He'd heard the mutts in the night, too close to the shelter he'd found for Rapunzel. And so even though it was dawn, the thin morning daylight casting long blue shadows across everything, it was time to move. He wanted to find her somewhere underground, but knew that she didn't want to spend so much time in complete darkness. Not after the little monsters she'd encountered after they'd been parted by the fireworks.

He wasn't sure she was actually awake as he slunk along from shadow to shadow, carrying her cradled across his back, her hair wrapped around her like a big gauzy shawl, entirely unaware of how much he looked like a spider taking its cocooned pray back to a lair.

"Of course he won't, he- Some!" Rapunzel's voice started off angry, shaking, but at the feel of that tug on her skirt turned into almost a whimper. She half spun towards him, branch drooping-

And there-

There was so much blood.

Ian followed her - the monster wasn't dead and he could still hurt her. "Careful," he said, trying not to get too close himself as he grabbed the arm that wasn't holding the branch to pull her away.

"See-" he began, but then he started coughing, and the blood pulsing from the deep wound in his chest flowed stronger for a moment. His hand dropped away from her skirt, falling half-open to the ground, and he was still.



[He's unconscious, and will die in a few tags. TY for a great death, and I know Rapunzel wants to try to save him, so keep going a bit without me?]
