"You don't know how many times I've fallen and couldn't get back up. I've always relied on my mother. If it weren't for her I would never have gotten up." He sighed softly, his face falling into a even deeper frown. "I am weak. It's just the way it is. I can pretend to be the strong one but it only lasts so long." He lifted his hand from her shoulder, pushing a strand of hair away from her lowered face gently. "Thanks for thinking that though."
"But that's just it. You don't have her anymore, but you're still standing," Bleddyn pointed out stubbornly.
She froze as his fingers touched her face; for some reason, it was the most ticklish thing ever. It took everything she had to stifle an involuntary giggle and inch away slowly.
After having safely relocated her face a good foot farther along the countertop, she looked back at him through slitted eyes. "I think you're selling yourself short, but be like that if you want."

"For now I'm standing. But I can't run from my demons forever." Wolfram shrugged, his gaze now stuck on the ground to hide the dissapointment when she moved further away. "Anyway..." He mumbled quietly. Apologize for punching her? No, I would get punched for apologizing...at least slapped...maybe I should leave her alone before her dad sees me...Nah screw it. "Sorry for punching you, by the way. I was...really, really fired up, and I shouldn't have taken it out of you." He winced, realizing how stupid he sounded. But anything to change the subject, right?

Bleddyn gave him a long, strange look. "Away what?"
It may be just me, but he's making less and less sense as this goes on.
"Dude. You have a serious problem with apologizing. So just stop. Also, I initiated that fight." She paused and rubbed her chin, carelessly agitating the pain. "Too bad I didn't get to finish it."

(*slams head into wall* was supposed to mean anyway....not away....)

Wolfram snorted half-heartedly, leaning against the counter. "Yeah, whatever you say, Dyn." He mumbled. "Oh yes, you would have loved to finish that, wouldn't have you?"
 
Connor mentally skimmed the crowd of uneasy teens again and then fixed an icy glare back on Wolfram for a long moment, unconvinced. "You sure about that?"


Ash suddenly skirted away from Wolfram, tossing one last genuinely sympathetic glance in his general direction.
"Alright, I think I've heard enough," she announced to no one in particular, completely at loss as to where to go from here.

Everyone looked an exclusive mess, there was so much comfort needing to be given, and there was so much more she needed to know...

During her dazed wandering, Ash's foot caught on something smack in the middle of the floor. Not really noticing the two other girls already worrying over the motionless woman, she dropped to her knees beside Misty and reached out a hand to wipe away the sickly foam bubbling at her friend's lips. Shocked by just how far her rage had intensified, Ash’s eyes kept themselves riveted on the unconscious wolf-woman for a long moment before she got to her feet with furious resolve.

"Where's River?"
River pushed her ears forward at the unmistakable infuriated snarl of her best friend, Ash, her own stomach twisting violently as her eyes fell on the younger woman, quickly reaching her arm up to wipe away rebel tears that had formed in the corners of her eyes, threatening to drop and reveal her cracked emotions to the fearful others. She ground her fists into her eyes, before dropping them after a few moments, staring into space dumbly until the black spots that had cluttered her vision receded. What am I suppose to say?
She finally pulled herself away from the wall, however much she wished to simply evaporate into a shadow. "I'm here, Ash." She muttered, drawing herself up to her full height of a intimidating six feet and one inch. "Before you start bumbling over your words, don't freak out, and please, one question at a time, I hardly know what's going on as it is."
 
Wolfram snorted half-heartedly, leaning against the counter. "Yeah, whatever you say, Dyn." He mumbled. "Oh yes, you would have loved to finish that, wouldn't have you?"
Bleddyn gave a resigned eye roll when he used her nickname again. "You're not going to stop calling me Dyn, are you?"
She unenthusiastically brandished a fist before letting her hand lifelessly drop back to the countertop. "And, yes, I would've, so don't think for a moment that you're in the clear."
 
Sniffing the air, (he's got super-scent now deal with it) Fritz smelled the familiar scent of the Italian delicacy of pizza.
He sprinted out of the house, and dashed down the street till he finally got to where everyone was gathered and crashed through the wall.

Jessi looked up from where she was trying to convince Toby to stay. She saw Fritz come in, and waved. Toby took that moment to sneak past her, but she grabbed the back of his shirt before he could go anywhere.
