Dogmeat

[Lovely]

1 a.m.
Gabe's Keep - grand hall

Larson had pulled Aaron aside for a little heartless-to-heartless chat, thinking the boy didn't like him much, probably because he'd been around longer than him and maybe he was just a little jealous of the other childe. There had to be some reason for his behavior. -Got something to prove?-

-Nah.. you see I don't want to be captain-

-Oh? What do you want?-

*inhales off his cig and smiles*

-You know... those'll kill you - lemme bum one-
*grins*

*hands him the pack and his lighter, a nice piece with a dragon carved into it. lets him take his smoke or two and use the lighter*
-See, something happens.. something f*cks up.. who is he going to go looking for? You, my friend. You're the captain buck passes to you.. I like my head where it is and it's not so bad being .. just being me.. -
*smiles again*

-Thing about being captain, though, is being able to dispose of the ones that annoy me and blame it on their own stupidity on their mission - just like passing the ball... just blame the quarterback, not the coach. Sure, he'll come after me someday, but not soon.-

-Oh well obviously you know Gabe so well.. and you have nothing to worry about..-
*chuckles*

-Well enough - got his blood, just like you. He won't let it go to waste just yet.-
*checks watch*
-Maybe tomorrow, but not tonight. Leaves me a few good hours for some fun-

-Yeah-
*he chuckled again*
-You're family.. you're blood.. like his son even.. only difference between you and his other disposable minions? He likes you.. at least for now..-

*nods and chuckles*
-Like I said - a few good hours.-
*stands up and flicks ash to the stones*
-You coming with me or what?-

*looks toward the hall that leads to Gabe's office and further to his private quarters.*
-I should probably go say hello, don't you think?-
*grins and looks back to Larson*
-eh.. I'll say hi in the morning..-

-Hmm wake him up or disturb his meditation? Tough choice. If he needs either of us, he'll let us know.-

-You seem to think my concern is in disturbing him... man he's always been disturbed-
*makes a little motion around his temple to indicate the sort of disturbed he meant*

*Shrugs*
-I don't care if you disturb him, just distracting him that makes him edgy. Suit yourself. If he's in a talkative mood, you'll be sorry-
*grins*
-He's been a wee-little bit upset and I need to do something about that. Something about getting 'ahead' in the game?-

-Oh? What's he pissy about now? Been away awhile.. you know man.. not all up on the gossip. Lots of faces around here.. new fresh faces. He's been busy.. I'm curious as to why he ... 'called' for me.. but not so curious to pass up some fun first.-

-History repeating, my friend. Only this time, the lineup's a little more tasty for trouble. His honey daughter snuck away in the night... with a little help. Before I got here, but he doesn't want to get his hands dirty... looks like he doesn't need to.-
*Pulls out blade, cleans it up a little*

-Oh, now I know why I'm here.. no need to see him. Just so we're straight man.. you're not planning to use that on my sister right?-

-Are you nuts? This isn't for her.. If he's in that bad a mood, he'll save that for himself. This is for the one that busted up the place and made dogmeat of some of his finest.-

-He's never in that bad of a mood.. he'd destroy the world before he killed her..-
*he winked, still grinning*
So.. who is this dogmeat?

-You, if you keep asking questions. If you're coming with me, you'll find out.-

-Ooo sweety you keep talking dirty to me and I might just have to kiss you..-
*he laughed and brushed passed him to head towards the door*
-Come on.. you can tell me on the way..-
