Marie: ~walks in and works on unclenching her jaw, spitting out a few long, jagged splinters while she's at it~ -_-... should have been a fucking lesbian... ~tugs on a t-shirt~...asshole...
Lee: Funny. Makes me happy I've got a boyfriend every time I deal with...some girls. Nice to meet you too. ~half-grin~
Marie: -_- He started it. ~blinks.... snickers and shakes he head~
Lee: Yeah, I'm sure he did.
Marie: Oh, has a reputation of being a pig, then? ~smiles brightly and sits down on the couch~
Lee: Well, considerin' I don't know who you're talkin' about?
Marie: ... James, I think it was? ~raises an eyebrow~
Lee: Oh. Yeah. He's a bit antagonistic if you don't know him real well.
Marie: Mmmhmm... well, he can just stay that way, because the only thing I want to know well about him is how his ass is going to taste when I take a chunk out of it... ~grumbles~ Er... I'm Marie. ~quirky grin~
Lee: Nice. I'm Lee...good to meet you.
Marie: ~laughs~ I'm glad someone thinks so... I'd say my brother had told me about you, but he hasn't told me anything about anyone.
Lee: Yeah...ditto. ~pulls out a cigarette and lights it~ Didn't know Ian had a sister.
Marie: ~plucks a piece of wood from her hair with a grin~ And do you blame him for not mentioning it?
Lee: I don't get why he wouldn't. ~shrug~ Chuncks of wood aside, that is.
Marie: ~laughs~ Oh, I like you. <3
Lee: I think I'm flattered. ~finds an ashtray and flicks his ashes~
Marie: Oh, you should be. ~grins~ So... since I'm sure he's not going to tell me, because it's just not his thing... how's he been doing here?
Lee: You'd be best off askin' him really, or one of his packmates. I wouldn't really know, for the last month or so.
Marie: ~blinks and looks at him for a minute~ Well... then what about before that? Really, he hasn't even talked to Mom, I highly doubt he's going to talk to me about anything serious.
Lee: He was doin' good last I knew. Fittin' in real well...
Marie: ~smiles~ That's good...
Lee: He's a real nice guy, from what I got to know of him. ~looks away~
Marie: ~crosses her arms~ Alright, so what's the story you aren't telling?
Lee: No real story. I used to be the pack alpha. I'm not anymore...not part of the pack at all.
Marie: ~frowns~ What? So that means you can't talk to him anymore or something?
Lee: I don't talk to any of 'em anymore. ~gives her a dark look~
Marie: Apologies in advance, but if they're your friends, that's just idiotic. It's not like we make and keep friends that easily as it is.
Lee: Oh. Nice. This is the only choice I've got that's not gonna tear me up entirely and everybody's tellin' me I'm stupid. Wow...you have to take some sort of sensitivity trainin' for rippin' into a stranger like that?
Marie: ~eyes him~ No, if I was going to rip into you, it would hurt a lot more than me just telling you the truth. I'm sorry, if you were expecting me to be sweet, softspoken and gentle like my brother, it's just not happening. Look, I don't know why you aren't alpha anymore, and frankly, I don't care, but if they're willing to still associate with you, even like you, and it doesn't seem to me that they *don't* like you, because you aren't sitting here with your tail between your legs like you just got kicked in the ass and shown the curb, then don't turn your back on that. *Some* of us need all the friends we can get.
Lee: Yeah. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. ~stands up and heads for the door~
Marie: Lee? ~gets up~
Lee: ~pauses in front of the door~
Marie: He obviously trusts and likes you a hell of a lot to have been one of yours after what he's gone through. You hurt yourself, and you're hurting him. It probably won't matter much to you, but if you do that, I'll never forgive you for as long as we both live. Besides... You've obviously done a lot for all of them, and you love them, otherwise it wouldn't hurt you this much. You can still be there for them, and I think they'd want you to.
Lee: ~pauses for a long moment, then slams his fist through the wall~ Of COURSE I still wanna be there for 'em! DAMN IT! You think I *LIKE* abandonin' my pack like this?
Marie: ~winces~ Then BE there for them. Before they lock you out to stop themselves from hurting over it. Because they will.
Lee: Then they just should and get it over with. ~pulls his hand out of the wall and looks at his hand, two knuckles split and starting to bleed~ I can't fucking win with this...I just can't....
Marie: Coming from me, this is the fucking weirdest thing, but sometimes, you just can't and you have to deal with it. So you left them. Alright. But they still want you around in some way or another. That's fucking impressive. And a damned nice compliment, if I do say so. How is making them regret that being good to them?
Lee: I CAN'T DO BOTH! ~slams his other fist through the wall in another spot~ I CAN'T! OKAY? ~pulls his hand out and kicks the door~
Marie: ~sighs~ Can't, won't, or don't know how? ... Look, nevermind... I give up... It's none of my damned business anyway. ~turns around, walks over to the window and rests her forehead against the glass~ Just... ~shakes her head~
Lee: ~stares blankly at blood starting to drip down his fingers, leaning against the doorframe~ Can't. Just can't. I tried...and I'm sorry for snappin' at you. It's not fair to you, just 'cause you started sayin' the things I'm tryin' to stop my own head from sayin'.
Marie: ... ~blinks slowly and turns around~ Eh, I'm sorry for pressing it... ~walks over and looks at his hand for a moment before lifting it gently with a grumble about males~
Lee: Look...you don't have to. I'll have my sister...er, no, I'll go ask Jalireth to look at it....
Marie: ~raises an eyebrow but wisely doesn't make the comment she was going to~ Oh, well, if you have decent healers around here, then... ~smirks a bit~ I was only going to put you through more pain to set 'em.
Lee: ~winces~ If you're sadist enough to want to do that...I don' think Jalireth knows how....
Marie: ~chuckles despite herself~ I've broken enough... had to learn. ~sobers and nods towards a chair~ Sit down.
Lee: ~nods and sits, taking a deep breath~ Just...get it over with quick? Please? Before I start feelin' again...
Marie: Mmmhmm.. ~takes the hand that looks the worst and feels around few a few seconds before bracing it and gives it a few, frighteningly expert tugs to slide the bones back into place~
Lee: ~pales, biting back a scream~
Marie: ~pulls a pen from her back pocket wordlessly and slides it between his teeth before setting the hand down gently on the arm of the chair and taking the other, repeating the process with a faint wince~
Lee: ~lets out a hoarse scream this time, leaving deep dents in the pen but fortunately not snapping it~
Marie: ~mumbles~ That one's always the bitch... ~lays the hand down softly and kneels in front of him, starting to rip strips of her t-shirt with a sigh~ Don't want you banging them out of place before they mend...
Lee: You should be cannibalizing my shirt, not yours...I'm the dumbass that did this to himself...
Marie: And I'm the dumbass that got you angry enough to do it. ~smirks and starts to wrap a hand~
Lee: You didn't know...
Marie: ~rolls her eyes~ Yeah, well, I didn't exactly shut up when I figured it out, now did I?
Lee: ~grins a little, though still pale and wincing every time she jostles his hand~ You remind me of my sister...she does that kind of shit too.
Marie: ~laughs and keeps bandaging his hand~ It's got to be some kind of universal thing... ~ponders~ Except I don't think I've ever had to do this for Ian... Hmm. ~tucks in the edge of the strip and moves on to the other hand~
Lee: Yeah...Beth has had to a couple of times, but usually I can keep my temper better than that, even when someone's needling me. It's just been rougher lately.
Marie: Well... sometimes you just have to let it out...
Lee: ~sigh~ Not really. The world would be a better place if I just...didn't. Ever.
Marie: What? And explode under the pressure? Though... I think the walls might thank you... ~glances back over her shoulder at it~
Lee: If I explode under the pressure, that ain't exactly keepin' my temper in check...
Marie: Mm, but it's bound to happen if you bottle up all that anger. It's not pretty now, but it would be even worse. ~finishes and sits back on her heels~ That should do you for a while, as long as you don't go and do anything dumb.
Lee: Thanks...I guess knocking on doors...or even openin' em'...is part of that list of "anythin' dumb"?
Marie: ~laughs and nods~ That's up there. Do you need me to do anything for you?
Lee: Well...not bein' able to open doors and stuff makes it kinda hard to look for someone to heal me.
Marie: Well, I could go look for someone for you... or go with you and knock.
Lee: ~sigh~ I *should* just go to the hospital...I shouldn't be imposing on anybody around here to clean up after my stupidity...
Marie: Mmmhmm, and you're what, going to walk there?
Lee: Nope. I'm gonna make you drive me there, to pay back for pushin' me over the edge. ~weak but teasing grin~
Marie: ~laughs~ Oh, great, now you'll be ragging me for being a bitch AND for speeding...
Lee: ~completely ignores what she's saying and stares at his hands, then whispers~ Oh, well, shit....
Marie: ~blinks and looks at him~ Alright, none of that, because you'll make me think something's wrong.
Lee: Yeah...kinda. ~wiggles his fingers and shakes his head a little while he starts taking the makeshift bandages off~ I was hoping he wouldn't find out about this....
Marie: ~dumbfounded look~ ?
Lee: ~holds up his hands for her inspection~ Healed. ~slight smile~ My boyfriend...
Marie: ... Damn, you really *are* all gay around here... ~sighs and shakes her head~ So you put up with the pain I inflicted on you when he could have just....? Nevermind, I really don't want to know, I think.
Lee: Actually...most are bi around here...and yeah. It seems he got a good chuckle watchin' me suffer for a little bit 'till you'd had your wicked way with me.
Marie: ~sticks her tongue out~ Well, my wicked way was better than you not being able to use those again.
Lee: Yeah. ~smiles~ Thanks, really. If you weren't Ian's sister, and if my boyfriend weren't omnicient, I'd show you just how deeply appreciative I am. ~half-grin~
Marie: Oh, don't tease... then again, that's a hell of a better rejection than being tossed halfway across the room... ~grins~ You're welcome.
Lee: ~softly~ I wasn't teasing. ~shrugs~ Anyway, I should get going. I've got to go figure out what I can do after something like this that doesn't involve bar-hopping, or even a soothing beer.
Marie: ~stands up and hugs him~ Go grab a hot shower and get that boyfriend of yours to give you a massage. ~smirks~ Someone'd better have some fun tonight if it's not me.
Lee: I don't suppose you swing both ways? I could introduce you to my sister... ~wink~
Marie: ~laughs~ I don't know, I think we'd just end up comparing notes on our brothers all night. ~grins~
Lee: Your loss. ~laughs and stands up~ I'll...er...fix the wall in the morning. ~sigh~
Marie: ... yeah, don't trip on the chair..er...the pieces of the chair outside?
Lee: Thanks...I'll keep that in mind. ~grin~ Nice meetin' you.
Marie: ~grins~ Nice meeting you, too.
Lee: ~heads out the door~
Marie: ~picks up the discarded bandages and sighs quietly~ Well, that's that... and I think it's time to turn in... since it seems my brother isn't home tonight.
