midnightblackdagger.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=chardev&thread=320&page=1Closing her phone, she pulled on her boots and grabbed her leather jacket. The ride to the manse was relatively quick and she enjoyed the fresh air rushing past her. The door opened as she strode up the stairs and she went straight to the door to the training center after a curt nod to Fritz. Pushing the door to Tohr's office open, she cleared her throat as an announcement to her presence.

Filing the papers from the the investigation,he looks up and sees his shellan walks into Tohr's office.Walking up over to Tohrs desk,he stands by and waits for her report.if they have found Xcor,then it was time for Tohr it take his revenge against the bastard.

Nodded to John Matthew, with a slight smile and turned his attention to Xhex, "You received my text. Good. I need to know. And I need to know now." Indicated a hand to the chair in front of the desk. "And before you decide to speak your mind John, I am going alone."

She sat, but she kept quiet for a minute. She didn't like his plan, going alone was suicide, which was why she didn't just take out the other Bastards and leave Xcor for Tohr. "I found them, but John doesn't need to speak up, because you can't go alone. You know it. It would kill Autumn if something happened to you."

Shaking his head,he slams his fist on the desk.Locking eyes with Tohr,he signs No the fuck your not,we spent all this time finally getting you back,we arent gonna let you get hurt,again.I go with you,or you dont go at all,your choice.Stalking over to the wall,he stares at Xhex and Tohr,whatever came outta his mouth better be something,not some bullshit about going in alone.

His stern expression softened. He still felt guilt for leaving John Matthew as he did. And returning to find his son was a full grown male and he had missed so much. Rubbing his knuckles on his forehead he turned to face John.
"I understand. I do not plan on waltzing in there with a bulleyes parked on my fucking head son. But I have to do this alone. The Brotherhood is short as it is, with Rhage having to tour with the King and Safeplace still so newly established."
He leaned back, his fingers once again trailing on Wellsie's name craved in the desk, "And I can just pull rank and tell both of you denied. And I will if I have to. But Xhex?" Rolled his gaze to her, "Your mahmen needs you here. And John?"
Back to him, "You and your shellan are still getting back to where you both need to be. And to be honest?" Tapped his fingers on the desk in resolve, "I can do this better without having to watch anyone's back. True?"

Had gotten the message and just gone to Tohrment's office. Raised a brow catching the last part of the conversation then leaned his shoulder against the door.
"Not to intrude, but one you texted and two? This convo clearly needs another set of ears." Nodded once then focused on Tohrment.
Hed heard about the current shit going down, also knew there was more to it. But was looking at the Lheyder they had just gotten back. Call him invested, but it mattered that his Brother was not only alive but intact. It'd never been said he'd go it alone, only that he had the go.

Wanting to argue, she locked her jaw and considered what he said. She didn't have to like it or agree, but there was little she could do once Tohr set his mind to something. He was right though, if something happened to him, her mahmen would need her. Autumn would be devastated if something happened to both of them. Her eyes moved to John and she sighed. Tohr was right, again, but she hated this and her eyes said so as she they focused back on Tohr. "Fine. I don't like it and you had better be damn careful they don't catch you before you make your move. They're in another abandoned farm house, same precautions as before, lead in the ceiling and walls of the basement so no dematting in. I'll give you the coordinates." She glanced up at Z when he came in. Good, maybe he could convince Tohr to not go alone.

Shaking his head,he knew that is was suicide,but,he did have a point,but having at least someone with you while you walked into a band of warriors,was a precaution.Looking at his father,he had lost him before,and now,he was playing on taking them by himself.Sighing he walks over to Tohr and stares down at him.You fucking die and leave Autumn and us alone,I will personally come into the fade to kick your ass from Dhund and back to the Fade again,you got that?

Gave John a smle and clapped a hand on his son's shoulder, "Spoken like a true Hharm. And a male and warrior of worth." Looked over at Xhex, "Autumn is not pleased with this. This, life, is still new to her. And war is foreign to her. In some ways, she is still quite like the sheltered chosen she once was."
Stands and faces Zee, "I need you to oversee the training center while I am gone. New recruites are signing up. Wrath wants to get the program back up and running. I need you to oversee that while I am away. I should not be more than a few days."

Had been watching him with an ever growing expression of 'Hell No', actually this whole thing was a clusterfuck. John was right, far be it for him to try and argue but on the same note, he felt blindsided. Shifted in place, glanced at both John and Xhex in turn then was back on Tohrment.
"Wait, am I really hearing this? And," paused putting his hand up "don't go all my family will be in peices without me. If you make it a group, Brotherhood effort?" Shrugged a little. "Just works better as a team. Even if your thinking detection, us?" waved that hand around then dropped it. "Against them? Better odds. Damn it Tohrment, if it were Butch after the Omega for the shit he pulled? We are a team."
Put a lot of emphasis on the last, best laid plans and all that. Lots went implied there but no need to rehash. Instead he went for the root of the problem.
"Plus, your talking like its days or weeks or you just don't know. Meaning your not even one-hundred about your odds." Hated this position and when stuff like this came up. "I'm more comfortable with safe odds."

Crossed his arms, leaning back on his far leg and looked down at the desk, "I hear you, true. But this is my decision. The King is aware. We will not risk the entire Brotherhood. And leave the shellans, the manse and Safe Place unguarded? Then have the Glymera see the king is unguarded because of our numbers being low? They must see not a tremor of anything other than business as usual. Patrols, which you will need to see to. The bastards would notice any change in routine. Any shift in numbers. A recon of one, is best. Correct Xhex?
Are we to skirt our duties?
Denied. And if you want to try to throw more shit bombs in my field of vision. By all means, go for it. But my mind is made up." Glanced at John Matthew, "I expect you to assist. You know the TC almost as well as Zsadist and I."

She watched John as Z tried to talk Tohr. It would devastate him to lose Tohr as well. All of the Brothers would feel the loss acutely. She couldn't agree with him going alone and least of all, not telling all the Brothers what was going on. Mentally shrugging, she knew he would do what he thought was best, especially something that he thought would keep his family safe. Leaving the other shellans and young unguarded was a huge no-no. He'd thought this through and he was right, there really only was this way.

Frustrated that Tohr wasnt seeing sense,he played the only card he knew.Clapping his hands,he started to sign.Your forgetting one thing,You need witnesses,as this is proclaimed by the King,you must have at least one brother to witness that,the old laws are absolute in this,you have to take one of us,and even if you order us not to,as a Witness to your Oath,I can proclaim by right to be there as an acting witness,if shit goes down,someone has to get your back,you aren't bulletproof,and as long as its two warriors they wont miss,it wont set off suspicion.He looks into Tohrs eyes,pleading with him not to go through wondering if his father would come back,just because he was stubborn.

Cracked his knuckles, staring into Tohment's eyes. Now he was damn torn. Without loosing contact.
"No. Hold up. Listen, when I went after the Mistress? No one came, I did that shit all ony own and no one even tried to stop me. John? I feel you but I feel Tohr too. I'm sticking by him on this one." Lids narrowing a little, face serious. "You clear that stupid is as it does. Cause I'm willing to back you, do what it takes. I get the need for a Rythe, Xhex? You and John both do. Don't tell me this hasn't been you at one point or another. I'm still all for one, but sometimes it needs to be the one for all."
Nodded to the Lheyder, he didn't have to like it, but he understood.

Gave Zsadist a nod of understanding and smiled at John again. "I am going to find Xcor. I am going to make sure that when I kill him, all of us have our chance for a pound of that putrid flesh before I strike the death blow. So no worries on the witnesses. We'll even have Fritz make those fucking finger sandwiches to celebrate after Xcor is gutted on our fine marble floors."
He clapped a hand once again on John's shoulder, looking into his eyes, "I need you here. For your shellan and her mahmen. As well as for the Brotherhood. It would ease my mind and hasten my return to know that all that is mine, is safe and cared for. True?"

His eyes flashed quickly, there were a few loose ends. Though he'd backed, his own need for semblance was over ruling what he'd said. Hand on Tohrmemnt's shoulder, something he rarely did, he dropped his voice.
"I need to know you've got," glanced back only as a signal, really meant damn near everything and one not in the room. "everything covered. Things won't be as they were. That wasn't straight, feel me."
Let go, but was still a variatable wall to his Lhedyer's exit. Truth was? He'd lived through this once, to get everything then allow it to slip through one's fingers was a bit shaky for them all. Turned his head and whispered
"Assurance Tohrment. For all of us, as well as what goes where. Yes?" Moved back and threaded his arms together over his chest.

Blew out a frustrated breath, "One walk into a shower of bullets, one swan dive into a river and they never let you live it down." Smirked and shook his head, "I am in love with my beautiful Autumn. She has healed the damage, and is causing parts of mine heart to beat that I thought never would do so again. "
Met each of their eyes, "I do not have a death wish. No longer. I do not need to go to the fade to find my love. For she is here, in the beautiful chosen with the grey eyes, the soft voice and the soul that soothes mine."
He reached down to pick up his duffel, "I have every reason to return. And return soon. But this must end. Xcor must be stopped. I cannot, and will not mate Autumn until I know this threat is gone. And once it has been addressed?
That beautiful female?
Her name will be carved on my back, and I will roar my love for her with each slice of the blade.
So leave me be, and let me do what I must do. Xhex, send the coordinates to my phone. I thank the Scribe Virgin for such as thee caring so much, all of you. But I have to do this."
He gave John a one arm hug, gave Z a fist tap and a nod to Xhex, and then headed down the tunnel, swinging his gear over his shoulder and demated as soon as he hit the night air.
