How are you doing there, Daniel? Managing okay?
It's just a walk around the block, Amber.
Yeah, but you're breathing pretty hard right now.
I've had better days, but I'll manage.
Do you want to take another break? There's a bench just over here.
The motel's not too far away. I can make it.
Well, at least let me take that backpack for you.
I'm not letting the axe out of my reach. Not for a second.
Okay, that's fine, but right now I'm not even sure you'd have the strength to pull it out and lift it above your knees.
Things aren't quite that bad.
I don't know. I'm worried about you.
Let's talk about something else. Like, which trails we're going to try later today.
Daniel, come on. Trails? You can barely make it around the block, let alone up those steep mountain paths. Couple hours rest, and... You haven't improved after a couple of days of rest. In fact, you've gotten worse. So don't stand there and tell me you're going to be fine by this afternoon. We both know that's not going to happen.
What else are we supposed to do? Sit around in the motel, twiddling our thumbs?
That's exactly what we're going to do. You need time to recuperate.
Listen.
I understand your frustration only too well. I had something similar happen to me a few months ago, remember? I was sick, could barely walk, had to sleep most of the day. That annoyed the hell out of me. I hate, I hate feeling useless. But unfortunately, there's nothing we can do. Whatever this illness might be, we have to let it take its course. Besides, I think I need some time to gather my bearings again.
Your bearings? What do you mean by that?
I don't know. It's weird. Somehow I feel like things are starting to slip out of my grasp.
How does Daniel and Amber cope with illness and fatigue during their motel walk?
The visions, they're becoming less vivid, I suppose you could say.
What about this place of stone you mentioned? Can you still see that?
Yeah, but it's weaker now. Like it's further away. I don't know, it's hard to explain.
What do you think could be the reason for that?
I have no idea. Maybe it's because we haven't visited the mountain in a while, or maybe I just need to tap into the ether again somehow to give myself a boost.
We could go back to Dragisa's den, if you think that would help.
I have a feeling the energy would have drained from there by now. The mountain? That is still our best bet, I think.
All the more reason for us to get back up there as soon as we can.
We'll get there. I promise. Eventually. But for now, I think it's time we head back to our room. Come on. I'll race you.
Take a seat, Daniel. I'll get the light switch. It's so damn dark in here with the curtains drawn.
I trust you had a relaxing walk?
Shit! Fuck, it's Rivas!
No need for the axe, Daniel. I came here to talk, not to fight.
Like hell you did!
Please, close the door and take a seat. Let's be civil about this.
We know what you shadows are like. We've seen your tricks.
This is no trick. I've come with a proposal. One that I think will be of great benefit to both of us, if you'll take a moment to listen. Amber, I don't smell bloodlust.
Not yet, but as soon as our guard is down, he'll attack.
If my intention was to attack when your guard was down, I would have hidden behind the door, or jumped at you the moment you stepped inside. But look at me. I'm just sitting here, waiting to talk. We have nothing to say to you. You don't have to talk. Just listen. And I should warn you that time is wasting. No doubt someone in the neighborhood saw me passing through. The authorities may be on their way right now to investigate the latest appearance of... The Prowler. And I have no intention of getting mixed up in a situation like that. So please, close the door and let's get this over with.
Do it, Amber. I've got the X right here in case this fucker makes a move.
Good. That's more like it. Alright, we're listening. Say what you have to say. Let me begin by admitting that this is not a conversation I ever expected to have.
