He yawned and brought his arms behind him, looking out. He hadnt been to the pits in ages, and although he occasionaly heard the thundering of the ground opening up, he didnt even flinch. He'd been there once, and even found a portal. He never went through, but he always told himself if he managed to get down again, that he'd go through it to see what's going on. He saw a few animals going about and frolocking and just shook his head. The sight was almost repulsively girlish and he just laughed to himself.

She made sure her harness was secured tightly around her. It had been ages since she had done somethign this drastic and out of character. But she felt that after the stresses of the past year she needed a break. Even if it was for a few minutes. She didnt try and weasle her way back into the family. She just was there, staying just outside of the family circle. She couldn't force herself on them, it would just make things worse for her. She kept to herself mostly talking to Zora and Marcus and sometimes Iaraya. But most of the time she did her own thing and tried to help out around the house as much as she could. It didnt help much though, when everytime she turned a corner there was Hannibal and his son. Playing together or even with Arinna. She sighed and pulled tight on the rope that was tied to her harness. She stepped to the edge of the pitt, she looked down into it wondering if she would be able to make it out again. Slowly she got to the ground and sat on the edge. She looked into it then closed her eyes, "Whatever comes of this I sure hope they don't think I tried to kill myself."

He shifted slightly, feeling something going into his spine and he groaned. "Damn tree trunks." He shook his head, and yawned. He stood, and decided to go find another tree to sleep against, since this was one was giving him to much trouble. He made it past a few shrubs and stopped when he heard a familiar voice. He knew it was Nailana's, and from were he stood he could vaguely make out what she was doing. He shook his head thinking this had to be one of the most idiotic things he'd ever seen...and he'd done some stupid things himself. "Yeah, good luck with that, once the ground closes your ropes gonna snap." He shook his head again and just walked on his search for a tree.

She jumped slightly when she heard the familiar voice of Hannibal. It still sent chills of her spine and for a moment she smiled. But then she lost her grip and almost fell into the pitt. She hadn't planned on jumping in. Just repelling down a bit nad taking a look around. She opened her eyes and stood pulling the rope from its knot that hooked it to her harness and then looked around. She spotted him walking just a few yards ahead of her and she ran to catch up with him, "Whats your problem Slayer? Do you want me to die? Because I nearly fell into the pitt back there because your an idiot and have to sneak up on people."

He shrugged. "You're the dumbass that let your concentration fall. But at least my idiotic ass isnt as stupid as to go down a hole with a rope that's gonna snap, without knowing what was down there. So if you get killed, whose problem is that? Certainly aint mine, Princess." He kept moving and just shook his head, laughing to himself.

"You expect me to concentrate when your voice grates against my every nerve? No It's a bit hard to do. As for me going down into the pitt. The rope is strong I have checked it many times. I don't do things without checking the things I use multiple times. I've learned to only trust myself now a days. Besides you shouldnt care to much. It isn't like you'd miss me if I was gone. But lets look back on some Idiotic things you have done shall we? I'm sure there is a whole list ten miles long." She kept following him, not sure why she was angry at him. Maybe it was because even after having him ignore her for the better part of a year she still held out some hope that they would work it all out.

"The rope might have been strong when you checked it, but once the ground closes up, it snaps the rope, simple as that. I've seen it happen. And I'm sure there isnt some magic rope to even beat mother nature." He said irratibly. "Be my guess, tell me about all the idiotic things I've done. I'm sure I need reminding, seeing as 3 thousand years arent enough of a reminder. But please your Bitch Highness do me that service and tell me, since you seem to know everything." He huffed.

She lashed out at him and let her hand fly, hitting him hard against the shoulder, "Well I have escaped mother nature before Slayer." She glared at him bitterly, "No you see there is a difference in one thing King. I am not Dera, so I wont do that to you. I may be a bitch but you forget, teh source of my bitchiness lies with you now. So get used to it, I'm tired of being passive and just letting things go. You can push me away all you want, but I'll always come back. As for my knowing everything, I wish I did. Because it would probably save my sanity. Because whether I like it or not, I'm stuck with a family who pratically hates me. So your spared from your reminder Hannibal because like I said I am not Dera or my brother. I don't willingly point out a persons flaws."

He made a 'meowing' sound after the slap. "If only you had that anger during sex, would have made things ten times better." He rolled his eyes. "Great, glad you're not going to be passive, never suited you anyway. Aggressive, always liked that in my women." He finally found a tree he liked and sat down leaning back on it. He saw a rabbit come his way, and hi moved his hand, watching as the rabbit took on a lifeless way of being. "Go on and fight and eat that little snake over there." He watched the furry little thing run off and do exactly as it was told and he smiled to himself. "I'm not the one who tells the family what to do." He shrugged.

His comments only made her angrier she looked at him her eyes reflecting her anger and turning a deep red color, "And what in the hell does that have to do with things now? Besides you never fucking complained before, if it bothered you so much why didnt you just leave me like you did the rest?" She growled angrily at him, "No they don't listen to you but they sure go by your example alot. Why do I even fucking care about you?" She threw her hands up in the air and watched the rabbit. She had no idea how he had done it but she wasn't about to let the animal get away. She pulled the whip from around her waste and snapped it once before aiming it at the rabbit and flicking her wrist sent the end at it.

He shrugged. "Your point being? Never told them to act cold, if they do it, it's out of their own accord and I cant tell full grown adults what to do. Besides, they dont follow my example, I think the person they looked up to, more than me is the Queen of the Tower." He laughed to himself. "Answer your question, why DO you care about me?" He got silent and closed his eyes. He learnt to go to sleep when people were hysterical like this.

She grit her teeth, "Your so blind to your own effect. Yes Mae has alot to do with it. But have you ever thought that maybe she looks to you? You are her father or have you forgotten that tidbit again." She looked at him angrily and then kicked his foot when she saw him closing his eyes, 'Why do i care? Because damn it Hannibal despite every god damn thing I still fucking love you. Yeah I know I apprently fucked up, but you cant go on and blame that shit on me. Because whether you choose to believe it or not I did not have a kid with another man intentionally. I never fucking went out there and fuck someone else. I would think you'd have better faith in me then that. But I see you choose to hide behind your blind assumptions. And whether you like it or not this can only go on for so long. Because I refuse to stand here and pretend that I can take not being able to fucking touch you or anything. Because like I said I fuckign love your stupid ass."

He laughed. "Yeah, I completely forgot Maezyl is my daughter." He kept his eyes closed when he felt her kick as his foot. "But as you can see, she doesnt usually listen to me." He shrugged. "Actually, I can do what I want, Princess. And I'm doing this." He said coldly. "Glad someone loves my stupid ass, fitting since I still love your bitchy and annoying ass too." He grabbed at some dirt behind his hand. "You're right it can only go on for so long."

She looked at him and for a moment was completely stunned by his words. Then she came back to her senses and growled again through gritted teeth, "Could have fooled the hell out of me. But if this is where love gets me I can sure as hell live without it. Because it hurts way to damn much." She watched him a moment and then looked down, and slowly began to gather her whip back up, "I hate to be the one to be the one to do this Hannibal, but if this is the end of us tell me now so I can give up on my fools hope." She hated this, she hated feeling this way, and she hated to even think that things could be over between them. But she did not want to live with false hope. And as much as thathurt she knew that actually knowing it was over would hurt ten times more. Just thinkign about it brought those damnable tears to her eyes/

"It's my job to fool people." He just sat there listening to her, sighing to himself. Yeah he was angry but he loved her, but he also needed time. He opened his eyes slowly. "I never said it was over did I? Maybe this is the way I deal with things. But if you cant handle it..then maybe we should get a divorce...you shouldnt be forced to stay at a place where the majority of the people dont speak to you, or with a husband who ignores you because he's still hurt?" He stood up. If he had wanted for them to end he would have mentioned something, but always she made her assumptions about them and it angered him.
