The Dragon and the Fox (1x1) [Telios & Guardia]

[ConverseGhost]

She waited downstairs, calling someone, speaking softly but harshly.

 

[Telios]

Finch was curious and came up to Dusk.

 

[ConverseGhost]

"Finch, baby, go outside and get in the car, I'll only be a moment," she smiled shakily, eyes nervous. There was a deeper voice on the other end, one that made some sort of question, kindly, almost and she snapped at him, turning away from him.

 

[Telios]

Finch nodded and got outside to the car, but not without a glance back at Dusk.

 

[ConverseGhost]

After a few more words, she shoved her phone in her pocket and got in the car, smiling as if nothing happened.

 

[Telios]

"What took you so long?" Tydre asked when Dusk got into the car. Finch stayed in the backseat.

 

[ConverseGhost]

"A call from work," she shrugged, turning to Finch. "You ready?"

 

[Telios]

Finch nodded with a nervous smile, worried about Dusk.

 

[ConverseGhost]

"Good, let's get on the road," she put on her seatbelt.

 

[Telios]

Finch put on his. Tydre started to drive after he put his on.

 

[ConverseGhost]

She turned on the radio, tapping her paw softly.

 

[Telios]

Finch looked outside of the window.

 

[ConverseGhost]

"Alright, so here's the map," she murmured to Tydre, putting the GPS on top of the dashboard.

 

[Telios]

Tydre nodded and continued to drive. "Mom..."

 

[ConverseGhost]

"Yes, sweetheart?" she spoke without turning.

 

[Telios]

"Who called you?"

 

[ConverseGhost]

"A man from work. Don't worry about it, sweetheart," she turned to him and smiled.

 

[Telios]

Finch nodded but Tydre wasn't the same. "Is it 'them'?" He whispered.

 

[ConverseGhost]

"No. Just an actor that I'm about to help shoot a movie for. This one's big movie, so everyone's anxious," she shook her head, looking to him.

 

[Telios]

"Hm..." Tydre nodded before sighing. "Don't hide anything from me, ok?" He said quietly.

 

[ConverseGhost]

She nodded but looked away now.

 

[Telios]

Finch whimpered and looked down at his lap, feeling that it was his fault.

 

[ConverseGhost]

"The Zoo's just around the corner," she spoke softly, ears low.

 

[Telios]

Tydre continue to drive, sometimes glancing up at the rear view mirror to check on Finch.

 

[ConverseGhost]

Dusk tapped her foot restlessly.
