A Clan Meeting

[Xavier]

OOC: Note - Any Lycan member interested in facing Sam again, please respond in this thread.

BIC:

A cool, collected Xavier walked through the main entranceway to the largest chamber in the Tunnels and sat down in his chair by the fire. He folded his hands and rested his chin on them. He was deep in thought.

(OOC: Sorry it's not longer, folks. I'll make the next one more lengthy.)

[Kage]

Kage entered, standing by the wall. He did not speak for several minutes, then he said, "So what now?"

[Xavier]

Xavier looked up from his gaze into the fire and stared at Kage for a minute.

"I'm not sure. We need to find him...and quickly."

[Sealla (Retired)]

(ooc: I know Sealla hasn’t exactly been healed right now, but I’ll assume it was easy to heal her.)

With a killer of a migraine, the moaning Beta trudged from the goat-skin to the chamber door and stopped, dropping her head in her hands like a porcelain doll. Stupid silver… she muttered in her mind. Her black tresses were messy and ruffled, and partly covering her pale cheeks as she relaxed and leant against the wall beside her.
Finally, after a few long moments, she stepped through the doorway and dragged her feet over to the fire, and dropped to the floor in a break-fall*. She felt so… naked… without the beloved ring on her finger.

With another moan, her palms cradled her face from the dim candlelight.

[Xavier]

A 'thump' echoed through the room as Xavier was startled from his gaze, only to see his love sprawled out on the floor in front of him. He shook his head and got up from his chair. He shuffled his way over to her and knelt down next to Sealla, then gently picked her up and carried her over to his chair, whereupon he sat down and let her rest on his lap, her head over one arm of the chair, and her legs dangling off the other. (OOC: Wow...run-on...heh...)

Xavier stroked Sealla's cheek gently and kissed her lips, which were still pale from the effects of the silver. They hadn't completely worn off yet.

"Why are you up and about, love?" he asked her quietly. "You know you're not strong enough to move around yet."

[Sealla (Retired)]

With her head lollying from side to side as Xavier carried her gingerly to his chair, a little blob (I LOVE that word!!) of saliva dribbled from the crook of Sealla’s lips, and ran down her chin. Her eyes were closed, and her hands still cradling her face from the light.
She’d only just caught Xavier’s words to her.

“Because….. because you are….. and I miss my ring….” she stated sadly as he lay her across his lap.

[Xavier]

Xavier wiped the line of drool off of Sealla's face and kissed her gently, then took out something from his pocket. He slipped it on Sealla's ring finger. It was the ring...only bent...and broken...missing two stones...the other ones were cracked...all except for one...the single diamond, placed in the middle of the other four.

Xavier smiled.

"There...don't miss it any more."

[Sealla (Retired)]

As the once beautiful now deformed ring was slipped onto Sealla’s delicate finger, she opened her icy eyes to gaze upon it. It looked horrible. Her eyes gazed in astonishment at what that boy had done to her ring. Cracked stones, missing stones, bent gold. “Oh Gods…” she uttered and closed her eyes again.

[Xavier]

Xavier frowned when Sealla reacted to the ring's condition. He spoke to her gently.

"I could care less about the ring, darling. I'm just glad that you're going to be okay. I can get it fixed if you want."

[Kage]

Kage raised a hand, "Allow me, good sir."

He muttered a few quick words, making several odd motions with his hands, before pointing at the ring.

With a glimmer of shiny white light, the ring was good as new, and if the others looked closely at it, they would have seen a tiny image of kage inside one of the larger diamonds, waving, before it disappeared.

[†Amelia†]

"oooo...you're good with your hands! ...er...I mean you fixed Momma's ring!"

Amelia said, as she stood blushing in the doorway.

"What's going on?"

[Xavier]

Xavier smiled as Kage fixed the ring.

"Wonderful job, my friend. Are you planning on having that waving image of yourself in her ring forever?"

Xavier gently took the ring off of Sealla's finger and looked at it before putting it back onto Sealla's finger gently, just like the first time he had given it to her.

"There...good as new, love."

He kissed her softly and gave her an embrace.

EDIT:

Xavier looked up as Amelia entered the room. He smirked at her first comment, then smiled and spoke.

"Hello, Amelia. We're pondering ways to get back at that human that hurt Sealla."

[Kage]

"Tie him up, kill him slowly, feed him to the dogs." Kage paused, "Wait a sec, we'd get indigestion. Forget eating him."

[Xavier]

Xavier chuckled.

"Nah...we really shouldn't eat him. He doesn't deserve such a death. Hmm...maybe we should give him the Chinese water torture method? That'd be painful...eventually..."

[†Amelia†]

Amelia glided over and stood beside Kage. From his seated position she rested his head against her stomach and stroked his hair absent-mindedly with a smile fixed across her face.

"What's the 'water torture' method?" she asked Xavier as she looked down at Kage, her eyes sparkling and her cheeks glowing.
