Having stayed at the Mansion once we had the females and males sent back to their families or to Safe Place and Havers' Clinic, I had dreams of having to fight with my dagger and realized that having just one would never do.
I woke from a nightmare where I was injured for not having enough protection. Being small, hand to hand would never make me a winner. I needed something more so I decided to go see Vishous. Maybe I could get him to make me a set o daggers like the Brothers have.
Headed downstairs to the tunnels and over to the Pit, I knocked on the door hoping he was in.

He'd been in front of his toys for days, literally and awake. Only searching out any more possible slave trade operations, found a couple and sent Rehv the info for the Shadows to 'take care of'. Was taking a quick refresher break, didn't so much need it as Butch had left the tv on and after the game ended some marathon came on. At first he'd ignored it with a big, 'Yeah sure, right. Monsters." Then as it continued had gotten kinda into it. Decided to call it 'productive curiosity' and have a drink while leaning agains the bar.
Which was why he'd dove for the remote instantly. Couldnt very well be caught watching some soap opera type thing. He'd never hear the end of it if that was... well pretty much anyone.
Grabbed the thing, hitting 'off' like releasing the trigger on a gun then started shifting off the couch. Finally got to his f__t, called out the "Come in" whoever was waiting for and went back over to his desk.

Having heard the TV on through the door, I waited. Then silence and the deep voice screaming to 'Come in'. I opened the door and stepped inside. Hoping to follow the voice , I went to the room where Vishous can always be found, the 'toy room'.
"Hello Vishous, I pray I am not intruding, but I wish to speak to you about something." I stood in the doorway waiting to see what he'd say.

Realized it was Selena before she found him, so was doing a long streatch while turning. Leaned on his knees with his elbows while raising his eyes to her's.
"Sure, yeah what's up." Nice thing about the Chosen was, not a lot of mental chatter. Mostly because for the latter part they just said whatever they were thinking.
While he waited, thought about all that. Monsters. Huh, well one thing was for sure. They got vampires way wrong. Disgusting. Really? Rows of teeth and all drooly? Couldn't they have at lest come close? He could get with the demons and other things but.. tilted his head. Did he have something on his face?
"What?" She was looking at him strange, or was she?

Stood there for a second just watching his facial expressions change. He obviously had something on his mind.
"Um.... nope nothing on your face." Glad Vishous didn't intimidate me like he did the other Chosen. Maybe it had to do with me being a sequestered scribe. I got to see the everyday workings of all the Brothers so even Zsadist and Rehvenge didn't scare me.
"I was wondering," well go ahead and just spit it out. "Um would you make me a pair of daggers to fit my hands like the Brothers have?"

"Excuse me?" Not often he was totally surprised, at all. Actually took more than a moment to compose himself, didn't move, but thought about that. "Oh, I get it. You want Phury to bust in here guns blazing. Ah.. have you asked him?"
He doubted it, seriously did, but there was always that slim chance.

"Well....um..... I haven't seen Phury since I've been back. I stayed at the Mansion last night but I am having nightmares. With what we all just went through, I had a dagger and did really well with it. I mean look at me.... I'm about 5 foot nothing. I'm little and for self defense purposes, if I had to go up against ....well you or anyone, if I hit you, it would feel like a mosquito."
Ok I'm rambling on here and he's looking at me like I just lost my mind.

Finally sat back, running his gloved hand through his hair while processing that. She had a point, same time Phury may just blow one. Then again he'd heard about all she had done, well too. Then latched onto one sentance like a lifeline.
"When and why would you ever have to go up against one of us?" Shifted, not feeling comfortable with this at all, especially with her innocent blue eyes practically pleading with him. "Plus, what real trayning have you had?"

"I know it is not often that anything will happen but I just think I'd feel better just having them."
Ok now I'm just drawing at straws, here. If I have to go to Phury, I'll never get them. But maybe he will understand. Then again, maybe not.
"I'm not saying I would have to go up against any of the Brothers, I was just using your size as a model. What happens if I'm out with one of the doggens and we're attacked by lessers. Then what? I'm mince meat. and the doggens can't fight to protect me."
Alright I'm rambling again.

Jesus, did these things always have to happen? It was almost worse than his curse, which was picking up her inner banter as well. Ended up turning back to his monitors, talking to her but wanting to avoide this as much as posssible. Lessers on steroids? No problem. Crime rings? Angering but exciting and manageable. A female, who's fought no less, asking for weapons? Problem. Jane had some, fact was he'd made daggers or the equilvlant for some of the other shellans too.
Thing was, Selena didn't have a hellren, making her's a doubly valid argument.
"I don't know Sel, it's a big thing. See where your coming from but really how often do you go up against anything without some protection. Plus, you'd need to learn how to use them. Properly. Seems no matter how it's cut Phury has to know. True?"
Felt a little like he was starting a conspiracy. Crap and more mainly because he was still endebted to the brother for the whole Primale thing in the first place.

As he turned back to his toys, I knew I was defeated. He had many valid points and maybe I'm just feeding off of the last encounter. I don't go anywhere but to the Mansion or Safe Place and Grand Camp so maybe I am jumping the gun here. where did I here that phrase? Doesn't matter. He's right, I will have to ask Phury and i don't want him and Phury to get into any altercation because of me.
"Alright, I understand. I'll ask Phury about it. But if he says yes, I'd want you to make them anyway. I guess I would need to learn how to properly use them too. Well anyway, thank you for your time."
Gets up and heads back out the back way into the tunnels and back to the Mansion. Hopefully I'll be able toleep without any more nightmares.
