Note Eight

[einspruch]

[It's late at night at the hospital. Klavier's asleep... but not very solidly. His hair is a mess, his face is tear-stained, and he's curled up, whimpering.]

[He's also muttering things in German, something along the lines of 'stop' and 'please, don't'. Klavier's flickering between the first and second levels, so anyone is free to ask wtf is going

[he chuckles softly, repeating the words Klavier was mumbling] "...stop"? "...please, don't"?

Trouble sleeping, Klavier?

[sciencetodo]

Piss off, Kristoph. Can't he have a moment's peace without you showing up?

[Emo!Ema is not amused.]

[derleibhaftige]

My, such rudeness and vulgarity. I'm not a bit surprised that you're merely a detective, with that disposition.

[sciencetodo]

I may be a mere detective but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Mr. Gavin is exhausted and needs his rest.

You should leave him alone, Kristoph. Every time you show up, things can only get worse.

[Crosses her arms]

Leave. Him. Alone.

[derleibhaftige]

[a chuckle at that] You seem to misunderstand his situation most gravely detective, and I believe I must refuse you this request.

Or, to put it in more simple terms that you might understand-

Make me.

[sciencetodo]

[Furrows brows, glaring at the man.] Misunderstand? How exactly am I misunderstanding, Kristoph seeing as you've not been in his life the past, oh, week? You obviously have no idea of his physical condition nor even his emotion state.

Barging over here to harass him is only going to worsen his condition.

Scientifically speaking, you're going to be detrimental to his health if this continues.

[Bites her lip, fists clenching]

I wouldn't want to test those words.

[Deep breath. You can't lose your temper now Ema.]

[derleibhaftige]

[and he laughs at that]

And whatever could you do to me, detective? Not only do you gravely misunderstand the boy, but you're also quite less threatening than a housefly!

[sciencetodo]

I may not be a murderer like you Kristoph, but I can be pretty threatening when I want to be.

I want you to leave. Now. For Mr. Gavin's well being. Whether I understand it or not is none of your concern.

Do not try my patience any more then it has been, Kristoph. I will not ask you again.

[derleibhaftige]

[and he chuckles at that]

No, I am afraid not, detective. I will do ever as I please, and you are powerless to force me to do otherwise.

[sciencetodo]

[That was it! She had it! Time for some physical force.

Here. Have Ema trying to shove Kristoph out the door, using most of her strength as well..she's smaller than he is.]

Out. Now. [push]

[derleibhaftige]

[he sidestepped it, grabbing her wrist vice-like and tripping her off balance long enough to wrench her arm behind her back and pull her close to him. Not a movement out of place, no effort wasted]

I have warned you, detective. Do not touch me again.

[and he twisted her arm, not enough to dislocate it, but enough to cause searing pain.]

[sciencetodo]

[She winced in his grasp, biting her lower lip to try and not make too much sound despite how much pain she was in. Ema knew there was an easy way out of this but how else was she going to react? She quickly attempted to dig her heel harshly into his food, not amused in the least.]

Taking advantage of me are we? Because I'm weak right? Kristoph I didn't think you had it in you to harm a woman. [She snapped, before frowning] Well then again I should have known better.

You're nothing but a cold hearted murderer. I can't even see how you can care about Mr. Gav-avin. You're using him for your own selfish desires, and you can't even recognise that he is in desperate need of rest.

But you take advantag-age of the weak don't you? [She struggled against his grasp, trying to pull away from him. She stopped for a second, trying not to think of what Lana'd say to her about this.]

[derleibhaftige]

[at that, he let out a pained gasp, almost punctuating it with a hiss]

This is a reason, detective, that they are considered "weak".

[he was biting the words off as he spoke them, before he let go of her wrist and pushed, again throwing her off balance and against the wall. His hand was against the back of her head, pushing her face into the wall and hissing into her ear]

I warned you, detective. You are trying my infinite patience. Need I show you how weak you really are?

[einspruch]

[Klavier wasn't going to stand for that. He sprang up and grabbed his brother's arm, trying to pull him off of Ema.]

Kristoph! Stop this!

[sciencetodo]

[No...NO. This was... she struggled more in his grasp. Wincing in pain as she tried to move away from the wall. Panicking as she screamed at him.]

Le-let me go! Please! I-I don't want to be used like this.

[It didn't make sense...or well not for everyone else. The first thought in her mind was about how much this situation reminded her of that dark office. She could swear she smelled blood - as little did she know she reopened the wound on her cut. Mr. Marshall...he..she couldn't stand to see this happen again.]

Mr. Darke please... let go. [She whispered, trying to kick away. So far Kristoph didn't have a knife to use to threaten her quite yet.]

1/?? lol multipart
