Ben opened the bag and took a long look at the book. He inspected the outside, but didn't open it. "So the Child of Gaia opened it?" he asked. "I will need to talk him then." He didn't open the book himself, but instead placed back in the bag. "The occult... not really my specialty," he said. "Spirits and rites are more my speed. But Spirits might know about this. And Walks-with-Death-Rhya might. Do you mind if I take the book?" He closed the bag again. "Do you have any clue what the book was doing?" he asked. He paused, looked at Nadya and tried to figure out what she was talking about. "Do you mind if I question Anna and Kamut as well?"

"Well at least he claimed to know the language so I guess he opened it. He is really fast on his moves, he ate here, brought the book and dissappeared without saying a word. I guess he will drop by somewhere soon anyways." Vasara said and was turning irritated. "You can do whatever the hell you want with that book. I don't like it and I don't want it."
"I don't really know what it did. It seemed to manifest as a black sphere or void in umbra and hounds of wyrm were creeping around it. The people who used it seemed to be humans, but were way too strong and... weird. We were struck by homing lighting when we tried to ambush them, and then the hell broke loose."
"You can ask them, keep the questioning part down. I don't like people harassing my pack."

"Yeah, they were a real pain in the arse, fomori were less trouble. Now I know what fat fucks feel like, so why the fuck they don't just stop being fat fucks eludes me." She swigs back a mouthful of vodka and shrugs. "It was a book, some leech was reading it, it fucked up the spirit world. It explodes and reforms when ripped up. What the hell else do you want to know?"

"Fair enough," Ben said. "Homing lightning? I don't think I've ever heard of anything that can do that. But we'll get to the bottom of this." He dropped the subject of the book. Probing further would only irritate Vasara more. He would have to question the kids later. "If you have a few minutes, I would like to ask something from you. This is not a favour. I will repay you for this, you only need to ask." There was no point twisting words or sugarcoating the request. They were both warriors and they had other things to do. "It is about a Cliath, an Ahroun and a Shadow Lord," he said. "His name is Zachary. He is not entirely incompetent, but he lacks experience. Despite his rank, he is still soft and naive. He needs to toughen and be a man. I have seen you with your pack. If he has any chance of developing into something useful to the Garou Nation, it is with your harsh yet just guidance. I believe the Sept has been too forgiving with him so far." He held Vasara's gaze for as long as he spoke, showing him complete honesty. There was no deception. "I do not expect you to let him join your pack without having him prove himself first," he admitted. "I just think he needs to find his place. Give him a chance. I assure he will do his utmost best not to let you down."

"Soft and naive Shadow Lord?" Vasara asked, clearly suspicious now. "You want us to babysit him, whip him in a shape or just know what we do and where we are?"
"We will not be easy for him, and if he dies then he dies and I don't want to hear any whining in any point on how he will be treated, he will toughen up or die doing so." Vasara spoke and rubbed his chin. "For that you will make us a Shrine for our Totem, Tapio the Great Bear and make a fitting talen for each of us. It is up to you what you make but it has to be different for everyone." Last request was odd, but Vasara wanted to know what kind of things Ben saw fitting to them, as it would show Vasara what he thought about members of the Pack.
"Deal?"

Ben did not seem bothered by Vasara's warning. If he wanted a babysitter he would have hired one. "No less than I expected from a leader of a war pack," Ben said. "And in return, that is a wise request. I will build your shrine." He looked at Nadezhda briefly and then back at Vasara. "I am not asking you to look after a child. I am giving the chance to mould an Ahroun into a warrior. Talens are not trinkets that can be made in a day, they take time and effort. I can teach your pack to bind spirits if you like, but you will have to make your own chiminage."

"Soft and naive Shadow Lord ahroun sounds like a child to me. It actually sounds more like a fucking faerytale queer than anything real. I didn't know your Tribe even could be able to create one. Dark and brooding yes, backstabbing and opportunistic, of course. Or at least sneaky watchers, or something born out of Rage of thunderstorm itself. I would never believe soft and naive without seeing one." Vasara grinned, and his tone made it clear he was complimenting Shadow Lords here, not insulting.
Anyways Ben had offered Slagbröder already more than he anticipated to get. "We have a deal. Bring the boy in."

"You'd be surprised what happens when mothers coddle their boys too much," Ben said with a hint of a smirk. "I'm glad we've reached a deal. I hope Zachary will not disappoint."
He held up the bag. "And I will look into this," he said. "There was one more thing..."
He started towards the exist but stopped halfway there. "Cloud-Dancer-rhya wondered if she could have a word with you," he added. "Tomorrow morning, at the library."
He gave Nadya a polite nod, and then said to Vasara. "Later then." And he left.

After Ben had left, Nadya finishes her glass of vodka and leans back watching Vasara. "You want to start babysitting now? Have fun. Have we met Zachary?" With so many new faces turning up, and no moot yet since their arrival, Nadya has thoroughly lost track of all of them.

"Yeah, sure." Vasara said shortly to Ben's greetings from Cloud-Dancer and watched him leave.
"I don't think we have met him. And if he is such a wimp Ben told us, he won't last long before dying or running away with his tail between his legs." Vasara said to Nadezhda. "We got the Shrine and ritual-teaching, and well... Commands-the-Tides didn't seem too unhappy of thought of this boy dying on line of duty. How long do you think he can keep up anyways?"
"He is cliath so he is not a Cub we can't seriously rough up and he definitely is not a member of our pack. If he endangers the pack by doing something stupid, I will beat him until he leaves, starts to understand shit or dies."

Aleksi had watched the unfamiliar longhaired hippy to leave, grabbed the door so it didn't close and knocked the doorframe of the black room. "You were looking for me?"
He looked inside the room and wondered what Slagbröder wanted this time. At least he was relieved now for being here, instead of being bossed around at caern by everyone who just happened to be around. These Fenrir after all were his folk.

"Suits me." As long as they weren't expected to hold the boy's hand. "What about learning that gift?"
She looks up at Aleksi's entry. "Hey, come on in, close the door. I've got a present for you." After the door is closed, she reaches behind the chair where she had stashed the guns, and draws out the Saiga-12 shotgun. "It's empty at the moment, but I know some people that can get ammunition for it. I thought you might want to keep this close to hand, since the badguys have been gunning for kinfolk lately. If you've ever used a Kalashnikov it's similar, just in twelve-gauge and semi-auto only." She puts it on the table so he can look at it if he wants, then reaches back and pulls out the Sig pistol and it's spare clip. "This too. Both the spare and the clip in the gun are loaded, fifteen shots each. I can get you more rounds if you need them."

"What have you been up lately? Haven't seen you in a while." Vasara asked Aleksi as he crashed on one of the beds.
Vasara stared at the roof and tried to think. "Have we forgotten something? Why do I have this feeling it is too quiet?"

"Danny asked me to take Kasiya and Martin out of Berlin. It failed and badly, we got stopped and things went bad. I spent most of my day being questioned at the police-station like some common criminal. Martin dissappeared, Kasiya seems to be a wanted pedophile/murderer or something similar and well... It did not go well." Aleksi didn't wait for Vasara's reaction here and immediately went into other subjects, hopefully leaving Vasara stunned enough to blow his steam out before lashing out.
Aleksi looked at Saiga. He was good with his hands and knew thing or two on guns. "Semi-automatic? I might be able to fix that." he said as he took the Saiga and tested it's weight on his hands. "We could also extend the magazines. And chop the stock, maybe make a lighter, foldable one to make this one more easily concealed."
Now obviously Nadezhda had found thing that managed to arouse Aleksi's interest and he opened his big toolbelt he carried almost all the time. After all he was also a handyman here, not just bouncer. "With simple modifications even rifle can be turned into really heavy but concealable firepower. Range suffers if we touch the barrel, and accuracy if we chop the stock, but with foldable stock that can be avoided."
He pulled out of his toolbelt a very short shotgun, old double-barrel with barrels next to each other, not on top of each other. "I rather use this one than a pistol, if you are talking about those enemies I think you are talking about."

"Kasiya is a kiddy-fucker?" Nadya shrugs. "He always was creeping around keeping to himself. There had to be something up with him."
She shrugs again, it's not like she has any children that she's worried about Kasiya molesting. She sits up and takes interest as Aleksi demonstrates his experience. "Yeah, my AKSU has folding stock and short barrel, handy little gun that is. Range isn't a problem since I have my Dragunov for that." She nods at the sight of the sawnoff, and for a moment actually considers sharing the silver buckshot she's accumulated. Maybe later "You do a lot of custom work?"
