Hunter's eyes narrows as she shifts and darts under the bed. "Oh, this will just make things worse for you. Here little birdy," He places a hand on the bedframe and begins to slide it over to reveal the small shifter girl. "Come here or you'll never see Rosey,"

Hunter looks up as Brianna spoke to him. "Hmm, all right. I'll do what I can," He nods and looks over at the small girl. He slides a knife out of a sheathe on his belt, gripping it tightly. A cut or two on her face would definitely scare Ambrose. He approaches her steadily. "How about we say hi, to this Rosey of yours." He says, voice much colder than Brianna's.
Brianna scoffs momentarily, "Not when he sees what we're going to do to you," she mutters beneath her breath. She looks over the equipment when Ptelea points to it. "Given the scattered state of your family I do wonder if you've ever had the pleasure of a web chat. Let's say this is a more high quality version of that."

"Well, don't you worry." Brianna retreats from the cell, back to one of the desks she and Hunter had set up and continues to check that the camera equipment is ready. "You'll see him very soon. Trust me though, he's hardly going to be delighted to see you." Scaring the girl had been harder than she thought. It certainly wouldn't get easier when it came to experimentation, no matter how less dangerous the experiments might be.

Vera nodded wordlessly and watched Destin enter the camp before turning and sprinting back towards the river where she had left Fabine and Kianna. Now to make sure I complete my first and most important task... Don't let Fabine get killed, she thought with a sigh.
<Snipped quote by Fionraella>
Vera nods slowly. "I didn't know that," she said simply. Over the course of their walk, Vera had come to understand Destin's intentions and felt sympathy for the boy, although she knew nothing could be settled until Fabine returned. "We're almost to the camp," she began, hesitating before adding, "so can I trust you to stay there until Fabine and I return?"
<Snipped quote by Fionraella>
Vera shrugged and nodded. "I'm fine, but... I mean..." she struggled to find the right words. "Is it really that bad here?" she finally said softly. She recalled the time she ran into a Rabin at the river that she'd nearly fought with, but ended up instead arguing about the differences in their two groups. "What's so wrong with the Broms that you'd rather leave all of your friends for strangers?"
<Snipped quote by Fionraella>
Vera nodded her head once with a serious look in her eye. "I won't tell him," she promised, feeling a hint of satisfaction that he was no longer resisting. "If everything works out, you can at least have some nice closure before you leave," she sighed, her eyes and tone revealing a bit of the hurt that struck her at the thought of him abandoning the Broms.
<Snipped quote by Fionraella>
"I'm not telling you what to do," Vera sighed. "But you'll deal with a whole lot less heartbreak if you just keep quiet for now. If you leave again without talking to Fabine, you know he won't take that very well," she pointed out. She shivered slightly at the thought of ending up on his bad side. "I'm suggesting that you calm down and don't do anything irrational."
<Snipped quote by Fionraella>
Vera let out a long sigh. "Well, I don't have much experience with love, but that does make it difficult." She paused and glanced down at the small, struggling healer and her eyes glazed over with sympathy. "I had friends that used to say this much though: sometimes you need to let the things you love go. But if it comes back to you, then it's yours." She chuckled slightly. "I never really understood that much, but maybe it'd mean more to you."
