It builds character. Not everyone in the real world is going to baby you like your mother.

See, that’s not funny either. Watch your mouth, kid. I just don’t need some boy running around your sister. She’s a child and she’s going to be vulnerable around manipulative, horny bastards. It’s just something girls do.

I hope that wasn’t supposed to be an intimidating threat.

/grins, pulling out the money/ Just know if he’s still around, you’re going to play bodyguard. I want this kid so scared of you and Scout that he doesn’t even think about coming back over here. Got it?

Mom doesn’t baby me. She’s actually parenting.

/snorts/ A child? You realize if any guy put the moves on her, she’d probably rip their throats out, right? /raises an eyebrow/ Is that how you and mom got together?

Well, Zale’s home now, too. I can just tell the both of them and then take Marina to her bedroom since daddy said it was okay.

Sure thing. /takes the money eagerly/ That’ll be easy as hell. Too bad he can’t see how tall I am. Most people run away just because of that.

She’s sixteen. I don’t care if District Four considers her an adult by law or if she’ll rip their throats out. Scout is still a child.

I’m glad you’ve planned out a welcome home present for Zale. I haven’t seen Marina in a while, but I’m pretty sure she’s too bubbly for you anyways.

Thank you for being the only other one with any hint of common sense in this house. It’s a damn shame you can’t use the Odair curse for good. I guess you’re just going to have to break his nose. /sighs/ Oh, rats.

If you’re so worried about her getting “corrupted”, why don’t you do something yourself? Oh wait, I almost forgot. Work is more important.

Hopefully he’ll like it. Maybe I’ll stop by Reid and get him something sweet just to even out the pain and the happiness. The last time you saw her was probably when she was nine. Or at least…How long have you been in the office? I’ll count back by the years.

Once I’m through, you won’t be seeing him around here anymore. I don’t know if I’d go as far as breaking his nose, but I’ll rough him up enough.

I'm not here to listen to your attitude. Go take it up with a guidance counselor or something.

/grins/ Sounds fantastic. You don't need video, but I better not see that kid stumble his way in my house. I don't want my daughter to go from Scout to Little Angry One and join some tribe of hippies.

Don't fuck it up.

Go for it, champ. I don’t have to live with a hole in my door, so that’s fine with me. /shakes his head/ When I was your age, I would have had a shoe thrown at me for that talk.

I’m glad this is funny to you. Besides, he wouldn’t even know how to snort coke. Apparently the son of a bitch is blind. Isn’t that the biggest pile of shit you’ve ever heard?

You barely leave the house, kid. I don’t care if you have sex with anyone if you see sunlight once in a while.

Don’t play stupid with me. I don’t care if Tecumseh is blind, deaf or paralyzed; he’s still a guy and he still wants what we want. Just rough the kid up a bit until we never have to see him or his tribe again. Name your price.

What about your office door? Did you pay for that door, too? /shit-eating grin/ I guess you just believe in verbal abuse rather than physical.

Scout probably taught him how. She’s a pro at it by now. Yeah, I know right? I thought blind people weren’t even like…real. It’s such a pile of shit.

I’ll make sure to let Melody know you gave me consent to sleep with her daughter. /smiles/

/thinks about how much the good weed cost and how much new art supplies would be/ Alright…Five hundred. For an extra hundred I’ll film it.

That would be hysterical if this wasn’t my house. Since I paid for the door, I’ll do what I want. /scowls/ Hibernation season hasn’t even started, dumbass. I..never mind.

/frowns/ Is the idea of your sister getting knocked up humorous to you? Do you want to be uncle Hunter? /sighs/ There was a..predator in our home with your sister. Your mother is convinced he means no harm, but since you’re not naive to what men think about, I think we can both agree this is a problem.

So, hypothetically, if I punched a hole through that door, would you be upset? Because if it makes you angry, I’ll be sure to do it. /gasps dramatically/ Me? A dumbass? Man, I don’t know which parent I got that trait from.

Uncle Hunter? /pauses for a moment/ Y’know, it does have a nice ring to it. /closes his eyes and purses his lips to keep from laughing, glad his back is facing him/ Oh, yeah she mentioned him to me. She also told me about the crazy amounts of cocaine they’ve been snorting.

/swivels in his chair back to him/ I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Marina is my friend and I haven’t done anything with her.

I’m just going to talk to him. Just a man to man chat.

The Barbie is a different problem altogether. Gender does matter. At least I know Barbie Salmon isn’t going to try anything with my daughter. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before he leaves anyways, so let’s spare her the drama.

/frowns/ Please tell me you aren’t feeling sorry for the kid. It’s not my fault he got screwed in the sight department.

littlerebelsage-deactivated2020

Whatever. /turns her back to him, crossing her arms/

You don’t know that. Girls are no different than boys nowadays, if not worse when it comes to pouncing on anyone they can get, sadly. And I don’t have to be a psychologist to see that.

/turns and snaps at him/ No, I’m upset because you’re being a dick. I can’t seem to have a normal conversation with you anymore without you being a fucking asshole about something.

But I realize you’re busy. I hope you’re chat with Hunter goes well.

I wasn’t aware that was brand new information. I’m an asshole. The kids are assholes. It’s kind of a family trait now… /saves what he’s written so far before standing up/

I’m sure he’ll know that this is for the best. He will if he cares about Scout.

/makes his way to Hunter’s door, knocks once and lets himself in/ Were you aware of the crisis going on and decided to neglect it or were you unaware that a predator came on to your sister?

/furrows his eyebrows and turns away from his desk, looking at his door/ Knocking once doesn’t give you the leeway to waltz in, you know? Also, what are you doing out of your cave? I didn’t know hibernation season ended this early.

/turns back around and continues what he was doing before/ I don’t recall Adonis talking to her anytime recently. /smirks to himself/

That would be hysterical if this wasn't my house. Since I paid for the door, I'll do what I want. /scowls/ Hibernation season hasn't even started, dumbass. I..never mind.

You’re damn right I wouldn’t give him the time of day. I can see right through him. Nice boy my ass.

She can have one, but it doesn’t persuade me her way. I’m not going to let my daughter push me over.

I’m just going to have a talk with the kid and we’ll see what happens. You’d be surprised with what teenage boys are capable of if you would stop being so naive about it.

I doubt she’ll even care. This will just push her to find a new female friend. Sounds great to me. This way we won’t have to hear her complaining when her heart is broken by the cripple.

littlerebelsage-deactivated2020

No, you’re not! Don’t drag Hunter into this, that’s not fair to him whatsoever. You’re making him choose between his sister and money. He’s smart enough to know the difference between right and wrong. He’s not going to do it.

She doesn’t need a new female friend, she has Nadia. Gender shouldn’t matter. She’s happy, and that’s what matters. /scoffs and lets go of his arm/ Stop saying those things.

How could you have possibly thought this was good news? You’re letting your daughter hang out with some asshole and that’s okay to you?

Her opinion on the matter doesn’t really concern me. She’s a child. Children have rules. She’ll get over it soon enough. Knowing her, he’s probably just a court ordered service project.

I’m sure that kid will back down as soon as he finds out about Hunter anyways. Hunter would kick his ass because unlike you and Scout, we know exactly what he’s really thinking.

/finds his wallet, shoves it in his pocket/

littlerebelsage-deactivated2020

I met him, Eli! If I had any worries about him, I would have advised Scout to stay away. He’s a nice boy, and I would tell you to meet him yourself but you wouldn’t give him the time of day.

Right, I nearly forgot a sixteen year old girl wasn’t allowed an opinion. Silly me. You’re fucking ridiculous.

…What are you doing? You better not do what I think you’re about to. You know Hunter wouldn’t do that to Scout, not for any amount of money you try and bribe him with.

/grabs his arm/ Please, Eli. Just leave her be.

You're damn right I wouldn't give him the time of day. I can see right through him. Nice boy my ass.

Don’t compare us to them. /grumble/ Things were different.

One of the joys of work is having to do it. /rubs his temples again, clearly agitated/

I’d hope she’d have enough sense to know not to sleep with scum, but you’re giving me ideas now. /looks around his desk for his wallet/ She’s sixteen, Sage. She could kick someone’s ass and all, but boys are sneaky and manipulative around impressionable teenage girls.

If you won’t do it, I’ll tell her myself.

littlerebelsage-deactivated2020

How? Jabberspace was invented. That’s about it.

Right. I forgot work comes before family..

You’re unbelievable. I knew I shouldn’t have even come in here. God forbid I try to tell you something I thought was good. /steps away from his desk/

Do it yourself. I’m not going to make my own daughter drop a friend she clearly likes having around. I just hope you know she’s not going to listen.

Treats her with respect? Sage, he’s a teenage boy. You’re a psychologist, love. You know there is only one thing on his mind and it sure as hell isn’t respect. Scout doesn’t even go to the Docks. If someone bothers her, she breaks their nose. Not a big deal.

I don’t care how nice Chief No Eyes was to you. I don’t want him hanging around our daughter. He’ll play the blind card and get her sympathy. Once she’s vulnerable.. well, I think you can put that puzzle together.

littlerebelsage-deactivated2020

Yes, and teenage boys with respect for girls is outdated and extinct. You’re so right, Eli. I don’t know why I thought anything different. /rolls her eyes/ You treated me kindly when we were that age, and unless I’ve been in la la land for however many years it’s been now, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t to get into my pants.

/grumbles/ It’s not like you would know if she did or not. You don’t ever come out of this office…

/glares at him/ Too bad. I’m not going to make her get rid of one of the few friends she has. He’s welcome here whenever her wants, and unless you want to put her in a chastity belt and put prison bars on the windows and doors, there’s not much else you can do about it.

I’ve met other people named Sage. If I wanted to meet another one of him, I’d have to paint my face and run around with feathers and see who ran up to me.

He was in the house?! Sage, why was he in the damn house? You can’t let them in or they think it’s okay territory..like stray cats. /clenches his fist/ Of course he was nice to you. You think the kid is going to tell you all the ways he wants to fuck your daughter? Jesus.. I don’t care if he’s blind, deaf or just plain stupid.

littlerebelsage-deactivated2020

Stop. /shakes her head/ That’s enough. You can’t ever be nice to people. Especially someone you haven’t even met.

He was hurt and bleeding? The closest place was our house and he needed to get cleaned up. God forbid Scout tried to help a friend out when they needed it. /eyes widen/ What the hell is wrong with you!? Can you not just be happy Scout has made a nice friend who treats her with respect? Or would you rather her fuck off and go to the Docks where there’s real threat?

Oh it’s…She’s…It’s not a she. It’s a he. He’s very nice. His name is Embry and I met him today. He’s from Twelve!

I’m genuinely shocked.

She sounds lovely. What tribe is she from? /laughs at his joke and suddenly stops as everything processes/

Did you just say he as in a male? Where did you meet this..boy..from Twelve?

littlerebelsage-deactivated2020

That’s rude, Eli. My name is odd too, but you don’t hear people asking me about other spices. /scowls/

No, he as in a shoe. Yes, he as in male. He stopped by today…injured. He’s well…He’s blind and Scout helps him around the district when he comes to visit and she accidentally ran him into something. He was very nice to me and to Scout.
