Compound: Tegan calls out Aric

Aric Chase

June 19 

*Checking his watch he double timed it down the hall. He had a meeting scheduled with Tegan and that Gen One became downright volatile when someone was late. Skidding around the last corner he runs smack into the man himself.* OH SHIT! Sorry Sir. Umm, I was on my way to your office right now.

Unlike

  Tegan GenOne I'm sure you were *He couldn't help the automatic glower that spread across his face. He had just been on his way to get the kid...perhaps in a manner Tavia would disagree with*

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *He steps back from the glower* Sir, shall we go back to your office? Or would you rather just speak here in the hallway.*Thinking to himself that if they are in the hallway someone might be able to hear his screams*

  Tegan GenOne Since we've both been acquainted, I believe we'll just duke it out here *He smirked, his eyes narrowing as he took in the shifty position of the young Breed in front of him* You know what this is going to be about, yeah?

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *He stills. So many things running through his mind. He tried frantically to pinpoint which one of his transgressions would warrant a Tegan Talk". Those things always made him twitchy as hell. Suddenly he remembered, Carys, Oh hell yeah, this wasn't about him after all. Was it?* Ummm, Well Sir, is this about Carys?

  Tegan GenOne *He nodded, his arms crossed over his chest as he evaluated everything about Aric. Even without a direct contact, if the Breed lied, he would know. There had been a big blow up about the picture, no doubt resulting in tension between the siblings* Indirectly, it's about Carys, but I want to know how you're handling it

  Aric Chase *He shrugs* The bastard is still alive if that is what you are asking. I haven't even been near the Dome, I didn't want to have to resist temptation. As for Sis and I, we will get by it eventually.

  
  
• 
  

  Tegan GenOne And I do hope you stand by those rules. The warriors of the Dome are nothing to trifle with. You may have had extensive training, but so have they. I hope you'll remember what Sterling taught you. Avoid fighting in anger. Your emotions will get the best...or worst of you

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *He stands a little straighter*Yes Sir.*Dad had constantly reminded him about putting away the emotions until after the fight. Dad was a ruthless warrior when he needed to be.*I understand Sir, I have many other duties to keep me occupied currently. I have no plans to engage the fighter*he snarls over the word*

  
  
• 
  

  Tegan GenOne *He chuckled. The anger was warranted. Even though he had no siblings to speak of, he held the same protective instincts over the breedmates. The picture had been a low blow by Dia* How committed are you to sticking by your sister?

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *He meets Tegans eye*100% committed. Whatever she needs. That isn't even a question in my mind, Sir. Should I be concerned?

  
  
• 
  

  Tegan GenOne Not at all. I'm merely testing the waters on a few things. *He shook his head, eyes glancing towards his watch* You and I may have a cause for another meeting in a few days. But as of now, I do have another pressing issue that needs my attention

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *He nods his head* Of course Sir, I am available anytime. Don't let me hold you up Tegan, have a good night.*He watches as one of their oldest and most respected warriors turns and heads back down the hall toward his office. As the door closes and Tegans next meeting begins, Aric turns back in the direction of his suite of rooms. All the while, wondering what the next few days will bring.*
