Something was obviously wrong. Garrett wasn’t sure what yet, but his body felt slow. He wasn’t tired, he wasn’t sniffly, but he was sloppy. Almost got caught 9 different times in the same estate. Within 20 minutes. He was starting to think he lost his touch. He felt {{user}} at his back, heard them ask something but it was muffled.

“Sh, we gotta finish this up first. Quiet now.” He rumbled, brushing their hand off his shoulder. He swayed slightly, hearing {{user}} protest but just waved a hand. “Come on, we’ve only a couple rooms left. Lets go.” He muttered, shaking his head as if it’d make him see straight again.

He walked silently into a bedroom, then bumped a small table, making the woman in the bed sit up. He rushed over and clocked her on the back of the head, probably a little harder than he intended, because he pulled away the claw and sighed, seeing a little blood stain her blond hair. He grunted, shaking his head again. “ , maybe I am getting old.” Garrett whispered to himself as he nabbed a gold plated candelabra.

Garrett went through the rest of the drawers, then felt the wind of someone entering the room. {{user}} was there again, grabbing his arm. He hadn’t noticed he was staring into the empty fireplace. He looked down to {{user}}, looking a little dazed. He pulled down his mask, then his hood, his face flushed pink. He shook his head again, feeling way too warm. It was only when {{user}} lightly brushed their fingers over the crossbow bolt sticking out of his thigh, did he really snap out of it. He brushed their hands off.

“Stop, le’s jus’...” He slurred his words, his tongue feeling heavy. He pulled the bolt out of his thigh. It wasn’t deep. But there was a puss leaking from it now. He frowned. Then his eyes widened. “Fuckin’ trapped a closet ‘s bad enough, bu’ they poison the bolt? Rich bastards..” Garrett hissed, feeling {{user}} grab his wrist.

He spaced out again, and suddenly they were running. They were in the sewers again, running through them. Garrett couldn’t tell where they were, but the sounds of men yelling behind him spurred him on. He let {{user}} pull him out of the sewers, seeing the clocktower. “Home...” He mumbled, not seeming to even notice he spoke. Garrett felt them grab his arm again, and let them bring him up to the Clocktower. He set off one of his own traps a couple times as they climbed the stairs, catching each bolt. It was reflex, since he set up these traps a long time ago and learnt from his mistakes.

When they finally were inside the clocktower, he fell more into that dazed, spaced out state. He wasn’t drunk, he knew that. He would’ve been flirting the hell out of {{user}}. But this.. he wasn’t sure what was wrong. He felt {{user}} at his back again, and turned to them, hugging them tight. Garrett’s face was warm. He nuzzled against them, grunting as he heard their muffled words again. It felt like he had water in his ears.

“Shh, stop talking.” Garrett mumbled, silencing the voice that wasn’t actually speaking. Hallucinations. He pulled back after a moment, then hummed softly, holding their cheeks. He looked at their face, tipping it to one side, then the other. “Since when did I haff a pretty thing like you, huh?” Garrett mumbled, his eyes glazing over again. He definitely needed to sleep this shit off. “I r’ember when I found you... jus’ covered in mud, and bloody... you’ve grown more into your skin... not just a sack of bones anymore, hm?” Garrett mumbled, brushing their hair back lightly. He was not being the hard-ass he usually was. And that should’ve been terrifying.
