"IM FREE! IM FREE! IM FREE!" Stolas laughing joyfully as they are holding Moxxie. Just spinning around. The pair of them in space. "FUCK YOU STELLA! I GOT THE DIVORCE! HAHAHAHAHAH!"

Now Moxxie doesn't like to be picked up. That fact is very known. Along with other issues. They make sure to try and remember other issues.

Unless things are out of hand. One of their teammates just grabbed them without thinking. Or they allow it.

They will let this slide.

While things are still tense between the pair of them. The pair were able to talk a few times. Moxxie was happy for them. To be away from that unhappy marriage. To have another choice that Stolas got to make.

Stolas hooting happily. He just felt so alive. So, free. He knows there will be some backlash, issues and be talk down at for daring to divorce. He didn't care. Can be snippy with the many divorces everyone else has done. Can be nasty and snide. It's not affecting his duties and work.

He doesn't care.

Now Octavia announcing her disownment on her mother and uncle side did shock him. Ready to jump at Stella when she tries to get at Octavia. The judge put a stop in time to that. He told his daughter, afterward, they can talk about it later. Along with going with her if Bael asked about this choice. She appreciated it.

Octavia seems happy as well. Yet, there was still some sadness in her eyes. A hint of longing. She was still young. That slight hope something could change. Yet, after her father told her about the assassination. All that changed her perspective. While there is still bitter resentment about how the cheating happens. Her father behavior in the beginning focusses on Loona father. That happy family image is gone.

Octavia doesn't want her father dead by that woman.

A lot of changes on the way. For both of them. It won't be easy but the pair can do it together.

Not fully alone.

Stolas pressed his face to the side of Moxxie face and nuzzle them. Happy hoots of enjoyment. Already talk to Blitz. A big congratulations and now back to the singles club. Then called Moxxie if they can meet up in space. Which leads to where both of them are now.

"Happy?"

"So, much Puppet." Holds them very close. No, longer spinning.

"Good Frogmouth." Pat the back of their head.

Stolas hummed as if they didn't let go at all. Sits down close to a rock. Rest their face on their shoulder and relax. "You don't have to wear the mask."

"Habit." Mental breaths about the closeness. Then began to squirm a bit and was Stolas cue to let go. The pair sit by each other.

"Right. Yes, a habit." Let loose a small chuckle. Eyes warm down at them. While their arms shake a bit. To pull them back but force it down. You got away with a lot today and even a head pat. Don't push it.

"You told Blitz?"

"I did. He very excited to do a divorce party." He was going to see about meeting up with him another day. Only able to do this if Moxxie was awake or not. Along with waking up. Right now, he just want to have this moment with anyone.

"Oh?"

"Yes, probably nothing too big. Just for all of us you know." Stolas let loose a small chuckle. "Who knows maybe we can change it up. I want to do something but I want to think about Octavia feelings. Maybe going out and she can have a friend over. Something for us 'oldies' to go do."

"Speak for yourself." Pulls their mask off. Just stare back up into space. Took their hoodie down.

"Fair I'm not that old and still look hot." A small giggle. Then a thought crossed their mind. "How old exactly are you for an imp?"

About to answer with I stop counting but remember that was as Error. Aging for hellborn demons was was odd in general but somewhat normal if you can figure it out. Not like the number matters but can for others. Along with the rare what legal or not since aging can be different for all species. Besides the sinners."Imp age. I'm twenty-five but I'll be twenty-six soon this year."

"Really?" They didn't expect that at all. "What makes Millie? I know Loona twenty-two."

"Millie just turns twenty-seven. Sallie will be twenty-six in like three months." Tilt their head. "You and Blitz the same age."

"I think a year apart from the other."

"Right your thirty-six." Moxxie tapped their mask. "Rattles would be thirty-two soon. Unless it different being a hybrid- "

About to point out how they seem to like them older. Until he had to bite their tongue. Seriously! Are you really going to judge them on that! They were adults dating. Aging is different for everyone. But it was another issue that actually hurt them a bit. At least the situation.

Moxxie doesn't know about Striker death.

Should he tell him?

No! Not today! Especially not today.

Oh, hey I'm finally divorced. Also, your insane snake fucker boyfriend dead. Don't cry! He didn't ask for the death even if they are still prissy about them. Hey it's been a while. Want to you know try going out? We can Blitz in the mix since they do like to talk about you. Or how about asking Blitz first to see where they are now at with all this.

That a big no.

A big, big no!

That is like a bullet to the shoulder. Or what worse, to never talk to them again!

Stolas hand moves a bit closer to grab part of their sleeves. A small hope to touch their fingers. Until their talons trace the glove fingertip.

"Thank you Moxxie."

"What for?"

"Just." A tired smile as he looks down at them. "Just for being there even during a time like this."

Stare up at them and go back into space. "Thank you as well."

Didn't push it on what they meant. Right now, just them. Able to hold their hand. Both of them at this moment.

A newspaper was thrown down onto a box. It was picked up. A page flipped till it reached the third page. The spiral eyes staring at the words of Divorce Goetia.

"She'll probably make the call again."

"Wouldn't surprise me either."

"Ha will be desperate. What you think Grillo?"

The hybrid aquatic that was one at the chair was now gone. Instas was moving forward out to the opening of a cave. At the edge outside it seems. Lift their face up to at the park purple skies of Envy.

They always do prefer coming back to the ring they are born in. Especially the waters. Even after leaving for such a very long time. The years of hard work. Demanding customers. The elements to overcome in the different ring environments. Along with their own jobs on the side to make sure everything was in order.

Order being the leader of the 40 Bandits of Thrym.

Order. Oh, how he enjoys that word and missed it. He always had run his operation a certain way. Sure, you can be a swell demon and be on your good side. Till you step out of line. That's how you lose a life. Took that kind of lesson in their head seriously, even when going down to Wrath. 

Being the leader of that time was amazing when bringing terror over others. From someone that was a non-imp as well and not native to the ring. The reputation. Stories of fear. The chaos itself left behind. Then the true fear they brought down but was too late while counting the money

Then it turns into a mess.

All because of that traitor 'little wolf' heart and consciousness. It really was a pity since they did like that one. But had to be let go. That was the first mistake.

Then that savage crew when the word spread out what happen. That was their second mistake.

How apparently, they went too far to pissed of thpaid forince of the ring himself.  Well, not just them but the ones who paid for them as well. Not to surprise they would throw them under as well, but did feel a slight hint of betrayal. No matter, it should have been expected. Just need to survive while licking up wounds.

One mistake after another. Lost control, power and even operation hideouts. That whole operation that has been around for decades ruin. Gone. Start over.

Able to find a few old surviving teammates still loyal. Along with newbies. Didn't like the numbers but had to work with the change. Work with what they got. Spread out again. One point was going to get paid back and hunt them down.

Then to learn 'Outlaw' was dead got in a way of some plans. But the photos did help to find that another imp. Blitz from IMP. Just had to wait as things were getting a bit out of hand, jobs and had to keep moving to not get caught. Stay undetected.

Along with the Savage division assholes to get off their back. That they may or may not leave clues for them to find. It was long. It was difficult. It wasted time.

But here they are now. Able to get back up again. Smaller. Yet, he was still able to work. Trick. Do a job they need to do. But the last one was a little peeved what happened a few weeks ago In Greed.

I mean yes, got that detail from the imp boss. Same one from the photo. It was very helpful when getting rid of the sinner. Maybe he should have mentioned he knew their ex-employee but time was ticking. That was another part of the plan too. If he knew they would have left the building. Would have told on their own to put in a car. But an exploding building shall do instead to make them think of some rival instead.

After that just plan with a few details to be able to get this job. While finishing up moving here. Do work. Work. Work.

Now a big assassination works if their client demands to speed it up.

"I really don't like being interrupted when I'm back home. Yet, a job is job that I graciously took from the Lady." Look back at the paper. The pictures of Stolas. Then another with Stella and her brother Andrealphus. Tail comes around to tap their chin. Flip the pages back up to the front page. "See what you can find out about this show."

"Got it."

"After that?"

Study the page till a smile appeared. "A few ideas. After all, why not give them a show? We always have to prepare it. So, let's give her what she wants."

"You sure?"

"Positive." Tail swooshed down into the water below them. Pull out a squirming fog like fish that ugly. Withering from being stabbed by the scorpion tail. Use the newspaper to pull it off and wrap it up inside. "Now can't think on an empty stomach."

"Um- "

"This one mine."

~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Ohhh! What was going to happen now?

Moxxie and Stolas having a moment together. Just hanging out.

Meet Grillo who you all scene a few times here and there. Well, here is the image of our hellborn hybrid aquatic scorpion. What a charming fellow they are with beef with a fellow hellborn you already know about.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
