Winter led the way into the bank, his daggers already drawn. He really did look terrifying like this, daggers drawn and bandana over his face.

Mycah, following behind, didn't look nearly as intimidating. If people didn't get properly scared by Winter just walking in, then they were really brave. Mycah was very glad Winter was on their side.

Winter grinned slightly as he shouted out the orders, hoping he was doing this right. People were indeed scared, the people behind the counter wide-eyed.

Well, if stuff kept going like this, Mycah didn't even need to do anything. They stood back, arms crossed over their chest, eyeing the people and glaring at them if they looked like they were thinking of doing something.

Winter looked at Mycah for a moment, raising his eyebrows slightly. "Go get the money." he said, casting his voice a bit deeper to make it harder for anyone to recognize it.

Mycah simply nodded and headed towards the money. The safe looked really scary, but their magic was scarier and opened it easily. They put as much as they could grab in a bag they'd brought with them, moving as quickly as they could. The less time they allowed for law enforcement to come, the better.

Winter waited, keeping an eye on everyone. He tossed a throwing knife at a clerk who tried to reach for a phone, the knife embedding itself in the man's hand.

Mycah hurried back to Winter, giving him a nod to indicate that they had the money. They then walked past him, towards the door, eager to be out of there.

Winter nodded. He waited until he knew Mycah would be most of the way to the car, then took off, heading towards the car.

Mycah hurried to the car, opening the door and hopping inside. They turned on the car, then waited for Winter, glancing around every so often to check for anyone that might be coming to stop them.

Winter got into the car. "Go go go go." He hissed out, taking the bandana off and getting buckled.

Mycah pulled into the road, driving back towards the main road. "Did anyone call for help, and is anyone following us?" They asked, pulling off the bandana with one hand.

"I don't know." Winter said, in response to both questions. "Take a long route back, just in case." He reached to adjust the rearview so he could watch, keeping an eye out.

"Okay." Mycah turned onto the main road, continuing away from their home base. If they remembered correctly, there was a small road a little way out of Merilla that led back to Sutoni in a very round-a-bout way.

Winter was silent, keeping an eye out for any pursuers. He could only hope that they'd get away easily. He didn't know what to do if they didn't.

Mycah turned onto the road, glancing behind the car. Nothing. They let out a small breath and looked back to the front. The road led into the forest, disappearing behind the trees.

Winter was quiet, keeping an eye on the rearview to make sure they weren't being followed.

As soon as they entered the forest, Mycah let out another breath and looked over at Winter. "You see anything?" They asked. With luck, no one had gotten a good look at either the two of them or the car they were driving, so no one would pursue them.

Winter shook his head. "No." He replied, still looking. He was frowning just a little bit. "I… think we may have gotten away with it. Though it's too early to tell for sure."

"True." Mycah nodded slowly, easing up on the gas slightly. This road was not a nice, smooth one and they really didn't want to wreak the car. Not that they thought so lowly of their driving skills, but it was better to be safe than sorry. "Maybe they're saying something on the radio?" Mycah looked at the radio, which had stayed off since they'd acquired the car.

Winter nodded, and reached to turn on the radio. He flipped through the channels until he found a news station, settling on that and letting it play.

Mycah listened, half their attention on the news and half on the road. It was much worse than they remembered, but definitely not as bad as some of the roads they'd had to drive on. But they still switched most of their attention to the road. If they missed something important, Winter would surely hear it.

Winter listened carefully, eyes focused on the rearview. He let out a slow breath, hoping that he wouldn't hear anything about them.

Mycah focused on on the news for a second, glad that they didn't hear anything in that moment. It was a real shame they were possibly running from the police– in a different situation, Mycah would have loved to stop and take in the forest for a few minutes.

(Gtg sorry)

Winter looked out at the forest for a moment, then turned back to the mirrors, watching for any pursuers. He didn't see or hear anything, so…"I think we might be in the clear." he said, a hint of relief in his voice.

(Good night!)
"Thank the gods," Mycah sighed, feeling a little bit of tension leave their body. That was one thing to cross off the list of things to worry about. Now they just had to hope it stayed that way.

Winter nodded. "We need to get jobs. We can't just rob a bank every time we need money. Or, I guess we could, but it's too big a risk."

"Yeah, agreed." Mycah nodded. Getting a job would be a really fun experience. What kind of place would hire a dangerous soldier with zero work experience? "It will an… interesting search."

Winter nodded. "You're not the one with the demon inside you." He said with a faint laugh.

"True. But I've also never actually worked an actual job. Have you?" Mycah asked, looking over at Winter curiously. This whole thing would be a very interesting experience. Hopefully, they could both find somewhere to work that wasn't too bad.
