Keri stifled a laugh and climbed higher into the tree, trying to be as quiet as she could as she sat on a branch near the top of the tree.

Lake stood on her tiptoes to pull a jar of a green cream off of a shelf. She points again. “Sit, and I’ll explain as I take care of those burns.” She then runs over to a cupboard and rifles through it and pulled out a roll of soft, white cloth. She double-checks the jar, muttering under her breath.

"I know where you are, I know where you sleep" He called out in a singsong voice, entering the yard. He knew that Tom couldn't hold him back, this being the perfect time to do any crimes.

“Sit?” Slyvastor repeated with a tone of confusion. “There’s no where to sit…?” He wasn’t being thick on purpose, he was distracted with her musings and rumblings for the jars. The pretty colors enraptured him.

Keri's heart pumped faster in her chest and she debated jumping to the roof on the house from where she was in the tree. she smiled and thought to herself if he finds me i will jump…. but i'm no chicken if i don't have to be..

"I will find you Keri." He yelled, displaying a knife he found in the kitchen when Tom was in the other room. "There is no escape."

Lake suddenly snapped out of the stupor that her adrenaline was running her through and realized what a strange situation she put him in. It was enough to knock anyone off of their rocker, even if just for a moment. She sighed and walked over to him. “Here.” She said, putting a hand on his back gently and guided him to a seat. She sat next to him. “Pull up your sleeves for me.” She started to prepare the cloths and unscrewed the jar lid. “I call this place my “Apothecary”. I’ve been building it ever since I came here. I like to study herbs and their properties. I make medicines that I sell and I also sometimes makes poisons for my own amusement.”

Slyvastor registered sleeves and poison in that sentence. He decided upon innocent impulse to not roll up his sleeves.
“P-poison? I dunno, poison’s kinda… not good for wounds?”

Keri's heart pounded in her chest as she saw the knife that he was carrying, but she didn't jump or say anything. Instead she press herself closer to the tree trunk and tried to hide in the leaves shadows.

I'm taking enjoyment in makking Hunter insaneeeee.//

"I'm coming." He laughed, his laugh resounding through the yard.

XDXD its kinda fun, just make sure he doesn't go to insane//
Keri smiled and thought to herself wow, i have an insane person looking for me..Awesome! this is the most fun i've had all day!

Slyvastor registered sleeves and poison in that sentence. He decided upon innocent impulse to not roll up his sleeves.
“P-poison? I dunno, poison’s kinda… not good for wounds?”

Lake finally cracked a smile. “I don’t have poison in this jar. It’s a salve. Here. Smell.” She holds it up. “It smells good. It’s also good for burns. I specially mixed it for that purpose.”

Naah, he going fulll insaane…//

Slyvastor gave her a careful look and tenitively sniffed the concoction of herbs.
“O-oh. It smells nice.” He smiled a little but didn’t roll up his sleeves.

"Ya know why I love Heathers?" He asked. "Becuase, it's abou-" He was cut off by the back door opening and Charlie entering the yard. Charlie calmly walked up to Hunter and held his arms, Hunter struggles becoming useless.

ok….. but i refuse to have him kill or permanently damage my character… sry//

There shall be no controling of others charcaters, It's a pet peeve of mine.//

Keri watched Charlie come outside but stayed in the tree, not fully trusting Charlie's strength.

ok//

"DAMN IT CHARLIE, LET ME HAVE MY FUN!" Hunter yelled as he was dragged inside, the knife grasped in Charlie's hand for safety.

Lake noticed Sylvastor’s reluctance. “Here.” She scooped some salve up with her fingers and pulled up her own sleeve, revealing a recent burn of her own. She spread the salve on, sighing with relief. “See? Harmless.”

Keri giggled at Hunter and slowly climbed down the tree as he was dragged inside. she waved to him playfully and stayed in the lowest branch of the tree just to be safe.

Slyvastor bit his lip and gave a tiny nod. He rolled his sleeves back reluctantly, showing an array of small burns.
“There are some on my hands, too,” Slyvastor admitted with his head ducked.

"I fucking hate you!" Hunter yelled as he was dragged into the house.

"Everyone does," Keri said and she jumped down from the tree, brushing off her hands and feet before walking back into the house like nothing happened.

“Ok. We’ll get them fixed up.” She scooped up some more of the cool glop and spread it over his arms and hands with gentle fingers. Slowly she rubbed it into the skin. Then she took the cloths and wrapped up the burns. “There. They should heal much more quickly.” She stood up and started pulling down herbs. She looked over her shoulder at him and told him while she set about grinding the herbs, “Any questions you have, I can answer. Just don’t ask about the aquarium in the corner. It’s better if you didn’t know.”

Slyvastor looked over at it. “If you didn’t want me to ask about it, why did you say something?” He looked at her and tilted his head.

“I figured that if you weren’t completely in a stupor, you ask, so I figured I’d warn you ahead of time.” She started a benson burner and put a kettle of water on. She reached for a jar of white powder.

Slyvastor looked back over at the aquarium. “Now I’m curious…” he hissed this to himself, rather than to her. He seemed to be talking to something that wasn’t there.
