“You can’t just…. just…. run away!”
Orange felt a bitter laugh slide past his lips, and resisted the urge to bite his tongue.
“Just watch me - I’ve done it before, haven’t I?”
As Orange’s gaze flicked towards Capo, he could see the being narrow their eyes at him - all 14 of them stared at him with the regular expression of exasperation and a mild distaste. Orange could practically feel the dramatic sigh already building in their throat, and he could tell they already had an entire book written in their head about him and his ‘Simple-minded, half-witted, moronic schemes’, as Capo liked to call them.
Orange raised a long, boney finger, stopping them before they could speak.
“Look,” Orange started the sentence off with a short pause, pretending to find the words that he had said various times. He didn’t need to remember - It was second nature to say this little speech of his.
“We both know it’s for the best if I leave. Ya know, Vasiliás wouldn’t like to see my name on the list again - and besides! Me leaving would make it much easier for You, Rordon, Rey, Reine, Padrona, and the others to work on their respective Colonies and Sectors! They won’t even know I’m gone-”
Capo let out a small, yet noticeable scoff. “Bullshit. Last time you left, Vas has to send Reale after you - 3 of their Sectors almost fell onto Earth! We could have killed more than we need!!”
When he saw the anger and venom in Capo’s eyes, Orange could feel his grin widen. Their normally calm and gentle face was scrunched up so that Capo’s mouth was a lop-sided snarl of sorts. Their eyes were all narrowed, staring right at him - except for one that would glance around here and there, as if expecting a visitor of sorts.
“Expecting someone to show up?” Orange asked, His voice suddenly changing to one of a serious nature. The sudden flinch from Capo told Orange all he needed to know - They had told someone about him leaving. Orange felt dread wash over him, but anger soon took over his emotions. Turning around, he started to slither towards the exit gates. Hearing the soft clicking of Capo’s claws against the ground made Orange move faster - He was going to run from Capo. And so, he did. Past the gates, Into the purple/blue haze, Capo’s loud yelling fading behind him as he slithered deeper into the haze.
Orange had never run away from Capo before.
It was a strange feeling, and Orange didn’t like the feeling.
The more he thought about it - The more he realized the feeling wasn’t sadness, nor regret.
It was fear.
Because It wasn’t just going to be Capo after him.
Vas was probably going to send everything he had.
