZNVQ8F
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhcqSzqiS4
The hazy morning daze cracked away when he started to recall the events of the previous day. Ethan let out a soft sigh. There was so much he needed to sort out. His eyes drifted to the glass of water on the nightstand and wondered when she'd put it there. Then he remembered how thirsty he was and, after carefully extracting himself without waking her, downed the whole thing.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS1ulmNxkA
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Y2XNVkeC
For the first time in a couple days, he felt like he had actual energy, not just heat energy, and he wasn't going to waste it on worrying. First order of business, he had wiped a lot of the blood and dirt off, but it was still obvious that he needed a shower. After that, he changed the bandage around his ankle, which had finally stopped bleeding.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu5BhmkYkq
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pPbHO169V
Afterwards, he silently got some of the clean clothes out of the dresser, to avoid waking Hanna. He couldn't help looking at her with a touch of disbelief, still have a hard time believing she was here. It was no surprise that she was still asleep, no doubt that whole ordeal had been traumatic and exhausting for her. He resisted the urge to run his hand through her hair to wake her gently. He wanted to talk to her while his mind was clear, before the pressure of the heat returned.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4wPdMxz3d
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZIMC5QWPH
Deciding her rest was more important, he took the time to call Steve and sort out some items concerning Midas Financial. Given he was going to disappear anyways, there was technically no need to quit his job. However, Hanna was not in the same position and he wanted to do what he could to smooth over her unexpected leave. His life was already screwed up, at least he could try not to take her down with him.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb3SAOf7JM
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpThGzOwEpU
Ethan felt slightly relieved as Steve reassured him that Hanna likely wouldn't be fired, although Sarah wouldn't be happy with her. Steve was surprisingly understanding of the whole situation, and glad that were both safe, as Ethan explained what would happen next. Now that two people he trusted knew his secret, he wasn't looking forward to a new life without them.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA1Oo5XWkA
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNIlOijPe4
That sorted for the moment, he figured he should at least get somethings done before she got up, like breakfast. It had been so long since he'd been here, he'd forgotten what he'd stocked.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79GZPe4a63
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmywQnaGYNI
He walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge first, out of habit and forgetting it had been unplugged, and thus completely empty. The pantry had lots of canned soups and other dry foods. He was satisfied there would be more than enough for food both of them for at least a week, even though he'd never planned on stocking this place for two. At the end of his search, he found he wasn't actually hungry and didn't end up eating anything.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV1ydDe38q
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP7GhkEMyA
He ended up on the sofa, waiting. The undeniable arousal sensation of the heat wasn't back yet but he had no clue how long that would last. He very much wished he had asked his father a lot more questions about this, like how long it would last or if there was a way to get rid of it. It was just another thing to add to the list of regrets he had about his teens.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC1ylNZNfL
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWN8sWyjjy
His gaze drifted to the number on the back on his left hand. The number eighteen in clear black ink. The sight of it made his stomach turn. He wanted to get rid of it desperately, erase anything he could about that day. He went to the kitchen sink and he scrubbed the area until his skin was pink but the number was still there, hardly even faded.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TcdraUxFx
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDB9VXI5Yv
Anger and frustration flared up within him as he scrubbed harder. Before long, without realizing, he'd left his hand painfully raw with the ink still shining boldly. He leaned against the sink, trying to calm himself down, this wasn't working. In the end, he threw a bandage over it to cover it up, resolving to figure out how to get rid of it later.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyotxdyAD7P
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMvPG1tgul
Ethan checked in on Hanna again, this time, he noticed the mound on the bed moving and flicked on the lights. Irritated muttering emanated from the mound. He resisted the temptation to laugh at her childish behaviour as he sat down on the bed next to her.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxPBsSXPFn
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh3BmWifHs
Ethan stroked her hair until she cracked opened her deep brown eyes. "Thank you."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUkfb4Z3qk
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh03T6XAdOj
Hanna peeked her head out, still blinking sleep out of her eyes. "What?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGf61dcRIV
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PgrL7yikJ
"Just thanks for coming to get me." Ethan cleared his throat. "And everything else."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjEVwYK2rt
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVdamtmqdH
Fleeting emotions ran through Hanna's foggy brain until her anger jerked her awake, the memories still fresh in her mind from the previous day. "I was never going to let them use you like that." Her temper flared up just thinking about it. The idea they'd wanted to use him like an animal disgusted her immeasurably. She shuddered at the memory of the corpse on the metal table and she silently wished that he never asked about what their plans for him had been.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4rtjypfXR
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ALV0ta4E9
Now we can make our own plans, Hanna thought victoriously. She subtly observed how much better he looked today. He wasn't sweaty, he looked like he'd actually slept and there wasn't a hint of any tremors. It was like he wasn't even in heat.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam0NTQ1GXK
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKOqXw5xoo
"Is the heat over?" Hanna asked bluntly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpWO5B3m6n
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pIllWvrEV
"Um, no," Ethan answered, confused.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OmuKU1Bb6
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedu3GV3ssB
Hanna looked him over again. "But you seem- The symptoms went away?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBHjnxoCJa
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJGRPhawZ
"Um, they're only gone temporarily because..." Ethan left his explanation unfinished, beginning to dread where this conversation was going.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgQKYyn6bm
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH6DiQJBka
"Because of us?" Hanna suggested helpfully.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0mtToTFUf
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cVhgwjLHc
"Yeah. They'll come back," Ethan answered dejectedly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCj1g5ld9F
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc3DarwZuD
"Do you know when the next time will be?" Hanna asked.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dInjFGjPN
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7dGcMsQF8
She assumes there will be a next time, Ethan realized, tensing up. He had to ask the question he'd been avoiding. "Uh, no, but does that mean you're alright with staying here?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb0INq7jz7
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNZJJhmDta
"Yeah, it's fine. You can't go back to the city right now anyways, it wouldn't be safe," Hanna answered nonchalantly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzUZslmgEk
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v6mCjzPMZ
"I mean, you're okay with staying with me?" Ethan clarified hesitantly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhgVnScmU5
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhBRLRyTpS
Hanna looked at him curiously. "You're asking if I'm going to leave you here? On your own?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhVgUsL9qj
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5AV603xmB
Ethan nodded, his bright blue eyes searching her face for her reaction.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae4E7ncLca
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFHDVVBOVn
"I'm not going to do that to you." Hanna took his hand comfortingly. "I'm staying. Unless you want me to go."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I81Zx8dmj
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvvMwTHgvp
Ethan gripped her hand tighter. "You know what you're agreeing to?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8skl2grpHk
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaCqGkZX8G
Hanna smirked playfully. "I think I got a proper introduction last night." She winked. "Just let me know if you're planning anything really out of the ordinary."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGZv70iS57
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2iCkRR79c
"Um... that's not... it's just..." Ethan stumbled over his words.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQqQQ0Ssnd
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CrD5rV5As
"Breathe," Hanna told him softly. "Think about what you're going to say."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmNA8D2Wnn
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNG4mMVF35
Ethan took a deep breath. "With heat sex... I'm not all there sometimes. I might end up hurting you. And it might not always be... enjoyable."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkBp6orkc5
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCa2SKiJie
Hanna shrugged. "I've had rougher and I've had worse. You're not going to scare me off."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT1C6a0A7g
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR05Q52ucN
For the first time, Ethan eyed her with suspicion. She was being a lot more eager and accepting than he'd expected, this was not how he'd thought this conversation was going to go. Maybe it was just recent events making him distrustful, but this whole thing seemed way too coincidental.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz9uPC9xUC
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrqMk96u2s
Her appearance, her willingness, her acceptance. This seemed too good to be true. His gut was telling him something was off, but it could very well be his own nerves, he still felt very on edge. He wasn't sure he'd ever be able to shed the low level anxiety that had taken up residence at the back of his mind after this ordeal.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccNY51358S
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjQePhWMuV
On the other hand, this week had been so hellish that maybe his luck had finally turned around. Maybe Hanna just had that attitude towards the Charax. It had been made clear to him yesterday that he didn't know his coworker that well.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusiedD132y
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuSPLpodK4
Ethan stared at her uncertainly. "You're sure?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAdtfrUzBK
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7EB3z8VQQ
Hanna smiled as she ran a hand down the side of his face. "I am. I meant what I said and I'm not going anywhere."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMeby8eDsj
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUC0eXENvp
He looked at her intently, suspicion hiding behind his eyes.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhQbpCcdIb
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIokXthf1sD
"You're wondering why," Hanna suspected.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAQIG29BLS
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZDwvsN205
"Yeah. I am," Ethan admitted. "Why would you do any of this?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lrnre5LAm
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz111MIb2S
"You're so blind. Because I like you, even when you're an idiot and refuse to listen to me," Hanna said as the corner of her lip twitched upwards, betraying the smile she was trying to hide.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q2l2IIaIB
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLz6w4Aw2q
Ethan hadn't been expecting that answer. He recalled the warning she'd given him days ago. Pieces fell into place. She'd known what he was, what had been happening to him and tried to tell him that others were figuring it out too. All without him realizing it. Clearly, he hadn't been doing as good job of hiding the symptoms as he thought he had.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPv3lY85iN
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nKDyMUcSC
"You knew." Ethan rubbed his hands over his face.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljaj05a4oX
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tsOuPwNz2
Hanna laughed at his reaction. "Obviously." Then, her face fell. "I'm sorry."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5scojwY9K
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFvzX85ZqM
What does she have to apologize for? Ethan wondered, feeling his stomach twist at her reaction. "Why?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTLtHIulwD
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyBkhOO82Y
Hanna's gaze fell to her hands as she twisted the sheets in her hands. "I should have told you. Then you could have left before things got out of hand. None of this would have happened to you." She looked at him sadly. "I'm sorry."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9arIbAkfLt
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQM05nDm5d
Ethan felt the knot inside him untangle. "You don't need to apologize. This is my problem. I should have listened to your warning."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMaxe9oPQl
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lBWNVuumQ
Hanna hugged him, burying her face in his shirt. "None of them. You are such an idiot! You can't just walk right into traps."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTywEEvPpPd
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNsx558d4E
Ethan wasn't sure how to react to that. He patted her shoulder cautiously. "Normally I do, I was just distracted this week."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RMJ340s8a
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnV5LwOUzI
Hanna let go of him. "I got that, but it was still way too obvious. You never should have been working."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oIqHCYTpd
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjikfkeVU56
"Who else knows?" Ethan asked seriously. "Did you tell anyone?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzfHIbEt0s
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOzenuk96
"I didn't tell anyone. I know how to keep a secret," Hanna answered confidently, almost proudly. "The dealers wouldn't have shared that information either but Steve seemed suspicious," she added on. The Crimson Keys would have tried to avoid alerting their competition, wanting to get their prize as cleanly and quickly as possible, she thought.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMk24sLVRi
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJxWLba8qt
"Steve already knows," Ethan revealed casually.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22WvwZf4DE
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv4joHjySC
Hanna was astonished he'd told anyone. He was going to get caught sooner or later with those kind of slip ups, she thought. "Oh, okay then," she said quietly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCM15fQVCK
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjGaqYWhYL
Ethan nodded automatically. He was staring out the bedroom window, almost as if he was looking at the brightly lit pines, but his eyes were unfocused. His expression only got more troubled as the seconds ticked by.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5NV6ZJxJD
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolPaJiTVjd
"What are you thinking about?" Hanna asked curiously.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjN0zk4Q81
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0OCQkaAiV
Ethan sighed heavily. "Just trying to figure out how my life got so messed up."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHQ4OtYiAt
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0AR3DdIpr
"It's not messed up," Hanna protested quickly. He shot her a look. "Okay, it's not that messed up." The only loose end is whoever tipped off the dealers and I can take can of that, she thought, nothing a well aimed bullet can't fix. "We'll be able to deal with it."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu4qTvmByk
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOHK8LD0UX
Ethan recalled how she had set the place on fire, destroying any record they were there. "How can you be so certain?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjJa3x11YL
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRsqp96rct
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Hanna reassured him vaguely. "Don't worry about it."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM5eEmLRqJ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu4wyGcBcs
Ethan was strongly tempted by the opportunity to procrastinate. After all, they weren't in danger right now. He didn't need a new identity this instant. He could wait out the heat here, with her, and deal with that all later. Things could be easy for once in his life.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAESelSQY7
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0i5OQfy3R
"You look much better than yesterday," Hanna remarked, breaking his train of thought.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oBCyCZNKG
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstulgewI4o
"Water and sleep helped a lot." Ethan smiled down at her. "You too." She flashed a smile back.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe83YH8AWi0
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88tj5vGXlV
"Does the Trazinol help?" Hanna asked curiously.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYD3gHw1qR
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL1KXv9MPp
Ethan frowned slightly. "It does but I don't have it. It wasn't in my bag."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWU45PAnRf
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L8dO1yMeB
Hanna looked troubled. "It's going to be impossible to get without making people suspicious. Are you going to be okay without it?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSiYEvfuQi
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwpdPD2ro5
"I think so. You work a lot better," Ethan answered confidently. As long as you decide to stay, he added on mentally.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmHUywyaaC
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMm2i288zC
Hanna blushed at the compliment. She sat up, her neck achingly from her previous position and she rubbed it lightly, recalling her missing injuries. "What do you think happened to the burns?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV4dVlZj4j
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEcN97JEzi
Ethan pushed her hair aside, as if to confirm the injuries were still gone. Her skin was as smooth and unblemished as it was yesterday.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDELu8fZ8B
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJ9xgU3sS
"None of my injuries are healed, so my thinking is you're the one with special healing powers," Ethan reasoned.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3EPncSNDz
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHtjiPZTbq
Hanna looked him over, noticing he still had his assortment of bruises, some starting to turn an ugly colour. She didn't really buy his explanation. "I'm Terran, we don't get healing powers."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E7wiQZMVb
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4tCJEmrdE
Ethan fell silent at that comment.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JHmAXdCI3
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOKD4jiMCG
"Charax, on the other hand..." Hanna trailed off after noticing how he had stiffened.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GbBFdnwPF
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg3lshztgu
"Those are just rumours," Ethan tried to reply dismissively, attempting to cover up his underlying agitation.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJi2217x0s
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWXAXP9hEX
"There's lots of rumours," Hanna argued.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe2qKbzl8C
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj8TqROzdc
There were lots of myths that Charax body parts had mysterious healing capabilities, which fuelled the black market. Hanna felt her stomach start to twist at the thought. It was disturbing how many people were willing to commit cannibalism. Even more disturbing was how people tried to rationalize the Charax as non-human to argue it wasn't actually cannibalism.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4a2TqhlH6
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFvcklXxli
"There are lots of rumours. Rumours that have nearly gotten me killed," Ethan stated dryly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTZR9rteeZ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAxgRkLdvx
Or kidnapped, Hanna mentally added as she shivered at the memory. "Obviously, we can't tell a single person or let anyone figure it out. If it is true... I don't want to think of the consequences." That thought scared her more than anything, he was in enough danger already.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uTWQUumlD
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrmsw2iWEG
Ethan nodded in grim agreement.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHVhR0pvj2
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2JJ9Pi1Se
"We should know at least. We could test it with something small," Hanna suggested.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR2CNGNaMw
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWyGxQK2jm
"No," Ethan answered, extremely serious. "I'm not going to let you hurt yourself for an experiment on me."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DzDSAic9e
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneUc0bZ8ze
Hanna couldn't think of a good rebuke for that. "I was thinking more along the lines of just waiting until I get a bruise or something."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO6HwwMAGP
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrshqJp1sM
Ethan eyed her suspiciously. "No, I don't..." He sighed, taking hold of her hand. "Just promise me you won't do this."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH3k32gsW4
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuW08h9cRX
Hanna couldn't refuse a request like that. She was fairly certain she was right, but if he wanted to ignore it then there wasn't much she could do without pushing him away. Besides, pretending it didn't exist could be the safest course of action, for both of them.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIGg5Mhk82
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrwqJLrK5T
"I promise," Hanna agreed softly. "But if I get a black eye and it mysteriously disappears, people are going to ask questions," she joked, trying to lighten the mood.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIqhpU3ObE
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuUgfsLnmo
Ethan let his shoulders drop in relief. "You don't need to worry, that won't happen."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq6f1BTDUF
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4D7SEF76p
"Okay," Hanna yielded. She pointed at his new bandage. "Speaking of injuries, what happened to your hand?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyDG1JwTSo
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKwmqNa1wP
Ethan pulled his hand in towards him, rubbing the white tape unconsciously. "Nothing... I was covering it up."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPaUdhyNcP
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObgiKGqte8
"Covering up what?" Hanna asked, confused. She couldn't remember him hurting his hand yesterday.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu9BvZSOeG
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRdKMP34Fs
Ethan pulled off the bandage and showed her the number underneath. If Hanna was surprised or alarmed by the raw skin, then she didn't show it. Her face only hardened.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3pIpScgYx
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGt7Rg6uPl
Hanna felt a surge of anger at the sight of the leftover marking. "One second," she said, getting up and throwing on her clothes from yesterday. "Let's get rid of that," she stated flatly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n4bMXHtVe
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBtsUW6ppJ
Ethan stuck the bandage back on, feeling newly dispirited. "I tried that already."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gqFX19zGi
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5j7a5NwVG
"It won't wash off." Hanna pulled out a small bottle from the medical kit. "It'll come off with alcohol, come on."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPfdG4ec31
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQmOORnjNK
Ethan followed her into the washroom halfheartedly, watching as she drenched a washcloth with the pungent liquid. He pulled the bandage off his hand, holding it palm up over the sink as he reached for the cloth in her hands.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Kb2cZMHv
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM2yqBe2FB
"It's alright. I'll do it," Hanna soothed, stepping forward to take his marked hand delicately.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvGoDi9zmJ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8CVkt4e6J
Ethan watched Hanna rub the raw, inked area gently with slow motions, until the dark numbers started to fade. The tinted liquid began to run off his hand, forming small droplets at the tips of his fingers. He watched the drops slowly fall and splatter on the white porcelain, leaving grey dots all over the surface. For some inexplicable reason, it mesmerized him.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hAYuA4nrO
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqThC41us7D
Ethan's mind drifted away, the stinging sensation on his skin barely registering and irritating smell a distant memory. Eighteen. Seventeen before. That's almost more Charax than I've met, Ethan thought sadly, and how many were in heat? Probably most, if that's how they find us.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzkyNjrMzG
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbYV5lSfa9
He couldn't stop thinking about what the dealers had been talking about. It was like they'd known more about heat than he did, an idea that unsettled him to no end. He actively tried to ignore what they'd said, but he couldn't forget it. Nor could he forget what he'd done.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv0De34VLk
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVJK1vVSCh
Hanna squeezed his hand, causing Ethan to jerk and look at her, before letting go. "Are you listening to me?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTfsEE3E3l
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlC3wn0Iki
Ethan blinked at her. "What?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1c1peTI2l
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lnfbBoTvE
Hanna wore an expression of mild concern. "I said it's gone, you can wash your hands now."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2wZK7ookE

Ethan looked down at his hand, free of black ink. "Oh, thanks." He turned on the tap and began to rinse his hands rapidly. Hanna suddenly hugged him. She wrapped her arms around his waist carefully, mindful of his injuries, as she let her cheek rest lightly on his shoulder.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJYfOX4c8o

To his surprise, Ethan relaxed at her unexpected soft touch. It was warm, genuine human contact and it put him at ease. The effect her simple action had on him was impressive.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Az1HBfnGQ

To his annoyance, her closeness was arousing him again, mixing with his lingering dread. He shifted more of his weight to his injured ankle, causing the pain there to build. He used it to push back against the pressure, unwilling to combine the two emotions, unwilling to taint the mood.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH87JLXuppR

It was only lasted a few seconds before Hanna unwrapped her arms. She glanced at his reflection in the mirror. "I know that look," she teased.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM56c1YxlO

"What?" Ethan asked innocently.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3XC6SBxS
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5bMCeQFV3
Hanna winked at him. "That's your holding back face. You can be honest with me."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D42uwc1rq

"Okay, I'm not there just yet but... soon. Don't go far," Ethan admitted, reluctantly giving her the half-truth.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyHBNYCcor

Hanna chuckled and gestured out the window to the trees outside. "Not much place to go, out here." She paused, studying him. "And you don't have to wait until you feel like you're going to explode. Next time, we can be... preemptive."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0KRz5dGe9
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQrC8WXdc9
"I'll keep that in mind," Ethan replied noncommittally.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6zFzU2ils
