Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:45:36 AM)
*After throwing on clothes he headed over to Irene's as quick as he could. It was his responsibility to see she was alright, and she didn't sound much like herself over the phone. The Jaguar pulled up to the apartment complex and he hit the intercom button to let her know he arrived.* Irene it's Steven.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 6:46:26 AM)
It takes a few moments before he hears the beep, letting him come up. Her door a touch open for him when he moves up the stairs to make her place.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:46:59 AM)
*he got up there quick enough looking around for his cousin* What's going on?

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 6:47:53 AM)
The lights are on in Irene's apartment. When he lets himself in, she will find her leaning against the frame to the back porch, staring out into the night, listening to bugs getting zapped several feet from her. She doesn't say anything at first... yeah, shes definitely acting unusual.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 6:49:45 AM)
(or balcony, you know what i mean)

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:49:47 AM)
*he made his way to her and eyed her carefully trying to read her motives through her rather abnormal display of behaviour.(i'll roll empathy + perception if you want)*

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 6:50:02 AM)
(go ahead)

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:52:53 AM)
((2 suxx)) *he could certianly tell something was wrong with her, maybe not the exact reason but enough to call to her from her precautious perch* Irene hun, come in here and well talk.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 6:55:43 AM)
Irene is actively working at composing herself, preparing herself for what she is about to say. Unlike some others within Steven's life who let their emotions do the talking, Irene is making damn sure they don't. As he watches, he sees her jaw tense as though shes steeling herself. Taking in a light breath before shaking her head a little, moving out onto the balcony and both hands going to the bar that runs around the top, gripping it, leaning in against it. "I will not be some toy to be thrown between garou, some trophy for Wilhelm to pull him away from the chateau, I do not want any of this. You said you would be my guardian, you never said you would use me as some prize."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:03:02 AM)
*After he heard that, he knew this was a delecate situation and he called on the gifts of the spirit to aid his persuasive skills (Activating Persuasion, 2 suxx) He hardly considered such things, not in reality, only as a last ditch effort to bring peace to the tribe. but there were many, many better options available.* Irene, If you are talking about Wilhelm and Yuri, neither one are good enough for my cousin. Yuri has lost any ambition, and makes foolish mistakes repeadiatly. He looses himself in his own stubborn logic. Wilhelm on the other hand is affixed his sole attention to my own wife and your best friend. He's no more interested in you than myself. Who you choose to be with is your own choice, not mine.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:06:36 AM)
"Yuri professed his love for me in Germany." Never looking at him, keeping her voice level, though he can hear the odd crack that she can't keep out of it despite herself. "Last night he lost control and kissed me before starting to apologise. When I awoke this morning there was a letter of apology on my pillow. He had slept on the floor looking after me when I fell asleep. He cares ... Wilhelm's eyes are only on your girl and I don't want either. I didn't want any of this, I was quite happy here alone. Why did your father force me to leave that behind Steven?"

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:08:51 AM)
*he didn't take a step closer toward her thinking such a move would further press issues with her making such hasty decisions.* If you are talking about moving to the Chateaux, that wasn't my father's choice, that was the Warder's choice, I have to listen and obey his commands just as anyone affiliated to the nation.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:10:47 AM)
If you don't want either one of them. Fine, it's done. I'll see to it that neither Yuri, nor Wilhelm will bother you again.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:10:56 AM)
"No. I mean ever letting myself being known, coming to see you. I could've stayed away, stayed unknown. Perhaps I should move to central america, see these bat people and just leave it be." Her eyes rising to look up at the sky as she says it.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:16:54 AM)
You've heard the prophesy of the phoenix. Denying your duties is just as wrong as going against them. I didn't choose to be born garou, any more than you chose to be born kin. Honeslty if it were my choice, I'd rather be ignorant of it myself. I bet nearly everyone one born in the nation has wished ignorance more than once. Such a life has driven many people down dark paths to destruction. We've been given the honor of being something special, we can take that by the reigns and do something with it for the greater cause, or we can piss it away on foolishness. But that is our individual choice to make. I won't make it for you like Cosette's brother made for her.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:19:14 AM)
If you want to leave to south america, we can talk to Therese or Rui. They can make arangements to have you safely moved there. Start over and leave this hell hole of a swamp.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:19:48 AM)
I won't be happy with such a decision, but it's not mine to make.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:21:12 AM)
Irene then moves to glance his way and then he sees her cousins eyes begin to water before hurriedly looking away from him. Struggling and hating herself for that. -q- "I'm scared Steven... the theurge said bat would take me further soon, that I would be claimed. I don't know how to balance all of this ... bat and now all these men."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:26:29 AM)
Yuri is foolish.. The totem he seeks to follow will destroy him. This is not the same Bat that our tribe follows. This one holds extreme animosity for our tribe for the actions we have caused toward her children. The fostern who redemed the totem alerted me at once on this. She herself nearly frenzied over our tribes actions many years ago. I have tried to tell this to Yuri. But he doesn't listen to me.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:28:42 AM)
"Let ... him go. He is fixed on doing it. He doesn't trust you and he never will." Her voice quivering though he can tell shes fighting it. "At least he thinks he's not good enough for me."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:29:30 AM)
I don't care if he trusts me, and he's right.. He's not good enough for you.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:32:37 AM)
"I don't know why any would think that. They're garou, I'm kin. Technically I have to prove myself to them, not the other way around." Gazing to the sky again for a time. "I don't think being with bat makes me better than all that."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:39:08 AM)
He's foolish.. I doubt he made it through his rite of passage with out someone guiding his hand through the whole ritual. He knows little of our tribes ways, and he doesn't like being questioned by a ragabash like myself. He runs away from challenges, and shys away from those that dominate him. He says he's subtle, yet his blatant displays of affection toward you as you say proves otherwise. He and his friend Uriah were both angry that I supposedly claimed all the kin yet I have claimed none. You are my cousin, and Cosette claimed me. I hardly think he loves you, but perhaps he just is desperate.for his own lover, you just happen to be the only one available at the moment.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:41:36 AM)
"Available? Theres the television celebrity, the pilot ... and the agent. He can play profession options. All of which are better than the crazy bat girl."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:43:43 AM)
Wilhelm is now chasing Darya. The Pilot has her own mate, and Giselle is already half crazy in love with Gavril.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:45:17 AM)
A laugh at that before shaking her head, bitter. "So basically, I'm fucked."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:46:14 AM)
*he shrugs* Im a questioner.. Im not the one with answers.. You want the theurge to leave you alone? I'll make sure it's done.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:48:46 AM)
"I just.... if they want children. If the tribe needs them ... I don't think I'm a good option. Too many questions about whats happening to me. Unsafe. And I don't think I'd make a good mother." Trying to keep it logical.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:50:27 AM)
Im not good at such things Irene, I can find you the right person I'm sure. And you know I only tease you because you are my cousin.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:52:20 AM)
She nods a little before actually turning and moving to hug him, leaning against his chest. "Thank you for letting me say all of this. I haven't been able to sleep."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:53:10 AM)
So, what do you want now? You want me to talk to Rui and Therese for you?

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:53:30 AM)
You want me to solve the Yuri problem for you?

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:53:59 AM)
"Rui and Therese?" A tilt of her head. "Sorry?"

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:55:26 AM)
Therese, Blows-your-Mind. Fostern Galliard. Head of the tribe in the area. Rui, Darkest-bite, Athro Philodox Judge of Doom. He oversees Therese and our actions.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:55:48 AM)
They will have answers more than I will.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:56:19 AM)
Either one of them can see that Yuri will never speak or lay eyes on you again.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:57:33 AM)
If neither works.. I will talk to Takes No Shit. The TruthCatcher. He will for sure make the theurges life misserable.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 7:58:13 AM)
"I don't know that we need anything that ... drastic." Looking out into the dark. "You think we do?"

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:59:19 AM)
It's your call.. *he smiles* They can make it stop unless you enjoy all his attention.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:00:07 AM)
"No ... his attention is not what I need while this happens ... whatever this will be."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:00:52 AM)
He won't listen to me short of physical threat.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:01:01 AM)
And Im not the one to do such things.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:01:25 AM)
Wilhelm however..... *he thinks* Wilhelm could put the fear of gaia in his heart.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:01:46 AM)
.... and I know he'd do it in a moment's notice.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:02:22 AM)
Irene pulls back a little to look up at him then. "Why would Wilhelm do that over me?"

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:03:00 AM)
He's passionate. He actually cares.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:04:00 AM)
Personally I think he'd make a wonderful husband for the lucky girl that manages to snag him up.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:04:18 AM)
Probably why Cossie has been prodding him your way.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:04:35 AM)
"If you say so...." A quirk of a smile at that. "I just don't ... see it and I don't think he does either."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:04:40 AM)
I don't think she likes all the stares she gets from his lustful eyes.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:05:56 AM)
I think he really is just misguided.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:07:23 AM)
Remember how he took care of you when you couldn't sleep? How he helped you out at the restraunt and bought the medicine for you the following day. His complete concern for you?

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:07:54 AM)
"He does have eyes for her. I think he's just lonely and he had a thing for your wife." Parting then and moving to walk off into the apartment. He might think its something bad but as he watches, he sees her turning on the kettle. "He tries to be a gentleman."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:10:37 AM)
I think he's only interested in Cossie because she has some deep seeded interest in him.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:10:47 AM)
It's how she was raised.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:11:05 AM)
Her brother and her both told me she was destined to be with an Ahroun.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:11:25 AM)
But she wouldn't be completely attracted to him forever.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:11:35 AM)
She would tire of it Im certian.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:12:26 AM)
But I know he cares for you for sure.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:12:55 AM)
"Coffee?" Moving to walk about and try to keep herself busy. "I don't know that he does, he has never looked my way, his eyes have always been on Cosette. He would crush me anyway ..."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:13:23 AM)
*he shakes his head no on the coffee* Thanks, water would be fine.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:14:40 AM)
"Your loss." Moving to work on hers, though he will notice she does pull out a bottle of water for his glass before coming over with it. "Here."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:17:00 AM)
*he didn't seem to happy about the water but he drank it anyhow* It's really a matter of respect for Cosette.. she's on a no caffeene no alcohol diet. I unfortunately swore Id join her in such torment.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:19:59 AM)
A wry smile before looking down at the glass and then tilting her head. "What about a no weed diet? You can have some... " Irene has dabbled?

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:21:41 AM)
Maybe he's never looked your way due to you not showing him any interest? You always speak of how it wouldn't work out.. It's not attractive. His eyes wander to Cosette's because she gives him just enough attention to show his own interest.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:23:07 AM)
*he smiles but doesn't seem so shocked..* Nah i better not..

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:23:33 AM)
"Thats cause I honestly aren't. I've never been with a guy and I've only really been forced to thing about it lately ..." Moving to start pouring her water into her cup, stirring idly.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:25:08 AM)
Well, maybe consider wilhelm. He really does like you... Im not sure about in -that- way. But it would be fun to see. *he smiles and nods*

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:25:32 AM)
And having him falling over you as such would definately keep yuri away.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:26:05 AM)
*he chuckles* Besides... it would be fun to see my cousin tame the beast.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:28:25 AM)
"Tame Wilhelm?" Lifting her cup and holding it between both of her slender hands, fingers wrapped around it. "I don't know how that'd work, he's way too big for me. He's what? Two feet taller?

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:29:58 AM)
*he chuckled.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:30:37 AM)
Nah, you'd be suprized how well a woman's charms can sooth the fury of even the biggest giant.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:32:51 AM)
"Charms? I think you're talking to the wrong woman cousin."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:34:49 AM)
*he laughs* I think you are overestimating the passion of wilhelm.. I think you could easily subdue him with little effort.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:35:48 AM)
Just bat your eyes all pretty like. Say some nice things, maybe give him a polite friendly hug, and he'd be putty in your hands.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:36:03 AM)
Irene gazes up at her cousin for a moment as she blows upon her coffee. -q- "I could have him wrapped around my little finger in days. I just don't know why I would want that."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:36:42 AM)
Easy answer... to keep Yuri off your back.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:37:42 AM)
"Only to have Wilhelm on my back? Thats no answer."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:38:30 AM)
I doubt that gentle giant would be as forceful as Yuri has been. Especially when you are the one in control.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:39:38 AM)
Seriously... if he wanted to, he'd clearly could have challenge me for Cosette. He simply hasn't because she told him not to. They have both told me that.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:39:48 AM)
Irene moves off to her computer desk, taking a seat and turning the seat about to peer at Steven consideringly. "You really are fixed on this?"

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:41:36 AM)
It's your final choice. But I know that the shining white knight would save the damsel in distress from the clutches of the evil wizard as soon as the messenger gives word.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:42:48 AM)
Closing her eyes, she sits there for a time before raising her coffee to her lips and musing on it. Slowly gulping back the coffee. "If I do this. I never want Yuri to know that I okayed it."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:44:02 AM)
But that would be the easy solution to a lot of our problems. You have your freedom from Yuri, complete control over wilhelm, and I have my wife back. It's win win for both of us.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:45:11 AM)
I won't tell Yuri so long as you don't tell Wilhelm I made such a suggestion.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:45:53 AM)
The giant might be pleasant to you. but he's tear my ears off, stick them in my back pockets just so i could hear him kick my ass better.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:47:04 AM)
Irene just opens her eyes finally and looking him for a few moments. "You think that I'm doing this for you? How ... quant."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:47:48 AM)
not hardly.. Like I said it's not my choice. Im just doing my job and laying down alternative suggestions like a good ragabash should.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:48:58 AM)
And you know how the saying goes ' when given the choice of two evils.. take the lesser of the two' something like that...

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:49:01 AM)
"Sure. So what are you going to tell Wilhelm? Tell me..."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:51:24 AM)
I don't need to tell him anything. You easily have that power to control the man as is. Howeve, I could tell him I heard rumors of Yuri making advances on you against your will, he'd jump right in to save you without second thought.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:54:39 AM)
"Just don't do it in such a way that we lose them as they go at each others throats. Yuri may have done too much... but he may have his uses in time..." Sipping her coffee and shaking her head to herself. "Wilhelm ... this is going to take some getting my head around."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:56:16 AM)
*he nods* Of course.. I do love to torment that theurge.. but he will be useful.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:56:23 AM)
Even Wilhelm knows that.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:56:42 AM)
Maybe he'd beat some sence into him.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:57:19 AM)
"He's the only theurge we really have. Besides, I think, if I went to ever ask him for something... he would do nearly anything for me."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 8:58:22 AM)
*he nods* well yeah, but you know how theurges are... they'd eventually want something in return.. The boon he desires is probably something you don't want to offer.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 8:59:50 AM)
"We'll see. Its still an option." Gulping her coffee again before moving to run her left hands fingers back through her hair. "I'm not going to come back to the chateau, perhaps the bats will stay there now too."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:02:16 AM)
It's how the tribe works.. To put yourself in the best situation possible. When it's most advantageous, take your opportunity.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:03:24 AM)
"This is my place ... not there. It gives a chance for the two of you to really get Cosette pregnant besides. Then Wilhelm will really have no choice but to come here." Smiling in amusement at him.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:04:43 AM)
*he nods* Then perhaps I could just send Wilhelm over to visit you then. Leave talks of Yuri out of it.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:07:14 AM)
"He has to have a reason..." Shrugging. "I don't know ... if bat really does come to see me, things may all change anyway."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:14:11 AM)
*he eyed Irene suspiciously and shrugged it off There was no way she could make any such guess, But it was quite critical they held this ruse* I assure you. Cosette is expecting. You were the first one we told. However don't tell anyone we been trying for a couple months now. She has a reputation to uphold *it was a really convincing lie. (6 suxx on Subter + Manip)*

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:16:39 AM)
A wave of a hand from her after putting her cup aside. "Honestly Steven? I don't really care ... if the baby is "late" then by that point its no big deal. Now or soon she's gonna be pregnant."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:21:18 AM)
*he shrugged* It's all good... If you get Wilhelm out of the house for a few hours, he'll be cockblocking me much less. Weither it's your plan or mine, I will take advantage of the situation.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:23:54 AM)
"That? Far too much information cousin." A small smile at his words though. "I don't even know what interests Wilhelm and I might have ..."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:24:56 AM)
Hey... *he smiles* Im just giving that information for free.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:27:39 AM)
"Yeah ... right." Shaking her head before motioning to Steven's glass of water. "Welcome to married life ... the water is only just the start."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:30:47 AM)
*he chuckled* I know what I got myself into. Im quite fine with that.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:32:25 AM)
"Making babies ocassionally ... and the sex slowly getting less and less." A teasing mile, but thats obvious, since she has already confirmed her lack of experience in anything in that field.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:33:30 AM)
yeah, thats not a problem. I doubt I'll be able to see the kid much.. Ma will always want to come visit.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:34:54 AM)
She'd be all *he makes a really bad female impersonation* Oh steven can I take Junior with me? I don't see him enough, and you are never able to make time for him like you should. *he chuckles a bt..* you know how she is.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:35:47 AM)
*he take a sip of the water still half chuckling*

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:35:47 AM)
"At least you're not an ahroun, its still kin. You should be fine." Smiling to him, trying to give him some hope to look forward to. "And less than you'd think, I kept away from my busybody auntie."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:42:41 AM)
That I dunno... he's not born yet, haven't even called in a theurge to be honest.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:43:02 AM)
With Yuri being the only one, I kinda don't want him near my wife.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:44:10 AM)
"Heh ...." Irene just shaking her head. "Just watch out if he starts saying he can't forget her scent."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:46:13 AM)
It has been a pain in the ass to get ducky off her, and a further pain trying to lure Wilhelm away without pissing him off. I have no desire to let every garou in the area take a turn trying to lure this Ragabash's mate from him.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:47:01 AM)
"Ducky? Oh the fianna?" Smirking at that, as though thats all she needs to say.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:49:36 AM)
*he chuckles* I think that headache is cured.

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:51:38 AM)
I'll tell you what though... As much as I love her, Cosette can be a handfull.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:52:52 AM)
"Uhh, no shit." Irene smirking before taking in a deep breath. "I suppose I should go let you warm up the bed a little for her again. Sorry for the crazy hours."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:53:27 AM)
*he nods.. Yeah Im gonna head out. Stay safe Irene, and good luck.

Irene Copp (Aug 31, 2010 9:53:59 AM)
"You too cousin. Time to get my head around what I just agreed to..."

Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 9:54:36 AM)
*he headed out and back to his car*
