The woman-Aria-didnt protest as he came over the her. Taking the....man's body by the arm he crouch down and pulled the the corpse over his shoulder. He stood with ease. He'd done this many times before both in serious and in play. A playful memory of wrestling with a girlfriend came to mind. Weird how the mind goes to strange places when trying to deal with.... he wasnt sure what it was dealing with. He certainly didnt feel like mist, even missing 8 pounds of head.
Connor followed Aria to the alley, unsure where she intended to take the corpse. She paused snd he stopped, looking at her expectantly. Suddenly, the dark man was behind them, holding out the head.
"You forgot the head
," he said weakly. He looked unsure on his feet. Though color had returned to his face, he kept closing his eyes and taking deep breaths. Connor looked at him with concern and the reached out to take the head with his free hand. He ignored the imagery of him holding the head by its hair, like Perseus holding the head of the Gorgon Medusa he'd seen in that old movie he'd seen with his dad- Clash of the Titans.
"I'm Jensen....James
" said the man quickly. The name tickled his memory. Then the man turned as if to go.
"Wait!
" Connor said. He was at a fork in the road. He was carrying the corpse of a monster for a woman for whom this was old hat. But leaving her to take care of things was not thinkable. He just couldnt do that. But this young Jensen guy looked like he was two seconds away from vomitting or passing out. Given that the Giovanni guy seemed uninjured while this guy still looked worse for wear, he could only guess that the creature had done something bad to Jensen. Leaving him to die from injuries later was not an option.
Instead he made a decision. He looked at Aria and Jensen firmly in turn. Giovanni was content to wait out on the street so he wasnt involved in this conversation.
"I have no clue what is going on...or what the hell an ijiraq is and why it was also this man on my back and whose head I am holding. I dont understand how you made hail
"- looking at Jensen- "or how this seems just like a normal days work for you
"- to Aria. "I get it. This doesnt involve me. Except that I am here and
"- to Aria- "unless you have a posse up your sleeve youre gonna need help getting rid of this thing. And you
"- to Jensen- "look like you are going to pass out in about 2 seconds. So I am telling you know that as of now...as of right now- I am involved and I am going to help both of you.
" Maybe it was too blunt but he was way passed caring. Another way the mind dealt with stress he guessed. "So lets do this. Lets take care of this thing first. Jensen, you come with me. Along the way maybe I can get you some help...or at least help you get home safe. What do you all think about that.
