Emiliah Hazelbrush and Fenros
As the group made it back to the to the Witches paradise, Bobby was standing by his bar, looking at them as they walked in, "Looks like ye all had a rough time.... with the pack."
Clay had left. The death of his partner was.... a little distressing. That, and he needed to get his own wounds looked at. Senna had, apparently, suffered a massive internal wound.
"You might say that Bobby," said Emiliah, her voice more than a little testy. "Seeing how you sent us out there WITH one of them. How could you not tell me?" Towards the end her voiced seemed almost a little hurt. Although Fenros hadn't done anything on the trip back, she wasn't about to let that sway her judgement. No. Bobby was going to have to have a
very good explanation for all of this.
Bobby pulled his head back at Emiliah's testy tone. Realizing what she said, he rubbed the back of his head and "eh... I don't know....what yer talking a bout lass...." He glanced at Fenros, it was something he swore not to tell anyone unless given permission. Which made perfect sense....as it would make anyone a bit nervous. Fenros simply pointed to the bite marks left on his leather bracers.
"Bugger...." He hobbled over to a stool and sat down, looking at Emiliah and Emiliano. "It wasn't my secret to tell lassy." He looked at her with a plain look on his face as if that was all he was going to say.
Fenros sat down next to Bobby and let out a sigh of relief as he did, his side was still bleeding as Sophie came out. "Oh my goodness, look at all of you... you're all a mess... " She looked at Emiliah, who didn't seemed to be hurt, nor Emiliano but grabbed some clean cloths to switch out for Fenros's already bloody ones.
"Oh Dear.... who did this to you? This isn't a werewolf bite...." She said as she started to pull the cloth off, Fenros only nodded towards Emiliah,
"An over zelous Hunter." He said softly,
"Oh....Well you should have moved faster dear....of course she would have to strike as soon as she could." She said with a smile. Obviously not mad that Emiliah almost killed him, to her it was understandable. Having heard the first part of the conversation already. She knew he was part werewolf too. "Ill go get the water to flush out the silver."
"That isn't the type of thing you keep secret Bobby," she said, crossing her arms.
"Sophie knew as well? You both let us go out there?" Emiliah shook her head. That was a different problem all on it own.
Her eyes narrowing at Fenros at his comment.
"Over zelous? You were bit, had anyone else been bit, I would have downed them just the same. It is your own fault if I would have killed you, seeing how you chose not to disclose certain critical information," She took a deep breath. Looking back at Fenros
"I guess my next question is, what now Digard? Are you planning on staying? Leaving? What are you going to do?" Bobby folded his arms and was about to say something when Sophie piped in. "Of course I knew, I practically helped raised him, his brother and two sisters along with their mother Selena."
Bobby nodded his head, "Of course it's the type of Secret you keep! It was an oath with my best friend. Ye never break that. I trusted Hector Digard with my life, and Sophie's life as well. Even after finding out he was part werewolf. He never changed, nor did his kids...so it was something that didn't need to be shared. Because little pups like you would freak out. Why do you think this boy can lift such a massive sword so easily? Cause his mum fed him his vegitibles? HA!"
"Like I told you Emiliano..." Looking at the Parisi hunter, "This boy saved my life, and he was bitten then too!......Hence....why he bit the other wolf's throat out.... got a little to his head. First time being bitten and all. " He said chuckling to himself. Probably wasn't the best thing to say, as Fenros shook his head and covered his face.
When she then spoke to him he looked up.
"Why are my plans so important to you?" He said with a raised eyebrow. "Does me being bitten change my plans?""Just curious..." She said, little out a sigh, her mind jumping back to the forest.
"I guess, I have to admit, you are very powerful and useful. I want you to teach me how to banish demon wolves and demon...whatever else cannot be killed by mortal means," Emiliah seemed shocked at her own request.
"Not...that this means I trust you...yet," Fenros looked at her for a moment with a raised eyebrow.
"I can't simply teach you to the secrets of the melchizedek priesthood. You need to be ordained into the priesthood, much like a priest and bishop. And to my knowlege, only men is this priesthood passed onto."He glanced at Bobby and he shrugged, "Don't look at me, Hector was the one who Ordained me....He knew more about the order than I do."
Emiliah could feel the blood rush from her face and then back to it as it turned a red color.
"Well," she said with a disbelieving laugh.
"I guess I finally see what this is about," her voice getting low with a vague threat to it.
"If you wanted to be in your 'boys' only club so badly, you should have started with that," clearly, this wasn't the first time she had to deal with her being a girl being a bit of a problem.
"All I can say is, good luck, I'll be waiting for the tavern bard to sing of the fall of the great Fenros, who died hunting the coven because he was too proud to think a girl worthy of his special powers," She could tell that she was starting to make less and less sense as her temper started to get the better of her. Her anger always made her.... a little irrational, since she almost never let herself get angry.
She got up, heading to the counter to get her bag of lavander. /She/ certainly didn't need him if he was one of /those/ type of hunters.
Both Fenros and Bobby rolled their eyes as she started to go off on it. "Emiliah..." Bobby started as he looked at her. "He didn' t say you couldn't....he said he didn't know if you could...." He looked to Fenros, "It might be in yer fathers book.... "
Fenros nodded his head but then said,
"It would take her years though...." Looking at Emiliah,
"Do you know Hebrew?" He asked very flatly.
Emiliah paused for a second, seemly torn on staying mad or coming back. But the chance to learn was too great and she soon returned to her spot.
"A bit, basic grammer and words. I could have a basic conversation...and I...can read it, even if I don't always know what I am reading," she said, her father /had/ tried to teach her many different languges, but they were never something she looked forward to.
"So, you'll try to teach me then?" She tried to keep the excitement out of her voice.
"And, I'm hardly an old crow, I've got years left for learning," Fenros sighed... just what he needed, someone to teach. He was surprised a bit that she even knew Hebrew....or claimed to.
"The only other woman I knew who could use it was my mother....but it was through my father....and the bond of marriage, was the only way she was able to draw upon it." He looked at her for a moment to see if she would freak out even more. But decided it wasn't worth the drama at the moment.
" But like I said, to use it to the extent I can, I never heard a woman with the priesthood before, So this might not even work.""Done," she said, crossing her arms, sitting back as though the matter was settled.
"Let's get married, if that is what it takes," Fenros stared at her for a moment, lost for words, not sure what she really said. But a man in the corner stood up. "Wedding? I LOVE weddings....DRINKS ALL AROUND!"
Alltia perked up her ears and growled softly, "Like I would ever let that happen."
Bobby looked over to the man and said, "Shut up Jack!" Looking back to Emiliah a little shocked himself. "Yer serious lass?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I be? If marriage will help me kill a demon, then married I will be. I'm keeping my last name though." Said Emiliah, trying to think if the church was still open or not.
Fenros patted Alltia on the head and shook his head.
"No... We are not getting married. One, I don't even know you. Two....just no." He was thinking about Elina, but decided not to even go there...
"You're a pretty girl, But I am not going to get married to you just because you want to." "You were the one who even brought it up. We both know that things have been getting worse for a while. Anyone with eyes can see that. Right now, you are the only one who can fight those battles and you won't be able to fight all of them on your own," She moved forward in her chair.
"And it isn't that I want to marry you, to be honest I'm pretty indifferent to that part. But I can fight and think about how you'll feel when people start dying, like Senna did, because there weren't enough as strong as you," She looked him dead in the eye.
"If this is the best bet we've got, we have a moral obligation to take it," "It's not that simple!" Fenros growled,
"You cant just marry me and suddenly draw upon it! It will take more time than that. " He looked away. Wondering why he even brought it up...
"It just wont work, and don't dump Senna's death onto me, I told her not to go pick fights in the dark but she thought she knew better....THIS IS WHY I WORK ALONE." He said as he slammed his fist on the table. The recent death of his Best friend coming back to him like a suckerpunch. He stood up and winced in pain from the silver in his wound.
"I wasn't blaming you for Senna's death, you couldn't have known how...stubborn she is-was," She nearly jumped when he hit the table and stood up.
"And like working alone would have worked for you tonight. Like you would have stood a chance without me covering your back the /entire/ time," He turned his head to her,
"I've been through worse." He growled as he started for the door.
Emiliah stood up to follow him
"Okay, you might have survived, but think how many more werewolves there would be in the world. Those two girls in the forest for starters. Don't even try to tell me that you could have fended off the wolfpack, fought the demon and saved girls. You wouldn't even believe that lie," Fenros stopped and hung his head, she was right of course, but he didn't admit it. He wasn't even really thinking on a retort, as he was wondering why he was so angry, thinking back to his friend who recently died. He was usually better at holding in his feelings.
"ENOUGH." He said... He was silent for a moment, he didn't know what to say, he didn't even know what they were arguing about at the moment.
"I-I need to sleep... I cant think straight. " He said just to get out of there. He opened the door long enough for Alltia to slip through and slammed the door behind him.
