homeless, taken mid-"the ask and the answer"

[theknife]

I don't want to play yer stupid games.

I want to find her.

I need to find her.

(if she's even still alive —)

You know what, eff you. I know you know where she is. I can hear some of yer Noise which I don't unnerstand but this ain't the time for me to think about this when she could be anywhere and he could be hurting her.

Help me find her.

Please.

[He swallows, hard, and then gives her hand a squeeze in return.]

He wouldn't even tell me if you were alive.

NO ONE GETS IN THEIR WAY >:O

[theknife]
