Settling Back In

[Rosyn]

Teegan makes a move to stop Tug from hurting himself but is just slapped away in his rage. When he slumps down against the wall she moves closer to him and starts to say, "how do you expect to exact revenge on anything if you beat yourself silly first?" But her words fall short as Ash offers up another thing for Tug to beat up. So much for her attempt at sensitivity.

never was any good at it...

[Animus]

Animus desperately wants to walk into the shooting range, try to comfort Tug. But doubt keeps him where he is. The nagging suspicion that his actions were part of what set the other Thyrsus off. He makes no effort to hide his discomfort.

[Tug]

Tug doesn't acknowledge anything Ash or Teegan has said, doesn't even look up at them, as his shoulders shudder under the weight of his tears.

[West (The Mage)]

West hears the yelling, and turns in the direction it came from. From what he'd seen of Teegan, she could handle herself -- and he doubted Tug needed a 'talk'; at least, not from him.

Listen, buddy, so your brother over-punted the coverage...

Motioning to Whisper, he said, "Let's go find your boss, OK?"

Whisper, feeling uncomfortable --or realizing West isn't asking a question-- agrees, and both leave.
