Wolf helps post-torture Ron and celebrates with Garion (not at the same time)

Wolf comes out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on his pants.

He's been wearing modern clothes more often lately. He likes them. Therefor, he is wearing very dark blue Dockers, and a red t-shirt.

He's also been working more often lately.

No, no particular reason why. No, it doesn't have anything to do with Tim's death.

Anyways.

Wolf comes out of the kitchen, wiping his hands dry on his pants, and decides to order a glass of water.

He hasn't been quite as hungry lately, either.

Wolf nods, getting a glass of water from the bar, and also a bowl of warm water and a cloth. A soft, cotton cloth.

"Here," he says, setting it down on the table. The water in the bowl has an analgesic in it. "Get the cloth wet and suck on it for a little while. It will help."

Ron complied, though his hands were trembling so much he could barely hold the cloth right. He was still glancing around.

Wolf reaches out again, touching Ron's shoulder.

"Ron." He's waiting for Ron to meet his eyes.

Ron finally looked up. "Y-yeah?" he asked, after taking the bloody cloth out of his mouth.

"Whoever it was, you're safe now."

Ron looked down at the cloth again. "It wasn't anybody," he lied, shakily. "I fell and hit my dresser."

He snorts, but continues to look at Ron.

"Ron, they can't hurt you now."

"They let Lucius Malfoy out after he tried to kill me," Ron said carefully. "They didn't even tell me they let him out. He came up behind me and threatened me, and I though he was still in jail. He tried to kill me when I was half-dead and had nearly bled to death and they let him go. He's...very slow compared to some people. And a lot less dangerous compared to some people," Ron said pointedly, glancing around. "Sometimes...sometimes it's good to just to sit and be quiet, isn't it? We should just both sit and be quiet."

Wolf is not very happy with what he has just been told.

He might go and talk to somebody about it when he's done here.

But for now, he needs to stay with Ron. As long as he's here, the person will, most likely, leave Ron alone. And Ron needs to know that somebody is looking out for him.

"Yes, sometimes it is; how's your tongue doing?" By now it should be getting fairly numb.

"S'better. I bit it pretty bad. But it'll be fine." He was looking at Wolf intently as he said this, as if to say, Yes, it hurt so bad I nearly bit clean through my own tongue. You have a reason to worry. It's just...you can't do anthing about it or I'm dead.

Wolf looks ~~pissed~~ concerned.

"Maybe you should get someone to look at it for you."

He'll be damned if he's just going to sit around and do nothing.

He just has to figure it out.

"I'll be fine," Ron said, his shaky voice finally starting to calm down a little. "Thanks for looking after me. I know you've had a rough time of things lately yourself."

Ron was master of the quick change.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis.

Wolf takes a sip of his glass of water. "Not really that bad."

Because Gaston is Not to be Discussed, unless it's to give him a reason to tear the guy apart.

"Ha, you liar," Ron scoffed. "Yes it has. That French bastard's been giving Hermione trouble too. He's got bad news written all over him."

Well, other than that one thing. Yeah. The French guy. Whatever French means.

Wolf pauses. "He's been bothering Hermione?" Virginia had told him about her. She sounded like a charming girl.

Hmm. Maybe that wasn't a very good thing to tell Wolf.

Or, maybe, from another perspective, it was.

"He's creepy. Told her she's going to marry her--basically whether she wants to or not. He's got to be twice her age or something? He was all creepy and intense and she was actually a little scare of him although she managed to outsmart him into leaving her alone for a while." Ron dabbed at his tongue and winced. "One thing's for sure--I ever get my hands on him he's dead."

Wolf is sitting with his arms on the table, both hands wrapped around the glass, and is staring at the glass.

No, he really doesn't look happy at all.

"I think we need to tell somebody about this."

And from the rather dark sound of his voice, he doesn't really sound that happy either.

"I already have," Ron said. he counted on his fingers. "My friend Biff, who's a great fighter and stuff, he's going be her bodyguard if I'm not around, Hagrid, Bernard, Faith, and my brother Bill." he thought. "Faith'll tell Bigby, so there really isn't anybody else to tell. I don't like this though. We're just going to have to wait, but like...Hermione said that this guy was..." He tried to think of how to describe a television to Wolf when he barely understood it himself. "--this guy's from a story. Based on Beauty and the Beast or something. He was obsessed with the beauty and now Hermione thinks he's sort of replaced her with Hermione in his head. ...I just know once he gets out of jail he's going to try something. But I don't reckon ther's anything else we can do."

Wolf nods, still wishing that it were possible to kick people out of Milliways.

He looks somewhat skeptical about the story. "Beauty and the Beast? What's that story about?"

It just sounds... He never particularly liked stories with "beasts," is all.

"Mind you, I'm not sure if it's the same one, 'cause some of the muggle and wizarding stories are the same, but muggles and wizards have got some of their own, too, that are different," Ron explained.

"But I think that the one about a prince who was nasty and selfish and turned out an old lady looking for shelter and it was really a fairy in disguise--which is ridiculous, 'cause fairies are daft little buggers, whatever muggles may think. Anyway, the Prince is cursed to be this horrible, ugly beast. And he has to find someone that'll love him anyway, even though he is one, to break the curse. There's only a certain amount of time he's got too, or he'll be trapped forever as a beast. So this other bloke winds up staying in the Beast's castle on a stormy night to take shelter and the Beast gets mad he ate his food and came inside uninvited and so he imprisons him. The guy's daughter is real brave and so she finds him and agrees to take his place, even though her dad doesn't want her to. And over time she starts to realize that even though the guy's all ugly and acts barbaric that he's still a really good bloke. She falls for him and she's real nice and beautiful like all fairy tale heroines, blah blah blah, so he falls for her, and then she goes hom or something to see her dad and doesn't come back in time and the beast almost dies, but she says he loves him and it saves him ands turns him back to the way he was before. And there's the happily ever after bit. "

Ron thought about this. "Apparently, though, according to Hermione, there's one version of the story with this git that fell in love with the beauty and tried to lead a mob to kill the beast to get her. 'Cause he was mental. I think that's our guy."

Wolf listens.

Finally, "Huh."

It's almost like the stories from the Kingdoms, but not quite.

But this mental character sounds just absolutely wonderful. ~~Sarcasm, get thee away!~~ "Wonderful," he says, very dryly.

"And Hermione thinks that he sort of sees her as the beauty bit. So he's after her to marry him, since he's nutters. That would leave you...er..." He trailed off.

Yes. He knows.

That might be why he's growling a little.

"Maybe we could just get Security to throw him into a cell forever. Like that monkey they have in a metal suit."

Ron shook his head. "They let out Malfoy. And the man tried to kill me in cold blood, when I was already weak and half bled to death. They won't do it." Which is why he's not telling them what happened earlier tonight either. They'd just eventually release him and then he'd kill Ron.

Gee. Sure makes him trust Security a whole lot, doesn't it.

Wolf sits quietly. At some point or another he drinks some of his water, but just isn't much in the mood for anything.
