"Disappearing is something I'm very good at." He replied grimly. "I'm also adept at making other people disappear." He smirked slightly at his own joke. It didn't take him long to get back to the office.

Meanwhile, Keenan jumped out of bed to follow after the two guards.

Grim continued to stay there for some time, a good ten minutes at least, before finally stirring again. He stood, then wordlessly turned to make his way off. During the entirety of this little episode, he spoke not a word until he was back out in the street. "I believe it is time for us to return." He said.

The stone read;

"Soldra".

There was no other indicator as to who, or what, was buried there. But whatever was there, Grim obviously had some kind of connection to it, otherwise there would be no point for him to sit there quietly. He had no readable expression, carried no mementos, nor did he have flowers to place. He simply sat there.

"Sh." He shushed, casting her a quick frown; but other than that, he said nothing in reply. It was to this fresh headstone he went, and silently sat down cross-legged in front of it, with his back to knife-girl. She was in his territory now. If she wanted to stick around, she needed to keep quiet.

Grim chuckled darkly at that, but didn't respond. He led her around a few street corners until he came upon the cemetery. It was perhaps the oldest spot in the whole of Basin. So old in fact, that it was probably the only spot within fifty miles that still had grass. It was small, there were maybe only thirty or so headstones that were more or less still standing there, though most, if not all, had been crumbling away over the years for so long, there was no way to tell on any what had once been inscribed on them. All save for one headstone, which looked brand-spanking new compared to the rest. It couldn't have been there for more than a generation. Grim nimbly hopped over the stone wall that into the yard, since the gate was locked.

"Ah, I see. Well this rat isn't going to squeak for you, so you'll just have to find out for yourself." Grim replied to her. As he'd said, he wasn't going to go far. So if she was really that interested, she'd just have to follow. He smirked slightly at the thought. Once she realized where he was going, she probably wouldn't be so interested.

Continuing his train of thought on the matter, Grim gave knife-girl a grim smile. "Keeping an eye on your dog, are you?" He asked, slightly amused by his own private joke.

Between Two Worlds

"Don't worry, my good man. You will know when I am ready for you to know." He replied simply. It was obvious that this Doctor Fate, while informative, was picky about the information he shared. "For the time being, let us wait until we reach Earth."

But Grim defiantly ignored the knife-girl. He knew what he was doing. Yes, he might be a new hired hand, temporarily, but he wasn't going to them think that he was a tame dog to be ordered about and commanded around.

Marie mumbled something in her sleep and shifted slightly, putting her arm across his chest, but then grew still.

Meanwhile, Grim eventually grew bored of watching the two sleepers in the room, and he dropped to the floor, landing on his feet, before walking back out of the room. Anticipating the two women's objection, he held up a hand. "I won't go too far." He told them. And with that, he walked back out into the street. It was slowly getting lighter outside, and already he saw a few early risers coming out to try to make an early profit. No doubt by petty theft and pickpocketing.
