[@Gilgex] [/center][hr][hr]Eddie glanced down at the painkillers. Her father had always gone on about how bad they were for your liver, but damnit, she needed it. Swallowing them all dry, Eddie tentatively wiggled her toe. [i]Nope. Fuck. Hurts still.[/i]

[color=99ccff]"Hun, I'm used to crazy ghosts fussing over me,"[/color] Eddie laughed. [color=99ccff]"Just don't treat me like a kid needing to be looked after. I don't need that."[/color]

[color=0E32CF][b]”I’m going to be your shadow until you leave Brazil. So do what you came here for, but just know I’ll be watching your back.“[/b][/color] The creature turned itself into a crow, perching on her shoulder. 

[color=99ccff]"Because, you know, everyone walks around with a crow on their shoulder,"[/color] Eddie muttered. She rolled her eyes at his pirate remark. Pirates had annoying parrots--not crows. Still, crows were rather intelligent animals. She couldn't fault him for that choice.

[color=0E32CF][b]”Look it’s also so I can help you learn how to protect people, and get vengeance as well. If you’re going to go after the bad guys, someone has gotta teach you the basics. Just promise me one thing, learn to relax, and have a little fun with it. I mean if I was all crotchety all the time, I’d have gone nuts ten times over by now. Especially with all the dead bodies I leave behind… Wait, maybe I have already gone bonkers. Eh, don’t matter right now.“[/b][/color] 

Eddie couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the crow questioning his sanity. His imposing himself as a mentor figure didn't sit quite right with her--but for now, it felt best not to fight it. She'd finish her studies, and leave Brazil. 

[color=99ccff]"Tell me about the guys chasing you, then,"[/color] Eddie asked, offering it as an exchange for her compliance. [color=99ccff]"They had to have a reason to come after you--and a reason that you went after them. What's their deal?"[/color]
