Sebastian raised a brow as he looked down at her, slowly tightening the grasp around her throat as he began to talk. "My mother died to go to the hands of the man upstairs, not to wherever you Sherwoods end up going. And I assure you, Hannah Sherwood, that it is not upstairs." Sebastian clenched his jaw, letting out a heavy exhale as he had slightly loosened his grip, but still have a good one.

JJ looked around as he climbed out of the car, feeling as if he had an idea of where they went. Well, maybe not. Nobody was really around, and if there was anyone around, JJ would either be dead or be like how he was this morning - rolling on the ground in pain because he was jumped and beaten up just for being an enemy. He understood that, for sure, but he saw no point if he posed no threat towards them.

(eek short sorry about that)

Hannah had no idea about his mother. It was stage four cancer, a type that he couldn't seem to recall the name of by now. It didn't matter that she passed of cancer, all that really mattered was that she was dead, and Hannah Sherwood had no idea that he was still kinda mourning. Markus always brought up the apparent fact that Sebastian had changed after his mother's passing, always looking for fights. Sure he did change, but looking for fights was something he never really did. The fights always come to him.

"My mother passed away from cancer, you asshole." Sebastian said through clenched teeth. He glared at her, feeling more anger pump through his veins, which were more exposed through his skin than before. His gaze narrowed. Sebastian could kill her right now, seeing that she liked to tempt and push his buttons. He wasn't afraid of killing, not at all. It was a world of destruction they lived in, it would happen eventually whether you killed literally and figuratively.

Sebastian never really let something like this get to him, let alone to a Sherwood. But with the stuns pulled only so many minutes and seconds ago, something about her pushing his buttons threw him off for sure. She was confusing, but it could honestly just be her Sherwood nature. Whatever it was, it was sorta working and Sebastian didn't appreciate it at all.

Sebastian leaned forwards to her ear, getting a slightly tighter grip around her neck as he did so. "Talking assumptions doesn't help much either, does it?" He asked softly into her ear as he applied more pressure, looking down at her. He glared with the slight tilt of his head before he heard the distant sound of a voice.

"Cut the shit Adriel, we both know you won't do it"

His hands had slowly gotten tighter around her neck as she continued to speak. Killing her on her own turf would look bad on her, a shame to her family. Seriously, who let an enemy kill them on their own territory? Pathetic really, but her continuing to talk to him the way he was, Sebastian was pretty sure he was gonna make the pathetic Sherwoods back off, especially if he killed his soon-to-be bride, who he despised and didn't really want anything to do with. Apart from ending this pointless feud. This had been going on for easily a decade, since Sebastian was like ten, JJ being five then, and yet, nothing had changed. Markus didn't even bother to really help... Unless you count forcing your eldest son to marry some enemy helping, then you must be rather screwed up.

"I won't? Huh? I won't fucking do it?" Sebastian said as he continued to tighten his grip. He felt his hands become more and more tight around her through, only to begin to feel how much she would be in pain; she wouldn't be able to breathe. Sebastian showed no remorse in his gaze, much less really anything. His blue eyes were cold and distant, quite dull and lifeless looking. He didn't care anymore, and nor did he make any adjustments to his current situation or himself to show that he cared. Again, he didn't, and killing her would be a relief, to be honest. Pathetic of her to assume something, especially killing.

(short as well, all is good my friend!)

Sebastian felt her hand grab his wrist as she brought her knee up to his stomach. Sebastian grunted softly, his grip around her throat loosening greatly. There were so many words he just wanted to say and taunt her, but despite his upperhand in strength, she had the upperhand in knowing where to go if something was going down, and chasing her would be useless if she ran away.

"Sebastian?!" JJ exclaimed, seeing his brother's hand around Hannah's throat. Sebastian looked in his brother's direction, seeing the confusion and overall worry on his brother's face. JJ expected to see a dead Sebastian on the floor with Hannah gone, probably leaving some type of note with a snarky and sarcastic remark written on it. JJ shook his head before he quickly approached his brother and pushed him off with ease, as Seb had loosened up after Hannah kicked him.

"Markus is gonna be at your throat," he turned to Hannah, standing in front of Seb who had the urge to just tackle the Sherwood and beat the shit out of her, "and it already seems like you were at someone else's." JJ turned back around and gave Seb a slight disappointed look. He shook his head before giving an apologetic look at Hannah.

"Yeah well sometimes it seems like both of you need saving." JJ replied. He was rather bothered by the fact she assumed that he would just not worry about Sebastian. Sure it could get him in trouble, but Sebastian was really the only person in the world he had ever truly cared about. But he also had to remember, Hannah probably had no idea they were even related. Maybe she had already made the assumption, but regardless, it was none of her business.

"Nobody every said you were fucking scared of him, Hannah. You just manage to get caught up in fighting with him, no matter where you're at." JJ commented, glaring at Hannah for a short amount of time before turning to Sebastian. "I borrowed Hunter's car, it's where yours is." He said, giving his brother a disappointed look before he had turned back towards Hannah. "Look, I'm sorry if he caused you any trouble and he probably did, but this all started with me being here this morning so I should be the one apologizing," he shot Sebastian a short glance before looking at Hannah once again, "so we will be on our way." He stated.
