_{hunters. he knew the both of them could handle
themselves, but these were not the usual breed.
no, these were different. dead set on getting
the one person he trusted these days.}

_{that wouldn’t stand. not at all, but even ky knew
his limits, going up against a group wouldn’t earn
him any favors. sure, he could take them out, but
he’d be in worse condition than last time. so, that
was out of the question. what they needed was a plan.}

                                 _{“ — any bright ideas? ”  he asked, lips forming into
                                 a thin-line as his arms slid calmly behind his back. 
                                  “ or is it the usual today? ”}   

_{getting out of there was the only option at this point.
he needed to breathe. he needed to actually take a
breath of fresh daylight air – something that he’d
been lacking for several weeks. maybe that was
why he’d been debating leaving – not forever -,
but only for a few hours. just enough to actually
stretch his legs properly, but it seemed vlad
wasn’t about to have that.}

 _{a deep breath was taken in and then let out slowly.
he needed to focus  – to not let his anger get the
best of him, but as with all other times it failed.
his hands balled into fight fists as his heart
rate sped up.} 

_{suffice to say, ky didn’t think leaving for a few
 hours – not even five – was a big deal, but
apparently it was. so much so that a threat
– or maybe it was a promise was issued
towards that fact.}

                                 _{“you think you’re so cleve don’t you? attempting to order me around, but
                                  here’s the thing.” he took a step forward. “you won’t get the chance
                                  to really drag me back here.”}

_{or rather, that was what he thought – a compromise 
was possible. even something he could do, but why?
ky didn’t feel the need to. not now. so he’d push the
other’s buttons just enough and try to pick up the
pieces later. if he even got that chance}

                                     _{“five hours,” he said, tone falling flat as he spoke his next few words. 
                                    “i’m sure you can handle yourself with-out me for that long, can’t you?”}
