[No one goes into the ratty, nasty treehouse that Chase built all that time ago but Kage. No wonder, the damn thing is a health hazard. It's just waiting to fall apart and snap someone's neck.
But there's someone up there now. Kage can smell the cigarette smoke wafting down.
Curious, he starts climbing the ladder. He pops his head up and... Smiles.]
[Chase squints one eye, forming a gun with one of his hands, and makes his own sound effect with his mouth as he mimes shooting Kage between the eyes.]
Malach'itach, no one comes up into this fuckin' deathtrap save you'n me.
[Kage just grunts at Hound calling him 'old man', and climbs the rest of the way into the treehouse. He sits at the edge of the hole, legs dangling down. ]
... You still exist. Know what that means? Means th'first you lived. Means I did my job.
[Kage smiles.
A real smile.
He's honestly glad. All the pain he put Chase through was worth it, then, if the stupid brat survived.]
