return to Consummation. O.O

[esau12]

Esau ran, for no particular reason, up to the door of the consummation house to check on how Damon was doing. He paused outside the door, feeling akward about whether or not to go inside. He looked at the ground, the sky, to his left, his right. Behind his eyes he was thinking.

He concluded to knock. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

[Bunny]

Already, Rebekah had muscled through the hallway of the dingy old motel, not even slowing her step to allow for Damon to catch up. She was a huntress, now, and was going to catch her prey if it meant risking her own li ---

Well, maybe not her life. But maybe limb.

She threw open the door to the outside, and had already started to swarm out when she finally noticed Esau standing firmly and completely in her way. She recoiled, and did not even bother to hide the disgust from her face.

"Hey! You're that infidel that I almost married. Go away," she shooed him as she had earlier after the wedding. "What, did 'ya wanna watch or something? Creepy...or...or..." Her hazel eyes glinted like muddy water catching the sunlight. "Or maybe you're here just trying to curse my baby. Well, you're out of luck, Mr. Blasphemer-Jerk!" She jabbed her finger forward, at Esau's chest. "We are going to Hemingford and are just going to steal a baby from there. So...you can't curse my baby since it isn't in my stomach yet!"

[esau12]

"Well, I am here to see Da-" It was then that Esau processed the words that came from Rebekah's mouth. In turn his mouth dropped open in astonishment.

Once he had gathered himself and his thoughts he spoke again, "I'm sorry, I must have misheard you. Did you say you were going to Hemingford to steal a baby?" At the thought of the action Esau's mouth once again dropped open when he finished the word baby. "Why in the wor-, How cou-? Well, you don't have to worry about me cursing you. I'm trying to repent. I realize our Lord is not one of forgiveness, but I hope He Who Walks Behind The Rows will hear and see my sincerity.

"But anyways, you do realize you can make a perfectly good baby, right? Why steal one from another mother? Wouldn't that be very un-motherly of you? I mean, it would probably make you the worst mother ever.

Rebekah knew for a fact that Esau was wrong. But really, when wasn't Esau wrong today? First he made up imaginary Gods, then he interrupts a wedding ceremony to tell Isaac something He Who Walks Behind the Rows already told Isaac, then he decides to be a peeping tom and watch Damon and herself doing-the-do, and then, when he is disappointed to find that he won't get to see Damon living his own fantasies, he accuses them of bad parenting and says some nonsense about how it is wrong to steal a baby from another woman. In fact, Rebekah was relieved that Esau was accusing her of poor motherhood. Since he was wrong about everything, his degradation of her was the highest compliment she could have received and it instantly lifted her sour spirit .

"Look, it's like Damon said," Rebekah growled, "I can't be the worst mother ever because I'm not a mother yet. And it's not like what we're doing is wrong. Hemingford is flocking with infidels and outlanders. The Lord chose us, not them. There is an innocent baby-Noah in Hemingford, and it will grow up and go straight to Hell unless I rescue it! Where's the sin?" she demanded. "If it is raised by its current adult mother, it will grow corrupted. Stop being so stupid and...uh...infidelish!"

[esau12]

OOC: I thought Hemingford was a cult too. Woopsy!

IC: "Oh, I see. If the Lord so chooses to use you to save another one of His children, then so be it." Esau said, he did not mean it, but it further backed up his stance that he had changed. "Well, I'll leave you to it," And Esau turned on his foot and began to walk away.

[Bunny]

Rebekah crossed her arms, satisfied. She supposed this was how Isaac must feel when he chased away evil. Esau had come and tried to talk her out of doing the Lord's work, and she, being beautiful, intelligent, modest, godly, and, the best wife and future best mother in Gatlin, had sent him away with just a mere wave of the hand. It had been simple.

Rebekah stiffened. Too simple. She never completed her goals simply.

"Hey! You get back here!" she called after him. She realized what was wrong. "Don't tell Isaac, Malachai, or anyone about this, alright?" She didn't think what she was doing was wrong, but she wasn't certain if Isaac and Malachai would share her opinion on such things.

[esau12]

Esau stopped walking, but he didn't turn around. He smiled, wiped it off, and turned around. "Why, I mean I won't, but why? You feeling regretful?"

[Bunny]

"Regretful?" Rebekah scoffed at the very word. "I've never done anything I regret. And I'm not about to start, don't you worry. However..." she paused here, and shifted awkwardly from foot to foot. She couldn't let the blasphemer know that she was concerned that Isaac and Malachai might stop her. "it's supposed to be a secret. See, we can't have anyone think Damon is impotent or anything. So they can't know we're stealing the kid. As far as everyone is concerned, I'm cooking it in my stomach right now." She gestured to her tummy.

[esau12]

Esau nodded in false understanding. "There's just one thing that puzzles me, why don't you two just make your own? I mean, why would you want to avoid the joy of carrying a life inside you, the joy of having something that is a part of you, in a way?"

[Bunny]

Esau was still talking to her. And, furthermore, talking as though he knew anything about the subject matter. Yeah, Rebekah scoffed inwardly, carrying a baby inside you might be great and all, same with having something part of you -- but first of all, you have to do some disgusting to get it there, and second of all, you have to do something painful to get it out.

"Why you trying to dissuade me, trash?" she challenged. "Does the thought of rescuing a child from the grips of hell displease you?"

[esau12]

Esau made a face that said "no, no, not at all." He then proceeded to speak, "Well, in my defense, anyone who has not been preached the word of He Who Walks Behind The Rows does not have the chance to deny Him, therefore they are excempt from Hell. Also, why not both," Esau said the following word with air quotes, "adopt a child and make one of your own. In doing so you are giving Him more children, and in turn pleasing him more."

[Sly Cooper]

Damon gather up things in the motel room he thought might be important for stealing children, like a blanket to wrap it in. Babies like being wrapped up tight, right? Then he headed out as fast as he could to catch up to his new wife, tripping on his own feet all the meanwhile. "Rebek--" he stopped as he saw Esau there, "What are you doing here?"

[esau12]

Esau saw Damon and he smiled, "Good to see you too, Damon. Well, I'm just talking to your betrothed, we're discussing your undertaking to," again with the air quotes, "adopt a child."

[Bunny]

"We aren't betrothed anymore!" Rebekah snapped, grabbing for Damon's hand. "We're married, thanks. You interrupted our ceremony, but Isaac finished it, 'ya know!"

Esau did nothing but get under her skin. Like, an hour ago she had been willing to marry him, and after actually talking to him she couldn't imagine why. She had certainly be lying to Esau earlier when she said she had no regrets: she certainly regretted becoming his fiance! He was such a Outlander inside the body of one of the Lord's Blessed. She'd feel pity for it if she weren't so disgusted.

"And yeah, we're gonna adopt a child. Do you have a problem with that?!"

[Sly Cooper]

Damon smiled softly when Rebekah grabbed for his hand, he squeezed her's back gently. "Esau, I thought you understood the ways of He Who Walks Behind the Rows. You said you understood you were wrong. Rebeka," he kissed the top of her head trying to rub it in, "my wife, and I are more-- comfortable with adoption."
