Melvin wanted nothing more than to put as much distance between him and the Infirmary tent as possible. There was no going back to Deus, and staying in the camp so soon after airing out their dirty laundry was not something he wanted to endure else he would wind up snapping a few necks. His eyes were set on the jungle but with horsemen about, the buddy system was even more important. Thing was his "buddies" were now covered in lube.
He went for familiar now and as he walked towards the camp perimeter, he spotted Mik and Melody hanging out. Not hesitating, he grabbed both their wrists and dragged them with him. "Come with me. We're patrolling."

Mik had been contentedly watching the fighting and been 100 percent not getting involved in it, so when Melvin seized his wrist he wasn't too bothered, quite happy to be taken off to something more exciting.
"YAY PATROLLING." he said brightly. He wasn't even bothered that it was Melvin who he was normally a bit tetchy about at the best of times.
This might have been because he was listening in on things, but no one could prove anything with him.

Melody also had been spying on the entire incident along with Mik. Unlike him however, being grabbed and dragged after witnessing such a thing made her nervous. "P-patrolling? What for?" Their early demise, she'd mentally added with quiet determination.
She was fine with being a snoop up until she got pulled into it, though she didn't fight Melvin and simply tried to keep up with her arm.

"To make sure there aren't any horsemen lingering too close to camp." He cleared up for Melody who seemed way more reisisrsnt to go with him. "And because I don't want to start snapping limbs off my fellow hunters." He added a sense he was sure they must have heard something.
"I can't walk out alone. Hell if anyone would save me now if I got jumped."

Mikael seemed downright cheery, this was nothing much special for the blonde hunter but it was slightly out of place given that just a short time before he'd been a little in dread of what might happen and upset by the fighting.
"Yay finding the horses!" he also exclaimed, before turning his deep blue eyes on Melvin and adding.
"It's good that you aren't with my dad any more." He didn't seem to have a problem with admitting that he'd been listening in on their conversation and had made his own assumptions about what he'd heard. "He's not nice. You are nice."

"Awww... Melvin. We would save you," Melody commented with a genuine frown. While all the gossip and drama was quite juicy. This was still a roommate and friend and he was clearly in pain.
She looked at Mik with widened eyes and tried to mime at him to shush by placing the index finger of her free hand in front of her puckered lips. No sense in adding gas to the fire and she did not want to lose her hand thank-you-very-much-mik.

"I'm still with your dad, Mik. Just because he says something doesn't make it true. I learned that many times. He changes his damn mind whenever he gets curious or some dumb idea about what he wants. This isn't any different. He changes his script and with how he is, it's just ridiculous."
His focus has been on the jungle but he had to look at Melody shushing Mik. "And I'm not a nice person. I'm messed up. Why else would I live in the cornucopia of crazy that is Lawr's house?"

Mik gave Melody a momentary stare that wasn't too far off of the blank indifferent stares Lawrence was capable of when dealing with someone with nothing fancy to offer him. His smile stayed though. He turned back to Melvin, clearly either not understanding or ignoring the warning.
"That's gross." he said. "I don't know why you even want it to be fake." and shook his head.
He did however give Melvin a slightly offended gasp for his comment before going on. "...what's a cornucopia?"

Melody also gasped but she knew what cornucopia meant, well, sort of. "Hey! Speak for yourself in the crazy department. I'm perfectly sane."
Well. Not that sane really. She was allowing herself to be led into a dangerous jungle full of horsemen by a love scorned man whom stated himself he was about to maim someone.

"Your dad screws people left and right. I thought you'd be a bit more indifferent at this point. And I don't want it to be fake. Fake Ian saying it's something when it's not. I never said that. It's - why do you care? I don't even see you mess around with anymore."
He didn't want to talk relationships with someone who didn't have some experience to voice an opinion.
"A cornucopia is the wicker horn you see during Thanksgiving centerpieces filled with food. Kinda turns up at the point like.." He gestured up before noticing his gloves were stained with lube and decided to take them off.
"You're nuts for staying in that house. He's just pulled you into his weird family he is trying to create. I guess if it wasn't Rodney, he might be after you."

Mikael made a face. "If he does that why do you still stay? You are better! More good. Than that." He sighed. "And I don't mess because I like the house, I have a room. That is important."
It wasn't often people managed to corner Mikael into a conversation and it was odd that the more and more one talked to him that the more coherent and aware he seemed to be.
He glanced at Melody. "I think that's why he brought you." he said to her, agreeing with Melvin.

"He already said he was pursuing me... In that way. Operative word; was. He isn't interested." Melody seemed to be in thought for a moment before frowning deeply. "Actually, I thought he only was honest about that because of you," she glanced at Melvin and then at Mik.
"And you aren't supposed to agree with him against my sanity," she teased.

"Was can change back. Who the hell knows."
He sighed as he took off his glasses to rub at his eyes. "I mean the that you don't get it because you two don't seem like you'ce been in a lot of relationships before. It's like getting advice from a baker about scuba diving."
He placed on his glasses once more. "I stay because I like your dad a lot. You spend a few years with a person - even through all the lies and s**t your still on this rock and part of the times you can see an actual person and sorta get it cause you're right on board too and -" He sighed at his own frustration, talking more in front of him as gen spoke than to them directly. "- and it's hard not to and while I know how he is, I can't help what I want even if what I want is a serious a*****e who thinks playing make believe at my expense is no big, ******** deal. And with the most meekest person - how the hell is he going to protect him? The guy flinches when you turn around too quickly!!"
Melvin might have lost the conversation.

Mikael once again gave Melody that odd look. "..I guess he told you that." he said before seeming to decide this was sarcastic enough that he added with a bright smile. "I believe you though, even if I don't know why you stay, I bet you could get a nice house."
He listened to Melvin with a patient intentness. "You like him cause he's all you've known." he said. He didn't say anything about how it was the same for him he wanted a father in much the same way Melvin wanted something other than what Lawrence was.
"Rodney is nice." he said, seeming to skip over what that meant.
But seeming to loop back on the first thing Melvin had said, he frowned a little. "I haven't ever had sex." he said. "But I know some things."

"Well I'm not interested in him like that," she gave Mik a confused looking shrug. The look he was giving her felt strange but not strange enough to comment on. She looked back at Melvin, "Hey you grabbed us. You could have told him all that but instead you made us your audience."
"There's a reason?" She asked before looking back at Mik. "No I can't. These are the best accommodations I can afford and honestly... I like that there is constant...." She clenched and unclenched her hands while she seemed to slip deep in thought for a moment before moving normal again. "There's always something. I like that. It is almost like being home again."
She gasped in surprise as Mik confirmed his virginity to the group. Not surprised that he was, but surprised he came out with it. She started to turn a little pink with embarrassment at the subject.
