Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Ash looked away from her.

"Probably by her design, as well." he said.

"Wouldn't surprise me if she just tried to wipe away who you were before her." he went on. "...I say 'tried', but she clearly succeeded." he then muttered further, sounding unimpressed.

"She ruins the lives of all she touches." he went on.

"And she knows it. She relishes it." he hissed quietly.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Hazel just shrugged.

"It is what it is." Was all she said.

"Anyhow, casserole for dinner tonight, with that... that...." She paused, trying to remember what the meat he'd brought back was.

"Uh... that met you brought back, that I cannot recall waht animal it is from." She added. "Casserole with that and some mash. Yes? no?" She asked.

"I'm game. You have free reign of the kitchen." Rowena commented with a light laugh.

"And you're pretty damn good in there too." She added

Ash just chuckled.

"She really is." he said. "She's a miracle worker in the kitchen." he continued. "Hell, I've been eating a very large variety of food ever since I got her away from Vanessa." he added.

"Also, the meat I brought back was Briar Moose." he then said to Hazel.

"Buggers got antlers with spines and barbs all over 'em." he said further. "Tough as nails, too, and can ruin an ecosystem they don't belong in, but their meat is VERY tasty." he commented.

"Perfect for casserole." he then said.

"So yeah, casserole with that and some mash sounds pretty good." he agreed.

Hazel nodded.

"Then I shall." She said before turning and heading back to the kitchen, making plans as she went.

... He is still there. That pendant holds his intelligence... She thought as she started to collect all she needed to prepare the meat and get that prepared first.

If I were to take it, maybe, just maybe, his intel would be enough to get us out of there. In theory, maybe it has taken in all that has happened to AJ in the time that he's had the pendant. She thought, smirking ever so slightly.

She knew what she had to do.

The only question now... was when.

Ash watched her go, before turning to Rowena.

"...yeah. She's a real whiz in the kitchen." he said.

"She can make something out of anything. No matter how little there might be." he told her.

"And thanks again for giving her the scarf." he then said. "It's been a lifesaver for her." he went on.

"She's seemed a LOT happier with it."

"Yeah, no problem. AS I said, I wasn't using it." Rowena assured him.

"I'd much rather someone who can actually make use of it has it, if I'm being hnoest." She added after a moment or two.

---

About a month later, Rowena made her way downstairs and knocked on the door to the apartment. When Ash answered, she had one question for him. However, that question was never asked, after she noticed the concern, the panic, on Ash's face.

"... wait. What's wrong?" She asked.

"...the crystal..." Ash responded.

"The crystal with Lindsay's soul fragment..." he said further.

"I can't find it!" he exclaimed.

"It's gone! It's missing!" he told her, growing more panicked by the second.

"I've turned this place upside-down looking for it, too!"

Rowena was silent for a moment, not entirely sure what to make of that.

"I... shit." She muttered, her voice stunned.

"Have you asked Hazel?" She asked, curious.

"Maybe she's seen it?"

Ash's expression dropped even more when she asked that.

"...that's the other thing." he said.

"Hazel's gone, too." he told her.

"She... I mean... she's gone. I can't find her anywhere." he said further.

"She's not in any of her usual spots, and is nowhere to be seen around here."

Rowena was silent for a moment, not entirely sure what to make of that.

"That....." She started.

"That is concerning. I'm going to call my sister. She's good at scrying. Maybe... maybe she can actually find her." She said simply, shaking her head slightly.

"I don't know, either." Ash responded.

"Just... I mean... this..." he stammered further, seemingly ready to just break down there and then, before he took a few steps back and heavily collapsed into a nearby chair that was there.

"What could have happened?" he asked.

"I know you don't know, but that question keeps repeating itself in my head." he told her.

"But... yeah, scry for her. Search for her. She needs to be found before something happens." he reasoned.

"And I need to find that soul fragment..."

Rowena nodded.

"I'll do everything I can to help find her, and the pendant." She told him honestly. There was a determination, a conviction, to her voice that he couldn't deny the existence of. She would do literally anything she could do to help.

---

She followed where the fragment took her, knowing that it would be a good guide. She'd noticed it seemed to be leading her in a direction, so she followed it.

It probably wanted to reconnect with the whole.

She found where she was going easily enough, and just stared at the looming stones around her.

"... wow." She muttered.

"I did not know that this was here." She muttered, looking around. She'd left the scarf back home, as she knew where she was going, that wouldn't go well.

"Wonder if she'll find me..." She muttered.

No sooner had she muttered that, an elf approached her, seemingly from out of nowhere. But it wasn't the elf she had been with last. This particular male was definitely a wood elf.

And he looked smug.

He approached her slowly, narrowing his eyes a little.

"Well, well, well... look who's back." he said.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"Can't stay away?"

Hazel was silent for a moment.

"Hello, azari." she greeted after a moment or two.

"And I return with information. About where squeakers and his mother are located."

Azari's expression changed suddenly. To that of shock, surprise... almost being stunned... before his face curled up into a sadistic and sickening smile. One that would send shivers down anyone's spine.

"Oh?" he asked.

"MOST excellent." he commented.

"Madam will most certainly be happy to hear THAT." he told her, as he got closer.

"Now come." he ordered.

"She knows you're here, and is already impatient."

Hazel was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Of course." She stated.

"Lead the way." She added, slipping back into her submissive role far too easily. At no point did she meet his gaze, as was normal.

Azari didn't say anything, and (roughly) escorted her down into the depths of the complex that Vanessa had crafted. As they walked, Azari continued to smirk to himself, and even chuckled.

"This is priceless." he said.

The two continued to make their way through the corridors, stopping at a closed door, which Azari knocked on.

"Madam." he said through it.

"Seems the little bitch's absence may have proven fortuitous for you."

The door was opened about a minute later.

"How?" The woman who answered it ask, her voice extremely unimpressed and promising trouble.

"I know where Squeaker and his mother are living." Hazel answered honestly. Immediately, the demeanor of the elf lightened, seemed less threatening and more... intriqued.

"Where?" She asked. Hazel gave the address without a moments hesitation.

"Azari, I am going to go and investigate this personally. You are welcome to come with, or stay here. Your choice." She stated, looking to the wood elf.

"If not you, I will take Jenkins."

Azari narrowed his eyes.

"That little grub? No way he's capable of assisting you with that." he told her.

"You don't need him screwing this up." he reasoned.

"I shall accompany you on this reconnaissance." he then stated, before pausing.

"At your blessing, of course." he quickly added.

She had already said he was welcome to, but Azari knew that even then, acting presumptuous was NOT something one wanted to do in front of her. And until he added the last part, he'd been flirting dangerously close to that.

The dark elf nodded.

"We leave at midnight." She stated before looking Hazel up and down.

"You, though..." She trailed off, before forming an orb of particularly potent mana in her hands.

"You need to submit again." She stated, before throwing it at the redhead. Both of the elves could see the effect, how it coursed through her, the slightly glowing echo to her hair, the warm hue to her eyes.

As she sank to her knees, it just became even more apparent.

"Good. Deal with her until we leave." She told Azari.
