Edgeworth seemed a little perturbed when Dimitri came at him for a hug. But not for long. His stiffened posture slowly relaxed and he released a soft sigh from his lungs once squeezed. In the next moment, he had his arms around the taller male and gently patted his lower back.

“You deserve it.” He stated simply, and then released the other,…[Read more]

Edgeworth dumped another stack of heavy looking leather-bound legal books on Dimitri’s working desk and stood over them, folding his arms as his attention drifted down towards his protégé. Although he wasn’t angry as all, his expression was still very stern. He had been playing a conversation in his mind for the last few hours and only now did h…[Read more]

“He means well but ultimately, he’s still an idiot…” Kalysto groaned, but slowly nodded his head as he couldn’t really refute Desiree’s suggestion with how terrible he felt. After being kissed, he reached up to touch her face.

“See you later then, I suppose…” He stated as he rolled onto his side, resting the injured leg ontop of his good one.…[Read more]

Rhyderi sighed and lowered his head, conceding defeat. “Fine. I just suggested it because it was a familiar path to take. You obviously didn’t have to. It seems you have a better idea of what to do and you don’t need me around any more to take care of your offspring, so I think I will take my leave now.”

He gave a respectful nod and left the…[Read more]

“I doubt it. Nobody has ever managed to eradicate the scourge virus… they’re not going to be able to cure it.” Rhyderi scowled. “It’s got magic properties, it’s no ordinary illness. You’re fooling yourself if you think something good will come of taking him back. Talk to the troll, he will know what to do.”

“We’re not taking him anywhere, you’re right.” Rhyderi folded his arms. “I didn’t say that. Weren’t we discussing talking to other people? I still recommend talking to the Troll… he’ll know something, I know he will.” He narrowed his eyes as he glanced down at Kalysto. “Help us out here.”

“I don’t want to go back to him!” Kalysto responded suddenly. “Don’t make me go back there, I don’t particularly want that creepy guy jamming things in my leg again…” He curled up on the bed, trying to make it clear that he didn’t want to move.

“OK so maybe the Troll can’t come up with anything to do,” Rhyderi sighed, “But he could be able to…[Read more]

Rhyderi released a sad sigh and took a seat on the edge of the bed. “Do you really want to risk your family on a hunch? How do you know it’s not contagious? Can you be 100% sure of it? I’d suggest finding that Troll and asking him what to do. He did something before, he’d probably know what to do again, right?”

“Shit…” Kalysto closed his eyes,…[Read more]

Rhyderi gritted his teeth in disgust as he heard Desiree’s commentary. “Th…. thanks for that… charming mental picture…” He shook his head. “That troll didn’t cure anything – how can anyone cure the Scourge virus? You don’t cure it, you quarantine the infected and burn the bodies to stop the spread. I honestly don’t know how he hasn’t…[Read more]

“Illness..?” Kalysto growled. “Did I not explain what happened in the hospital? That idiot doctor tied me down and took bone marrow because I have the Scourge virus resident and dormant in my body… don’t you remember how I told you about that? I nearly died from it when I was a kid.” He kicked his leg at Rhyderi, shoving him away. “Then my own…[Read more]

“Yes he is… come down here and sniff that.” Rhyderi pointed to one of the higher surgical wounds near Kalysto’s groin-area. “Something is wrong with him on the inside. It smells like death and decay.”

Kalysto groaned. “It’s probably nothing, stop worrying about it… it wouldn’t even be there if that idiot hadn’t tied me down and drilled holes…[Read more]

“He most definitely is in pain…” Rhyderi muttered as he leaned down to examine Kalysto’s leg more closely. He traced his fingers over the surgical sites, trying to determine the source of the pain. After another few moments of examination, he retracted his hands and abruptly moved away. “By the Light… what is that smell?”

He cautiously…[Read more]

Rhyderi raised both brows, looking utterly confused. “Bone marrow? What in the world would they want that for…?” He slowly shook his head in disbelief, then rose off the couch. “He must be really sick if they want that. I don’t even know what you would use it for…”

He disappeared out of the room and headed into the master bedroom. Within the…[Read more]

Rhyderi raised a brow. “He’s in pain? Tests? How can he be in pain if it was improper to operate on him? What in the world happened to him if he wasn’t operated on?” The Paladin seemed highly confused. He slowly shook his head and turned his attention towards the doorway, debating whether or not he should pursue his brother. “Is he well?”

Kalysto put his head down on the bed. He felt lousy and he was in pain now that the anaesthetic was well into wearing off.

Rhyderi had been keeping himself busy by entertaining the youngsters. He had Baneledis in his lap and was tickling the boy. When Desiree approached him, he looked up at her and nodded his head. “Mm, I can see that. I trust…[Read more]

Kalysto slowly shook his head. “No, there’s nothing I want, except to lie down for awhile and… I don’t even know…” He put his head down on the pillow and curled up, genuinely feeling like he wanted to die at that moment.

Kalysto groaned with unhappiness as he curled up on the back seat of the car. For the drive home, he didn’t move very much. He was uncomfortable and very discontent with the day’s proceedings. When the car got back to the house, he didn’t move.

Once he was laid out on the backseat, Kalysto curled up, scowling with contempt as he felt the effects of the anaesthetic begin to wear off. His leg hurt and he was not at all happy.

“Just drive us home…” He groaned. He wanted to sleep. “Did you get your… uh… what was it…? Did you get it done?”

Kalysto clamoured into the chair, looking particularly grumpy when he got seated about as comfortably as he could manage. He crossed his arms across his chest and deeply scowled, frustrated with the entire day’s events thus-far.

“Let’s go home… Stuff me into the backseat of the car or something…” He huffed.

“I’m going to be in pain for a long time!” Kalysto growled. “I’ve already told you what he did to me. I didn’t consent to it, and he did it anyway! I demand justice. I’m going to sue him as soon as I’m able to…” He tried to stand, ending up cringing in pain. “God… I think the vasectomy would have been less painful..”
