Tale as Old As Time [Finished]

[yamikuronue]

"You're so full of shit. I know this fucking trick. You walk in here, do everything you can to rile me up, then insist I'm out of control because I won't stand for it. Fuck off."

[accalia]

Julie: You're right actually. I'm not here to talk to you. I want to talk to your wolf. Unlike you the wolf inside you is actually smart. So call him out and then listen up and learn something.

[yamikuronue]

"Well you and he can both fuck right off. This is my home, my body, and I won't stand for it!"

Oddly enough, the mention of his Wolf seems to have changed the nature of Lance's anger; far from being hysterical, he's pulled back in on himself, his iron resolve changing his voice, making his volume and pitch both lower, more even. He feels like he's on even footing now, more sure of himself.

[accalia]

Julie: Good, keep him on a tight leash. Remember that feeling of pulling in. remember the feeling of control, learn how to do that without the anger driving you.

Julie turns and starts walking away

Julie: That's enough lessons for one day. Remember that feeling, and if you can work out how to ask the wolf its name. that does tend to help keep it under control.

[yamikuronue]

"I want you out of my house!" he calls after her, grinding his teeth.

[accalia]

Jylie: fat chance of that! Whether you want to admit it or not you need me right now!

[yamikuronue]

"Pushy bitch," he mutters, shutting the door to pull back into his own room.

[yamikuronue]

By early afternoon, Morden's got some information to disclose about the finances -- but when Siegfried goes to fetch the Young Master, he returns to the dining room alone.

"Master Obsidian, a word?"

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian gave that a 'well, shit, something is obviously wrong' look before heading over to Siegfried. "Alright, what's the damage and how bad is it?"

[yamikuronue]

"He's gone," he says, softly. "And so is a drawer full of clothing and a couple of his swords."

[accalia]

Julie: Well, can't say i didn't expect something like this out of him. Obsidian, I assume you'll want a better nose than yours to track the boy?

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian cursed under his breath. "Sure....of course he is." He pinches the bridge of his nose. "First off, Sieg, any idea where he would go?" If they didn't have to track him down, it'd be easier to catch him than follow him.

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried shakes his head. "I suspect he'd go someplace I wouldn't think of, if he's trying to protect me."

[accalia]

Julie: he would do that. the wolf is winning, protect the pack is pretty primal and if he doesn't keep control.... well that's were we get ferals.  I had hoped i'd shown him the way to keep control...

[CalamityJade]

"I...am pretty sure he's not quite THAT bad. For one, if that was the case, he'd just try and kill you, wouldn't he?" Obsidian sighed. "But if he's trying to dodge Siegfried and get out of here, it'll be easier for you to track him than me."
