Krull & Passion

Krull, in a passing comment to Passion while travelling through a tunnel system, "So what exactly did you use on your lover to get him out of here?"

"Ahh, a recall bean." Passion says nonchalantly.

Krull screws his face up in confusion "Right. But I thought teleportation didn't work down here."

Passion shrugs, "Well there's a chance it doesn't work. But seems to me it worked just fine. Cara's very frugal about handing them out - so I suppose maybe they're more powerful than a normal spell? I never really put much thought into it."

Krull responds, trying to not let the topic get brushed away, "Well you have what... two? How many does Cara have?"

"Mmm.. I have just the one now. Cara can't have but a couple more. They're for emergencies only. It's not like we have a supply or anything. I'm not even sure where she procured them."

"So ..." His ears twitch, "Why not use the second one now?"

Passion stops marching to star up at him in the darkness. "Cause that's not fair now is it? Leaving you all here in the death-dark, where probability says we should all be dead already." Her eyes are lit with passion through the dark.

Staring down, Krull retorts, "Life isn't fair, is it?" They hold a stare for a moment that one might perceive as anger, before a smile breaks out on Krull's face and he pats her head. "Thanks for staying in hell with us then."

She giggles, "Just tell me when it's time to jump ship."
