Lusius heard Draco scold him, informing him of how he was wrong but was he? [color=red]"I don't claim that you are wrong or that you taught me different. But don't claim that this is only out of anger. Look what she did to my house. How many witches have we hunted for the same thing and we're just to forgive her because she didn't use magic to do it? It doesn't matter in my eyes and you need to know that anger is not controlling me."[/color] As Lusius finished he took a minute to pause not because he wanted Draco to think on his words but because he felt wrong saying them. As soon as he said that hate wasn't controlling him his insides turned. He knew that was a lie and only saying it out loud made him realize it. After all who was inside him but none other than the culmination of all the hate the world couldn't handle.

[color=red]"Wait no... You're right. That wasn't me... I want her to pay, but not like this. She needs justice not a witch hunt. Just..."[/color] Lusius started as the Burning Man pulled away again and with that he knew what his mind actually wanted. He wanted Phoebe to pay, but not for the damage she tried to do but for the damage she intended to do. She would have destroyed his home and burned Shai alive for nothing but what she was not who she was. [color=red]"She needs to be stopped, but just... Bring her to justice not to vengeance. Please."[/color] Lusius finally confessed in the stable sense of his own mind.

It was then that he turned away from Draco to look at his tools ready for use so that he could get started on fixing up his home. [color=red]"And if you can. I could use some good treated lumber when you head back to town. I'll need to put in some good supports too for when I take out the bad ones."[/color] From there he picked up his ax and saw ready to start working into the night. At least for a little bit of it so that he could have a head start for the morning. And with Shai's promise of help they may actually be able to get a good bit cleared before it comes time for rest.
