*as they leave the sept, Lukas' frustration takes the form of humor* So ..Kaia. Want to lead a raid on Endron? You'd be in charge of the feint.
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 5:24:53 PM)
::she smiles, laughing:: Amusingly, that's why I was smiling and not looking at either of you. I didn't want to make Mark feel like an ass when I offered.
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 5:25:27 PM)
*has a crooked smile in place..but she can tell he's -pissed- at the little display from his Alpha*
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 5:26:34 PM)
I figured that and you putting your arm around me in front of him plus my offer would sail him over the edge. What... what a douche. He's here for what "we" need, then off to take care of personal shit. Like that -matters-. ::she looks to him:: I don't... want to push. Really. But... I think... no. I -know- that you would make a better alpha. I can say this with absolute certainty, from the inside and out.
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 5:30:53 PM)
*a slow breath, sorting through his thoughts before speaking, lest he say something he'd regret* I am Anna's alpha. The rest of the Tribe..Bastian and Caid? Clearly they're fine with Mark.
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 5:32:35 PM)
Bastian doesnt' have much of a choice, and I... don't really know Caid all that well. Who cares about that? What if they're -not- okay? and -You're- not okay. So... you won't pursue it, knowing that he's making incorrect decisions, decisions for personal gain, instead of the -right- decisions... because you don't want to stir shit up? ::she frowns::
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 5:36:18 PM)
*looking to her* I'm..disappointed. Pissed off and horrified at the .. *deeeeep breath* Whatever I am, it ain't hurtin me, and it ain't hurtin the pack. He wants to talk to Corrupts the Signal, he's got the right to deal with the man face to face. We're all Adren. *a toss of his head* I ain't anyone's secretary.
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 5:38:14 PM)
::she looks to him:: And... what if they do? What if his decisions get someone hurt or killed? Does it have to get to that level before you'll speak up? ::she frowns, shaking her head:: No, you aren't his secretary or his bitch. But... he's not even -bothering-. ::she growls softly, looking out to the woods around them as they walk::
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 5:41:51 PM)
Kaia.. shit. We're gearing up for all out war. And you want me to take the chance that tearing him down now weakens us, or permanently damages one of us in the process? Short of the Sept's Elders, Mark an I are probably the toughest things in the damn place. I ain't about to risk that right now. Yeah..he's pissin me off. Okay? The timing is Shit. And frankly, we're Fenrir. If the others were upset with his leadership, they'd get up in his face the way I do.
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 5:44:34 PM)
::she shakes her head:: No, I didn't say now. But, I'm pointing out flaws in your logic. As for them pointing out their issues, they -won't-. Bastian is Mark's bitch... always has been, I've -seen- the dynamics close up. He'll stay quiet unless Mark -REALLY- and I mean -epically- fucks up. Caid... Caid is low man on the totem pole. He won't say shit. As for you both, I know... you're both serious badasses, and we need you now. But keep in mind, there will -always- be -something- going on. As long as you are willing to live with the consequences of whatever his decisions are, then it's fine.
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 5:52:27 PM)
*he's already ticked off, but he holds his temper in the face of Kaia's frustrations..and a few fair points. Hell, he even listens.* ... *regarding her for a long moment before pulling his phone from his pocket to make a call. He waits..then leaves a message. "Hey Corrupts, It's Lukas. Just talked to Mark an might be a bit of a setback in the plannin. He seemed to take offense to the position I suggested, so maybe that's my bad. Anyway, couldn't get a straight answer out of him whether he'd lead em or no, so I told him he'll need to discuss it with ya himself. Sorry to pass the buck, but I figure bloodshed internally this close to battle just puts us in a worse position for the real fight. An it was headin that way on my end a things. Thanks.." *click*
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 5:55:07 PM)
::she wasn't trying to provoke the wolf, as it were, but she was frustrated too, both from their conversation about the formori earlier, and the discussion with Mark. She looked at him, watching him make the call as she remained silent, her eyes on him. After he hung up, she waited a brief moment, before she leaned in, kissing him softly, a tender kiss, more than aggressive::
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 5:59:21 PM)
*pocketing his phone, he ends up dropping it as he catches his mate, arms going around her tightly as he lowers his head and deepens the kiss, letting it linger before he finally draws back enough to look into her eyes and speak* You've got a point. There's always somethin. This Endron thing, it's a bigger somethin than usual, and I admit..I'm jugglin too much to add him into it right now. If I'm gonna butt heads with him, I want to know I've got every advantage I can get. I won't accept losin to -him-. *quietly, the first real hint of how much Mark's behavior had gotten to him. Lukas can walk away from damn near anything for the right reasons*
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 6:01:44 PM)
In the meantime.. I'll see if I can't run into Caid an find out what he thinks. *ruefully*
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 6:03:57 PM)
::she wraps arms around him tightly, remaining against him, though, not trying to distract or instigate him, listening to him as he spoke:: I can't take credit for it, Lukas. Tristan and Andy, they brought it up when they were asking if we were going on a honeymoon... they both said "there will always be -something- to "prevent" us from doing it. Always." And... it's true. The fight won't end, you've told me that, time after time, you've told me that this fight is never-ending. And... I'm... learning to accept it. But we're Fenrir, we need a strong and active leader, one who gives a damn. And Mark's is broken. ::she kisses him lightly again, just a brush of her lips:: You won't lose. You won't. And if you can't add him in now, just keep doign what you're doing. Be the leader he's not. Do the -right- thing. It will fall into place. It will just take time... and you... are one of the most patient ahroun I know. ::she smiles::
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 6:07:06 PM)
and... when talking to Caid... try... -try- to be subtle. ::grinning a bit, they both knew how honest and upfront Lukas was::
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 6:10:21 PM)
*a quirk of a smile as she says "Mark's Give a Damn is broken". His eyes remain steady and serious though. At the end, he presses a kiss to her cheek for a quiet moment* ...Goddamn you're a fine woman, Kaia. Best I ever heard of. *his gaze reflecting his pride and admiration, silently affirming that yes..she is his Equal. His mate, and not just a Ward.* Subtle.. well, I won't let you down on the rest of it... *his smile tilting*
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 6:11:20 PM)
*clearing his throat and cocking his head almost apologetically*
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 6:17:19 PM)
::she blushes as she hears him, pleased and proud down to her toes over it, even as she watches his eyes and she smiles softly:: Thank you.. ::nestling her cheek against him for a moment, she breathed in quietly. She was so very proud of her mate, it was reflected in her actions, her words, not just to him, but others as well.:: Takes one to know one, Lukas.
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 6:21:38 PM)
*he can only do so much without busting her secret of course, but she knows no one ever heard anything but praise from him..where she was concerned. He's content to remain there with her, standing on the path in the gathering night. Till something registeres distantly..and he chuckles, tilting his head to whisper* ..Did you just call me a fine woman?
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 6:21:56 PM)
((Anyhoo, I need sleep!! lol))
Lukas Vangelis (Nov 27, 2011 6:22:28 PM)
((gonna soak in the tub and loosen up the head-cold schmutz, want call?))
Kaia Skaare (Nov 27, 2011 6:22:32 PM)
(sure)
