Lock stumbled back when she pushed him. A few of the monsters at the pumpkin carving station stopped to stare for a moment.

"Okay, to be fair, that first one [i]was[/i] true," he said, with an amused smirk and a flick of his tail. "We never have. Until now."

The smirk quickly faded as she continued to speak. Lock just sat there for a moment, ignoring the slimy feel of the pumpkin guts seeping through his clothes. He stood up and tried to go to her, but she had already become a bat and hovered above him. That Lock had no response regardless said enough.

Another moment passed before he realized that some of the other monsters were still staring. Lock glared at them when he noticed.

"What are [i]you[/i] looking at?" he demanded.

His tail threateningly flicked behind him, and it was enough for the pumpkin carvers to suddenly remember they had a task to do and get back to it. Lock quickly wiped the pumpkin guts off, dipped his hands in the fountain as he passed it to clean them, then went to go do the pumpkin delivery.

He also promised himself he'd find a way to make it up to Lillith.
