open_flameNathan : *knocks on door of island house*
Liz :*still on the phone with @SamZMyers* Just...come in, it's open.
Nathan : * slides inside the house his body language tense and uneasy. *
Liz : Hey...I was just gonna call you. *tries to hide the fact she's been crying* What's up?
Nathan :*Nathan swallows hard* Jack is gone.
Liz : ...What are you talking about, he's with the boys. He always spends the days with the boys. They found this cave thing.
Nathan :*Nathan swallows again* I took him into Fae. He asked....I tried to warn him but he wouldn't listen he demanded.
Liz : *surprisingly calm, almost too calm* The...Fae...took my husband. *nods, exhales* What were you trying to warn him about?
Nathan : The older Trevor, he's been taken as well. *Nathan looks like he's aged twenty years in the past few days*
Liz : No....*spoken as though her saying it will make it true* He's in Jersey, at the house laying low like he promised.
Nathan : Then explain to me how a young girl named Sam wound up here with his charm around her neck if he's in Jersey?
Liz :She...*jawdrop* Oh...fuck... *headshake* Where is he, where...*stutters* Where...did they take him, both of them? We're going. Now. That is an...that's an order, you got me? Take me there. NOW.
Nathan :Liz I can't....mortals are not allowed in. And dammit I will not risk your life or the baby's.
Liz : *clenches her teeth* I wasn't -asking-, Nathan. I've been in Fae before. Tell me how to get in before I make you tell me.
Nathan :*clenches his fist* Take the Oath Liz then you and I can enter safely.
Liz :*scoffs* You're kidding, right? *her hands are flickering, but she nods* Fine, but I have a few conditions I want met.
Nathan : I can't promise they will be met, but go ahead.
Liz :What...do I just tell you my demands or...what? *skeptical that it's that easy* Isn't that kinda a conflict of interest?
Nathan :*sighs and removes a brooch from his pocket* I can call my king if you want but we have to go outside. I won't spill blood in your home.
Liz :Oh but my deck is fine? *grossed out face* Why do you have to spill blood? *still basically clueless about Fae out of fear*
Nathan : *shakes his head* It has to spill on the earth and it's only a few drops Liz don't look so grossed out.
Liz : Fuck you! *misdirected aggression like whoa* Just do it so I can sign this damn contact already, OK?
Nathan : *glares at her as he heads outside were a fox is waiting in the grass* One thank you, just one would be nice.
Liz :*sarcasm* Thank for dropping into our lives and bringing a war with you and telling me I have to be a knight to keep two of the three men I love more than life itself safe, Nathan. *folds her arms and scowls at the fox* Where'd that thing come from? I...have a bad history with foxes.
Nathan :Like I had any choice in the matter. *Nathan's tone is equally dry and sarcastic* I was told where to go and what to do *Nathan smiles at the fox and kneels to pet it* And this is Alex he isn't going to hurt you he is my Fae guide. One will find you once you enter the wilds of Fae. They are there it be your better half in Fae and guide you when you need it.
Liz : Yeah...like in 'Fight Club' *huffs* No deal If I get a friggin' penguin. That's too cute.* she sighs and tugs on Nathan's arm to get him away from the fox. * Hey, what if we both asked for stuff. I mean, you're the last Knight and I'm kinda doing them a favor doing this so they...owe us, right? *hopeful nod* You got a really raw deal, even if they -did- save you.
Nathan : *looks at her puzzled* What do you mean? What favor could I even need to ask for.
Liz : I donno...but I'm picking up all kinds of horrible feelings off you every time you're around. There's got to be something you wish you could...change about your life, right?
Nathan :*shrugs* There are things I wish I could change and things I wish had never happened but that isn't the answer to this Liz.
Liz :Why not? *dead srs* They mess with our lives, they influence us to there own devices. Why shouldn't we take back a little control from them if the opportunity presents itself? *trying to sound calm and rational* Only seems fair.
Nathan :Yes because asking for something right now is just the thing to do. *Nathan snaps* There is a time to be selfish and now is not it.
Liz : The Fae have been treating my family and me like pieces in their games for years. Why shouldn't I ask for something?
Nathan :You may think it's alright to ask for something, but I don't Liz. Not when they could lose everything just like we have.
Liz :They have Jack, they have Trevor...they TOOK them, I didn't LOSE them. I getting them back, with your approval or without.
Nathan :It is not my approval you need Liz, it's my help. I am the only trained Knight left. Without me nothing is going to happen and I keep trying to tell you....you need to calm down and fucking think for a second before you get killed.
Liz :I am calm. If I wasn't, you'd be a pile of ashes. You wanna help, get me Knighted, NOW.
Nathan :*glares as he uses the charm to slice a thin line across his palm. A few drops of blood splash across the ground* There is one one who would take the oath my lord King, Come to us and test the worthy one
Belenus *a handsome man appears a moment later a fishing pole resting against his shoulder* Elizabeth. it is good to see you again.
Liz :*she refrains from saying it's NEVER good to see him, and instead says* New face, like someone else I know.
Nathan :*Nathan stands silently watching the pair work out their issues*
Belenus :he chuckles* I figured you would prefer my mortal face this time around.
Liz : *eyebrow* Not as helpful as you might think.
Belenus : I see. *sets the fishing pole against a tree* Speak your mind to me child. Do you join with us of your own free will?
Liz :*she hesitates. she wouldn't call it 'free will' but 'no other option'* Yeah, sure.
Belenus :To business. Elizabeth, do you take this oath of your own free will?
Liz :What part of 'yeah sure' wasn't clear? Yes. Affirmative. *firmly* Just do it.
Liz :*still on the phone with @SamZMyers* Just...come in, it's open.
