008 | What lurks in the dark.

Duo sat on his couch, thankful for the sliders on the legs of it. It took him some effort, but he finally had a nice piece of his property from back in the hanger, complete and in piece except for a tear in one of the pillows. Oh well.

So he sat there, hand against his chin as he watched the rest of the room, watching for Harth. He wanted to see that little runt just to see exactly who he was dealing with. After about an hour of sitting and waiting, drawing with some chalk on the wall he'd pushed the couch against, he saw him. They met eyes briefly and Duo forced himself to have a straight face, deliberately shrugging at the boy who seemed intent to look at him. Look at him like he was his next meal.

Well, there was gonna be none of that.

But as far as who he was, Harth wasn't showing signs of being one of the undead, so once the man went outside into the hot and humid sun he relaxed, laying against the armrest of his couch.

"We're boned... Goddamn... Someone get me outta here."

"Maybe she's under one of his magic spells." Duo scoffs, shaking his head and speaking with a bitterness reserved for only the worst that the universe had to offer.

That was a problem then. They needed Toph to be a part of this and if she really was under his spell, it would make everything more complicated.

"We'll break her of it."

Heero headed for the door, deciding that he needed another quick look around before he could come up with a better plan to deal with Harth. As far as the vampire knew he didn't know he knew, so he could feign that strained acquaintanceship they had going. But he wasn't going anywhere alone with him again.

Duo moved to stand, following Heero to the door and leaning against the door frame once Heero left.

"I'll talk to Sokka and Quatre. Could you go make that wish on the fountain?" Duo said, looking either way. Wonder if Sokka would even believe him?

[stoicperfection]

"Yeah, I can." He replied, looking back at Duo while he leaned against the door. The man looked so run down.

"Take care of yourself too." Don't just talk to the two of them Duo.
