Break?

Yes, Emily?

Guess what I found?

What did you find?

A treasure map! A treasure map!

Treasure? My, my- what does it say.

I don't know! I can't read it.

Well, I can't read it either. How are we going to find the treasure, then?

Maybe we can ask someone to help?

A treasure map, hm?

[Lucifer: all bloody and sticky, but at least he's not homocidal now. Well not really.]

Damn it, Lucifer!

[thelightbringer]

[He just smirks and walks over; his shoes are leaving sticky, bloody footprints, but Break probably won't notice them till well after he's gone.]

Watch your mouth, Xerxes.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Don't sneak up on the blind.

[thelightbringer]

You're not helpless.

[He eyes Emily, then Break.]

Lightening the hearts of the children?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

They could use a little bit of an adventure.

[thelightbringer]

I can't argue that. Is there a leprechaun at the end of this rainbow?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

No, no, no.

[Handwaving.]

If you want to volunteer a prize-

[thelightbringer]

That depends on what they have to do to win it.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Tasks, tricks, hunts-

[thelightbringer]

[He hums thoughtfully, but gestures in a way that's dismissive and apologetic.]

I don't have a penny to my name, Xerxes.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you can make things, can't you?

[thelightbringer]

I could....

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Wonderful!

[thelightbringer]

[He holds up a hand, index finger tapping Break's chin and leaving a little red fingerprint]

Give me a reason.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I amuse you.

[thelightbringer]

Yes, you do.

I'm afraid you can't offer something you already give.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I don't have time to bargain, my dear. I already have a fairly good ending planned- you're invited to be a part of it, if you're bored. If not, I've really got to be running.

[thelightbringer]

And I'm not interested in sharing my talents with people who want me dead, so-- go.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'll see you soon.

[And off he goes, with a hop skip and a jump.]
