tw. mention of death
Could Edmund say that he felt safe anymore in Flintlock Lodge? No; but could he say he ever really felt safe at all? Not really. Especially after all that had happened over the past few months, it was beginning to slowly take a toll on a man who tended to keep everything to himself. Shut away within his mind, locked with a key before Ed swallowed said key. And so, perhaps he'd be pessimistic towards those who truly believed that Flintlock was some beacon of safety - sure, perhaps it was, but only as long as Edmund was out of the picture entirely.
But, he couldn't just leave now. He had responsibilities besides his own family's issues, and they weighed him down like an anchor at the top of this mountain. All Edmund could do was be man enough to deal with his problems. At the sight of a pregnant woman making her way up the mountain, Ed was no more soft than if it were anybody else. Rifle at the ready, his brows knitted together as he wandered over. After all, nothing was what it seemed; he'd already learned that the hard way. Maybe she wasn't pregnant; maybe she was carrying weapons against her torso or something. Anything.
Paranoia was not a good look on him.
❝ Have you got any weapons on you? ❞ Edmund questioned curtly as he stopped a short distance away, rifle in his grasp. He'd not raise it and aim, but he always had to be prepared to fire if necessary. His complacency with his rifle had killed his brother only a week ago. Edmund would not make the same mistake again, even if it did make him a little trigger happy.
