Ofelia looked down at her phone, wondering exactly she just did. After the adventure she had with Before and Harrison there really wasn't a reason to see either one of them any time soon, Harrison probably was growing sick of her anyway because of seeing her too often, yet for some reason she'd found herself messaging Before without even thinking twice.
Why was he bald?
She was...really curious about that, to be honest. Maybe she should have specified that.Huni Pi Text to Before: how hurt are you wanna go on an adventure with me

Before had taken to brushing his hand against his phone every so often. After that experience in the Labs, he suspected the possibility of being called for backup. When his phone did alert him of a message, he wasn't expecting the two-character greeting from Ofelia of all people.
He quirked a non-existent brow at the message, about to type in an equally short response when another message came in. Thinking it more important, Before opened that and saw it was still Ofelia. Only this time he got a better idea of what she wanted.Rown Yeah, got patched up right. Adventuring? Sure. Where to?

Well crap, Ofelia actually hadn't thought that far ahead. She just wanted to hang out with someone she knew, someone she also knew wouldn't try to bite her head off, so Before had come up without her even thinking about it. Rue sighed.
You have issues. Why not walk to the dorms or something, or maybe the training grounds? There are dozens of places for you to go and get both of you killed at hick so stop being retarded and respond. The boo hag yawned inside the trainee's head, clearly bored and doing her best to show it. Lately she'd been singing instead of screaming, yawning instead of constantly berating Ofelia. The teen was starting to wonder if someone was wrong but she didn't want to think it too hard - Rue could and would read her mind and then give her a blistering unlike anything else.
Seemingly taking this advice to heart Ofelia opened her phone and texted back.Huni Pi Text to Before: just wanted to see you so anywhere is good
. . . man she felt awkward.

Rown Text to OfeliaAh. Is coo~ Meet up at the exit point.
Y-yeaaaah, totes is but. She did save my a** with that werewolf thing the other time. 'Sides. Maybe she mellowed out some since then? Before sounded hopeful as he made his way to the meeting point. He heard his partner sigh, could even see the devil shield shaking her face in disappointment.
I supposed she hasn't done anything that would merit her becoming irrelevant.
Before beamed, ignoring the weird stares from the hunters he'd passed. Hopefully they'd figure out he was having a conversation with his partner and not suggest he go visit Killzone or Sunny for some therapy.

Ofelia was mildly pacing when Before showed up, not because she was nervous but because she wasn't even sure this was a good idea. The incident with Rep had given her plenty of time to think on things, like how she didn't need to be risking her life and running her mouth, and it also made her think about all the times in the past that she'd been reckless. Overall she. . .well, she had no reason to still be alive after all the danger she'd put herself and others in.
Like Before, she messed up during that mission right? The one he had to drag her away from because she was too excited and didn't want to stop there? If it hadn't been for him she would have gotten everyone killed, so eager to fight. He had every right to hate her for that yet someone he had texted her asking for help. She'd come, she'd helped, but still somehow made a mess of things. Ofelia really was useless with a death wish and she was starting to regret asking Before to come along.
In fact she was about to pull her phone out and send him a message not to come when she looked up and there he was. "O . . .oh. H. . .hi." Her words were soft, not her usual loud way of speaking. Her bottom lip was red and puffy, fresh with bite wounds, and her eyes were red as well. "Ah..um. . . didn' really think ya would be comin'."
Stupid, stupid. He'd sent her a text, she had no reason not to believe.

 Before's reaction to Ofelia's greeting was pretty much to look like a very wounded and upset little pony. Only bald. Okay that didn't have the intended effect but, "Why wouldn't I show up? This place ain't really good for ding-dong-ditch. 'Sides, we gotta clear up top up if we wanna get things back to normal, yeah?" he canted his head as he motioned to their exit. "So. Your place or mine?" Was that his attempt at lightening the mood?

"Eh?! " Ofelia's face turned red because that was not what she had been expecting him to say. Also. . . "What's ding-dong-ditch? Some kinda. . . game thing? Wait, nevermind, ya dun have ta tell me. Yer room's probably the closest ta here ta start wit', why dun we go there first mmkay?" Ofelia was stammering and she turned, marching back towards the entrance. She didn't mean to make Before look upset, she was also doing her best not to stare at his bald head. Also in a way she didn't want him to see her busted lip too clearly, or the fact that she'd been sobbing her eyes out earlier. A girl had to have some pride, right?
"Thanks...fer agreein' ta come wit' me. Ah know before Ah haven' been much us ta ya."

With the voices gone by this point, he was less testy and suspicious. Missing hair vis a vis a busted lip, whatever injury they've sustained, the trainees had better days, Before was sure of that. "Heh, if we're talking about not being of any use, you came to the right guy." Before pointed to himself with his thumb, puffing his chest up in faux pride because that was so not something to be proud of. "When you've been awake as long as I have and have jack s**t to show for it, then you can say you ain't been much use to me."

"No Ah...was the one who nearly got us killed when Ah forced ya ta take me wit'cha that time." Ofelia hadn't forgotten - in fact she had been thinking about it just before he walked up. "An' then back in the labs, if Harrison hadn' been there. . . "
Why was she sounding so negative? It wasn't like her to not be a ray of sunshine, so she tapped herself on her eyepatch and looked back at Before, a forced smile on her face. "Sorry, gettin' all kinds'a depressin' here. Whatcha wanna get from yer room?"

The Misty sighed as the Sunny went on about her mistakes. Far be it for him to tell someone not to wallow in self-pity, that wasn't his thing or his job. The best he could ever hope to do was maybe segue to some other topic. "Not gonna tell you otherwise about the Alaska Mission. As grateful as I am that you two were there to fend those crazed dogs, it doesn't change the fact that you totes forced yourself on the mission." He stared at Ofelia pointedly, "But I accept your apology and hope you learn to curb that enthusiasm of yours. However, that particular lesson had to be beaten into me and sometimes I ain't sure it's really sunk." He offered her an encouraging smile.
However, he never got to continue when something darted at his feet, sinking claws and knocking him off balance. He pitched forward, flailing his arms and landed flat on his face.

All it took was for Ofelia to summon Rue and then she smashed the creature into the wall. The blades of her weapon left three neat little marks near someone's door jam, she hoped no one would care by the time everyone got back, so instead of dismissing her weapon she just let Rue hand out. It wasn't like she was heavy and it would be a pain to keep summoning and sending her away.
"Are ya okay?" Her concern was genuine but she shook it off, already aware of how she tried people's nerves. This was a bad idea, asking someone to come along, but she wanted to see him for some stupid reason or another. Just...like she'd wanted to see Rep, apparently. Hopefully this encounter would end less painfully. Rue snickered in her head. "An' yeah Ah know Ah forced mahself but that part Ah dun regret doin'. It was fun ta go back, ta see snow. Ah was born an' raised in places that never got snow. Not naturally anyway."

Before rubbed his face while he got to his feet, scanning for any signs of the thing that sent him toppling. Oh. There it was. Or what was left of it. He glanced towards the Sunny, giving her a smile, "Heh, I'm okay. My pride's a bit banged up, though." If Ofelia was expecting a snarl or an insult from the Misty, well, she was going to be disappointed. Showing concern for a job-related injury was always welcomed, provided they never approached "bad touch" territory. Somehow, that didn't seem like it was going to be a problem with him and Ofelia.
"It was good you were there at Alaska and that you showed up at the Labs. You're a Sunny and opening a can of whoop-a** is your division's job. So thank you for that." He paused to chuckle, "Snow's okay but not that much." And in the same breath he summoned Vanna just in case more of those critters were lurking about.Rown 8CCCC I AM SO SORRY!

Ofelia had no reason to snark at Before, she rather liked his company. And to hear him say that he was thankful she was there sort of set her at ease. Until the dead hunter showed up and Ofelia basically slapped herself with a palm to her forehead. "Jus' how many freakin' dead hunters can there be in the dorms?! Seriously people, die elsewhere." Ofelia took a few steps, put herself into poisition, and then launched at the monster. She got two strong swipes of her weapon against its flesh, pleased to find that her flip flops were some kind of an awesome good luck charm after all.
That was, of course, until the monster knocked her back and into the wall. She staggered but stayed on her feet, ready for more. "We can do this! Ah'll support ya the best Ah can, so dun give up!"

8CCC "Th-that's not a very nice thing to say about a fallen comrade, Offie," Before chided and left it at that. While the thing that assaulted them and sent Before sprawling did use to be a fellow Hunter, it was important he remembered the keywords: Use To Be. Now it was an abomination that needed to be put down.
"We'll support each other best as we can," Before nodded, getting back to his feet to charge, throwing his weight in the blow as he slammed the large wheel's broadside into the creature.

"Ah was mostly talkin' 'bout their crazy weapons, not the person in general. . . . though Ah'm sorry. Ah will not say anythin' again." Ofelia was going to have to watch her tone, watch everything. She didn't want one more person to dislike her, one more person to make her feel horrible at Deus and want her to crawl off and die somewhere. No more secrets, no more tears. She would listen, she would obey.
You will use me, you will forget everything else, and you will rend this thing asunder the next time you hit. Rue kicked Ofelia in her mind after the teen took a bug bite at the monster only to be kicked back even further. It was starting to hurt, not enough to make her stop, but she looked to Before and tried to muster a smile again. She wasn't going to give up, they were going to take this thing down together.
When Before said he'd support her, that also helped her feel somewhat better? It was ridiculous how worked up she was getting right now. "Okay, Rue's fully charged an' ready!"
