Rhage frowned a bit. "The clothes in your shed will not be enough, unless you hid a whole wardrobe in there," he said, smothering a large bowl of mashed potatoes in hot sauce before practically inhaling it. "Let me buy you clothes. Trust me the King gives us more money than we know what to do with, then gets offended when we don't spend it. You'll be doing me a favor. You spend some of the money and I won't have to deal with his whining."

He saluted the Brother that came in moments later. "What's doin V? You look like shit that's been run over by a dump truck," he said in his good natured teasing way. He gave a light hearted laugh before waving a hand towards the female. "This is Juniper. Her family and home were destroyed by Lessers so I brought her here," the underlying tone in his voice told his Brother not to argue with him on the matter. "Juni, this is my smart-ass know-it-all Brother Vischous. If it's on a computer he can find it, hack it, scan it, change it... whatever it is he does."

Meanwhile Noah was staring at Juniper like she had given him the Hope Diamond. By giving a Doggen leave to call you by your name you were giving them the ultimate gift. He bowed deeply to her. "Thank you Miss," he said almost reverently before exiting the room.
Rhage laughed. "Now you've done it. He'll be walking on a cloud for the next week," he said.

Finally full, he stood and offered Juniper his hand. "I'll take you to your room. There are tubs and showers in every room. With jets," he said, wagging his eyebrows but not in a flirty way. More teasing and playful.
Well... maybe a little flirty...

The room was not small but not too large either. A queen sized bed sat against one wall. A vanity and chaise lounge sat atop a beautiful rug that looked easily fifty or so years old. Fresh flowers, pink roses, had been placed in a vase on the table beside the bed. A large red T-shirt had been placed folded on the bed.
"So... uh... we don't have any girly stuff as far as soap," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "But Irish Springs is not that bad right? Anyway, you need anything my room is next door," he said.

Before Juni could go inside a frantic female came racing down the hall. "Please! Someone help! He's going to kill him!"
Rhage swore sharply. "Damn it Z!" he snarled and took off like a shot towards the room she had come from.

Marisol[/center]

Gabe tried desperately to suck in air while trying to pry the Brother's hand from his throat. It was like trying to open a steel vise. "She needs to be with people who know her," he struggled to get out. "Mari is innocent, in every sense of the word. You don't know the shit she's been through, shit her own family did to her. Whatever you intend to do to her, she won't survive it. I don't care if you kill me but I love that girl like she's my own sister and you are NOT going to hurt her. Do you hear me?"

It was very hard to be intimidating and threatening to a male with easily five times your strength and currently holding you off the floor with very little effort.

Back at the manor Mari gasped as the Brother vanished. The yelling from the phone had stopped suddenly and sounds of struggles could be heard. Mari tried phasing but was too shaken to do so. Instead she went with the only option she knew.
Racing outside the door, she found a brightly lit hallway and a male and female speaking. "Please! Someone help! He's going to kill him!"

The male took off and Mari was left standing with the female. She looked close to Mari's age and very pretty, exotic looking.
Mari wrapped her arms around herself, shaking. "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have called him! But I didn't want him to worry about me! And now he's going to kill him and it'll be all my fault!"
