"You forget: Erik knows everything that goes on in this building. He hears things."
*He held out his hand to his son.*

*Julian hazarded a nervous smile, taking Erik's hand trustingly. He tried to push his fears back, but even as he did so, Erik's seemed so much further away, endless skin between them that could not be escaped.*
"Please then, show the way."

Perhaps you cannot hear me. But Erik will fix this.
*His fingers tightened around Julian's as he brought them up. He had heard of a witch called, simply, The Witch. It seemed promising.*

***NEW DAY***
*The girl sat by the crate with her arms crossed, scowling.*

Erik passed in the shadows, starting at the unfamiliar figure by the lake.
No, he knew her. That's right--a bizarre gift from Nadir. He materialized beside her, unconsciously mirroring her crossed arms.
"What do you want?"

*She jumped slightly, but pressed her lips into a thin line, gritting her teeth.*
"...I have no where else to go," *she said.* "No one wants me. I have no money."

Erik's eyes narrowed.
"Didn't I give you money?" he asked shortly. "What happened to it?"

My suethor forgot.
"I...was robbed," *she said miserably.*

Erik tsked.
"Most unwise of you," he pointed out helpfully. "But I'm afraid there's nothing for you here. Unless you've returned to fulfill your intended purpose?"

"You had no interest in me, anyway," *she snorted, almost tauntingly.*

"Erik was occupied," he said. "And very attractive at the time."
He glanced over at the Girl, reappraising her.
"You are significantly less filthy and shrinking than last I saw you. Perhaps I will change my mind."

*She backed away a step.*
"You can't change your mind just because your fortunes have changed. Occupy yourself now. With whoever you were occupied last time."

"He's... not here," Erik said. "And besides, you're mine, aren't you? You can't just back out on an investment like that."

"I had no part in the investment!" *she hissed. Grabbing a handful of the dank mire on the shore, she scrubbed her face with it.*
"There. I'm filthy again and I'll bite you if you try to lay a hand on me. I'm certain I could be exchanged for a boy if you prefer..."
*Though that would just put her back into the hands of those who had sold her, and Lord only knew where she'd end up, then. Still, it bought her time.*

"No, I don't think Erik is especially drawn to boys."
Erik was rather impressed with her spirit, even if he hadn't really been considering ravishing her.
"That was unfortunate, however," he said. "Now I cannot possibly allow you in the house, covered in dirt."
