Noe narrowed her eyes watching Alastaire squirm and sputter, Durga was right he was acting way too guilty to be entirely innocent. Even if Loreli wasn't taking her meds, she still would have known better than try and claim a rabbit as a chaperone.
She was a little busy compiling a list of body parts that would be painful to tear off so it took a minute before Durgas words actually kicked in and her face lit up like a kid who just got a new bike on christmas morning.
Aww really? A boy to threaten, on her very own, the tiger was too good to her.
"Freaking out over the living room did make me pretty hungry."
She said getting back up and patting Lorelis hand affectionately before letting go. Then ever so quietly grabbing Alastaire by the arm and hauling him out the door, actually come to think of it she was feeling peckish but that could wait.

The young woman stopped and turned on her heel to glare at Alastaire once they finally got to the kitchen, her foot tapping as if she were impatient.
"I hope you don't think your getting away with anything just because I haven't killed you yet. Only I don't think it would be very gracious of me to dismember and eat you in your uncles house... might mess up the decor. But we need do need to settle some things." She said, leaning on the counter and idly tying some silverware sitting on it into knots, still not taking her eyes off of the hybrid boy.
"Do you have any idea what you did to Loreli? The nightmares, the panic attacks whenever your name was mentioned... and it wasn't because you left. Please don't delude yourself. It was because you didn't leave soon enough!"
Noelle glared at Alastaire, she knew what it felt like all too well to live in that state of constant terror, the fear of others. It hurt her too, unimaginably to see it echoed in the girl who had become like her older sister, and she wasn't going to tolerate it happening again.

"Loreli may like you now but that's because she doesn't know you, as long as that is the case fine! But don't expect me to be nice to you! Unless she can accept you after regaining her memory you will still be on my shit list." It was a short list, Noe had never had anyone to protect before at least no one deserving of it. But Loreli and Durga were nice people, nice enough to accept that sometimes she wasn't and that made it her job to protect them, and while the shifter could lose his temper it was up to her to be really mean. The reached up, because apparently Alastair had a bit of a growth spurt while wandering and yanked him to her level green eyes glittering dangerously.
"And if you ever, ever, hurt her again in anyway you'll wish you were dead. Because I will chop off your naughty bits and it'll be one ball per nostril and the weiner back down your throat to muffle the screams. Then I'll skin you dip you in salt and cut out your liver, maybe set you on fire and then perhaps, if you ask real nice... I'll kill you. Got it?"

Alastaire gulped, avoiding eye contact with Durga, opting to study a snoozing Zane the polar bear instead. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about." He stated with completely fake confidence in his voice. "But I do agree in the medication factor. I mean, Uncle Ren may handle the medicine in the house but Blake's not dead yet, so that's got to stand for something."

He gave Durga a suspicious before eyeing Noelle, blinking when she grabbed an arm and hauled, flailing his free arm slightly as he was dragged out of the room. "Hey!" He sighed, letting himelf be dragged off to the kitchen, giving Noelle a flat look as she began her rant.

"Right, because apparently I'm a sadistic asshole that deserves to rot in hell for breathing. you like guacamole?" He asked, making his way over to the fridge, digging through the food to grab Auntie Kyrra's "Avacado-Tomato-Lime-Salantra-and a hell of other good things" dip and putting it out on the table and making way to grab a bag of tortilla chips.

"I've already heard the speel from Durga, so instead of spending all your time thinking up ways to kill me off, why don't you spend sometime, I don't know, what do you do besides safeguard Loreli like she's your favorite chew toy." Alastaire plopped down in the dining room chair, opening the Tubbaware and dipping a chip inside before tossing it into his mouth.

"I don't know what you two think I am. Sure, I'm probably an idiot for trying to date a woman living with two protective haters, but you have to give me credit, I'm a determined idiot." He chewed absentmindedly.

"I'm pretty sure if I were half the guy you both thought I was, I would of stayed in Austrailia. But I couldn't. And you can't stop me from liking Loreli, unless te two of you kill me, but that'd be a real decriptive and time-consuming hassle according to how you've planned it out." He sent Noelle a flat look.

"And if you're out to get me, I'll fight back with all my resources, and I don't mean running to my parents or aunts or uncles or the like, just me and my powers. No offsense, I'm not up to letting myself get killed off so early in life."

Ren gave Alastaire one last look before looking to Durga. "You do realize that at the very last they'll get blood on the tiles. It's kind of mean to make Kyrra clean that up after you went and dragged this bleeding miss through the halls." He sighed making his way over to Loreli, studying the pills. "These...are just a little something to numb you, I mean, if you want I whip up something else to give you a nap, these'll will give a mind case of your leg feeling like it's asleep."

He eyed Loreli for moment before nudging Zane the polar bear with his foot. "Hey, you, with the fur." Zane lifted her head of snuffed at the vampire. "Yes, you." Ren stated dryly. "Your menace of an owner is downstairs, due to get his ass kicked in, oh..." He glanced at his watch-free wrist. "a few seconds. Shoo, go and sit on tha Noelle girl or something."

Zane gave the male vampire a considerate look for another few moments before settling back down against Loreli's side with a snort.

Ren felt his eye twitch subtly. "I think global warming is godsend." He muttered vehemently, eyeing Usagi-chan, the rabbit baring her teeth at him warningly.

With a huff the vampire turned to Durga. "Now, should I leave and prevent carnage whilst giving the two of you some alone time, or were you planning on knocking me out and tossnig me in the closet to give Noelle time to finish the job?"

Loreli Luna · **Posted:** Tue Mar 09, 2010 10:35 pm

Loreli turned her head in Ren's direction her eyes narrowing dangerously if she could actually see enough to make eye contact the effect would be better.

" No thank you I'll be fine I am not taking any drugs I don't like the way they make me feel. However if I ever want a dealer I'll know who to come to for some recreational drug fun. I'll be fine it's only pain and it will go away if I don't move to much the whole human endorphin thing. "

She shifted a bit ignoring the stab and pull of stitches in her leg but something inside just makes her freak out a little bit at the thought of taking any form of drug stronger than a Tylenol. She shakes her head and nudges the polar bear the creature is warm but they are carnivores after all and they have been known to eat people. Hearing Ren's comment about Durga and a closet she can practically hear the fun little click in her head that tells her Durga is thinking unclean thoughts.

" Really haven't the two of you had enough of each other for the day, I am sorry my head ache interrupted things but just take me home and you can come back here and shag like bunnies for all I care. Besides Noelle won't kill that guy or even seriously hurt him unless he does something stupid then well she is liable to drag him outside and murder him. She does have manners Ren so please be nice she's family, if you and Durga are together you get me and Noe in the mix just like we get Kana. That just makes you surrounded by woman you poor thing, ok not really I don't feel sorry for you since you are at least getting some and i can't even remember if I've ever had any. "

That last bit still pissed her off, she would feel better when she had some idea of her past instead of the parts Durga was willing to share with her.

"No the problem isn't that you're sadistic." Noelle knew sadistic, she had been around some really sick people growing up Nazis and Russian vivisectionists, and whatever she thought of Alastaire he was nothing like that. His problem was much more difficult.
"If you were I would have killed you without so much fanfare. No but you're nearly as bad, you're thoughtless, you didn't really think about what your behavior would do to Loreli despite what you knew of her past." Her eyes wandered to the salty refuge of chips and funky green dip, her mouth watering. Noe couldn't help rolling her own eyes at the kids macho act, yeah yeah he was a big scary fox. Quick get her some doggie booties so she could shake in them.

The were growled then pounced on him mid chip and pulling him into a headlock, the boy might have been taller and more visibly built, but Noelle was tough and wirey even if it wasn't usually in her disposition to use that strength. It was necessary here as the hybrid seemed to think that this was all a big joke, or perhaps he just had difficulty believing a "girl" could take him. Someone needed to make him listen for once in his stupid life.
"Now you listen here, that was just what I could think of between here and the bedroom. But I'm not really angry now, I'm just giving you fair warning. You better start using you're brain and thinking of Loreli's welfare instead of just your own "needs". Otherwise I will kill you, and it will be my pleasure!" But like she had told him, it would just be rude to wreck the house after his family had just gotten settled, and after the mess she had made of their previous residence. If she still wanted to kill him later she could drag him outside.

So she let him go snatching the tub of dip and the chip bag in one final demonstration of how he was not in charge here. Noelle was still quite angry, but being so upset had made her hungry as hell. The salt was calling to her so Noe took a break to scoop up chip after chip full of the stuff wolfing it down barely chewing. Mmm not bad, could stand some bacon though. If Alastaire thought he was going to get any of the dip back he was in for a nasty shock, this was her dip now, and she was crunching down aggressively on the chips in much the same way she had wished to crunch on his fingers when she had found that Lora had been hurt.

Alastaire had half the mind to yank an arm underneath Noelle's knee, sending her crashing back onto the tile floor and getting the party started. Luckily the other half prevailed in the fact that not only was Loreli and Durga upstairs, but his Aunt would really kill him if he gave the girl a concussion.

He gave Noelle a dry look as she hoarded the guac like a starved child before heading over to the fridge and pulling out a really big bowl of Mac and Cheese and tossing it in the microwave for a minute and reaching over to grab a fork.

“I wish you’d get it through your head that I’m not out to hurt Loreli. Alright, I’ve done stupid things in the past, but you look me straight in the eye and tell me you haven’t acted like an idiot in your life, especially about love.” He grabbed the bowl out of the microwave and settled down at the table with a fork, stabbing the macaroni. “Loreli…is my first very poor attempt at love. Since I’m the spawn of the devil you clearly won’t be handing me any benefits of the doubt, so I’m not going to try and reason with you.” He shrugged. “I frankly don’t care what you think, only about Loreli’s opinion. Though I’ll take yours into consideration so long as it’s not ‘throw yourself off a cliff’.”

Alastaire chewed idly, stabbing more Mac and Cheese onto his fork. “But you know, you and Loreli are so, if you stopped or at least cut down on railing me for breathing then maybe you could actually help me not be a complete idiot around her 24-7.”

Kyrra Tsubaki · **Posted:** Mon Mar 15, 2010 4:07 pm

Kyrra blinked as Ren past by her, Kana in his arms. “Oh, alright…” She replied, heading back down into the kitchen, glancing over at Alastaire and Noelle before she poured another glass of water and grabbed a bottle of Tylenol and heading back towards Loreli’s temporary room. She hesitated for a moment before reaching her hand out to knock.

“Um, hello?” Kyrra knocked softly on the door to Loreli’s room before entering silently, looking at Durga and Loreli on the bed. “I brought some more water, as well as some Tylenol. Ren mentioned that Loreli-san didn’t like strong medication, so I brought something mild. With all the drama going on, you’ve probably gotten a headache.” Kyrra stepped forward, placing the glass of water and medication on the bedside table before looking at Durga and Loreli.

“If either of you are getting hungry, I’ll be downstairs in the kitchen, Durga-san, if you feel like helping, then please feel free to come down whenever.” She smiled at the pair as she left the room, closing the door behind her silently.

She made her way downstairs, entering the kitchen and looking at the two kids seated at the table. She smiled at Noelle. “Do you like the guacamole? I’m thinking about cooking up another dinner,” She gave Alastaire a look. “You aren’t causing any trouble, right?” She continued to stare when Alastaire gave her an angelic smile. “Well, I’m cooking dinner, Noelle-kun, do you; Loreli-san and Durga-san have a common food you all enjoy?” She asked.

Noelle narrowed her eyes and stared Alastaire down as he went to find something else to snack on, and came backn getting his own little attitude on.
I have never acted like idiot, not counting full moons, and I most certainly have never done so out of infatuation." She said snapping down on another guacamole covered corn chip, she was pretty sure there was no such thing as love at least not for her kind, and most especially not for her used up and broken as she was. That was just fine.
"You know what, maybe if you actually listened to any of us or asked for help instead of coping an attitude we would help you out... but you don't want help you want someone to say that yes everything you think is right and everyone else is conspiring against you. Well forget it."
Noelle turned her attention even more vigorously to the food, she was getting all worked up again and as much as she wanted to just grab Alastaire by the neck and shake him till hi eyes bugged out while screaming at him all the good advice and insight she had into her two companions, that wouldn't do. Once she got a hold of him it would be just too easy to go completely postal, she had made a decision to behave herself and she was trying.

It was such a relief when Kyrra popped up in the kitchen cheerfully oblivious to the tension between the Shifter and the Wolf, cutting through it like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. The girls hands were shaking just a little bit but she grinned sheepishly wiping some guacamole off her chin. "Yes ma'am it's delicious, do you think you could write out the recipe? It's just I bet Loreli would like it once she's feeling better, and it's sort of a healthy snack right?" The tiger was always trying to get Loreli to eat more, what he needed was to offer something with more flavor.
"Not veggies, Lora hates veggies." Noelle loathed the nasty green things as well, but usually ended up choking them down so Durga wouldn't feel so bad about it. The tiger was some kind of vegetable crusader or something and insisted everything be healthy, neither of the girls was crazy about this.
"Umm, chicken is always good, creamy chicken and rice is the best, with a little broccoli." Truth was Noe wasn't exactly hungry for chicken either, but her friends would like it and she could always raid the refrigerator for bacon or something else later. Her own tastes always ran towards sodium and lots of animal fat, and this was why she wasn't allowed to go grocery shopping anymore, she inevitably came back with lard, ham hocks, bisquick and beans.
