[After Sirens]

[mostbeautiful]

Who: Dorian and Phibrizzo
When: October 14th, just after Sirens
Where: The Streets
Summary: Dorian Gray has been couch surfing for weeks. He's looking for new clients to tutor, to make enough money to set himself up again, in a place he can feel safe, and know that the darkness proofing is safe. And, he took him a little longer to get home than he expected. Sirens! Oh No!
Warnings: Monster Attacks and Anger


The ride took longer than expected, and the walk further than he'd anticipated. He knew he should have started sooner.

When the sirens starts he breaks into a run. Surely it will take some time for the decay to start, right?

Yet he passes an alley, and he hears the growl and the run becomes a sprint, but it isn't quite fast enough...

You little...

My trousers are ruined and I am bleeding. It's the last you can do.

I saved you twice. I've done plenty for you already. It wouldn't kill you to say please, but it might be pretty dangerous for you if I decide to leave.

[He's having a lot more fun with this than his expression lets on.]

If you don't want to be polite, pay me to protect you. Otherwise, you have to say please.

[Groan.]

FINE!

Please!

[Complete with Icon bitch!face.]

[It's an unpleasant lesson but it could have been so much worse if Phibrizzo was in the mood to be sadistic rather than just obnoxious.]

Okay. Where are you staying? If I'm going to use a teleporting spell, I need to know exactly. Otherwise, we could wind up in someone's bathroom or something weird like that, so it'd be better to fly or for me to teleport to the Uzushio.

[At least now he's scaling the torment back to just planting discomforting ideas of what could happen if the magic went wrong.]
