Right – this. I guess we should keep it. I hate guns. Sorry – thank you. For your help and your resourcefulness. I wanted to talk to you actually… about something Aurora gave me. She made a Hand of Glory. It’s a old magical artifact that can be used to talk to the dead. Personally. She saved a piece in case I wanted to speak to my mother. But I think ….. I’d rather to speak to Derrick. Not just for me but for him. He left so fast. I thought maybe you and Presley would like to be there too. I know you and him weren’t very close but they were. And he’s your brother. Only if you want.

Derrick? Oh. Yeah, yeah -- of course. Presley... I think she’ll like that. I’ll let her know. I’d like that. That’s very nice of you. I never knew him but I heard the stories, so he’s not without admiration.

I know it likely isn’t what everyone wants to hear right now but we should look toward resuming business as usual in the near future. For the wolves, sentry shifts will begin again tomorrow. The schedule will be posted. I’d like to get a group together, maybe of holistic witches who could help organize a funeral. From Eden to Alistar, we’ve had a lot of dead family in the last couple months and I don’t want their losses put behind us without the honor they deserve.

In the meantime, I’ve been talking at lengths with Aurora since I came back. She’s filled me in on nearly everything. I understand there’s a blood shortage. Anyone that is willing, I’d like to also make a schedule of blood donation between the wolves and witches. With our new vampire allies and the immortals finally not under duress, it’s important we keep them fed and space out everyone’s blood letting safely until we have time to talk about a more permanent solution. if anyone in the pack or my coven is morally opposed, speak to me. But I hope we can manage to put our best forward with this one to ensure the stability of the manor.

I’d like to organize a small team of witches to re-instate the wards as soon as possible and call for our once established electronics ban as a precaution. Lucio should likely spearhead that effort with an Original witch or two to provide magic. This will also mean, that the manor should return to its usual rules. No one leaves the boundaries once they arrive. Those aren’t exactly my rules to make, but I hope Aemilia will back that concern up. Even so, they’re going to remain what I ask of my people.

Wolf training will resume after the weekend and when we’re all fully rested. Morning sessions at 6, and additional fight training for inexperienced wolves and any witches that want to learn in the afternoons.

If anyone has other concerns, please let me or Aurora know. And don’t forget that despite my position in the pack, I remain the Devereaux coven leader and all of your concerns are also mine. Any wolves who haven’t checked in with me yet, I’d love to see your faces and count your limbs just to be sure.

Hey boss, its good to see you back on your feet. I think there’s something that belongs to you... I know this goes without saying but, I’m happy to volunteer anywhere I’m needed.

aemiliablack:

We’ll find somewhere safe for it and let you in on how to access it, Goddess forbid it must be summoned again. You’ve proven yourself trustworthy and more than a little capable with it in your hands. We’re very fortunate to have you with us. And I’m especially glad Presley has you. You can imagine I wouldn’t say that to someone who I didn’t believe deserved it. I’m very picky when it comes to her.

I’ll make sure to return the gun to Victoria once I get a chance to see her. And trust me when I say, I’m also picky when it comes to Presley.

I didn’t do very much, if I’m being honest. Besides break half the Black’s house and nearly get killed myself. It worked eventually but I got lucky.

Casualties of war. Better four broken family heirlooms than a life lost. I meant everything else too... None of us could have done this without your involvement. I imagine it must’ve been a very hard choice to make. Lucky or not, you still prevailed, and we still owe you our lives.

cristiana-rivero:

Shaken is a decent word for it. Thank you. For the chocolate and .. the rest of your involvement.

Oh... No problem. Don’t mention it. I honestly think we’re the ones who should be thanking you though.

Cleanliness does seem to be the talking point regarding the “chick in the basement” I believe I was called earlier. It’s good to see you again, Isadora. That rifle came in handy after all, didn’t it?

The full name sounds so strange coming from someone who’s not my mother. It did though. And I’m sure if the circumstances asked for it, it’ll come in handy again.

cristiana-rivero:

The new normal is certainly more quiet. I keep finding myself looking for chocolate and coffee.

Well, lucky for you if anyone in this manor knows where the good chocolate is, its Presley Stone, and if Presley knows where it is then...

Here. Hope it helps. You look a little shaken up.

Now that it’s been a few days since we’ve regained control of the manor and I’ve had time to myself, I’d like to extend my gratitude to everyone personally. I’m afraid I don’t have as many beautiful words and dramatic statements as I thought I would by this time, but it’s no use waiting to let you all know how grateful I am for your dedication, resilience, and self sacrifice. Everything that we’ve done here, everything that we’ve ever accomplished could’ve ended if it weren’t for the pack and the witches involved in research. I aim to repay you with safety… a future that extends beyond the hunts… time in order to heal from the horrors you all have face over the past couple of months… and as much alcohol as your hearts desire. But even that doesn’t feel like enough for what you’ve all endured. As… leader of the Black coven, it’s going to be my mission to ensure something like this never happens again. And to those new faces in the crowd I haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting under desirable circumstances, a welcome to Carden manor from your finally bathed host.

Its good to see you back on your feet, Miss Aemilia... And clean.

lucasjackson:

Oh… oh shit. Fuck. Uh, okay, I’ll… I’ll let her know. Or… maybe Ell or Noa… maybe Miss Aemilia should tell her?

Maybe you should... leave that to Miss Aemilia. Seems like a very emotional family conversation.

codiemohren:

Oh! Goddess, sorry, putting things together– Gun, roof, got it. You and Presley make a good team.

You know what? We really do.

lucasjackson:

Hey, you gotta be more specific next time.

Shit, but everyone’s good? Any… anyone dead? Other than the vamps? I know you had the bird’s eye view.

Everyone at the barn’s accounted for, but I think I heard something about Aurora’s brother...

presleystone:

I think this is the happiest I’ve ever been in my whole life.

Yeah? You know what? I think this is the happiest I’ve ever been too.

mehtawolf:

You don’t need to do that. There are others who need help, unless… is this the part where you punch me again? Can I just ask that you hit my right side because I think my left might actually cave in with another good hit.

If I wanted to punch you again I would’ve already. Presley told me... About what you were doing. Getting beaten to a pulp sucks, but its not my first rodeo Blair. We’re fine. I get it.
