Princess.
Kade didn't want that to stick. That nickname, if it could be considered such a thing (rather than an insult), didn't bode well with the buxom blond. Her lips pursed as though she were mid thought, though her expression seemed stuck this way for several long moments while traps were being set, and Vale was answering her previous inquiries. The cogs churned, her mind a messy hodge podge of wayward thoughts many wouldn't linger on; Kade couldn't help it. Her brain never seemed to cease with it's work, and even when exhausted, the wheels of her mind spun on to continue their work through the fatigued haze. "Ye know, I ain' gonna say nothin' abou' whether I'm busy or not, 'cause ye would just shoot me down. So, consider me free fer now, an' when all this is said an' done, ye can decide whatever." Tongue sliding against her neat incisors, she paused over her canine with the tip to give it an assessing prod.
"What? Ye don't like bein' called pretty?" Kade practically scoffed as a wrapped hand waved Vale off dismissively. "Fine, fine. I'll just call ye a brute from now on. That work better? Fuck, can't please no one out here. Reckon it's a goddamn crime ta flatter someone if there's trouble afoot- but let's get real here, hot shot. There's always some fuckin' trouble ta be found out here. You an' I both know it, an' I swear on all those graves out there an' that guy who got chewed up in the alley, I'm probably happier runnin' than I am sittin' idle. Reckon it keeps me in shape, ye know?" Undeterred by his mention of her story being unrelated to him, the woman released a pleased sigh. "Ya know, it was just a fuckin' point made towards yer merits. Good traits, ye know. If I thought ye were him, I'd have ta tell ye about that goddamn crush I had fer fuckin' eva- an' trust me, I thought I was gonna marry that bastard until I was damn near an adult. So it goes, yeah?"
Vision following the direction of the male's hand, Kade looked up towards the rooftop with a visible mark of disdain plastering her soot smudged features. Paused, she nibbled at her bottom lip before straightening her posture with an exaggerated sigh. "Fiiiiiiiiine. If ye think we'll be safe up there, I'll trust ye. This time, this once- I'll trust ye." Re-shouldering her bag roughly, Kade moved to follow her companion as closely as she felt was necessary (which wasn't close enough to put him in arm's reach), her thoughts a brand new spill of questioning. "Didja say the forest? Like uh, with a lot ov trees an' such? Never been nowhere like that, but I reckon it sounds nice. Ye know, lots ov shade and what have ye." Hounds howling in the distance didn't seem to jar her any more than him cutting his arm had, and while she was mindful of his injury and the reasoning for it, she didn't bother bringing it up. Heaven forbid she seemed to care anymore for his well being, otherwise she might earn another nickname she didn't want.
Fuckin' Princess.
Their building of choice was insulated so the night had been tolerable, but as soon as the sun had risen and the dunes started to warm, it was an oven of solid walls and small windows. Inconvenience seemed to follow Kade. She was almost positive this was a sign from god, or some higher power of a similar persuasion, that she should have followed her sister's lifestyle choices- If only to save herself a great deal of scars and scary stories. Nodding to herself, Kade's travels halted when the pair had reached Vale's destination, and she was left to watch as he ducked through the open window and monkey man'd his way up onto the roof. Brows knit, she listened to what was said without verifying whether or not his assumptions were more factual than fiction. A lady never tells, after all. As Vale reappeared in an upside down fashion, Kade's first instinct was to crack a quick laugh, though after it was out of her system, realization kicked in that the stranger was serious.
"Wait- ye want me ta trust ye ta lift me up onto that roof?" Letting her lids narrow suspiciously, Kade motioned to where Vale was with an idle twirl of her bandaged digits. "I just met'cha. Which started with, uh, I woke up ta ye strokin' yer bow in my general direction. Now, I dunno if that was yer way ov makin' friends or not, but ye've been good company so far. I jus' dun' think I trust ye ta hold my life in yer hands. No hard feelings, boyo." Waving him off again, Kade waited until he moved back up to the roof before she attempted to make the climb for herself, and though it was likely less graceful than his actions had been, she did it all on her own. Cursing under her breath as she tumbled onto the tarmac, the blond immediately shielded her eyes from the sun and made quick work of returning to her feet. Once back to standing, she peered cautiously down to the streets below with increasing interest in the roving pack Vale had been so adamant to avoid before. "Reckon we could've found some rat kill ta do 'em in, if we had poked around."
Breezing a palm over her features, the woman blinked a few times as the area below was studied, and then shifted her gaze back to Vale. It wasn't difficult to meet his eyes, though she didn't do it for very long, preferring to linger on his figure between the incessant spew of conversation she seemed constantly absorbed by. "So, what now? We gonna camp out here fer a while, or we gonna hoof it as far as the roof'll take us." Glancing away to estimate the distance they had of attainable roof walkway, Kade added, "I reckon we could, mm... Could probably get far enough away ta scramble out ov here. What, couple ov blocks, if we're feelin' extra industrious? Jus' dunno who else is usin' this town ta squat in. It's got a lot ov nifty stuff. Wouldn't surprise me ta stumble across a nest ov dregs."
