*somewhere in the main room of the mansion, the body of Erebus Hades (messofinnocence) is pinned neatly to a wall with two knives through his shoulders; he's been shot in the forehead and through the heart, at point-blank range, so the wounds are messy and the blood is copious, and Dio hasn't bothered to clean them up

*...obviously, the first thing to do once we see that is to go over and hug Dio, tightly* Fuck, Dio. *and that's all that needs saying for now*

[waragainstfaith]

*practically collapses against him, face buried in his shoulder, and doesn't say anything else yet*

[heavensbowed]

*murmurs, not letting go* What happened?

[waragainstfaith]

*muffled, then, but distinct enough* Erebus hurt Jordan. He cut one of his wings off.

[vacantheaven]

*...well, this is...by no means...good -- takes a deep breath and sighs, pretty damn mellowed in an instant, and makes his way over to actually sit by Dio on the couch instead of on the floor for once* ...hey.

[waragainstfaith]

*...gives him a crooked smile that's not really as genuine-looking as it's trying to be* ...hi. *hesitates, not exactly sure how to begin explaining this*

[vacantheaven]

*offers as much of a smile as he can really manage when there's a corpse across the room that he is trying not to pay attention to* If you don't want to talk about it, I'm not going to ask.

[waragainstfaith]

*shakes his head* That's my half-brother. He hurt -- *hesitates* He hurt my angel. So -- I killed him.

[thesamelie]

*...stops dead upon seeing that, and closes her eyes immediately because she can't see that, she can't -- and, without moving, barely audibly and shakily, but counting on Dio to hear her anyway* Dio? Please -- tell me he deserved it.

[waragainstfaith]

*does, of course, and -- only a little louder, not looking up* I think he did. He cut off one of Jordan's wings. I wouldn't have killed him if I didn't think he really deserved it.

[thesamelie]

*a little sharply* Don't -- I don't want details. I just -- *can't stop her voice from breaking a little* I just want to be sure that there's a really fucking good reason I'm not doing anything to you for this.

[waragainstfaith]

*flinches* All right. I -- think there is. But it's up to you.

[iwannabethe]

*wanders in purely for innocent purposes, and stops cold upon seeing the body* Fucking-- *reads the note, then looks at Dio shakily* What'd you...

[waragainstfaith]

*...glances up at him rather blankly* What did I...?

[iwannabethe]

*takes a second to answer, and when he does, it's a little angrily, because he doesn't know how else to react right now* Why is there a dead kid over there and why does he have your name on him?

[waragainstfaith]

*as matter-of-factly as he can, if still rather blankly* That's my half-brother Erebus. I killed him.
