mondes !💡hehe... hands you wormboy
He doesn’t remember taking the sharp left that brought him straight into the bar or shoving past the jade blood manning the door, all Mondes knows is that in the lowlights of the establishment offered him the opportunity to catch his breath.
With his heart beating its way into his throat, he takes the chance to scan over the bar. Outside, he hears two pairs of heavily booted feet thunder past the building and a voice in his head tells him that it sounds like he’s in the clear.
Another chides for ever thinking he would be so lucky.
It must be an incredibly slow night, barely even a crown, with a few early drinkers straggling about in booths. He recalls having once heard that this place was a popular place to be, and he was banking on that being the truth.
There’s no crowd for him to disappear.
Fuck.
Panic pricks at the back of his neck, causing its hairs to stand on end. This sounds a lot more like the luck he was used to having.
His breathing picks up again and his vision starts to blur thanks to a combined effort of the breath getting trapped in his mask and the panic building to a crescendo in his chest.
Thankfully, before he gets a chance to come completely undone a rapping against wood pulls him back together.
Mondes lets his gaze zero in on the yellow blood behind the bar, beckoning him over with a wave.
“They’ll come in here eventually,” the bartender, who must be named Captain Obvious, says as he continues to wave him over. “C’mere.”
Mondes tries not to roll his eyes.
“And why should I trust you?” He asks as he focuses on getting his heart back into his chest. He knows very well that he doesn’t have much of a choice in the end, but looking too desperate could be a detriment.
The bartender raises both brows, it is obvious that he is not very impressed. He even rolls his eyes.
“It’s a gamble.”
“Can’t take those stakes.”
“They have guns, I only have a bat back here.”
That is a very good point. Chances are always slim, but a single bat sounds much more manageable than guns plural.
Mondes takes slow tentative steps toward the bar and just as he reaches it, the door behind him swings open.The bartender grabs his arm and shoves him to the ground so that he is curled up behind the bar, huddled up next to that bat that he mentioned.
What luck!
“Have you seen this troll?” A voice, that to Mondes sounded the equivalent to three bombs dropping at once, calls out into the bar. It is the sort of voice that takes up all of the space it invades, he decided. “I will remind you that harboring a fugitive will get you treason at best.”
“Officer Tirava! We know, we know the drill already. Do you have to threaten us every time you fuck up your job?”
“You know better than to lie to me, Achina.”
“I can offer you a drink, but I have not seen your man.”
The bartender, Achina, sounds perfectly chipper as he talks to the man carrying around a bullet with Mondes’s name on it. He doesn’t know whether her should resent him for this or not.
There is a palpable silence.
And then more silence.
The same voice from before tells him his luck is about to run out, because it always does.
“Be safe.” The officer finally says, after what seemed like an eternity of scrutiny.
“Always am, T!”
Then they left. Just like that.
What, no catch?

You ever just yearn for a top that can make your knees weak just by saying, "Hey princess/Cupcake/Doll"? That can bend you over, torture you, leave you lusting for more? That can, at the drop of a hat, either have you on your knees or whisk you off to dinner, and you're still convinced this is a fantasy? Yeah. Me too. 😍
