You like werewolves, and yet you pick me up all of a sudden? Because that seems perfectly logical.

[BUT BUT. WHAT HAPPENED AND ALL THOSE FEELS. CHRIS. SERIOUSLY. Chris only frowns tighter, all humor gone from his features.]

It'd be probably best that you don't bring that subject around me, hm?

[weirdkidbarry]

Muns like to do things that don't make sense.

[followsthecode]

Just to make things difficult for us muses, I assume?

[weirdkidbarry]

Sometimes. Other times... they just don't know wot they're doing.

[followsthecode]

I guess it's the whole 'expect the unexpected' with these muns then.

[weirdkidbarry]

You could say that, yes.

Just watch out if they start to laugh and won't tell you why. Something bad usually happens when they do that.

[followsthecode]

Well mine has yet to do that. That's a good sign. For now at least.

[weirdkidbarry]

You're one of the lucky ones then.

[followsthecode]

I'm guessing your mun has had one of these laughing fits already?

[weirdkidbarry]

[Simon nods.]

She does it a lot. No one seems to notice like I do, though.

[burninhale]

It's a little strange. But... you are a man of honor.

So far.

[followsthecode]

I am and will be for as long as I live.

[burninhale]

And your father? Does his word supersede honor?

[followsthecode]

Some events have clouded his judgement. You'd know that personally.

[burninhale]

So honor means standing by and letting a blind man lead?

It occurs to me that some events have happened that may cloud your judgment.

[followsthecode]

...That is none of your concern.

[burninhale]

You're almost right.

But you're a man of honor, anyone can see that. You're going to sit down with Derek and Scott and have a reasonable talk about what happened, accept whatever they tell you, and come to some kind of civil agreement, I just know it.

[followsthecode]

[YEP just gonna look away now.]

[burninhale]

[So quietly—]

And maybe we'll all have the age old, time honored discussion that werewolves and hunters always have.

"You started it."

Won't that be nice?

[followsthecode]

[Tightens his lips into a thin line.]

I will do whatever I see fit. I have been after Derek for quite some time already. And I don't want Scott near my little girl.

[burninhale]

I respect that, Chris, I really do. It's exactly what I did: what I saw fit. Now, obviously we have different ideas of what "fit" means. The saddest part is that Derek and Scott's ideas of what "fit" means is a lot closer to yours than mine is.

But of course, you don't have to worry about me right now. Not in the slightest.

[followsthecode]

Let's hope not. I don't know if I could hold my father back from killing you himself.

[burninhale]

I think it's clear he wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone, even a teenage girl.

On a completely unrelated note, how do you see all this turning out for Allison?

[followsthecode]

I will be at my daughter's side when the time comes.

[burninhale]

Exactly what every dutiful father wants.

Not always how life works, though. I don't seem to remember you standing at her side when I was about to kill her. That was actually Scott that time, funnily enough.

[followsthecode]

[ouch]

I remember that she had perfect aim when she torched you.

[His little girl could hold her own but... Scott did protect her. Didn't mean he has to like the kid entirely. He just wants them to stop dating.]

[burninhale]

She did! What a trooper. You must be so proud. You can put that on her tombstone when she dies standing in the middle of this misguided three-way conflict between werewolves, hunters, and whoever's controlling the kanima.

[followsthecode]

She won't die. And neither will she get hurt by all this. I will make sure of that.

[burninhale]

You do that, Chris. You do that.

[studmuffin]

Could you not make my Mun do that squeaky thing? That'd be good.
