The others were great, but third time's the charm! (Character Chat)

((kinda I guess he just says stuff and she has to say something back. And takes it and then snaps and it's really funny. Oops might just be me honestly

Clove angled her head at Runner while he inspected the Runes. "You see them?"
Hero got up to inspect Runner as well. "I mean, he could use some Caretaker training. Just a little sambo should get rid of the baby fat. After that, he'd have the ladies–or men–falling at his feet to get a taste. Don't you agree, Clover?" (They can understand her name, as that's the only thing in English )
Clover looked stricken. "He can't be serious."

"But you can see them, yes?" Clover asked, ignoring Hero's comments.

She handed him a cigarette and lighter. "Use this. See Runes clearer. Understand better."

"Maybe me knowing Russian will help the fact that I don't know anything about runes…" Athena muttered to herself.

Hero glanced at Clover. She translated Athena's comment, then Hero shook his head at Athena. "Runes aren't strictly Russian. Clover and I just happen to be Russian. They're all over the place. Hidden. Pretty much only us Caretakers know anything about them."

"I see. Thank you. I suppose that's all I'm going to get huh?" (Im also gonna italicize)

Clover shrugged. "If Temple accepts, you could be Caretaker trainee. If you want."

Her eyes lit up. "Really?"

(She's shamelessly trying to get new recruits. They're in desperate need for some)

She held up a finger. "If Temple accepts."

Clover shrugged and put the cigarette and lighter back. "Suit yourself. We go in Temple, yes? Hero and I will unlock. Announce your presence and ask acceptance."

Clover rolled her eyes while Hero got the gist of the conversation and proceeded to take off his shirt, exposing Runes carved all over his torso.
"I not ask to join. Temple is picky who enter. Want to do permission for you to enter to help kill man inside."
She took off her coat and fiddled with her arm, pressing into it. The artificial skin covering the metal folded in on itself and was inserted into a box inside her metal arm. Just like Hero's torso, Runes were craved over the sleek metal.

The two Caretakers walked up the stairs of the Temple. Hero glanced sadly back at Runner. "Ah, he's not gonna comment on my musculature? But I worked so hard on it…"
Clover sighed, just about done with her adoptive brother. "I highly doubt he cares about your 'musculature.' I don't even see the appeal."
"That's because you're no fun."
(Don't take it personally, Clover just doesn't see anyone as attractive.)

"hm I can kind of see it. The appeal. You know, if I wasn't fourteen."

Hero snickered and jogged up the stairs, pulling Clover along with him. Now she looked 100% done with him.

((He should care, lol))

((yaa he should. I gotta go until tomorrow I might be on a couple minutes here and there but I honestly don't know

The two Caretakers reached the Temple door and placed their Rune covered palms on the door. The Temple rumbled, then glowed a tad bit brighter, then opened the doors slightly, as if it didn't have the strength to go any farther. The two exchange a glance, then head on inside, beckoning for the rest of the group.

Their footsteps echoed on the stone floor of the hallway. The place was dim–near lifeless.
Clover narrowed her eyes and rested her metal arm on the broken pieces of the javelin. "Quiet. Not right." Hero echoed the sentiment in Russian.

Clover ushered him over again, heading towards a large and heavy set of doors. She and Hero pushed them open, straining against the weight. The next room was like that of a throne room, but instead of thrones atop the dial was a large stone obelisk, carved top to bottom in Runes. The Caretakers approached, kneeling before the obelisk and touching their heads to the cool stone.
