Message: <blockquote data-quote="izillama" data-source="post: 5041629" data-attributes="member: 79171">Clover felt the hairs on the back of her neck fluster momentarily, unhappy with the sudden confrontational air that surrounded them. She paused a moment, framing her words carefully, then drew herself up to her full height and spoke evenly (though politely, so as not to make Ruby feel like Clover was trying to explain something to a simpleton), "Ruby. I appreciate your initiative. However, until Koln figures out who is or isn't in that house, why don't we continue waiting at the place he thinks we're waiting. As I said before--though I don't doubt he can take care of himself--we should be cautious about leaving him in an unknown situation."At that point she broke ties with her even speech (since she sensed, or at least hoped, that the anger Ruby felt towards her was dissolving). Clover let it all out, "Ok, look! We already lost him once tonight. It's obvious that his hold on reality is anything but normal. He went after that bastard of a vampire! What if he had found him? Or thought that he had found him? He doesn't know what's real! I mean, Ruby! I appreciate the fact that he's... well... a man, and can take care of himself. And I don't want to treat him like a child, for God's sake! But at this point, him being so lost, we might as well assume he has the simple mentality of a child. No, Ruby! I'm not trying to make you upset here! Just listen to me. "Koln is a great man. I'm sure of it! He's gentle and kind, so far as I can tell. He's very considerate. But I saw his past! And he's not himself anymore. He's... very changed. Ruby, I feel like we need to protect him. Despite our own handicaps as vampires, Ruby, we need to keep an eye on him. Because if it ever comes to it... he's going to need a good pair of friends around to tell him what's real and what's not..."Her voice trailed off, the barn sounding very quiet now that her passionate rant was finished. Ruby was eerily quiet as well, and she hesitated before her final point, "Um... besides, Ruby. I somehow don't think that Lacey girl is any more stable than he is. Do you really want to leave him alone with her while the two of them traipse through dreamland?" She smiled sadly, hoping to bring Ruby back towards her side.btw, I love Ruby! I hate making her upset! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
