[ Cain clutches at his chest, fingers curling into his shirt as he loud gasps along with Leanne. It's true, he did find the bones! He did touch them! He's (not) cursed!
Cain lowers his head, like he's so overcome with the horror that he can't take it any longer.
And then he starts laughing. Low, sinister, the sound filling the skull's confines. ]
Ha ha... Ha ha ha ha! So you noticed. [ He looks up and holds his hand out, the fingers curved into claw shapes. ] And now I'm here among you, the wolf among the sheep! And as soon as I touch you, it'll be in you, too!
[ So she noticed! And of course Leanne continues the charade by acting surprised, but it appears that another one in their small group was beginning to scramble back in shock. There's a shriek from beside her and she notices that a man has flat out fainted and the remainder leaving the skull as quickly as they can.
All that's left is Cain, Leanne, and a fainted man. ]
... So, that was fun, but we probably went a bit too far.
[ Cain, too, finds himself staring at the man who's just flat out fainted. Huh. He leans over and nudges the man's shoulder, but the man doesn't budge.
...was the story really that scary?
Slowly, sheepishly, he turns to look at Leanne. ]
Ah... Maybe a little? We should probably apologize.
[ She blames him for playing the role that had put together quickly so well. ]
That's if they bother coming back, but sure. [ She grins, there appears to be something mischievous in her tone of voice despite being so accepting to apologize. ] Next time you wanna tell a scary story you need to at least plan it out with me first~
[ Next time. He brightens, giving Leanne a grin. It feels conspiratory, a bit mischievous, but more than that... like they're partners, and not just in the crime of scaring their fellow travelers.
It's a nice feeling, that there's someone he can count on, and someone he can support in turn, even for something as silly and inconsequential as this. ]
In that case, we'll have to outdo ourselves. No one even screamed.
[ They just ran out in terror with a few yelps, but no screams. ]
[ Well they have their root babies so yeah... they're partners.
Writing that sentence physically pained me. But in light of that Leanne, too, finds a familiar, comforting feeling of trust when around Cain, so even if they caused a few people to be frightened by their false story telling she remains happy at his side. ]
What are you, a sadist? [ She's literally been called that before. ] We'll just have to practice some more.
