Torrent uncharacteristically held back his usual response about how Turfing was everything to him, about how he had given up his easy more promising future to pursue the uncertain path of wanting to become a professional player. This house was unnerving him, and he felt almost superstitious that if he spoke too loudly of such familiar things in these rooms he would invoke some kind of wrath upon them. Instead, he replied with a chuckle, "Let's just say, I would give up anything for turf wars." He finished patching up Aria and stood, cleaning up the scraps of paper from used bandages and the like. "And as fer what I was doin' back there, well....we all have our secrets, don't we?" He said with a playful wink. In truth he had been doing his usual information rounds, but nothing new had been reported. Where'd ye go, mate? Torrent thought uneasily.
Torrent put the kit back where he had found it then returned to the living room and clapped his hands together. "Alright. Now that that's been taken care of; how're ye both feeling?"

"It's nice of you to say so, and you shouldn't feel too bad either." Jackson said to Aria. "It's been said millions of times before, but we DO all make mistakes." He touched his bandage. Couldn't have done better even if I tried. He smiled and watched Torrent latch up Aria.
"I'm feeling actually fine now," Jackson said with a bit of a self-chiding smirk. He gulped down the painkiller with his bottled water and stood up to feel his leg. Wow. "you really did an S+ job, Torrent! I didn't think anyone could made a bandage feel so... so... comfy."

"Turf Wars sounds amazing." Aria smiled softly up at Torrent, "Thanks for the patch job!"
She peered more at the dusty linings of the house, faded paint showed signs of pictures once hanging on the wall and sheets covering furniture to prevent dust from coating the hidden seats. Looking over, she eyed Torrent closely, his eyes never focused on something for long and he not once sat down, his hands occasionally jerking up to shake his hair.
"Are you alright, Torrent? You look...jumpy."

"Ahaha, well, when ye've got as many scars as I've got, ye learn how to tie a good bandage." Torrent laughed, a bit nervously at Jackson's compliment. He was glad to see his handiwork had sufficed for both of them, and they would soon be moving on again. But while he waited, his hands twitched nervously. He crossed his arms and tapping his fingers on his arm, his hands went up to smooth over and tug at his tied-up tentacles. He jumped when Aria questioned his nervousness. "H-huh?" He asked, the surprise causing his voice to go a pitch higher than usual. He cleared his throat, embarrassed. "A-ah. Thanks fer yer concern, but I'll be fine." He paused. "But...the sooner we get a move on the happier I'll be, I wont lie."

Torrent seemed kinda unnerved at that moment, which in turn made Jackson a bit unnerved. He felt like he should be feeling like he was being watched... or whatever Torrent was feeling. I don't think squids like him get uneasy for no reason... When Torrent suggested they take an exit, Jackson was all for the idea. "I think you're right. We really should be... getting back... I mean going soon." He felt a shiver. Yes, something around this place is definitely giving me the creeps.

Oblivious to the sudden anxiety the house had caused, Aria rose from her seat, testing her bandaged legs. Only a slight stinging was left, but she felt fine otherwise.
"I agree. It's also getting kinda late outside anyway," she gestured to the grimy window, the sun sinking lower behind the distant buildings in Daggertooth, painting the town in an orange glow.
"Do you think you can stand, Jackson?"
((Sorry, short post))

"Mmm? Oh--oh yeah, totally. Torrent did a really good job, and I got a chance to recuperate." Running might be hard he thought. Though he didn't say it. He smiled, though he wished he could just Super Jump out of the area. His leg would explode or something if he were to try that, but this place was getting spookier by the minute, and he didn't want to see what came out at night...

Torrent seemed relieved that the two were feeling a bit better. He turned to Jackson "Ye just better not go on and push yerself too hard, otherwise that cut'll hurt like hell. I'll also tell ye t' go t' a proper doctor once yer back t' yer houses." This time he also looked at Aria. With that, he stood up and walked back over to the door and opened it slightly, glancing around outside to make sure they weren't being watched or followed, and once he was satisfied opened the door and helped Jackson and Aria outside before he shut the door firmly and locked it again. No one seemed to have noticed they had been there. Which was good. He felt a weight lifted from him a bit as he left the house and he walked a bit ahead of Jackson and Aria, not noticing the old mailbox with the names "Torrent" and "Jackal" painted on the side they passed on their way out of the yard.

Aria glanced at the rusty mailbox, the names painted on the side were hard to make out, but it looked like Torrent's name and...someone else. The paint was too faded to make out clearly. She nudged Jackson lightly with her elbow and pointed to the mailbox. She was afraid to speak up in case she awakened old ghosts that had been put to rest for a long time.
With a flick of her wrist eyebrows, Aria looked at Jackson and shrugged her shoulders. Was this his old house? Did something happen to him?

Jackson shrugged right back and gave a look. I have no idea what you're trying to say to me. Though he did notice the mailbox, faded, with two names on it. Though only Torrent's was readable. He must've used to live here... I guess there maybe was something spooking him. I'm sure it's best left alone. Then he nudged Aria about the sign... and for some reason he got a sense of pseudo-dêja vu.

((sorry for the long time replying, college has been kicking my butt too))
The further and further the house was put behind them, the more and more Torrent relaxed. He stuck close to Aria and Jackson, making sure he didn't lose them or have them possibly fall prey to more of the unsavory characters in this area. he scratched the back of his neck somewhat awkwardly before asking, "So, ye two doin' alright? Not hurtin'?"

((I hear college is pretty bad. I'm getting closer to it at a terrifyingly slow pace each day...))
As Torrent seemed to relax, Jackson got a bit more on-edge. He saw hordes of dangerous-looking people all around him, and with Torrent relaxed they could all fall prey to one of the creatures if they caught him off-guard. Well, not creatures. They're people... but man they're scary-looking... and I'm sure Torrent knows enough to not just drop his guard like that. Then he heard Torrent call him out from his thoughts. "So, ye two doin' alright? Not hurtin'?" "Yeah, I'm fine. Might not be able to Turf for a few days but I'm fine." Jackson responded. Though he never really thought of not being able to play Turf War... it was part of his daily routine, practically. He wondered what he'd do with the time... Well, he wold be wondering if he wasn't all spooked by the neighborhood. Why does it feel like everyone's giving me the stink-eye around here...

((College isn't THAT bad, but it's a lot of work :'D ))
Aria kicked small pebbles as she walked, watching them bounce far in front of her. Her ears pricked up at Torrent's question.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine! Those guys didn't rough me up as bad as it looks." She smirked, "and Jackson, if you need a rest from Turfing, you can always hang out at my shop!" She winked.
When the group was far enough from the house, Aria looked up at Torrent curiously.
"So," she began, "I hope you don't mind that I ask, but was that your old house back there?" The woman knit her eyebrows together in concern.

Torrent stiffened slightly when Aria asked if that had been his old house. He'd hoped that maybe it wouldn't be that obvious, but obviously that wasn't the case. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Ehh...yeah...s'ppose ye could say that." Torrent muttered somewhat hurriedly. "Ah! Well, wouldjya lookit that. I think I can see a sign that says Bluefin Depot just up ahead! We must be gettin' outta Daggertooth." Torrent said, not very subtly trying to change the subject.
