[ eddie whirls on his heel so fast that his dumb hair flairs out around him a little, and he fixes julie with a look. it's clear by the brief flash of mischief in his eyes that he's not being that serious, but he puts on a serious face anyway and scrunches his eyebrows up at her. ]
I'm easy to catch because I let you catch me like - seventy-five percent of the time.
[ they both know that's not true. eddie's not entirely useless when it comes to taking chase, but he's definitely not as good as, say, david or meg, and when julie catches him it's definitely because she's faster and outplayed him. he's really not that eager to die again, in a trial or here in this dumb garden with a meat monster creeping around somewhere.
eddie turns back around again, and just as he's about to step out of the rectangle of fences, he hears the not so distant sound of a dozen agonized voices. way too fucking close for comfort, but that thing could be a football field away and eddie would still hate it. he freezes, spins on his heel again and instinctively braces a hand against julie's ribs so she won't move, leaned in close. he says nothing, but the look he gives her, eyes serious and jaw tight, should say enough. ]
