Gretal dug her nails into her palms again, it was really hard to not say what was on her mind. She wasn't one to cause problems but she was used to speaking what was on her mind. She mostly would just do that to Hansel, since he was her brother and she wasn't really too worried about making him mad.
The pain from her palm brought her back from her thoughts, she unclenched her fist and looked down at her palms. She hadn't broke the skin but she was getting there. Ok she really needed to find a way to stop blurting out what she thought, without doing bodily harm to herself.
She back over and sat down in front of him again. She didn't want to make him mad but she couldn't help but ask the question. "Why are you so sure that Hansel is going to come here, he doesn't know how to get here" she asked suspiciously "Please answer me" she said not being able to hold back a glare.

Zeque just smiled a little at her question and told her "I'm not totally sure" she did have a pretty good point, Hansel probably wouldn't be able to find the house on his own. However the woods weren't really that big, if he tried he would have to find his way eventually. "But if i know one thing about the two of you it's this. You love each other a lot. I'm sure he'd do a lot more then look for a house to find you Kitten"
He sighed quietly, looking away for a moment, then back to her again. "So what do you two do anyway? I'm guessing you live together?" He didn't want to know for any other reason aside from that he was just interested. Did they live alone? What did they get up to? Wow Gretal was 16 now, old enough to be courting. He couldn't really imagine her hanging around any boys aside from Hansel.

Gretal nodded numbly, she felt like if she said anything she was going to start crying again. She didn't really know why but she was feeling kind of depressed at the moment. She was also feeling a little worried about Hansel. The last thing she wanted him to do was make a mistake or something and get hurt. If he did decide to take on Zeque she wasn't really sure if he would actually be able to win, she had the upmost confidence in him but at the same time she was worried.
"Nothing really" she answered. She was for the most part being truthful, she knew that she didn't do very much and somewhat either did Hansel.

She looked sad.Again he just assumed that it was because she missed Hansel. She wasn't the only one, he had been right there and Zeque had just run off. "Don't worry Kitten, he'll find us" He told her, deciding he had better tell her about the talking cat, just so she would know what was going on. "I couldn't bring him with me though, i promised you remember? And besides... it wasn't just him"
Bringing it up made him feel slightly worried again, but this time he reminded himself that it wasn't just locks and bolts that kept this place secure, the windows and doors had all kinds of spells on them, he was pretty sure nothing could get in (or out) without him knowing about it. But what if...? He shook his head, forcing his thoughts back onto here and now. "Please don't look sad, it will all be fine"

She was happy that he had at least done as she had asked and not go after Hansel, that was a little bit of an improvement. But then he mentioned that it wasn't just Hansel. "Who was with him?" she asked. Her mind was automatically jumping to worst case scenario. There was a lot of wierdos around what if they tried to hurt him or did worse.
"How in the hell is it all going to be all right, if Hansel does come all the way out here for me, he's just going to get stuck here like me. But that's what you want right?" she asked coldly dropping the being nice act.

"A cat" He told her, then realized how silly that sounded. "Was a talking cat" It still sounded really silly but oh well. He wasn't even scared of cats, actually he really liked them, most witches do. But he hadn't known it was there and it had been able to talk, that was what spooked him.
He was just a little shocked when she started snapping again. Well so much for her being in a good mood now. "Um" He blinked, suddenly looking kind of guilty, like a little kid that got caught taking cookies from the cookie jar. "Yeah... i do want that" He didn't really get why she was mad at him just for wanting something, if he had attacked Hansel then yeah he would get why she was shouting. It was more the fact that she had been nice before and now she was shouting again that made him feel bad, he hadn't meant to set her off, he liked her better when she was being a good girl.

“A talking cat?” she said slowly, that was really weird. There were a lot of strange things everywhere so she didn’t doubt him but it did throw her off a little. She had stopped being so freaked out about Hansel’s safety though, since she highly doubted that he could be hurt badly by a cat.
She shook her head, she was wishing she could take back what she just said. Now it would just seem odd that she went from being mean to being nice again. But now in the back of her mind she was thinking about Hansel trying to find the house. As far as she knew he had no clue where it was at, and she didn’t like the thought of him getting lost. Zeque wasn’t the only crazy person out there.
“Was he following you?” she asked, at least if he had done that then his chances of getting lost were a little less than before but if he had been following him, wouldn’t he had been there by now. She didn’t know what to think, all she knew that she was feeling sick to her stomach in worry.

"No he stayed to chat to the kitty cat" He he that rhymed. He didn't giggle out loud though, she might still be in a snappy mood. "I like cats Gretal, but i think it was spying on us" That wouldn't really sound all that weird coming from Zeque, he always thought things were spying on him. Mostly town people.
She didn't seem all that angry anymore, she really must be worried about her brother or something. Well seen as she was being all nice now and not yelling every two seconds, Zeque decided to push his luck. He moved away from the door to sit next to her. "Kitten? He asked sweetly, meaning he was going to ask for something, probably something a bit weird, like the hair-brushing thing.

"He stayed behind to talk to the cat" That was kind of odd, but she didn't want to question it further. "The cat was spying on you, why do you care it's a cat. Who's going to beleive it?" She didn't know if it made sense to him but it did make sense to her.
She was still worried but there wasn't very much she could do for him. So it was pointless to frwakout over something she had no control over. She had been looking down when she was thinking but when she heard her pet name she looked up "What?" she asked nervously.

Who was going to believe a cat? "They'll believe anything over me" He mumbled, more to himself then her. Well he couldn't really blame them. But that wasn't important right now.
It was better sitting next to her then across from her, though he didn't dare move any closer just yet. "Will you sing a song please?" He asked, still using the creepily sweet voice. He looked real hopefully to, well she had been really nice so far (yes he had already forgotten that little snap just now) so he thought she just might. "Or you could just hum a bit..." He added just in case she didn't feel like singing.

"Don't you think you're being a little paranoid, I mean yes they do have a reason to come after you, but that was your fault" it came out a little meaner than it had sounded in her head, but oh well, what was said, was said. When he had moved closer her first instinct was to move away but she stayed put. She raised her eyebrow when he asked her to sing or hum. The bushing the hair, was one thing. But she refused to sing, she didn't even do that kind of thing when she wasn't locked up with a crazy person. "I'm not doing that, are you craz..." she stopped herself before she said crazy. With him sitting so close saying the word would not be a good idea.

"Paranoid?Well you would be too if-" Oh what was the point, she didn't understand. Even if it was all his fault, it was far to late to go back and fix things. "You don't know the half of it, you only know what you know" That came out kind of stupid but it made sense to him.
He really had hoped that she would sing, though when she said that she wouldn't, he didn't look all that bothered or surprised. It was the next part that got him. And then he changed from just a little disappointed to hissing through gritted teeth: "Am i what?" He narrowed his eyes at her, daring her to say that word.

"All right whatever you say" she said leaving it at that, yes it was true that she didn't know all of it. She didn't know what he was thinking so had no idea how he thought everything through. Because in her mind, kidnapping people was not a good thing.
Stupid she thought to herself, why did she even have to go there. She could have just kept her mouth shut and agreed like a good girl but no she had to go and say the one word that she hated. Now he was pissed and sitting really close. She tried to say sorry but she was a little speechless at the moment. What she really wanted to do was to move away but she wasn't sure how to accomplish that without being really obvious.

No answer. Well good, he would rather her shut up then say it again. Just to make sure she didn't make the same mistake again any time soon, Zeque decided to give her a little warning. That way she wouldn't call him that anymore and they could stay friends without having little fall outs. "I hate that word and i hate when you say it" He told her fighting to keep his voice as calm as he could, "Say it again Kitten, and I'll make sure its the last time" With those words he bit his own tongue softly between his teeth and held up one hand, making scissor motions with his first two fingers. He didn't want to cut her tongue out, he liked her voice. But he would.
Now that was all clear he smiled at her, though it was not the cheery smile anymore, it was a wicked grin. "Got that? Good!" And with that he stood up and took a few steps away from her to look out of the window.

She didn't say anything since she didn't trust herself to speak. the chances if her saying something really stupid were really good. She just opted to glare at him instead.
She thought she would have been really scared after that but instead she was just feeling really angry. She really hoped that Hansel would get there soon or she was going to get herself killed by saying the wrong thing again.
Gretal got to her feet as well, after he did. "You know what you do have a good reason to be paranoid about the town's people. When they find out what you did, then you are going to pay for it. Because your a.........bad person" she finished. There was no way she was going to say crazy again and she figured saying insane would have the same reaction, and she would like to avoid having her tounge cut out, since she did like being able to talk.
