@townmartyr asked, "okay, seriously though, what the hell?"

"shh." it's an alarming introduction to be sure; tommy's got his arm locked around archie's neck, forcing his head down. "keep your eyes low," he hisses through his teeth. williams doesn't make it his business to interfere with the new fish. he'll steer 'em straight if they need a reminder of the rules — mostly if tommy's at risk of his ass getting in trouble too.

archie's little confrontation concerned nobody but his DAMN self, and yet tommy intervened. why? shit, maybe he's just feeling charitable today. maybe he doesn't want to stare at the blood smear archie's head would undoubtedly leave if that encounter continued. it'd be an awfully ugly sight for the next few weeks.

tommy drags the redhead to the opposite side of the yard and forcibly sits archie down at an unoccupied table. the metal bench is in the DIRECT path of the sun, creating a seat hotter than the devil's throne. it allows them a sliver of privacy however, and that's all tommy is looking for.

"jesus h. christ, red. you got a lot to learn. the fuck you'd say to make that ol' meathead so mad?"

@townmartyr from here!

It isn't his job to make sure the school is safe. If anything, it should be hers; she is the tribrid. She can't be killed -- the rest of the students, the staff, they can. She also feels like she needs to make up for the lives her father had taken, the reputation her family has. She has to be worth what they'd sacrificed. And how can she do that when she allows anyone to run into danger with her?

" I get it. I do. But you're going to get yourself killed sooner or later. " And when she could have prevented it? She's not quite sure how she'd look into a mirror. Her boot is moving through the dirt regardless, tracing some rune that Hope remembers seeing her aunt use. A hand is held out for his, after her fangs bite into her own wrist. The blood of a vampire and a werewolf; it's what the spell calls for, she's sure of it. She has to be sure.

" If you really want to help, " she continues, and there is that part of her that wishes he wouldn't. She is more than capable of taking care of everything herself, throwing herself into harm's way before she will let someone else. " I need your blood. "
