Alexander Donovan: Alex steps back into the main part of wherever the Thomas Clan has made camp, arm around Tony comfortingly. He's wearing a much looser T than he normally prefers, but the stiches get caught enough as it is.

Antonio Pavlatos: He looks better now that Alex is here, and they talked, some color in his face, although he is still shaky as hell.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: The camp, for now, is the apartment that used to be just Bliss's, and generally, a crowded apartment it tends to be, with Bliss, Aerin, Michelle, Annette, and sometimes Kelsey and Andy there. For now, luckily, it's just the three of them. ((DD for the apartment coming after this post)) Aerin has been waiting for them in the living room...the man got absolutely zero sleep last night, and it shows. He looks even more tired then usual. He made a brief phone call while Alex and Tony were off on their own, and is just slipping the phone away as they come back, nodding to them.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: The apartment is goodsized, but not huge. The living room is ahead of the door, and the open doorway to the kitchen on their right. The kitchen is spotless, blue tile and brushed steel. The living room is dark earth tones, woods with rich grain, dark brown courderoy couches. The walls are fainter colors, browns and oranges in a mottling of tones - and a handpainted red and orange dragon on the wall you would be facing if you were at the door. It makes for an unusual living room.

Alexander Donovan: "Thanks for the backup. I might have to stash some water in that little passage in case of future fuck-ups."

Antonio Pavlatos: His eyes shift first to Aerin's pack of cigarettes, and he looks at Aerin, reaching for them, but not touching them until Aerin's nods.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods to Tony when he goes for the cigarettes with a brief smile, and looks back to Alex. "Not a problem, Alex. So the police cleared you of charges, too? Any idea what's going on with those cameras?"

Alexander Donovan: "The cameras went out during the party last week. Still out. The owner didn't even know I went back downstairs, and she was in the building at the time."

Antonio Pavlatos: He quickly takes out a cigarette, lights it with a shaky hand, then moves over to sit next to Alexander, staying quiet and taking very deep drags on the cigarette.

Alexander Donovan: "And all our names are out. Too many people running, they only grabbed us since I matched a description given for the fight earlier... which I was in."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods and sighs, relaxing a bit at that. One problem solved. "Thank the Goddess for that, at least." He runs a hand through his hair and leans back on the couch. "So what was with Keith there? I didn't realize you guys were that close, that you'd trust him with Tony."

Antonio Pavlatos: He stiffens slightly at the mention of Keith's name.

Alexander Donovan: "We have an... arrangement. I trust he's not stupid enough to try anything, at least not with me less than a thousand miles away."

Alexander Donovan: "And he was about the only person upstairs who I knew wouldn't throw a panic attack getting me a change of pants through all that."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Yes, your arrangement." He nods a bit. "He told me...a bit about that. There's a few things I think need to be discussed about that."

Alexander Donovan: "Figures that wouldn't last."

Antonio Pavlatos: He finishes the cigarette in record time, putting the butt in the nearest ashtray, but seeming to at least relax a little more, at least as much as he can until he gets to the Hummer, and his meds.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He purses his lips for a long moment, organizing his thoughts. "Here's the thing, Alex. I told you that Keith was Adrian in confidence, for a couple reasons. First, so that you would be aware, and wouldn't trust him. Second, so that if something...happened to me, there would be someone to drop the hammer on him, should the hammer need to be dropped. I...didn't exactly realize you would tell him you knew about the vampire situation, which of course only could have come from me. That eroded a lot of the trust he had in me. That, I take issue with."

Antonio Pavlatos: Tiny voice, "I knew... or knew somethin' was up with 'em... when he come in that night... at the club. When he waved at ya..." (Damned good empathy roll, which revealed some familiar things to him about Keith, but he didn't know for sure yet who he was, just that he knew him somehow)

Antonio Pavlatos -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (he had told Alex about Keith, or something about him just right before Aerin told them. He didn't say anything before because there was no need since Aerin told them)

Alexander Donovan: "I told him I beleived him when he said they existed. That was the extent of the information I volunteered. As for the rest, he was taking a few steps back to his old self. Between the vagueness of the information I had, and the usefullness of keeping him around, I reminded him about how easily his past could catch up to him. I figured if your barrel wasn't enough, I'd give him another one. If that wasn't enough... well... so far, it seems to be."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Antonio Pavlatos: ((Fair enough. Doesn't help me, because I know that. Aerin doesn't. Point is made, though. *S*))

Antonio Pavlatos -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (Just wnated to let ya know - I was so tickled that Tony had caught that, since he uses perceptioon and empathy on everyone, but then almost the same day Aerin told them! lol But he was proud to have at least been right.)

Alexander Donovan: "I wasn't aware that you wanted me to particularly keep quiet. My other choice was to just run to you to let you know that A) Someone accused him of raping a girl at a party, and B) that someone dissappeared within a couple of weeks of making that accusation. An accusation which may have caused his band to get fucked."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He considers this, and nods. "I think you're underestimating him, if you remotely trust him to be anywhere around Tony when your attention is otherwise, Alex. And you're underestimating how dangerous he can be."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Keith told me all of that of his own volition, actually."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Antonio Pavlatos: ((*G* Nice.))

Antonio Pavlatos: "I ain't supposed to be around him, I weren't with him at the club, he came in with the one that jumped on us. He just knew where the room was, 'n if it was too dangerous fer me, Alex said to get Keith to help 'till you could get there." Soft tone.

Alexander Donovan: "I don't trust him. But he's not stupid either. Cops coming, me nearby and already.. in a mood... and I wanted to see how he'd react in such a situation. Besides, I always have an ace. Saw someone upstairs who'd have... probably... intervened. If only to rack up me owing a favor."

Alexander Donovan: "Then I did underestimate him. Turning his watchers against eachother... not bad."

Antonio Pavlatos: He drops his head, "I woulda stayed by the car, 'n let him take 'em in, but I... I wanted to be with Alex, 'n ya said to try to get back in. I didn't mean to go against anyone, 'cause I ain't supposed to be with him."

Antonio Pavlatos -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (And therein lies the problem. Alex said to get the pants out of the Hummer, and basically meant for Keith to bring them back to the room. Tony came back in with Keith on his own.)

Antonio Pavlatos: He drops his head then, putting out the cigarette, and goes quiet, having confessed, but he couldn't let Aerin think that Alex approved of them being together. He curls up on the couch

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods to Tony, and then shrugs to Alex. "I figured he'd try it. He more came to me about the rape and disappearance because he figured I'd find out eventually anyway, and wanted to make it clear he had nothing to do with it. Which I believe...he wasn't lying on that one. Just be careful. Consider that Tony and Keith ran around the building to get to the back door. They were outside the club together...imagine what Keith could have done in that situation, had he wanted to. And if he'd known the cops were there--which he didn't, but there was a risk he may have--he'd have known we could have gotten caught, and he could have been long gone before we figured out what was up."

Alexander Donovan: "Oh, I beleive he didn't have anything to do with the disappearance. He's more afraid of going back than he is of us I think. He wouldn't have brought the extra attention to the rape if it looked like it was blowing over."

Antonio Pavlatos: At Aerin's words, he looks miserable, but he doesn't say anything else.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles very faintly. "There's very little he's not more afraid of then me. Perhaps prison, though, is on that list."

Alexander Donovan: "Of course, can't say I'd relish being in one either... "

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Me, neither." He takes a long, deep breath, and sighs. A small, supportive smile is sent Tony's way. "How are Tony's medications for his dependancies going?"

Alexander Donovan: "There's working great, but I have to go back for the hummer. Been hitting mass transit, and giving the cops a bit of time to get relaxed before I go back for it."

Alexander Donovan: "That's where his bag's at."

Antonio Pavlatos: He manages a smile back to Aerin, although he still hates it for Alex taking the blame for his own decision. His face shows he won't be trying to make his own decisions like that for a while, if ever.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "That's good." He nods and smiles a bit. "I was just worried after last night. He was...a little upset, to say the least. Understandably, of course...don't take anything I'm saying as an accusation. Just asking because it's better to know something then to think it. Now...what about the people who were down there when you shifted? Some of them are going to remember...I know the Delirium doesn't affect humans as well for you as for my kind."

Alexander Donovan: "Oh, it does for the most part. But no, I didn't take my hunting form. But most seem to be talking about a guy with a knife, at least for the police reports. I was worried a bit because those crowds tend to be a bit sterner than most. Either to accept the things being done, or to hold back from doing more... but that doesn't seem to be the case. Though Jeff may have played a part in that. Do you know how he managed to outrun me?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He shrugs. "Maybe he knows the Limelight better then we think...maybe some humans got in the way. Maybe he's just very fast...I'm not exactly sure. I don't know who Jeff is. Never met him."

Antonio Pavlatos -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (I already told you that he would have been still talking a little about horns and hooves while in jail, but the fuzzy state he was in, it was leaving him. But if Aerin asked this morning, he would concentrate, but not seem to remember seeing that, or hearing hooves)

Alexander Donovan: Alex frowns, none of that sounding right. "Freind of Keith's. And one of the ones goading me last night. Though Keith was all but begging him to back off."

Alexander Donovan: "He could see Ziahl's teeth."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Antonio Pavlatos: ((Yep. And Aerin, who actually knows nothing about Fae, is assuming it to have been drugs Tony was slipped or something. He knows of no shifters who have horns and hooves, and he knows of nothing else who have the ability to make memories fade like that.))

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He sighs. "Ziahl...isn't exactly subtle about who she shows her teeth to, Alex. She caused a huge Veil breach of her own a while back. Unless you're meaning it in a very different way."

Alexander Donovan: "No, I mean she was standing there, in homid, and he was tirading about her teeth.. and how he was looking at them right then. And yeah, she near freaked at that."

Antonio Pavlatos -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (Maybe, but then he wouldn't have been having withdrawls from not having any type of drugs - and hopefully he will find some way to repeat what Jeff said about his 'pussy' making Alex feel pain just before they split up and suddenly at the door Alex sees all this blood. Mickey in Tony's drink, maybe, but Alex wasn't even drinking liquer, but a Virgin Mary - awfully weird unless Alex went suddenly psycho)

Antonio Pavlatos: He remembered that, and glances up again. She even asked him if there was something with her teeth.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Antonio Pavlatos: ((Lots of drugs that wouldn't cause withdrawals. As for Alex suddenly going psycho...full moon. Yes, I think Aerin would consider that a possibility that Alex just lost it. *S*))

Antonio Pavlatos -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (Oh great, about the only shifter around that doesn't have mental hangups of one kind of another ends up looking the crazy one)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Maybe he's a sorceror. Maybe he's just intuitive...or possibly, Ziahl had done something while he was there, and he was using that time to bring it out. I don't honestly know...hell, maybe he's just insane and meant something entirely different from what he did. I certainly know of nothing that can see our other forms without us being in them" He sighs. "It's something to look into, perhaps."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Antonio Pavlatos: ((Every shifter has hangups and can look crazy. It's called Rage...blessing and a curse for a reason. :) Aerin's certainly had Rage issues before...he doesn't frenzy often (has only ever once), but that's because he has a Rage of 4, and needs 4 succ to Frenzy. And now, is at +1 diff to those rolls due to being Adren.))

Alexander Donovan: Alex frowns a bit at the brush off. "Anything else you need to know?"

Antonio Pavlatos -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (Well, he had done really good up to that point - two guys screaming in his face, then getting punched, then more screaming in his face, but he was calm as he went toward the door and then suddenly freaked! lol He'de already used WP to hold off the other high roll. Weird time to have done it, unless he really thought Tony's throat had been cut somehow. Best roll he has had in weeks, and on a Rage roll! LOL At least it wasn't a Wyrm frenzy)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He sighs. "Alex. I'm not saying this is something to just ignore. I'm saying that the other night was a very rough night, and a lot of shit happened. Considering the delicate nature of it all, the potential Veil breach, and a lot of other things that happened, not the least of which is the fact that I'm admittedly short-tempered due to Luna's fullness and the fact that I've gotten no sleep, I'm just saying, let's not hop on the 'hunt down this Jeff guy immediately' bandwagon. As significant as it may be, there's other things to be worried about. And I'm not interrogating you. I'm trying to clarify some things in my mind. I'm still on your side, but you've left me in the dark on a lot of things here. And there's some things that are worrying me in general."

Antonio Pavlatos: He's still there, but quiet as a mouse curled up against Alex, occassionally shivering like he is cold, but then he's snitch another smoke, and it lessens.

Alexander Donovan: "Aerin, If I thought you weren't on my side, I wouldn't be here longer than it took to pick up Tony, and I wouldn't be answering any questions... and I don't think you'd offer up great loads of things to me if our location were in Kenya instead of New York. I'll try to ease what worries I can, but I have a few of my own. I AM walking a bit of a tightrope here with all the politics, not just mine and yours, but that damn treaty as well."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He shakes his head. "You're wrong there, Alex. My trust is the same, wherever I am. And I've put a lot of trust in you, telling you things and letting you into a lot of my life that few others have been privy to...even friends I've had for a long time here in New York. Trust doesn't come easy to me, but I gave it to you. And I don't know that I'm getting it back, because whenever I try to be reasonable and look at the big picture, I get looks and questions like that, or get told I'm being sanctimonious for having the gall to consider the well-being of the humans we try to save from the Wyrm. I only get called when I'm needed, and that's almost always by Tony, not you. In the meantime, I'm hearing about the fact that you've allowed Tony being led around by Damien, a damn willworker...something that if the Sept found out about, they'd act and quickly. I've been good enough not to bring it up, because I trust you. But you've got to show me some back. I'm a person, not a blind resource to be used, but sometimes, it seems that's the only time you call on me. As to the treaty...it was your choice to join. I just told you about it and what it meant, and how to get in contact with Jody. You didn't have to. Now, what worries do you have that I can address?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((The 'loooks and questions like that' referring to the frown and "Anything else you need to know?"))

Antonio Pavlatos: He looks up abruptly at Aerin when he mentions Damien, blinking rapidly, the cogs in his brain working quickly. Will Worker - like that Jim with Dante. His eyes tear up a bit, bottom lip trembling, and he looks over at Alexander nervously.

Antonio Pavlatos: (x-tra long post, just to let you know)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((No prob. :) ))

Alexander Donovan: "The comment about being sanctimonious was flippant. I appologize if it offended you. Being concerned is well and good, but there is also a time and place. For being called only when needed, Tony has spent a great deal of time with you, getting to know you and Ethan... though only a little the rest of your pack. Lately.. not so much. As for Damien, most of my lovers are plain, normal humans. Mostly one night stands. Damien, I found out about slowly. And to be blunt, my people and yours seem to disagree on humans being more dangerous because they have unique talents. I have done my best to be sociable with you and yours. Came to your aid the one time when you called me."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods. "Yes, you have. And I understand. Keep in mind, I was very open-minded about willworkers. Until they fucked me seven ways from Sunday, on a constant basis. Damn near killed me a couple times. They're not all bad, but no, I don't trust them any more then I would a sugar addict with a nuclear bomb and a chocolate-coated launch button. Not because of some problem the Garou Nation has with them, though it does seem like our Caerns have been raided much more then your Den Realms." Yes, he somehow seems to know that term. "But all of this is irrelevant, because it's not what I think. If I had serious issues with it, I'd have stepped in. It's what others may find out and think." He pauses for just a moment, looking straight at Alex. "And here's where we're going to disagree. The time and place for being concerned about humans who were hurt because of us? Is always, and anywhere it happened."

Antonio Pavlatos: He keeps his head down, but already has that sinking feeling in his stomach - another of his few friends lost, clearly written in his posture.

Alexander Donovan: Alex thinks about the last statement for a few moments, trying to phrase this in a manner that won't result in the moon encouraging a bloody battle here. "If Ethan were in danger, would that concern be greater than your desire to get him out of danger, especially this time of month?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He does tense, as a natural form of habit...but he thinks about it a long moment, trying to honestly weigh it. "I would be immediately concerned about Ethan, of course. And I would have had someone else get him out, while I helped what humans I could have." He nods, seeming fairly confident in his answer. "It would have driven me insane, but I would have done it that way."

Antonio Pavlatos: He does murmur softly, almost to himself, as if for once not listening to what is being said now, "I was over there some, had to anyway... to get my meds, Damien's roommate makes 'em fer me. Now what do I do? I done the soap carvings... was supposed to go there 'n get some more next week, alittle less strong she said. She knows 'bout people like me." He digs down in his pocket, fingers going around something, and rubbing it hard. (no not there, his real pocket)

Alexander Donovan: "Well, the insane part hit me first. It was either random violence upstairs, or choke on it long enough to get down to the source. By the time I came too... any positive impact I'd have had trying to help would have been outweighed by the negative. The first rule of helping others is to not become the next victim needing rescue."

Alexander Donovan: Tony: "We continue as we were, until and unless a viable alternative is presented."

Antonio Pavlatos: He looks at Alex, and nods, "I'll ask... Jez to get me more of that other stuff." Very quiet, trembling tone.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks to Tony. "Listen...Tony. Calm down. I'm not telling you guys to do anything at all. It's not my call to make. Personally, I keep as far as a distance from willworkers as I can...unless I really, REALLY need them for something, and then it's quick and with as little contact as possible. But I'm not you, and I'm not Alex. I'm not making the call here. I'm just telling you to be very, very, VERY careful. And that's because I, personally, have been fucked by them too often. You gain a bit of perspective when someone chairbroils you within inches of death with their portable video game system." He looks at Alex. "Personally, in that situation, I would have choked it down, gotten Tony to safety, and lost it in an alleyway or somewhere similarly abandoned. But I'm not going to throw blame on you for that. Rage is our curse, after all, as much as it is our Gift."

Alexander Donovan: Alex rubs his eyes a bit as the emotional roller coaster ride continues.

Antonio Pavlatos: "Mr Aerin, he thought he cut my throat... that's when he lost it... they did all that to him, 'n he handled it, walked away... wasn't until it was me that made him lose control... it's my fault, not his."

Alexander Donovan: "I've had a couple of encounters, but none quite so bad. But I wouldn't blame Damien for them anymore than I would blame you for Arn chasing Tony out of the park. We're not going to throw that kind of pressure on Jez, not when we have something legit and fairly straightforward to work with. You asked me what my concerns were, and they're fairly simple. I've begun to feel like I'm a bit of a token. Someone that can be paraded about as to how open minded your people are here, without the opprotunity to prove myself. You mentioned Den Realms and Caerns? Well, my people hold Caerns. And they held them against attacks from your people fairly recently, I have offered my help, but I'm getting few opprotunities to stretch my claws."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No, it's not your fault, Tony." He sighs and runs his hands through his hair. "Or perhaps it is, but only because he cares for you, and seeing you hurt made him angry. Which I do understand." He does give Alex a look of empathy at that. "I can't say for sure I wouldn't have done a similar thing...I know that my first thought would have been to get Ethan to safety. But I may have lost it myself. It is possible...like I said, I'm not blaming anyone here."

Alexander Donovan: Alex blinks for a moment, his brain fogging over those memories, vainly trying to put together the sequence of events. But between the Frenzy and the Mist. "No Tony. Seeing you hurt that close to the full moon... it would only be a matter of time."

Antonio Pavlatos: Murmurs, "Then we gotta stay home more when it's like that... I don't mind. Lessen ya got business ya gotta do."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods. "I can try, Alex. I can try as much as I possibly can. You do have to realize, in case you don't...I'm not officially a part of the Caern here in the city. I'm a representative from another one. One that is home to many people who would likely make Tony, from what I've gathered, very, very uncomfortable. Yolanda and Tony's people. So taking you guys to my Caern is not an option, and I don't have an active decision in the Caern here. But I will see what I can do."

Antonio Pavlatos: He does look up at Aerin then, "Yolanda... Fury?" The last word said very softly.

Alexander Donovan: "Given your own level of activity here, I think your words will carry more weight than you give credit for. And I thank you for it."

Antonio Pavlatos: His eyes dart around the room, especially into the shadows as if he suddenly feels he needs to make sure that they are alone in the room.

Alexander Donovan: Alex looks at Tony then, one of those moments when the boy still manages to surprise him with something. Watching his reaction carefully whenever Aerin responds to the question.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles faintly. "They'll take my help as much as they can get, Alex. There's no guarantee they'll take my counsel."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods slightly to Tony. "Yes, Tony. Yolanda is a member of the Black Furies."

Antonio Pavlatos: He looks for a moment as if he can't breath, going deathly pale. He grabs at the tiny sample inhaler they gave him at the jail, and takes a puff off of it.

Antonio Pavlatos: d10: WP (crossfingers): 4,4,1,3,

Antonio Pavlatos: (oh shit)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Whoa, dear...))

Antonio Pavlatos: He pulls himself into a tight ball against Alex, head down and a soft whimper escapes his throat. He hides his head down between Alex's arm and the couch, all but climbing up into the man's lap.

Alexander Donovan: Alex wraps his arms around Tony, thinking, glancing back to Aerin. "Why do I have the feeling that you and Merc might have peiced together a little more than I have at this? Although, I think I'm a bit closer now..."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: His brow furrows a little bit at Tony's reaction, but he remains where he is, watching. He doesn't respond to Alex immediately, though his eyes flick to the Simba's questioningly, and then back to the kin. "Tony?"

Antonio Pavlatos: He finally gets curled up in Alex's lap, head tucked in tightly, arms hugging himself, repeating in an odd voice, but still obviously his, just slightly childish wording and tone, "Got...gotta hide... got...gotta hide." He sounds breathless, but otherwise has gone completely still, as if he is indeed hiding in some small space - at least in his head.

Antonio Pavlatos: Aerin gets no response at first, except a little whimper, then barely audible, "He's... hidin'. Sh....sh.."

Alexander Donovan: Alex starts to say something and blinks a little as Tony responds to Aerin. "Tony doesn't have to hide. I'm right here."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Guys...I ~REALLY~ hate to do this, but I'm passing out on this scene. And I work in three hours. This does kind of give Aerin an excuse to get out...))

Antonio Pavlatos: His hand curls up in Alex's shirt, twisting in it, "Hide... with... you. She'll... find... us... unless... hide with... you. Wanna go... home... not feel good... it always... hurts. Can't... stop seein'..."

Alexander Donovan: ((Cool. Think Aerin could get the Hummer for Alex?))

Antonio Pavlatos: (kk I am REALLY tired to do this myself, we might pause it here and try to do it over ICQ with him and Alex then, because I'm afraid I'll screw this up.)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: At Tony's words, something in him stiffens...spine straightening, a deep breath sucked in. He rises, slowly, starting to scratch at his chest, his shoulders, and his upper back, and makes his way toward the bedrooms. "You guys, ah...take all the time you need. I've, ah...I'll get your car for you, Alex. You got the...um. The, ah...ah...keys?" He's looking at Alex. Very much not at Tony.

Antonio Pavlatos: (Do it later I mean over ICQ between the two of them. I'm sure Alex will tell Aerin later)

Alexander Donovan: Alex tosses Aerin the keys. "Thanks." Alex runs his fingers through Tony's hair. "Think he'll be alright in a bit. He had.. not this bad a reaction with Kelsey too."

Alexander Donovan: ((Thanks for the scene, definately appreciate it.))

Antonio Pavlatos: (Yes, thanks so much *Hugs*)

Antonio Pavlatos: He'll stay in as much a ball as he can, clinging to Alex to the point of his knuckles turning white on the fist clenched in his shirt.

Antonio Pavlatos: (Night all)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He makes to catch the keys, uncharacteristically dropping them. He bends over and picks them uphis back shaking a little, as is his voice. "He has, ah...issues with...females of my kind, I think. Particularly those of, ah...his tribe. Possibly. I should...yeah. I'll be back later." Without a word, he turns to go out the door.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((No problem, guys. *Hugs* G'night!))
