217 stepped out from behind the bushes. Klaus didn't notice because he was preparing to scale this tree
Aiden's eyes widen and he goes perfectly still, staring at 217
Aiden: ...I know you...how do I...?
217: "Mh? Can't hear you love~"
Klaus started climbing
Aiden touches his throat
Aiden: Oh...I-I can't talk...
217: "Pft, I know that."
Aiden: How...? Do-do I...do I know you...?
"Your voice was...lovely."
Aiden's eyes widen
Aiden: What did you do to me...?
"Mh.."
Aiden: What...?
(Axo didya die?)
