Lucien Bourikas: "Good night for the moment, Jez. After dinner I will no doubt see you."

Gavriil Kazimir: Travel safely Jezebel. *he says to the kinfolk as the man moves to depart. He looks back to Lucien* Actions speak louder than words in this case it would seem. Why do you call him a boy though? If he is capable of speaking for himself...why condescend to him as such?

Gavriil Kazimir: (G'night Rave)

Lucien Bourikas: "Merely habit, because there is a decade between us. He knows I mean nothing by it, because I am well aware that he is more a man that some my age. He has had to be."

Lucien Bourikas: (that=than)

Lucien Bourikas: (Make that nearly a decade, thinking of Corbin :P)

Gavriil Kazimir: *he laughs quietly at that* How proud of him you seem. That's quite...touching. I would hope that such won't be your undoing.

Natasha Carter(pb2): must you always pick and poke and stir up things to satisfy your own boredom?*eyes on gavril, blinking slowly*

Gavriil Kazimir: Make an attempt to silence me if such is your desire Miss Carter.

Lucien Bourikas: He gives Gavriil a sincere enough looking smile. "Let us hope not. And, as I have gotten to know him, I realize that he is an intelligent and brave young man, so yes, I am proud of him for being associated with us."

Madeline Dane: Madeline looks between Natasha and Gavriil, the statement causing her to edge around Lucien to make REALLY sure she's not gonna be between them.

Lucien Bourikas: He looks at Madeline then, "Are you certain you do not wish me to take that for you?"

Madeline Dane: "What kind of musician doesn't lug their own gear?"

Natasha Carter(pb2): so quick to be on the offensive and make such a statement....*shaking her head slowly* it is sad

Gavriil Kazimir: Pride goeth before the fall as they say. Tell me this though, do you truly believe that your coterie shares the same feelings of Mr. Talino? Are you quite sure you and he have not climbed out upon an untenable limb lead there by fervent and perhaps misguided passion?

Gavriil Kazimir: *he laughs at Natasha* And you so quick to back down from bold words. Do you know truly believe what you say? Are you so unwilling to back up words with actions?

Lucien Bourikas: He doesn't seem to mind if Madeline moves closer, doesn't seem to mind at all actually.

Gavriil Kazimir: (know in the last post....shouldnt' be there. Tis a typo. Should read "Do you truly believe...")

Lucien Bourikas: "My, you are surely curious about my feelings," Still the same expression on his face to Gavriil. "This is not the time or place to discuss this, but you would have to ask him of the last question. Perhaps he might even sate your curiousity."

Natasha Carter(pb2): who said I was backing down? you infer your own meaning on my words....ignorance and indifference are bad habits..

Gavriil Kazimir: Oh I'm not curious at all Mr. Bourikas. For I already know the answers to such questions. I was simply seeking to know if you've taken note of how many others of your ilk stand with you....out there on that thin branch. *he laughs quietly* Enough weight to make it snap? Or...just enough to bend it so that no others can join you.

Gavriil Kazimir: *he looks back to Natasha* You did of course. I asked you if you wished to make an attempt to silence me, clearly you do not, because you -cannot-

Lucien Bourikas: He merely gives the same smile to Gavriil, "I thank you for your show of concern for us."

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((Anyone mind another?))

Natasha Carter(pb2): assuming too..*sighing and shaking her head*..if I was backing down Id have shut up and left already...not everyone uses martial attempts , or wishes to.....might most certainly does not make right....

Gavriil Kazimir: I simply speak of playing your hand a bit closer to your vest is all Mr. Bourikas. Assess the situation before taking action overt or otherwise. I see that you care for your cousin *Jezebel he means* deeply and that is noble. But he spoke before any of true standing and has now forced your hand. Perhaps in the future you might seek to use...more discretion.

Gavriil Kazimir: (come on down)

Gavriil Kazimir: *he shrugs at Natasha* I never claimed that it did. I have no quarrel with you Miss Carter save that you did not join Lucas and the others when we moved upon those men...an action you had sworn to participate in.

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He makes his way into the park, moving directly, with long, quick strides. The man is dressed impeccably as always, blonde hair perfectly set into place.

Natasha Carter(pb2): *she looks to lucien and maddy with an apologetic glance, then looks back to gavril*....perhaps...had I been told when it was taking place....myself and my packmate who had been in on the meeting might have gone.....or did the plans just...conveiniently get forgotten to be passed on?

Gavriil Kazimir: (ouch, room wipe!)

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((*Shakes head*))

Gavriil Kazimir: I have no knowledge of such deception. *he says quietly* My apologies. I had assumed you simply were...occupying yourself with another task.

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks up, noting Gavriil and Natasha talking, and a brow raises. He smiles faintly and makes his way over in that direction.

Lucien Bourikas: He simply nods to Gavriil, but rather he is simply acknowledging his words or simply feels no desire to continue this thread of conversation is hard to tell.

Lucien Bourikas: (DSL went down, not sure if we can both get on with the two comps... hang on while we try some stuff)

Gavriil Kazimir: *he takes note of the approaching Fostern. He dips his head respectfully to the man as he draws near* Evening Mr. Lawrence. *the greeting spoken politely*

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Gavriil." He nods. "Natasha. Good evening. How are you both?"

Madeline Dane: ((Gah, that sucked))

Natasha Carter(pb2): thank you for your apologies.....and no....I was not occupying myself otherwise.....merely waiting for word which never came...

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((*Hugs* I know those woes.))

Gavriil Kazimir: Well enough. *he says quietly* We were simply speeking of missions accomplished and...those who stand openly against those who weild the scythe. *that being what Gavriil has taken to calling the Reapers for whatever reason*

Gavriil Kazimir: (or speaking if I could spell)

Lucien Bourikas: He gives both Gavriil and Natasha a curious expression at their conversation.

Lucien Bourikas: (for the record, I can't keep up ICQ :(

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Ahh." He frowns a little bit and nods. "Quite the situation, yes."

Natasha Carter(pb2): *a glance over towards troy, she takes a deep breath and nods respectfully to him* mr lawrence......

Lucien Bourikas: He gives a nod to Troy when he approaches, "Good evening."

Gavriil Kazimir: Quite the situation indeed. *he's quite curious where Troy stands on such, but he'd not ask such questions of the man in public*

Madeline Dane: Madeline gives Troy a little wave when he walks up when the others seem to react well to him.

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Mr. Bourikas." He nods to the man. "A pleasure as always." He looks to Madelin, appraising her evenly before giving a small nod, then looks back to Gavriil. "Do not let me stop you. By all means, discuss away."

Natasha Carter(pb2): madeline...*looking to her, then moving over to speak quietly with her for a moment, occupying herself from looking twitchy(jaw set, etc) towards gavril.....he 'did' apologize after all....in front of others too*

Gavriil Kazimir: I believe our discussion had reached a point of finality. We were speaking of cousins of Lucien's who spoke out before those above them did...and the consequences of such actions.

Madeline Dane: She untangles from Lucien a moment to lean in and listen to Natasha.

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Oh?" His brow raises. "What consequences were those?"

Madeline Dane: She nods and gives Natasha a hug with her free arm.

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: (open?)

Gavriil Kazimir: To be determined it would seem. *he says quietly* None of our blood have made such misteps..but then again none of ours are in fear of facing the scythe.

Gavriil Kazimir: (word)

Lucien Bourikas: He lets his arm slid from around Madeline.

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((Open))

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy makes an idle roll into the park. Sans backpack for a change, and clean to boot. His hands are stuffed apathetically in his pockets, dark eyes down.

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Then you mean there are none yet." He frowns a little to Gavriil. "And while you may not have any you care about in danger, Mr. Kazimir...I have those close to me who would very much face the Scythe eventually I imagine, as you say. Most of mine would, as a matter of fact, for one reason or another I would think."

Gavriil Kazimir: You speak of your allies. *spoken to Troy meaning his pack* Or of Mercury specifically yes?

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Regardless, ambivalence and saying nothing will get us nowhere. Nor will this opposition that has arisen...nor supporting. Any of those options will tear this place apart, and I will not have it."

Madeline Dane: She gives Natasha an understanding smile and whispers back.

Natasha Carter(pb2): *she murmurs again to maddy before leaning back and straightening herself, eyes flicking about the area*

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: ninja vision: 2,3,6,3,2,

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Mercury. Laidan. Natasha, I imagine, would be threatened. Joshua. Even Eddie, conceivably. And those who support us as well."

Lucien Bourikas: He seems to simply be listening, keeping his expression the same, hitching the guitar case up on his shoulder a bit more comfortably.

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He frowns, catching sight of Gavriil. Maybe he won't notice him. He continues to roll along, as quietly as one can expect with the rattling of his trucks hitting the path.

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: d10: Per+Alert: 2,2,9,3,9,

Gavriil Kazimir: Then you stand in opposition with those who you would call your closest family. *meaning his pack* Such is a noble act, for myself and others...unallied with such folk...we act as those above us bid. *speficially meaning when Gavin tells him to jump, he will*

Natasha Carter(pb2): *listening to troys words, she nods slowly, then blinks with an almost worried expression to maddy, looking to lucien, then looking about again*

Natasha Carter(pb2): d10: per/alert: 3,4,2,5,2,6,3,

Lucien Bourikas: If Madeline moves back to him, his arm will go around her again.

Natasha Carter(pb2): *not really noticing anything, maybe hearing something off a bit, she gives lucien a questioning look*

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks over as Andy approaches, remembering the young man only vaguely. His eyes move back to Gavriil. "Something that I hope you are moving to rectify, of course?"

Madeline Dane: She gives Natasha another hug first, but does lean back into Lucien afterward.

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He hums quietly to himself. Eyes scanning the path in front of him. Looking for familiar faces. Wary, it would seem. Tense, almost.

Gavriil Kazimir: *he glances down the pathway as he hears the click-clacking of Andy's skateboard. He watches the boy curiously for a moment before turning his attention back to Troy. It would seem he's indifferent to the street rat's arrival*

Lucien Bourikas: He gives Natasha a smile, but his eyes are filled with question marks.

Gavriil Kazimir: I would not presume to council those vastly greater in station than myself. *he says of speaking of such matters with Gavin* I trust that when the situation reaches its apex..he will act..and I will do as I'm told. So shall well all I'm quite sure.

Natasha Carter(pb2): *quietly, while gavril and troy speak, she murmurs* have you....heard from him lately, lucien?

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: His lips quirk into somethin possibly amused. "I meant, of not having such people that you are close with."

Lucien Bourikas: He looks at Natasha and frowns as he turns more to her, voice quiet, "Him...?" Obviously not catching immediately who she is speaking about.

Natasha Carter(pb2): (heh LOL, gavril should join peace eagle*runs and hides*)

Natasha Carter(pb2): *licking her lips, she nods, murmuring softly again* nathaniel....

Lucien Bourikas: His frown alters to understanding, but he shakes his head, "I am sorry, but I have not spoken to him. I believe Corbin did recently, he spoke of getting a call from him. He said something about Nadia getting into the chickens...?"

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: And.. he keeps going. (because I can't think of a reason for him to stop.)

Gavriil Kazimir: Quite soon I shall be bonded with another, and we will seek out more after that. Even after two have become one..I do not believe we will strive to throw ourselves against those who wield the scythe unless given call to by those who stand above us. *he looks off for a moment* Your situation being that you are allied with those who would be targets directly...puts you in a different frame of mind than others of our family. *spoken in a respectful and reserved tone. He speaks rather quietly as well although he's not speaking of any truly secretive matters*

Gavriil Kazimir: (wipe out...)

Natasha Carter(pb2): (*tacks on*)

Madeline Dane: ((Figured out that you can hit 'change nick' and it'll drop people above you until it takes out the one that's actually timed out, then you're nick will stick again.))

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((Sorry, guys, my fault. I'm probably gonna have to pull from this scene...ST'ing something fairly intensive, and I can't keep up here like I thought I could.)) He nods a little bit to Gaveriil. "Actually, my purpose and that which binds mine and me together gives me perspective, Mr. Kazimir. As well as what is right and best for this city." He looks to Natasha and smiles, then back to Gavriil. "I must depart, though. Good evening. Natasha. Mr. Bourikas."

Lucien Bourikas: (I think that did me in, I need to reboot, can't barely bring the room up now...:(
He nods to Troy, "Good night then, Mr Lawrence."

Lucien Bourikas: (brb)

Gavriil Kazimir: Good night Mr. Lawrence. Travel safely.

Madeline Dane: She finally sets the case on the ground, setting a foot on it. She gives another wave to Troy. "Bye."

Natasha Carter(pb2): Mr lawrence...goodeve...*nodding respectfully to him as he goes*

Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Miss." He nods to Madeline, deciding to save introductions for a better time or place, and makes his way further into the Park, disappearing from view. ((Thanks for the scene, all!))
