Jason sits on the couch, drinking a cup of coffee, watching Lil freak out over not having a dress for the masquerade tonight. Hell, he didn't even know there was a masquerade.

Oh dear god.

I don't hate him. I reserve that for special people - you know, the ones that try to kill me, or put me in dog kennels type of people.

I'm nnoyed with him, don't understand him; and I'm even over the annoyance part, really. I just had to sit back and think about it for a while though.

About all of it. Jason, I really didn't like having to sit here helpless last night, listening to you... You have no clue how many times I wanted to brain Nate or Gabriel for doing what they did. And knowing you wanted it - or felt you deserved it - just made it worse for me.

And you did it for the same reason that Gabriel would have. And I had to rage at him not to do that. If the pard were stronger and he wanted to sacrifice himself - I may think differently. No I wouldn't, who am I trying to kid. But at least the pard would be stronger, able to take it.

On the other hand, I understand the concepts of discipline - of keeping order and all. I may not do it, but I understand it. It was just..overkill, I guess the word is. Overkill and then some. And I don't think it's necessary. But I haven't been pard that long so maybe you can expain it to me.

*shakes his head, trying not to laugh*

It wasn't overkill. Trust me on this. Because that's what it was about, trust.

*sighs and looks out a nearby window*

I was trusting all of you last night. I trusted Nate to know if it went to far. I trusted Gabriel to stop it if Nate told him to.

*looks at her*

And I trusted you to keep watch over me. I didn't expect to you understand it, but I needed you to trust me, trust us, that we knew what we were doing.

Jason, if I really didn't believe there were forces bigger than I knew about involved, I would have tried to stop it..somehow. Or lessen it. And you know I've done that before.

I didn't. I sat outside, and quietly ranted and raged, and cried for you. But I didn't interfere.

Now, that may be your version of trust, I don't know. You tell me.

And what's with this masquerade deal, anyway?

Leela, the punishment you've seen Raina, and others, hand out wasn't about trust. That was about power. They did that shit because THEY could. Because they were having a bad day or bored.

What you saw last night was me paying for a royal fuckup. And Gabriel was hurting as much as I was. That's the difference. He did it because he had to, not because he wanted to.

And yeah, I could have said no and walked off. I could have told Gabriel I didn't want to go through with the punishment. He offered that, but I know if he did...

If I can't trust him with me, then how can I trust him with Lil and Scud? And if I backed out, the idea that I didn't trust him would have been there. No matter what he says, some part of him would have questioned my trust for him.

oh...

It all kinda looked the same, and it brought back some.. never mind. You were there.

Sorry Jas. I really didn't understand. And that's what I told him last night too - that I didn't understand.

Lil practically runs through the room.

"Thanks for the outfits Leela, but they aren't going to work. I have to go pick up my costume from the shop, your stuff is on Gabriel's bed."

Rushes out the door.

What the fuck is it about costumes and masquerades? Whatever, sure - no worries Lil, bye.

"Red and her crew are having an invitation only masquerade. Dawnie told Lil that it looks like a cover up for an Anti-Raina meeting."

*tilts his head at her*

"The entire pard has been invited."

oh.

I didn't know...hadn't gotten that memo, I guess.

Anti-Raina meeting? wow.

*nods*

Yeah. I wasn't going to go, but Lil talked to Dawnie this morning.

Who knows, maybe it will work.

you think I should go? I don't think Raina is happy with me right now..

You're pard. You go.

*shakes his head at Lil*

Raina would have made it worse, and she wouldn't have stop. Gabriel did only what needed to be done. And it worked, not the way he wanted it to, but it did.

*shrugs*

If you're going to give up your gift, don't do it over this, please?

Believe it or not, Bro - I wasn't even considering this to be the reason I gave up my gift.

It's what its doing to me inside, hardening me - that I'm worried about. And yesterday - when I realized that I had lost control? Major freaking out there.

*voice starting to break* I'd promised myself that I would always be in control, and the first time I got hurt I lost it. Jason - what if I had hurt someone? *looks at the floor again*

*reaches over and pulls her into a hug*

This is why you don't go out by yourself. Not shifted. The longer you're in animal form, the more your instincts shift toward an animal's.

Ask Scud, or Lil when they get back. Hell, the two of them brought down a good sized buck last night. I guarantee it wasn't the human part of their brain that did it either.

*returns his hug* Jason - yea, I realized that. That scared me bad. You have no clue. But I didn't know that - it's not as if you have a manual for this sort of thing you know.

I've been learning it all by trial and error, because either no one else knows - or I didn't want to interrupt, to intrude. There has been some serious shit going on, you know.

Shit Leela, you can ask anytime. You're family, pard. We take care of our own.

And you scared the fuck out of Gabriel yesterday.

Date: 23 Jun 2005 23:51 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] leela1.livejournal.com
*shrug* Dude, you were sick. And Nate had his own worries, and Gabe was half out of his mind with worrying and trying to deny what he felt about, um, well - what he felt about you. So I figured I'd do it on my own.

Always been like that anyhow.

Didn't mean to scare Gabriel, like that. Um, yea. We have to have that talk tonight, also. Sheesh.

*smiles and ducks his head*

Yeah, I know.

*looks up at her*

In the pard, you're never alone, not anymore. Even if you don't keep the gift, you're still part of us.

...can it wait until AFTER the party?

From: [identity profile] leela1.livejournal.com
Ok, now I am going to cry. I thought you couldn't be human and be pard too. It's been tearing me up - the worst part about this whole thing.

Hell's bells I hope Gabriel forgets it completely. He mentioned spanking me Jason. I'm a little bit old to be spanked, you know? Unless it's foreplay. And with Gabe and you..

you know.

*pulls her into another hug* We're family. No matter what.

*grins*

Really...

*hugs, then pulls away, looking him in the eye*

Really, Jason. No spanking the Leela, ok? And for Gods' sakes, do not..

OK, what are you plotting, behind those beautiful eyes of yours?

*gives her his best 'innocent look'*

Me? Plotting? Never.

Scud is also listening to this explanation, off in the background rummaging for something to eat in the fridge.

Jason waits until Leela is distracted with Lil and then throws a couch pillow at Scud's head.

Date: 23 Jun 2005 23:28 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] almostlikestud.livejournal.com
The pillow bounces off his head and into the sink. Scud just gives him a mockingly hurt look, puts his hand over his heart, pulls out the invisible stake, and sits down at the table.

Jason holds up his empty cup and gives Scud a pleading look.

Date: 23 Jun 2005 23:32 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] almostlikestud.livejournal.com
With a long-suffering sigh, Scud gets up and goes over to get Jason's cup. He sneaks a sip on the way back and makes a face as he hands the coffee over.

Laughs and takes the cup back. "It'll stunt your growth."

Scud just grimaces. "I know Gabriel said he didn't have milk, but what about sugar? Jesus christ."
