*Rudolf got to his feet* "I should go," he said, sounding tired and not feigning it at all.* "I have a long walk back to my cottage. "

"Good to hear," *she said with a smile to der Tod. Her movements were almost imperceptibly stiff, and the cheer in her voiced sounded somewhat forced, if you paid close attention. *
*She nodded at Rudolf.*
"I understand- it's getting pretty late. Be careful going home."

*Tod frowned a bit, catching something in Renn's expression but only the barest hint of it. But...
She heard, she saw. His mind screamed at him.
And it's all over now.
*Rudolf nodded, a bit oblivious of Renn as he was too busy trying to seem at ease*
"Thank you. I'll, ah, see you later."

"Of course. Bye!"
*She waited until he'd left before wordlessly turning to face der Tod.*

*Silence. Always a bad sign. He cleared his throat*
"So..."

"So."
*If there was something to say in this situation, Renn had no idea what it was. She didn't know whether to be angry (and if that was the case, should she be angry at Rudolf or der Tod or both?) or sad or... she was mostly just shocked, though hiding it.*
"Dude. No sex for you for a month."

*He slowly inhaled, and just as slowly breathed back out.*
"I suppose you heard part of what we said...thanks to the shouting..."
*He was watching her face, looking for some sign of how she was really feeling*

"I couldn't help but overhear," *she replied.*
"I heard quite a bit, actually."

"Oh?"
*He tried to appear casual, and mostly succeeded*
"Like what?"

"Ya'll were quite vocal the last few minutes," *she said, betraying no emotion.*

*He colored a bit, not knowing he did so.*
"I beg your pardon...hadn't meant to be that way."

*She ran a hand through her hair.*
"Thank you for not... going through with it, at least."

*The look on his face was perhaps best left to the imagination rather than described.
He sighed, trying to regain his composure*
"I...y--"
*He couldn't think of a response...words had failed him.*

*She swallowed, giving him a pained look.*
"So what happens now?"

*He ran a hand through his hair, mussing it up rather than helping it*
"I don't know."
