DrZombie said:"Listen, sunflower. Enough is enough, allright." Drake says. "We've all had our troubles tonight, and I ain't judging none of you by what I saw today. You could be the sweetest flower known to mankind, or you could be an arrogant feckin' bitch. I don't know, 'cause I know I sure as hell ain't reacting feckin' normal, and I suspect you ain't either.
I've offered peace, I feckin' suggest you feckin' take it and wait untill you've got yourtogether before you start mouthing off a pissed off Irishman a head taller and 60 lb heavier then you. For all you know I've got a feckin' blade the size of your forearm tucked behind my back and a string of girls ears around my neck. Your adrenalin is talking, not you."
With an effort he composes himself.
"Look, Faith. I offered you my hand. You took it. Leave it at that and stop pissing me off even more. We all have had a bad day, but you're only making it feckin' worse. Who the feck are you to feckin' judge me on a night like this. You don't feckin know me. Hell, I don't feckin' know me after tonight. Part of me wants to pound you into little snotty bits, and part of me is horrified of even thinking about beating a sixteen year old girl, or whatever age you are. So stop feckin' pushing me."
The last sentence comes out as a snarl.
"You just don't get it, its not about you, or your pride, or your feelings. It isn't even about the fact that you are pissing me off royally by treating me like a little kid. Its about the pack. What a pack member does can affect all of us, can screw over all of us. You screwed over Piotr with Buzz and this Moriarty. Your in the process of screwing us all over with Roman by not fufilling his request, and it is a rather easy request, we did all hear you make a whole sentence without curses after all. This is freaking all of us out, its not like I don't know that, its not like we shouldn't be freaking out a litte." Faith replies standing her ground in the face of the snarling Drake.
"The difference between us is that I'm thinking about the rest of the pack, your just thinking about yourself. Freak out all you want, just don't screw over the rest of us while you do it. This is not something I am going to back down over. Your treating it like its a joke, or your ignoring it, neither of those is acceptable. Stop screwing all of us over and this is over, its as simple as that. Its not an unreasonable request to make. I don't want to fight you, but over this I feel like I have to." the pink haired girl informs him and then smiles, "by the way, if you call me sunflower again I'm going to eat your face." she says sweetly.
"This has got to be the most surreal thing I've ever seen," Ari mutters.
She gets tiredly to her feet and stands between Faith and Drake, though not with hands outstretched or any theatrics.
"First of all, Faith, there's a few things you need to factor into your plan here. First...and I know this sucks hard to hear, but you -are- a kid. That doesn't mean you don't deserve respect or anything like that, but you need to recognize that. Second, and believe me, I have some experience with this...beating someone up does -not- change who they are. Even if you do wolf out and mess Drake up, all that'll do is piss him off and make this whole thing worse. Basically, as things stand, you're sorta...'pack minded' and Drake isn't. That pisses you off. I get that. I think we all do. But he's not gonna magically turn into Prince Charming because you bit his neck open. People need time to change, and that's pretty much that."
She rubs her forehead. "And I wouldn't be so quick to assume that Max is holding all of us responsible for Drake's compulsion to flip off authority. Lets wait and see what he's got to say before we flip out and go mental, alright?"
Ari then looks over at Drake. "And I think we'd ALL appreciate it if you'd stop intentionally provoking her. She's had it rough, she's on edge, and no one's impressed by your willingness to scrap with a sixteen year old girl. Alright? We have a truce here?"

Piotr watched Ari intervene. Defusing situations did seem to be part of a cop's job after all and she came across as doing it competently. He would say something but... he wasn't smart enough or glib enough to help cool the situation. Disgression being the better part of valour Piotr decided to keep his clumsy mouth shut.

Drake looks at Ari and Faith dumbfounded. "Que?"
He scratches his head.
"I thought I just said I was sorry and offered to shake hands, then told her i really really didn't wanna fight her. Feckin' hell. This is one hell of a crowd."
"Let me make this clear, without any feckin' curses.
I do not want to fight anyone, especially not a sixteen year old girl.
I do not want to get shouted at by anyone, especially not a sixteen year old girl.
Whatever happened between me, Watson and Moriarty is between me, Watson and Moriarty. Especially since it happened befor either me or Watson figured out that the lot of us were werewolves, or that I was part of a pack, 'same with Roman here, allright. "

Faith shrugs when Ari moves between them. "I already said that I don't particularly want to fight him, I told him what he has to do for us to get passed this. He is the one behaving like a child, thinking only about himself not I. What he does and says has consequences for the rest of us, I'm simply introducing some more immediate consequences. If he has to fight everytime he mouths off then win or lose he might think about it a bit more beforehand."
"Not being able to change people, well when your humans you can just avoid people that cause problems, you don't have to see each other, as werewolfs that is going to be very very different since we are going to have to rely on each other completely. If he wants to be in the pack, he just needs to acknowledge that. This all goes away if he admits that what he does is going to affect all of us, and that he is going to think about what he says before he says it. We're all going to be angry a lot I think, and we are going to do and say things, but I do want him, want all of us, to at least try."
"Ari, recognize that as of tonight we are all 1 day old as werewolves, thats it. No one has been one of the Uratha any longer or any shorter then I have. We are all cubs right now, and human age has little to do with age as an Uratha. We all have about the same amount of experience with Uratha stuff, so remember to keep that in mind. My opinions are no less intelligent then yours or anyone elses. I am not going to be treated like I am inferior to anyone." Faith says, sounding calmer and more collected.

"I didn't actually shout at you at all actually, that wouldn't have helped anything, but ok, if everything is calming down, then fine. Like I said, I didn't want to fight, but I was willing to. Thank you for respecting Roman's request since we are in his home, and it would be rude to disrespect his hospitality. I don't hate you or anything, I just want you to watch your manners when bad manners can get us into fights, I don't want you to do it all the time, or change yourself, I just want you to do it when its important."
"Your sort of missing the point though, you called Moriarty names in front of his packmate and she stormed off in a huff. That is what I was talking about, not anything that happened before. Just watch that stuf and we're cool. Are you willing to do that?" Faith asks sounding even calmer now that Drake had said he didn't want to fight.

"yeah well, we're all missing the point here, I reckon.Like I feckin said, let's just wait with shouting and fighting untill we get to know each other a lot better. Like you getting pissed off at being called sunflower and me not even considering that you would be offended."
"Lets's just go out fer a few beers after Mr. Roman has told us a little more, or just come over to the feckin' show tonight." He looks at Faith. "Could try to get you in as my little sister wanting to have a peek at her big brother doing a live show, if I wasn't afraid you'd bite my nose off at the mere thought of it." His smile takes the sting out of the words.
He looks at Ari. "Ah yeah, and it would, offcourse, be a bit of an offence. Mmmh. Might not be the brightest idea of today."
He laughs.
"Yeah, bein' friends with a copper 's gonna be a feckin' adjustment."
"Is there, like a park or something where we can meet tomorrow? Late afternoon?"

"I wasn't offended that you were calling me sunflower, I was offended that you were doing it to make light of the problem that I was pointing out. Its over for now I guess since your making the effort, thank you." Faith said, nodding his head in acknowledgement of the effort that Drake was making. It was good enough for her.
"There is a park and a lake on the edge of the Hillside Heights development, actually its between Hillside Heights and another development. If we want it I guess it would be a good placefor our pack to meet or whatever if we want to stay away from humans."
"I don't think going to your performance is such a good idea tonight Drake, you already said you beat some guy bloody, do you think it'd be wiser to stick around and find out all we can from Roman before getting into a situation. Drinkinng might not be a good idea either...up to you though."
