My Past Reads Like A Fall Out Boy Song Title [OPEN]

[The fields have ears.]

[Of corn, that is, but it's trampled and a mess by the time anyone might come across it-- this is Aaron's fault. He's been pacing for a solid hour as the wound on his side slowly clots.]

[He knows that he should put something over it; pressure, a cloth, even his hand, but he can't. His hands are shaking and his head hurts and all he can think of is Riddler.]

[Or, rather, what Riddler did to him. And vice versa.]

[By the time he's worked off enough nervous energy to stop pacing around, he's not alone anymore. A shallow well of shadow forms almost unconsciously behind him (they could be one of Lux's, now that people must know that he has stronger magic) and he turns towards where he thinks his visitor is.

Who's there?

[He knows well enough that the only reason Daniel is leaving is because he's got what he wants, but it doesn't stop him from chasing him out with whiplike tendrils of shadow to his ankles, snappy enough to be cutting if they hit bare skin.]

STAY OUT!

[Rest assured he will not be going to the observatory any time soon. OR ever, really.]

[Daniel makes sure to leave deliberately slowly, he's not in any danger from the ground shadows as he is still being lifted by his bizarre walking engine, which is infused with his magic. At this point, it's more about making a statement than anything else.

He is quite confident in the curiosity he's instilled in Aaron, it's something about human nature he tends to bank on, that humans are too curious not to seek out potential answers to any questions that they find important to them. It tends to eat at them. Even if they don't notice it at first. And so he and Cam go, without fuss, but without hurrying either, especially if it'll make their encounter with Aaron more memorable to the boy.]
