WESSEX
after all is said and done
you're just a carnivore let you in and drink my blood
you're nothing but a monster ‘Sam. Safehouse. Tonight.’ The terse message is all that comes from the Wraith as she begins to deal with cleaning up and dealing with her own thoughts on the events of LongNight. For all the fire and destruction, there were thankfully few deaths, and only one she actually cared about. Cera will be remembered and laid to rest in her mind - later. Now, she has to deal with the far more troubling part: Sam’s escapade outside and whatever mental deficiency he’s suffering from this time. It can’t be just pure stupidity. There’s got to be something else going on. Wessex lifts the cube and descends the stairs, placing the object back on the trap door as she lowers it down. Lighting a candle, she settles on to a bed and waits for the ginger to show his face. He will. She knows he will. It’s just a matter of how sniveling and how pathetic he’ll be. |
comeuppance

Samuel We can leave life for tomorrow Sam knew he'd have to get to Wessex eventually in his apologies. She was the scariest one apart from The Voice and he was anxious about it, but he had the experience of his last few conversations with Remi, Rexanna and Jigano about the failed Longnight mission. Those had made him realise he was on a rather drastic downwards spiral. Or grieve all that we thought we’d do He was coming up to a large moment of decision in his life, he knew it. Just what he'd choose, he didn't know. A little later than Wessex, last minute fear causing him to be slow, he headed down into the safehouse. As he shut the trap door behind him, he tried to resolve himself. Not to be cocky or rude; he knew he was in the wrong. But to be dignified, perhaps. Not crying at the first moment of hardness. It would be difficult, but he had to try or he'd never be able to change. Walking towards Wessex and stopping about five feet away, he looked to the candle then forced himself to meet her eyes. "Hello, Wessex. I suppose you'd like to speak to me about what happened during Longnight." His voice stayed surprisingly steady, but his hands were a tell-tale sign of his anxiety, balling into fists and relaxing over and over again.

Samuel We can leave life for tomorrow Sam had expected Wessex to shout, to criticise and maybe even throw something, but he had not even dreamed she would advance towards him with a weapon. With wide eyes he stared at the knife, taking steps back as she approached. "U-um.." For a moment his words were taken away, the only thing in his mind a ringing runawayrunawayrunaway repeating in a crashing chorus.Or grieve all that we thought we’d do But he forced himself to swallow the fear and respond, though he still was wary of the knife. "I did have reasons. But you are right. It was...ah..fucking stupid. Yes. I am taking steps to try and remedy it, as best I can." It was a miracle he was able to get the words out as well as he did, the panic in him raising to a crescendo as he knew his assurances would likely achieve nothing.

Samuel We can leave life for tomorrow Sam stopped as Wessex blocked his exit, stumbling back a foot. He was silent as she asked her accusatory questions, shaking just slightly as his eyes grew wet. He blinked, forcing the tears back down - and as he swallowed them, something else came up into his throat. A determination that he had found within himself several times recently.Or grieve all that we thought we’d do Activating his barrier to keep him safe from Wessex's knife, Sam straightened up and said back loudly, but not shouting: "No. I have made a mistake. I'm sorry for that and I am doing what I can to fix it. That does not make me bad and I am not the biggest challenge we have here." Speaking like this to Wessex was terrifying, but he kept his gaze steady, knowing he had to start standing up for himself at some point. "I have apologised, spoken to The Voice and Rexanna and we have ways to fix things. I don't see why you need to tell me how awful I am on top of that. B-believe me, plenty of people have told me over the years." He took in a breath of anxiety rather than necessity, forcing himself to stay straight faced.

Samuel We can leave life for tomorrow Wessex still threatened him, still terrified him, but Sam saw two glimpses of human weakness in her, dents in her armour: first the second of surprise in her eyes as he spoke back then the more obvious hitch in her voice when she spoke of Rex. The second made him suddenly feel rather sorry for Wessex, which was not an emotion he was used to. Or grieve all that we thought we’d do Still, she continued and even threw the knife, though luckily it bounced into the wall behind him (he ducked instinctively anyway, hands going over his head, somewhat ruining his attempt to be tough). Sam straightened himself back up and looked at her for a moment, wondered if he owed a response to someone who would resort to violence like this, when it was so clear who the victor would be. But maybe he owed it to himself, to speak on his own behalf for once. "I can't stop myself from ever making mistakes. None of us can. But...I'm trying to learn how to be of more use in fights..." As he said this he thought of Remi, sweet gentle Remi, assuring him he didn't need to fight to succeed. A nice ideal, but unrealistic. "And I've learnt that my friends, no matter how much they love me, won't understand The Voice. So there's no reason to tell them anything new." A sad realisation, but a true one. "I did not mean for any harm to come to Rexanna. It did and I was...horrified. I was ready to give myself for her healing, but I didn't need to, as it turned out. Wessex, I am not the enemy here. Please. I'm just..." He pushed a hand through his hair. "I'm just very new to all of this fighting and action and secrecy and I'm trying to learn how it works." Surprised at his own eloquence and steadiness he waited to see if his words would make any difference.

Samuel We can leave life for tomorrow As Wessex conceded he was not their enemy Sam felt himself relax a little, hoping that he may have gotten through to her a little bit. Maybe eventually, when he got better at explaining himself, he could actually work with Wessex.Or grieve all that we thought we’d do Which made her suggestion a very good idea. "Alright. That sounds like a good idea to me. I will do that." He looked down to the knife now on the floor and paused, unsure if he wanted to make peace with Wessex right now. But she was a good leader and he could not afford to have this feud as well as everything else. "I do respect you and all you do for us. And I am sorry."
