"Combat the Wyrm Wherever It Dwells and Whenever It Breeds." Vasara said as he looked at Anna. "Many of the Other Tribes make enough exceptions on that, we Fenrir can't afford to make such. If there just were more of us, we could cover more places..." It pained Vasara when the Wyrm had the face of a youth. He tried to cheer Anna up a bit "Don't worry, the Cleansing him will give his soul better chance in his next life."
"That then must be him." Vasara half-asked and half-mentioned to both Anna and Yvonne as he pointed the boy. "Please Sense him again, I don't want to kill an innocent. Slagbröder, spread out and make sure he won't escape."
Then he raised his voice to boy still pointing at him "You there! Stand still, put the knife away and keep your hands where I can see them." [ooc: Scent of the True Form] Vasara quickly looked at Danny, he seemed fine, and sitting on his own choice instead of having something pointy and silvery stuck on his back.
Vasara closed the distance fast, gaining height and mass yet still retaining most of his human looks. [ooc: going for glabro] "Are you the runaway Black Spiral Dancer Anna told me about? The one who saved her?" he asked as he stared at the boy with strangely calm voice. After all, he knew what he needed to do, he only wanted to be sure he wouldn't be making an mistake. Deep inside he hoped the kid would come out clean, but right now he was not taking any risks.

Nadezhda starts circling around behind Tristain, drawing her shiv and holding it close so it isn't as obvious, also growing in size and strength. As she circles, her gaze doesn't move from Tristain's face.

"We don't know what he's done yet." Kamut says, as he glances around the area to see if there are any witnesses to what might turn into a bloodbath. "Even the innocent can be tainted by being in the wrong place." Kamut circles around in the opposite direction to Nadya, stopping halfway around that side. Having never gotten into the habit of sniffing, he doesn't show any sign of examining Tristain.

Yvonne stands back and watches as Slagbröder begin to circle their prey. Conscious that she might of just made a mistake earlier, she looks for the taint in him again. Not really knowing any way of stopping them if they just decide to go ahead, she looks to Danny to intervene before things get out of hand.

As she hadn't learnt to detect the subtle signs of the Wyrm's taint yet, Anna let Yvonne do it and circled around to complete the ring and close off Tristain's exit routes. At the same time she hoped he wouldn't run, so she wouldn't have to be the one to kill him. Either way, she would fulfil her promise after his death.

Danny stood up, not surprised to see the pack arrive. He had expected Anna to call them sooner or later. He remained in homid and stepped towards Vasara, although without any signs of aggression. He could see the burning anger behind the calm exterior, and knew that Vasara was only confirming his kill.
"That's him," he said. "He seeks redemption, and his intentions are sincere. He has come to be tried, to accept judgment, and to stop running. Your Theurge offered to cleanse his soul of taint."
He glanced over at Anna, who seemed to have changed her mind in the short time she'd been reunited with her pack. He knew his words would mean very little to Vasara. He was a Fenrir after all.
Although Yvonne had been sure she could sense the Wyrm's taint on Tristain before, now she is not so confident. She can't seem to manage to detect it again. Kamut on the other hand has no doubt that Tristain is tainted. Vasara's gifts also confirm that he is Garou.

Tristain looks up as the group approaches. The two girls he recognises, but the rest are new faces, and even Anna seems to have lost any friendliness she might have had. He stands as the large Garou addresses him, and does as he is asked. He's aware, after all, how little difference the knife would actually make if anything kicked off.
He glances around nervously as the group move to surround him, but finds it hard not to have his gaze drawn back to the glabro man doing the talking. He draws a deep breath to steady himself, but can't conceal his fear at the number and aggressiveness of the surrounding Garou.
"I am. Though if it helps, they never let me at the Spiral. So I never got that dose of 'enlightenment'." Even through his fear, he manages to convey his attitude toward Spiral enlightenment. Then he drops his eyes. "I know what I've done. I know... I let myself be led... I want to make amends. I just wish I knew how."

"Well that went better than I would have thought. " Saxon commented as he walked with Yvonne outside into the corridor. "I thought he might have throated her for dealing with a Spiral." He glanced at Nadya before continuing with Yvonne, "Sometime I ant to talk with you about the gift of the Spirals, how it worked on you, but best make that latter."
As they walked towards Danny and the Ronin Saxon moved so he was near Vasara. "Lets not kill him straight away, if he has been with the spirals then we should get as much information out of him as possible." He frowned as he saw the Ronin was playing with a knife but Danny seemed ok.

Vasara looked at Danny, showing his dissappointment clearly. Then he locked his eye at Tristain "He is Spiral, if we meet a Spiral cub on his first run outside Hive, you are saying we should just let him be until he does something?" Vasara extended his question to everyone around. "You do not watch Wyrm grow when you see it young and easy to kill, you will strike it down so it can never kill anyone or corrupt anything we hold dear!"
Saxon's words fell to deaf ears, all Vasara wanted to know from this Spiral was how would he die.
"He has Taint, he admits being a Spiral. What more do you want?!" Vasara looked at Kamut to see if he could confirm the Taint too, Yvonne already had told him he was tainted but she was not packmember and besides she was a Black Fury, and they couldn't be fully trusted.
This was too much for Vasara, he had lost enough packmembers to Black Spiral Dancers, he would never let one walk. "Out of my way, old man!" he snarled at Danny "You spit on our losses, memories of friends who died fighting Spirals, by standing on my way now!" Vasara started to circle around Danny to get his claws on Tristain, not letting his fiery stare stray from this Spiral. "I will cleanse your body with claw and fire, and if you truly are repentant, I will perform Rite of Cleansing on your remains myself after that!"

"Have you lost your faith in me already?" Danny said. "I have looked into his heart. He is not so far corrupted that he cannot be saved. And he would not be the first that has retained his conscience through the brainwashing."
He shifted to Glabro now and placed himself in front of Tristain, ready to intervene if Vasara attacked. Old man or not, he was still impressively frightening in his Glabro form.
"You might not see the wisdom in showing mercy, Judgment-from-the-Skies, and yes, he does deserve to die for what he has done. But mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice."
There are few things more frightening than two angry Garou squaring off. All those present could feel the tension. Even the birds and squirrels had retreated in silence. But Danny knew this appeal would be lost on the Fenrir, so he was ready to grab Vasara if he tried anything.

Tristain's eyes widen in fear at Vasara's words, and he looks around, clearly checking for any clear routes out, but finding none. His gaze falls on Anna, but there is no support or aid to be found there, so he turns back, and moves to keep Danny, the only person present who seems not to want him dead, between him and Vasara.
"Hey, I saved one of yours from that big fuck, doesn't that count for anything?" He glances around to Anna again, looking for anything anywhere to suggest that he's anything other than dead right now.
((Rage, please.))

Nadya steps closer behind Tristain and looks over his and Danny's shoulder at Vasara. She holds her shiv out to her side so he can see it clearly and gauge her intent. All she needs is a nod and she'll cut Tristain's throat. Until then, she simply stands ready to intercept him if he tries to flee. From past experience, she's ready to cut all the way through to his spine. Even a human can manage a few lethal death throes if they're merely bleeding to death, a professional throat cutting goes all the way.

Kamut nods hesitantly. "He is..." He pauses, considers how best to put this without sounding like he's trying to defend the Wyrm or trying to argue with Vasara. "But I think it would be best if we hear his crimes first."

Yvonne shakes her head in doubt and disbelief, things are rapidly getting out of hand and she doesn't realise she's holding her breath with the rising tension. She stays silent as Vasara and Danny face off, knowing there's little she can do to change what's going to happen.

"You don't talk to Wyrm, you don't question Wyrm. You destroy the Wyrm." Vasara said to Kamut and Saxon before looking at Nadezhda. At least she understood the situation. "Don't attack him, don't let him escape."
Vasara turned to Danny, first time in his life showing his teeth and downright snarling the words at him "What are you doing, Walk-With-Death?" Vasara looked straight at Danny's eye "Are you willing to fight for his life, against me? So be it then!" Vasara roared as he shifted into his huge, scarred, terrifying crinos. "I, Judgement-From-The-Skies, Half-Moon of Get of Fenris, WILL challenge you! I do know our difference in Ranks but I DO NOT let a Spiral live! Wyrm must be scourged or it will be the downfall for all of us! I warn you one final time; Step aside or face the consequences!" Vasara lowered himself to meet Danny's gaze one more time.
