Fast Goodbye.

Hey! Stop! Hey! Waz ur plan, eh? Ogre's pissed I ran. Talk! - SB

Crick's view gave me the end game. So it's shortcuts 4 me. Hollow Lands it is.  - Arrow

Ha! Short road brings blood, long road brings sweat... - SB

Eh? Hear ur mama talking! Bloods coming either way, even fast routes r 2 slow now. I'll b thru the Bramble n sleep in the Tanglewood 2nite, run again @ dawn. K. Nuff. Go back. N sleep well sister, mine. - A

Huh. C u in the dreaming, then. xo - SB


Bush healing...

Rain on the canopy n woods damp easing up round u. Some mystery, eh?! That breath from natures growth n decay. Cleansing n healing... Just wot the soul needs... - Arrow

The Exchange

Going where I'm supposed 2 Ole Man. - Arrow

No. Ur my Bowyer. N as such I have the talk. Otherwise u can get ur ass over the Hedge n stay there. - Old Man

Huh. Was about 2 fetch ur Ghost Buster back. U think my time's worth ur food n hearth? Or should I just stay gone. - A

Always a smart ass. Gotta have ur way. Whatever. U think ur brain's up 2 it? Haul his ass back. Bout time ur were useful. Eh! Don't slam the door!! - OM

Huh. Freakin' Ogre... - SB

Wot?! Any one talkin' 2 u?! - OM


The voice of reason, or some such...

Oh shut it, Bowyer. Wot u want? A medal  or a chest 2 pin it to? Giving the great sacrifice on behalf of us all. Saint r u? Like ur mother? Huh. Don't need ur sheite. Got enough a me own, yah?
Waz this about Rogue hunting a lone Walker? Freakin' Hippie, better get his ass back here. It's the Thinning. Wot I pay him 4 if not 2 b @ the Borders @ Hallows?? N where u think ur going?? - Ole Man


Scattered bits.

U found 'im? - Sleeping Beauty

Aye. He'll b seeing u 4 the rest of it. He needs 2 know. His turn, eh?
U finish my pack? - Arrow

Seen. Arrow? U could live beyond the Hedge. U could b free? Y stay here? - SB

Huh. How could I get out n stay out when the rest of me is here? U, the rugrats, the Ole Man? Y'all r here. Only pieces of me r free. I come back n battle 4 the rest, eh? Cuz we're all parts of a whole n we work 2 make the whole free... - A

A job 4 each...

It's part of this place, see? The Walkers stalking us, hunting our name. It's not u or me. There's us, n our home n its people. There's the Hedge n our neighbours beyond. N Worlds beyond that, in this time n in others. It's all a warp n weft of the fabric that flows from Sanctuary's loom. So no, not ur fault. We all face the same challenge, tho it's different 4 each.
Rogue's story is tied 2 the Grave Walkers, who r tied to our Briarwood. Spookin' is his business. 'S y the Ole Man let's him stay. - A

Nuther story that, eh? - Runt

;-) True that. But we've heard the talk, u n I. N me guts churning. Not a good time a year to be a lone hunter. - A

U'll b lone till u finds him... - R

True. But Over Hedge is not strange 2 me. I've friends. N when I'm gone Beauty'll need 1, eh? N that's u, k? Oh, n eh. She sleeps soon. So I'm chargin u, keep watch. - A

Take care of the small things...

Munchkin? Hey... Midge thought u might b here. Y so blue? Hey, 's cool Titmouse, c'mere. - Arrow

My fault, eh?!! Ain't it?! - Runt

Wot? Rogue spooking the Walker? No, Babe. I never finished the Walker story, eh? U gonna chat with Beauty, k? 2nite, 2morrow. Tell her ur ready 4 the tale. K? Hear me now? - A

Yesum. I hear. U goin' 4 Rogue, eh? Please? - Runt

Mmmmm... I is, but there's 1 bit I'll tell u 1st.... - A


Never a straight line...

K. S y u? Rogue's not 1 to stick his neck out 4 u? Eh? - SB

Not always had his back either now, 'ave I? Thing is, people r like peeling an onion. The more layers u take off the likely u r 2 find out wot's going on. That Man makes ur eyes burn n run water, but he adds good flavour. Good heart under the crusty top. - A

Huh. Here... - SB

Hey! Midge! Waz up?! Slow up chickie! - A

Runts run!! - Midge

Wot? Now?! Crap. - A

Possibilities

N this close to Hallows? Ha! More 'en Walkers about, eh? Gots dust from the Fae. - Arrow

Eyeee! How'd u do that?! Don't b smirkin'! Wewh. A lady of possibilities, u! - Sleeping Beauty

Lol. Shut it, eh? - A

No sheite! No easy game, them. Like ur danger, wot? - SB

Huh. Ole Man shoulda not picked Faelan 4 his fortress then, ya? It's all of a piece.  - A

Hunh. It's Rogue's job, eh? The Walkers. - SB

Ass. Shoulda took back up this close to Hallows! - A


Pro packing...

Wot? No bow? - Sleeping Beauty

Huh. Ya! The wedged 1 n the click arrows wot fold, just in case. Not so strong as the Long but the fold set packs lite n tight. Bows r 4 open turf, he's in bush. I gots sword 4 arms length, sgian-dubh 4 close quarters n dagger 4 in ur face, I'm good. - Arrow

They all tipped? - SB

Yew, Wolfsbane, Nighshade n Moonseed. - A

Woah. Not pulling ur punches, wot? Lol.. Don't nick the Balls with that! ;) - SB

There's no accounting for Faelan's flora n fauna, eh? N poison works. I'll give 'im a heads up but the Balls will just have to look after his own set when the swinging starts, ya?! - A
