[You can tell he's real fucking mad because the Demon Voice is out. He wants to find Douman and rip his stupid jangly head off his bitchass shoulders. But that would be suicide alone, so for now he's going to put his attention on his daughter because now he fucking remembers and he knows she will too.]
Has he gone near you? Has he fucked with you? I swear to Christ I will flay his fuckin' skin off one sheet at a time if he has.
[ Oh, it's been years since she heard that voice. But that means he remembers too - there's only certain people who get that response.
Lapis, meanwhile, sounds terrible - there's a strain to her voice, a clear sign she's been crying. She feels sick, she feels like she wants to just rub her skin raw - how dare that man act like they're friends? After everything he's done to her. To everyone. ]
No. No, I haven't been near him since the Dark Hour. And he just acted like he didn't know me at all - [ There's another sob, a furious sound, before she gathers herself. ]
[Husk comes across as a bitter, grumpy old asshole... which he definitely is, but very few people actually earn genuine rage from him. But Douman? Douman earned that a hundred times over. He's seen how much damage that fucker has done to Lapis. How he snaked his twisted mindset into her, trying to undo everything Husk tried to instil into her- to make her a tool of the Order instead of her own damn person.
Oh, Husk hates Douman a great fucking deal.]
Same for me. Should have trusted my gut on that one, fuck. He's just been fuckin' living around us like a goddamn sleazeball this whole time. Probably getting off on it too, the fuckstick.
[He hears the sob in her voice and it only fuels his anger. The absolute fucker- how dare he come here and play with them like they were toys. He growl bubbles out of him.]
Don't you worry, we fuckin' will. [It might mean sealing or worse, but a part of it feels worth it. But-] We gotta be smart about it- no good racing right at him or we'll be fucked. But he's fuckin' done.
[And oh, will he enjoy ripping that shitheel's head off his shoulders. ]
...You need anything? You're not alone, right? [Does she need HIM?]
[ The small laugh is a sharp, bitter sound. She feels so... vile. Anixety and anger buzz under her skin, torn between sobbing and screaming, and the only thing that would make any of this better would be finally tearing that bastard apart. But he's right, doing it right now would be dangerous and the last thing she wants is for him to hurt anyone she cares about.
Even though she wants him to suffer after everything he did to her. After he hurt Rose - it was that bastard whose voice was in the labyrinth, it was him-! ]
He's not leaving the city alive. There's no way, not after this. Not after all of this.
[ It's a promise. She won't be content until she finally sees this nightmare put to rest. After he tried to mould her into something inhuman, after he tried to warp her into this "Goddess", she needs to see him die. She needs to know she's free, at least from him. ]
I'm at home with Jinwoo, but - [ She hesitates, about to say it's fine. But no, it's not fine. Husk has seen what he's done to her, seen the breakdowns and nightmares as his words seeped into her. So with her voice cracking again, she asks; ]
[He dislikes the laugh far, far more than he does the sob. He can almost feel her fraying at the edges and it makes him want to do anything to pull her back together again. He hates that they didn't know what was happening- that due to that they let that rancid fuckstain get anywhere near them again. This was an error from trickery- they will not be fooled again. ]
Damn fuckin' right he's not. He ain't even going back to the Order in a box. There won't be enough of him for that.
[They are going to obliterate him. For good. Husk has zero intention to let this fucker have the chance to mess with his kid ever again. He fucked up real well, having the audacity to show his face around her again. He doesn't get to exist anymore, it's just that simple.
He's seen so many of her breakdowns- sat with her through countless nightmares. He's expecting her to say she's fine, and he's prepared to call bullshit on that. Luckily she doesn't, so he lets out a slow exhale.]
Okay. I can come to you.
[He would always come to her- whenever she asked. ]
[ It's... becoming increasingly difficult to hold herself together. When she finally, finally had some glimpse of freedom, here's the man who will do his very best to pull her back in and make her bend to the Order's whims once more. To turn her into a weapon to give the Order more power.
Goddess, he called her, she remembers it now. It's a title that makes her skin crawl; she needs to not think about it, lest she have another breakdown again. She already almost broke her phone earlier. ]
Thank you. [ Knowing that he'll see her really does fill her with relief, some of the tension in her tone leaving her. She's still in a terrible state, but knowing he'll be here is a relief... ]
The door will be locked, so just... let me know when you're here.
[Husk feels it's always going to be this way. Hell, even if they had got out, there would always be the threat of being caught again. Elliot and Jusis' kid got out and now look where that got him. Eunie and Zhongli live under constant threat of the Order reaching out and grabbing them by the ankles, pulling them back. No, the only way out of this is if the whole damn Order is removed from the equation- and he's only partly convinced they can even manage that.
He's already out of his apartment, taking to the wing to get to her place quicker. Because all he wants to do right now his pull her into his arms and let her get through the horrific feeling she's experiencing right now. To help her ride it out until she feels halfway normal again. ]
Don't mention it.
[And he means that. This is his JOB. Probably the most important one he has. It doesn't take long until he gets there, the fires off a quick text to let her know he's there- then knocks on her door in a strange off-rhythm beat. Something to show it's really him. ]
[ As she waits for Husk, there's a horrible surge of anxiety - what if Douman finds him first? What if something happens? At this point she wouldn't put it past the jester to try something, especially since they all remember. But Husk can take care of himself, so she shouldn't worry - he'll be fine.
But that does nothing to soothe her nerves.
Every minute feels like it drags on forever, but she forces herself not to panic or pace. He'll be fine, he'll be fine, he has to be-
- The knock makes her jump, having not noticed the text at first. But a quick glance at her phone reassures her, and she's quick to unlock the door and open it, the sight of her father immediately filling her with relief. He's okay, of course he is, but the worry was there. ]
Hi, I'm... glad you're here.
[ And it's like something just... snaps, the moment the door closes behind him. The fear, worry, panic, anger - it feels like everything just boils over, tears filling her eyes as her breath leaves her in a harsh sob. A hand quickly covering her mouth as if that will hide anything, even as the tears fall heavy from her eyes; shoulders shaking from the force of her cries, tremors working through her.
Lapis had been so desperately trying to hold onto the last, fraying threads of her composure but now it's all splitting apart. Now that one of the people she trusted the moment is here, there's no need to try to hold it all back. ]
[Husk knew a break would come eventually. He's honestly glad to see it happen- Lapis needs it, or the stress will just build and build and will result in her breaking in a worse place than in the safety of her own home. Better now than then. ]
Hey. Stop that.
[His tone is gruff as ever- but he pulls her in for a hug, wrapping his wings around her as he does so, giving her that shelter from the world and all the bullshit it currently contains. That old, familiar comfort that he hopes might ground her. One hand brushes the back of her head, in slow, gentle motions for such huge, clawed things.]
You don't got shit to apologise for. That scrublord fucked with you plenty- and then had the fuckin' call to pretend he was someone else to get close to you again. I'd be more worried if you weren't upset about this. He wanted you to shut your goddamn emotions away, so don't give him the fuckin' satisfaction by feeling guilty for having them now. Fuck him. Feel what you gotta feel, Kiddo. I'm here.
