1x1 Kim and Shade RP (+Hush)

((Ooh yeah that too. I don't think Shade will have too much of a problem with that he trusts Spade pretty well))


When everything was said and done they would get back into The SUV with the windows blacked out. But this time it was getting late into the evening where the sun was nearly about set. “I’m going to drop you off in an alleyway not far from Kim’s place just in case someone followed I don’t suppose you could turn into someone or something they could help you get home without being seen? I can’t express how important it is that you do not go out in public alone until his trial is done. “
He would let the boy out of the car and leave him to his own devices so once he was gone but wearing this and exhaustion was really taking its cold. He needed to head home himself but likewise had to go about some crazy methods to do so and he realize his family could also be in danger people like these were Target anyone for multiple reasons such as revenge or to stop the trial. Though in truth he didn’t see much of a point because even without anyone’s testimony there was quite a bit of damaging evidence, but a skillful lawyer might be able to turn a lot of it on its head. You can think about that now they were going to win this and these people were going to be put away for a long time. So he himself was against the death penalty there was a few individuals involved in this but he was pretty eager to push for it.

Kim back at the house I’m going to take a shower mostly because she got emotional again and it was the only way she can easily hide it. She went through a wide range of emotions from crying and throwing up to just sitting in the tub letting the now cold water run over her. Perhaps she had lived in a somewhat bubble, because she had believe that what happened to her parents was a rare occurrence and that there really weren’t that many bad people in the world.
But learning about this but there were so many, it was sobering and sickening.
Shade would have been grateful for the judge's kindness and patience and hopefully he eventually showed it. He would definitely thank the elderly man on the way out and he would also thank Spade when everything else was done. He nodded along as Spade said it was a good idea to try and get home in a way that meant he couldn't be followed. And so when he was dropped off at the alley he quickly ducked around the corner and turned into a rat to scurry through a random crack in the fence that no human would be able to follow him through. He then went a little further, ducked behind a garbage can and transformed into a bat where he flapped his wings and took to the air to return to Kim's place. One could say he was taking the try not to be followed thing very seriously.
Finally he arrived back at Kim's and hopefully there living room window was open for him which he just flew through and then finally shifted back into himself. Hush would be thereto greet him but would Kim?

Eventually she lifted her self in the tub drug a comb through her now dry hair thanks to how long she spent in there and moved to walk out of the bathroom presumably shade was still in the room her eyes widening. “You’re back!“ She wanted to run and look him over but she froze stiffening. “Are you all right?” She looked around the room as of expecting to see the detective as well.
In the time it took for Kim to come out of the bathroom Hush had ran over to Shade and hugged him and Shade let out an immense sigh of relief and greeted him. "Hey buddy." Hush had immediately pulled away and cocked his head at him and Shade smirked in amusement. "I'm fine. Really." Then Kim came out and Shade smiled softly at her arrival and greeting. As she asked if he was alright he nodded. "I'm fine. As much as I can be at least." He sounded a little tired and drained and maybe a little distant but other than that not extremely bad. As he noticed her looking around he tilted his head. "The detective advised I get home in a fancy way to ensure I'm not followed, I just flew through the window." He told her, gesturing to it, which he thought probably a good idea to shut it now so he went to do so. "Apparently I'm not to go out in public until the trial either." He murmured half-heartedly.

She can only imagine what her wife would feel like if her husband was a police officer she was a wreck end they had hardly no each other more than a few months? I Dollify felt so much longer not in a bad way of course.
“How about I make you something meet.“ She was much better now after all some time had passed and the dizzy spells are getting less and less. She didn’t wait for an answer though and hurried to the kitchen.
Hush had gone back to hugging Shade and Shade smiled and patted the younger boy's head. At Kim's offer he looked up and instantly made a face. "Oh no-" But she'd already run off to the kitchen and Shade stared before quickly raising his voice. "Uh no! Really, Kim, don't bother. I... I was sick before I don't really have... much of an appetite..." He hesitated a moment before adding. "I think I just need to... have a shower. Is that okay?" He sounded uncertain and out of it and now Hush was looking at Shade with some concern.


Shade smiled faintly at her and gave a grateful nod. "Thanks." He pulled away from Hush gently, patting him lightly on the head. "I'll be back in a bit." He murmured and trudged to the bathroom. After all that he... it was like he needed to wash that place off him again, all the suffering and the disgust of what had been done to all those victims. Shade almost felt nauseous again but he doubted he had anything left to throw up.
As Kim asked him yet again Hush looked to her and well he seemed to sense she needed something to do and it was for that reason more than his own genuine hunger that he gave a light shrug one could easily interpret as yes he wouldn't mind something to eat.

So she was more than happy to have Hush agree and set to making him a sandwich. Since they actually had some bread and she use the knowledge of a couple things she had seen him eat as well as Shade feed him in the past. “Would you like me to cut the crust off a sandwich?” She used it also to give her a clue if the sandwich was a bad idea before she started making it and him not want it.
Shade went to the bathroom and then sort of got lost in his own mind as he mechanically undressed and went through the motions as he showered. His creator has experienced this before where your mind is racing so much you're barely aware of what you're doing as you shower. But then it also starts to become calming, listening to the steady stream of the water, feeling it fall on you. Shade might have had the water a little too hot than he should have but oh well. He splashed his face and then settled for lingering under the direct stream of the shower, letting it spill off his head and hair and cascade down his back and neck onto the tiled floor, eyes closed and breathing slowly. Until he eventually lent his head on the wall and just let the water drum on his back.
Hush had retreated back to the couch at Shade's leaving though looked up at Kim's question. He seemed to frown and then shook his head, clearly indicating a no. He raised a brow at her as if to say, 'I'm not that young'. He wasn't a baby he didn't need crusts cut off. And with how he'd lived all his life, he was actually the type to eat every morsel he got, so he did eat the crusts.

And with how he'd lived all his life, he was actually the type to eat every morsel he got, so he did eat the crusts.

Hush softened at that, then signed an apology. Maybe he was a little on edge too with all this... He drew his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, rocking slightly as he sat, though he was aware it wasn't as if he'd gone into a trance or anything. As Kim asked another question he signed that he would like some water. His creator can most definitely empathise with Kim she would rather go hungry then eat a lot of things she hates...

Maybe if you were absolutely starving you would, but certainly not any time soon... Hush offered a faint smile of thanks as Kim brought the food and the glass of water and he picked up the sandwich and went to take a bite. But then he hesitated. He’d grown nervous app of a sudden. But he tried to ignore it and took a bite of the sandwich. Nope. As soon as Hush started to chew he gagged. He struggled to swallow the one bite down, then looked dejectedly at the rest of it he held in his hand before putting it back down on the plate. There was nothing wrong with the sandwich, it seemed he was feeling anxious again, likely for Shade and all that had went on today. He huddled into himself and glanced to Kim apologetically if she ended up looking, feeling bad that he couldn’t eat the sandwich. He didn’t want to force himself and be sick.

Hush ducked his head apologetically and a little shamefully as Kim came over though it appeared she was being nice about it. His mouth quirked in the faintest smile and he nodded at her suggestion about saving it for later. Though at her suggestion about a glass of milk he made a face and shook his head, then for context he signed to her ‘I don’t like milk’. The only thing that made it worse other than eating was having the taste of anything unpleasant in his mouth, well, unpleasant to him. Similarly to Kim’s creator Hush’s creator is basing his behaviour off of hers as well, tending to gag when trying to eat while anxious.
Likely to Kim’s relief it was at that moment Shade finally emerged from the bathroom and the hallway, padding slowly towards them as he dragged a hand slowly across his face and through his hair. He then looked up and smiled faintly. “Hello.” He greeted them softly as he entered the room.

Hush looked a little surprised but gave a hesitant nod. Of course, he wasn’t exactly used to just asking for things, even normally.
As Shade continued his way over he glanced to Kim and was about to turn down the offer but then she mentioned peppermint tea and how it seemed to settle the stomach. Also perhaps something told him he shouldn’t just refuse everything she was trying to offer right now. “Okay, tea sounds nice.” He said softly before moving over to sit with Hush, who had taken up his glass of water and proceeded to sip at it.

As Kim came over with the tea Shade’s smile grew a bit and for a moment he looked a bit more like his old self. “Thank you.” He said genuinely as he took the tea from her. He blew on it softly before taking a tiny sip, finding he really liked the taste. He took in a breath inhaling the scent of the peppermint tea as he did so and found himself relaxing slightly as he lent back against the couch a little more. Feeling a bit less down, be glanced to Kim and smirked a little. “Well that stuff certainly works.” He said jokingly. He slumped his shoulders and his eyes slipped half closed. To be honest he was feeling exhausted...

Shade chuckled lightly. At least he was finding it in him to laugh again. He took another sip of his tea before glancing to Hush. “How was today? Alright?” He asked, glancing up and including Kim in his gaze too. Hush smiled and nodded, but seemed content with letting Kim do the talking if she wanted to dish the details. Then Hush pointed at Shade’s tea. Shade glanced it and then offered it to Hush. “You want to try it?” Hush gave a shy shrug but indeed took the tea and had a sip. A bright smile came across his face as he glanced at both Shade and Kim of course since she’d been the one to make the tea. “Yeah it’s good huh.” Shade said with a smile, seemingly brightening up more at Hush’s reaction as well.

Her face brightened up in the light to see all three of them like the same tea that she liked. It was a small thing but apparently it carried big weight with her. “If you’d like some I can make it for you now or later just ask.” She offered with a friendly smile. If there was one thing that she had splurged on her self for was buying several boxes of this particular peppermint tea she had tried a couple different brands during her time here and this was the one luxury she afford her self and she made sure to get this specific brand because it taste the best to her.
Shade raised a brow. "That's certainly innovative. Sounds fun." He said and sent a small grin Hush's way. The younger boy certainly seemed to think so, he nodded vigorously. In truth he was really grateful to Kim for putting in all that effort for him, even if it was something simple, to him it meant a lot, and Shade likely felt similarly. Hush turned to Kim at her offer and gave a small genuine smile and a nod, thanking her for it. The exchange made Shade smile and then his gaze flicked to Kim. "Thank you... by the way, Kim. For... taking care of him so much." He said softly, inclining his head towards Hush. There was something in his tone not quite distinguishable, but his gratitude was pure.

((Oh my gosh Kim (character) I didn't think Hush had to spell it out for you XD))
Hush jerked as Kim said she would make some and hopped up and he quickly waved his hands in the negative but she'd already taken off.
"Hold on there cowgirl!" Shade called humorously. "Hush says he doesn't want any right now, I think he was just saying he appreciated it." Hush nodded at that. Shade only chuckled though for he found it amusing how Kim seemed to rush off wanting to do something for them all the time. It was sweet.
He smiled at her response to his words. Of course he knew Hush could technically take care of himself, but he worried about leaving Hush on his own, he was still a young guy who would be left entirely in the dark if he was on his own, with nowhere to go and no one to help him. And with what had been done to him surely it was fair that Shade was a little protective. He feared Hush would become too anxious on his own, that he needed someone with him. And well he was probably right. He smiled more as Kim said she liked spending time with both of them. "We like spending time with you too." He said, glancing at Hush who turned and nodded firmly. Shade glanced back up to Kim, smiling. "You've certainly helped make things much better for us Kim. We can't thank you enough. Really."

Kim begin to fidget slightly and move to sit back down her heart was racing now and she felt overheated. “I don’t think I’ve really done much. I think the two of you have done more for me than I have for you.“ She decided to sit Purtee to try and find somewhere of gathering her thoughts and getting the hang of her emotions because she was acting like an utter idiot! Soon they would be sick and tired of how she was acting. That much she was confident in.
((She's kinda acting like little Sephiran XD))
Shade cocked his head and raised his brows. "Are you serious? The first thing you did was take us into your home, when you hardly knew anything about us, except that I tried to steal your food. I don't think anyone can beat that. Period." He said and smirked slightly. Though something told him he should perhaps switch the subject, Kim seemed to be getting uncomfortable. He cleared his throat. "So, uh... How are you feeling anyway? Better?" After all she had just come out of hospital recently.

Kim was just in capable of dealing with such words especially because of how foreign they were to her. So it was pretty smart friend to change the subject like that because she felt stuck and didn’t know what to do to MoveOn. “I’m doing a lot better, actually I’ve been thinking I need to start doing my walks again because first day I go back to being a waitress I won’t be able to stand for more than 30 minutes is much as I’ve been sitting around.”
((Aww Kim! XD I get it I get embarrassed at praise too but oh my gosh come on you need to accept it! Let people love you and say you're great! XD))
Shade smiled as she said she was doing a lot better. "That's good." He gave a nod. "As much as I'll be making sure you are still resting and not overworking yourself, I do agree. It's never a good thing to completely stop doing something and then suddenly go back to it. That's how you hurt yourself worse. You need to keep it up or at least keep up your exercise. That was the number one rule for us at the circus too." He said with an important nod though then he grinned. It was kind of funny talking about this.

He was glad to hear that he didn’t argue. “Well then I just finished my tea I think I’ll go for a walk before gets too late.“ These walks she took also helped her process thoughts. It was funny how before they came she would just paste around the living room or something when she was trying to think things through, but I didn’t feel right anymore however she still had walks before they came, it just seemed a bit more useful outlet for her energy now.
((I know it's hard :) I am probably more insecure than I realise too sometimes XD Just try not to just turn it away onto someone else straight away ;) ))
Shade glanced up and pursed his lips a little but then he shoved the worry down. He should let Kim go for a walk if she wanted and maybe it would be gone if he could process his thoughts by himself for a bit as well... "Okay. Be careful. I won't tell you to not be too long because that sounds controlling." He snorted a laugh. "Get back safely." He added softly. Then he cocked his head. "That's fine right? Just shows concern for your wellbeing." He grinned jokingly.

((Ooh I just had an idea! :D When Kim gets back from her walk and its a little later into the night, do we want to do that idea where Shade is tired and in a brain fog and feels like he kind of owes Kim or something, and so he kind of falls back into his... prostitute persona but then realises and is horrified and Kim is also going to inevitably feel like he was faking all the nice things he says to her. And that could make it interesting because even tho they will talk it will still be like a little awkward and uncomfortable between them until the trial happens and Kim is abducted and Shade saves her and that's when they can really make up. All in time for the true trial where Shade has to reveal his name ^_^))


((Makes me think how the others will get her successfully.))
((Yes exactly! ;) ))
Shade smiled at that. “True. Okay. That makes me feel a little better.” He said lightly before waving goodbye. “Have fun!” He called. He watched until she presumably left, then sat and chatted quietly with Hush, well of course he did the chatting, and sometimes Hush didn’t even have to respond, Shade knew he was always listening. Though when Hush started to become immersed in what he was reading, Shade, feeling warm from the tea and cosy in his spot on the lounge, started to doze off.
Hush noticed soon after and took this chance of his to get up and go have a shower, he knew Shade would be alert enough to come awake the second someone came in if they did but he also wanted to leave him in peace. While Hush was in the shower though for some random reason Shade came awake and blinked open his eyes drowsily. He glanced about the room before getting up and trudging over to the sink. And it would be at this moment, when Shade was washing his hands and Hush was in the shower, that Kim would return...

((Yeah, well it won’t be the same men anyway, and they will definitely be quick about it until they get Kim to a...
More desirable place...))
More desirable place...))

((Good point))
Hm... Could he have a friend that's in with the ring who kind of... tips him off?))
