I tried my best to.. ainβt easy fer olβ Hol Horse to sleep like a baby, these days. ( He remarks this as he presses a hand against that curvy frame of hers. ) You look like you slept mighty finely though, princess.
Bathroom to brush her teeth, clean her face, and fix her hair. She always hated looking messy in the morning. When she walks downstairs, Illuso goes right to Holβs side and kisses him ] Morning, handsome. Did you sleep good?
Hol finds himself sifting through the pages of the morning paper, listlessly.. a drag of a cigar in the morning offsetting his boredom. It was a day like any other, but it shone a little less bright for now.. @reflectangel.bsky.social wasn't up yet.
Would you believe me if I said I had a job
so damn pretty.. yet so damn annoyinβ.π’
The life of a vagabond ainβt much betterβ but I bet itβs all the sweeter with you. ( beckoning her forward. ) Come on, naβ.. letβs get a move on.
Iβll run until my lungs give out and until the world around me falls into Hell. Youβre the only one giving me a real reason to flee this shitty life. I love you more than I fear the boss
Run we shall, baby. βTil the soles of these boots wear out and this heart stops beatinβ, Iβll run. ( He lifts Illusoβs gaze towards his, before planting a kiss upon her lips. ) .. and as long as I breathe, Iβll keep runninβ with you.
I feel so safe with you, caro mio. Like youβre the only man I can truly trust. [ her heart is racing as she blushes ] Letβs run, Holsie. Even if we have to go to the end of the earth, I want it to be with you.
Olβ Hol Horse ainβt a stranger to runninβ away from bosses. All these years.. you can bet yer bottom dollar I know how to make a sweet escape. ( He holds her close, looking down unto her with intention. ) Weβre safe and sound, you βnβ I.. weβre an invincible duo. Promise
Reallyβ¦.? Oh, Hol Horse that sounds amazing. [ looking around nervously ] Iβd have to be careful to get away from the boss. If we can get out of Italy, weβre safe.
Lord.. how could I say no to this..? ( he sighs a bit, a chuckle in tow. ) Fine. You want out? You can run witβ me.. be an investigator, βfsorts.
You gotta help me, Holsie. Youβre the only man who treats me right [ squishing her chest against him ]
Well, whatever are we gonβ do about that? [ Grinning. He could likely find her some work.. ]
I dont wanna work for him anymore π¨ [ clinging to Hol Horse ]
say.. ya ever reckon that youβll settle down, one day? with a special someone?
stolen π€
the constant struggle between wanting to let him hit it raw and running away in the woods never to be seen again .
I once drank 12 bottles of Jack Danielβs to prove a point
