Family Issues
Kristoff, after talking to Vincent and after confirming that all was going well with the cleanup and restoration of the transformed, went upstairs to check on his wife.

	If there was one thing Cassie hated about bedrest, one thing other than being confined to her room, being bored to tears most of the time, unable to do the stuff she wanted to do, unable- the list went on. But if there was one thing it was safe to say she hated the most about it it was having to sit out when her family was in danger. "Kristoff? Is everything all right?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Everyone is physically safe, and the affected bystanders will recover completely," he begins by assuring her. "But I am not sure how honestly I can say that things are 'all right'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She was afraid of that. "What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A dimensionally displaced sorceror was using clearly purposefully non-lethal, reversible attacks. Obviously, he needed to be stopped, but when I tried to disarm him, Vincent immediately segued into a direct attack on his nervous system, and things continued to escalate rapidly."

And, the last part. "He was a Von Doom. He was family. I should have realized how hatefully Vincent would react, but I did not manage to do anything to prevent or diffuse the situation, so any hope we might have had for eventually negotiating with this person is gone."

	Cassie reached for his hand. "It's not your fault. I don't know what's wrong with Vincent but he knows better than to-" And right now she wanted to slap Vincent. A lot. "And don't start blaming yourself for how you raised him. Vincent's an adult, he's responsible for his own actions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes her hand, kisses it, and sits beside her. "As you wish." He tries to manage a small smile, but it doesn't work very well. "He's acknowledged he behaved wrongly, which I appreciate, but... there is still much to be concerned with. Among which, the fact that we now have an exceptionally talented and much more hostile trans-reality brother at large." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She squeezed his hand. "What did you manage to find out about him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He leaned his face against her neck a little. "His name is Taliesin. He has some degree of fay heritage. He apparently cannot get home, and is facing the problem like...well, like a Von Doom." Badly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With her free hand, Cassie massaged Kristoff's shoulder. "And now you don't know where he is? Do you know how he might have come here in the first place?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not at present. Most likely mystical."

Being able to be tense even by Kristoff standards is impressive, but he seems to suddenly recall that she's nearly six months pregnant, and shifts position to deal with hers in turn.

"Andrea has uploaded the recordings; they can be looked over...later... for any information we can ascertain. In the meantime, aside from magical additions to the various monitoring systems... and a psychiatric appointment for Vincent... I am not certain what to do."

	Cassie leaned forward to kiss him. "You're doing the best you can. You've had to deal with a lot. I just wish I could help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2010-05-12 02:52 am UTC (link)
	He kisses her. "You have no idea what a relief it is that you and the baby remain in good health." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're fine. We'll both be fine. So don't worry." Of course she couldn't make that guarantee but since when did that stop her? Besides, everything was going well. So long as she stayed in bed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I love you so much." He's still reeling, a little, from the situation out of control. From the way that his brother, even with the best of intentions, didn't seem to understand how he was overlooking or miscategorizing him, how Kristoff felt. But just being with her makes everything a little easier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I love you too. And I know that whatever happens you'll be able to face it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you. I appreciate the confidence," he says very sincerely. (Reply to this)(Parent)
