DreamerEve popped another hard candy into her mouth, dropping the wrapper into the pile next to her. The moment she tasted cinnamon her face contorted in disgust and spit it out. She normally shoved those into the bottom of the bowl, so what was the deal? Pushing the sweet into the corner of her mouth away from her tongue, she glanced inside the bowl on her lap. Her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of only a couple of small dark chocolate bars and a handful of candies wrapped in brownish-red, signaling their cinnamon taste. She groaned, taking the bowl off of her lap and sliding off the countertop, landed on the ground. The fallen angel searched the cabinets for any other type of sweets, eventually locating an unopened bag of lollipops. Satisfied with her discovery, she ripped open the bag and took out two and shoved them into her mouth. The taste overpowered the lingering cinnamon, pleasing her. She began to head back to her spot on the counter, but stopped at the sight of a boy in the kitchen. Startled, she nearly dropped the candy bag in her hands and waved at him awkwardly, two lollipop sticks poking out of her mouth like elephant tusks. “Erm…” Coherent words were difficult while two suckers occupied her mouth, so she grabbed the two with her free hand and took them out. “Do you need anything, or…?”

Dreamer had to admit, this wasn't the weird scene he's seen so far in his life but that was besides the point. His reasoning for coming here was to grab some sweets and go. So looking up and down at the girl in front of him he out his hands to his hips and with a bored tones asked, " mind not hogging all the sweets? Some members would love to have some and when I mean members, I mean me. So mind hand me some? " deciding that asking politely first would be the appropriate thing to do before deciding to just take the bowl himself.

Emptying the bag into the candy bowl, she inspected the boy in front of her. For once, a cult member didn’t tower above her, so she could actually look him in the eye without the other’s height completely overshadowing her. He was a human, one of the few she’d ever seen in the cult, and didn’t look like much either, and she wasn’t in the mood for sharing her sweets.
“Ever heard of the phrase, ‘the early bird catches the worm’ or ‘finder’s keepers’?” She answered, sticking a lollipop back in her mouth and jumping up onto the counter once again, preferring to swing her legs over the edge this time. A challenging smirk appeared on her face as she placed the bowl on her lap and looked down at him.

His expression almost quickly change from polite to done. Determined to try one more time at being nice he boredly responded, " ever heard of sharing is caring? If not seem like you gotta watch more Barney friend." He walked forward to her slowly and calmly, " How about you make this easier on yourself and just hand me the sweets alright?" .

“Isn’t Barney the guy who swore on live television or something?” Eve retorted, a bored expression on her face. She had never let her sweet cravings be interrupted before by any cult member’s judgement or annoyance, and this cultist was no different in her eyes. She leaned over the bowl and looked him square in the eye. “And how ‘bout this? I call dibs on the candy! Now beat it, pal.”

Dreamer's eye narrowed as he scowled her, he focused on keeping himself calm before his flames started smoking out of his eyepatch again. " Alright amigo. Seems like I'm gonna have to be a little less nice." With a swift moment he swiped at her, taking the bowl and dropping some sweets on the ground and quickly turning away and running out like a little kid. He couldn't help but laugh a little at her as he dashed out stupidly. Admittedly this wasn't his best idea.

Eve sat in shock for a moment, taking a second a second to process what just happened. Once she did, her eyes flared and she jumped off the counter and slipped and fell to the floor. “Ow,” She grumbled, doubly pissed now. The angel no longer cared if she didn’t even know the cultist’s name, she was so going to murder him. She stumbled to her feet and darted out the door in search of the boy.

Dreamer ran forward before sharply turning a corner. He pressed himself against the wall, hoping he lost the other woman before proceeding to pick through the bowl, mostly just looking for his favorite sweets. He plopped on in his mouth as he slid down on the ground, smiling himself for his success.

Eve ran through the hallway in search for the boy and more importantly, her candy. She had a decent memory of the mappings of the catacombs, which at the very least made it easier for her to navigate. However, it did not make her any less clumsy as she occasionally crashed into a wall when turning corners or tripped over the hem of her dress. After a few minutes of searching, the fallen angel was almost so preoccupied with not accidently killing herself she almost missed the boy pressed up against the wall and skidded to a halt. “Okay,” Eve tried to control her panting (seriously, she might have looked a bit too hard), “how 'bout you just give me back my candy now?”

Dreamer jumped slightly as she managed to catch up to him and find him pressed against the wall. He grinned sheepishly as he threw a wrapper back into the bowl.
" Sorry but I don't I can do that! For you see candy is my pride and joy that I simply can't give up friend." He explained, how words laced a little bit with sarcasm. Sometimes he enjoyed having a little bit of childish fun such as a chase.

“I don’t really think I befriend a thief, so I’d drop that nickname,” Eve commented, crossing her arms with annoyance. She took a slow step forward, not up for chasing him through the catacombs again. “And sorry, I don’t recall ever asking you if candy was your pride and joy. You didn’t exactly give me a chance after snatching it right out of my hands. And also, I missed that part where you asked me if I cared.” There was far more annoyance tracing her voice then there probably should’ve, considering she didn’t even need it that badly, but having it stolen rubbed her the wrong way.

" Hey! I take offense to be called a thief. I am anything but that. See this bowl of candy," he said as he lifted the bowl up as he referred to it," I called ownership on this therefore this is mine and I'm not stealing." He neatly held the bowl next to him, " I'll be willing to share if you'd be a little kinder and perhaps a little I don't know, playful than that. Live a little that chase was fun!" He added as he smiled with a child like gleam in his eye as he thought about it.

“Well, I guess I’m calling it as I see it,” Eve retorted, her dislike growing for the cultist’s childish banter by the word. “And stealing the candy I rightfully called dibs on would very much mean you’re just a thief who robs poor, defenseless children.” For once she didn’t mind looking years younger than she was, as long as she could make this claim. Though, he was one of the few cultists that didn’t tower over her, only getting an inch or two taller than her. And she could at the very least say he was decently childish.
As for his defense, Eve was neither impressed or swayed in her position. “And I’d probably be in a better mood to barter or play tag if you hadn’t snatched a bowl of candy out of my hands. You have two perfectly good legs. Can’t you go out into town and get your own?” Now that she could get a closer look of him, he did seem human enough to go into town without causing much of a scene.

The boy quickly lost his childlike gleam at the mention of town, he held the bowl toward his chest in a hugging manner. " I.... I can't go into town." He said softly towards the angel. He shifted his body slightly away from her, his defenses kicking in but he attempt as not to complete turn away as even though they were fighting, he didn't want to seem rude.

Out of all the things Eve was expecting his response to be, fear was not one of them. In fact, she’d prefer any other reaction from him other than this. Her eyes drifted down to the scar littering his arms and she felt like slapping herself for her idiocy; she couldn’t have been the only one in the cult terrified of going into town. She couldn’t blame him at all for turning away from her. If someone had asked a question as carelessly as that, she would’ve walked away entirely.
But he didn’t, which made her stand by, not sure what to do next. She hesitated for a moment, torn between leaving him be or try to fix what she said. The angel decided on the latter and moved to sit next to him and kept a safe distance in case he didn’t want to talk to her. Positioning herself to face him, she said, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to, um… well… Sorry.” For someone who constantly felt guilty and the need to apologize, she was no good at it.
