Noctisardor Bypass I can only point at it and say.

Ve are leaving. Anselm announced as he found @Etienne, still visibly shaken from his encounter with Glaukos. Fuck the kids, and fuck that man in particular (not literally, though). He couldn't control the shaking of his body, or the way adrenaline made his lips quiver and skin crawl. 

So what if two brats went missing? He wasn't a fucking nanny, and last he checked, Dinah was mean enough to make a badger retreat. She certainly hadn't held anything back the last time they spoke. Heda had hardly reined her daughter in, either.

Heda. Anselm started, realizing if he and Etienne left by proxy that abandoned Heda. Having experienced this himself, Anselm's stomach dropped.

No, he reminded himself. She chose this life. She chose Glaukos. She would live with her choices, as he would live with his.

And he could not live here one second longer.
