SaDiablo Hall, Dhemlan, Kaeleer, (Saturday Morning, Fandom Time)

Feb 04, 2012 03:24

After the debacle of Agio (and the even more debacle-y aftermath), Karla had promised to keep Saetan, Lucivar, and Morton apprised of major events at Fandom. She might often interpret that promise as conveniently as possible, but there was no way that even she could spin the end of all creation as something other that a 'major event.' Which was why ( Read more... )

Warren couldn't help but smile in the face of words like those, as the rest of the people in the room seemed to drift out of his mind and he gave her hand a little squeeze.

"It all worked out," Warren decided, in a softer tone that was more for her than anyone around them. "I'm glad."

Which didn't really change what happened or how any of them went about it, but hey, you couldn't win them all, right?

"Well, we did have the entire school weighing in on that," Karla said, ducking her head a little even as she smiled. "And they were all on Team Warren, so it was kind of inevitable, I guess."

Yes, yes. They were both very cute. Lucivar was going to roll his eyes now and bluster on.

"So, according to our laws, the boyo made the right decision," he said flatly, ignoring the feminine chorus that rose up at that. "So why are we here exactly?"

"He did not!" Gabrielle yelled at the same time Aaron yelled, "Exactly!"

Which just had the two of them turning to eye one another angrily, leaving Chaosti to bristle silently behind them. On the one hand, Aaron was right. On the other, he was yelling at Gabrielle. Chaosti wasn't entirely sure which of his instincts were being triggered right now, damn it.

"He did what any Brother would do!" Aaron growled at her.

"That doesn't make it right!"

"According to Protocol it does!"

"Enough."

Just a single word. But it broke through the raised hackles and arguments, Aaron and Gabrielle stepping away from one another. Kalush gave Aaron a disappointed look and went over to offer her Sister an arm around the waist.

"Lord Worthington, would you care to guess why we're having this discussion?"

"I'm... going to go out on a limb and guess that it wasn't so that I could watch the boyos and the coven go at one another's throats over my actions," Warren replied, kind of staring at the chaos now, and feeling extremely uncomfortable about the fact that he was at the root of it.

Warren was pretty good at coming up with all sorts of things that this wasn't. He was also still mostly stuck on that creeping desire to maybe find a desk to duck under now.

"That's just an added bonus," said Lucivar, who'd always done his best to live up to the accusations of having a rotten sense of humor.

Jaenelle stepped forward, rolling her eyes at her brother. "I'm going to smack you extra hard for that one tomorrow morning," she threatened, before looking at Warren and weighing him on some internal scale. She gave no indication of what she'd decided, either. "So, Warren. You're sticking to your decision to stop Karla, even if you don't like how you went about it."

"With good reason," Sabrina muttered.

"How did you expect us to react to hearing that you--"

"--Kept Karla in Fandom and away from her people against her will," Morghann interrupted, stepping on Khary's toes.

Whatever reply Khary had intended to make was cut off by a yelp. Morghann smiled smugly at him, tilting her chin up with a smirk.

"--Something like that, yes," Jaenelle finished. Her expression still gave no hint about where she stood on the subject, but her voice did carry at least a hint of irritation.

Warren just shrugged his shoulders a little. It was probably no secret to anyone in the room that he was terrified just then, knowing that he'd been weighed and judged. But he looked up. Squared his jaw. met her gaze. And shrugged.

"I didn't think you would be happy about it," he replied. "But... at the risk of not making any friends in the room right now, I didn't care about what any of you would think, either. I kept her alive. Twice, once at the cost of my own life. And she helped save the world. Helped bring her people back into being. She wouldn't have been able to do that from here."

When this talk was over, he was going to just go and find himself a corner to curl up in and whimper.

Lucivar had nothing constructive to add here. He was just going to chortle and attempt to pat himself on the back a few times.

No, he didn't care if the coven and boyos were looking at him funny. BACK PATTINGS FOR HIM.

And some for Warren, later.

Karla, at least, knew why Lucivar looked so smug. "Don't hog all the credit," she told him, before wrapping her arms around her boyfriend and holding him tightly.

*A year ago, you wouldn't have thought that way,* she told him on a private thread. *And most definitely wouldn't have said so. And now you not only can do both of those things, but sound serious and defiant while doing so.*

Oh, Karla. You went and pointed it out to him! Now he was going to look kind of sheepish as he leaned against you, wrapping one wing around your shoulders and holding you close.

His legs weren't going to work later. Like, at all.

*Oh god I just talked back at Jaenelle. Please tell me I didn't just talk back at Jaenelle.*

He was serious and defiant and also doing a very impressive job of not wetting himself.

*Of course you didn't,* Karla soothed. *That's not what happened at all.*

Lieeeees.

*And anyway, it's not liked she's not used to being talked back to by strong and sassy males?*

"Well, personally, I think that was well-said," Lucivar drawled, looking at the darkened faces of the coven. "The part about saving her life at the cost of his own was particularly eloquent, don't you agree, Gabrielle?"

It was probably best for Lucivar's continued health and well-being that the only daggers Gabrielle was shooting came from her eyes. Because the Dea al Mon were deadly with blades and she looked like she'd be happy to carve a pound of flesh or two off of him for his insolence.
